Q: binary read/write runtime failure I've looked at binary reading and writing objects in c++ but are having some problems. It "works" but in addition I get a huge output of errors/"info".
What I've done is
Person p2;

std::fstream file;
file.open( filename.c_str(), std::ios::in | std::ios::out | std::ios::binary );
file.seekg(0, std::ios::beg );
file.read ( (char*)&p2, sizeof(p2));
file.close();
std::cout << "Name: " << p2.name;

Person is a simple struct containing string name and int age. When I run the program it outputs "Name: Bob" since I have already made a program to write to a file (so the object is already in filename).
IN ADDITION to outputting the name it also outputs:
* glibc detected * program: double free og corruption (fastttop):  ***
Backtrace:
...
Memory map:
...
Abort

A: Is the name string in the Person struct a character array or a STL string? You can't fill in an STL String by binary reading data over top of it, since the data format is not serializable (contains pointers)

A: It would be interesting to see how you write the information to file as well, as well as how the Person struct is built.
If you don't have any problem that the file is plain text, my suggestion would be to write to file using string::c_str() (which returns a const char*) as well as using itoa() or itoa_s() to get the integer as a char*.
You can also have one or several constructors in Person:
Person(const std::string& name, int age);
Person(const char* name, int age);

then, when you extract the data from the file you just call the constructor with that data.

A: Either p2.name is a char* and you are writing and reading the pointer value, not what is pointed by it.  Or p2.name is a more complex type such as std::string which is using internaly pointers with the same problem.
Serializing classes often need more work than just dumping the memory representation.

A: You said you wrote the Person object to a file. Did you tried to use a dump tool to see if what you have inside the file is what you are expecting?
Also did you tried to instead of using string, use a ordinary char (as @bdk pointed out) ?

A: When you use binary IO, the size must be fixed. If you use STL string here, it would have a problem as the size of a STL string is arbitrary.


What can new artists learn from the One Direction man's first solo output?
Before his name even leave my mind and are committed to digital copy, I know that assessing the work of Harry Styles will leave me open to attack from Directioners worshipping him like the messiah. However, with the release of his debut solo single Sign of the Times, Harry has presented something that may serve as a valuable lesson in pop reinvention.
For those who haven't heard the song, Sign of the Times is a Glam-inspired pop ballad that ventures into territories most artists wouldn't be permitted to go. It's driven by a lumbering piano melody that gradually develops into what feels like a modern homage to the climax of Bowie's Rock n Roll Suicide. Grandiose string arrangements and sizzling rock guitars mask what is otherwise a very ordinary pop ballad, while Styles' vocalwork showcases his abilities without any pesky bandmates also vying for the spotlight.
So, why does this matter for new artists? Well, quite simply, it highlights two very important lessons that are worth heeding.
However, Sign of the Times dismisses several of these rules. While the chorus is a strong singalong and the vocal melody is memorable, it doesn't appropriate a current style – instead it looks three decades into the past – and it certainly exceeds the runtime. Real balladry doesn't tend to fit into the runtime rule, which is why it is often scarce in the pop genre.
If Styles shows nothing else, it is that the current pop scene still has a place for long ballads. While it must be noted that Styles is able to take liberties that many artists cannot, such as being able to croon for almost six minutes armed only with insipid lyricism and repetition, any artist eager to craft a well-balanced ballad will be relieved to know that mainstream recognition is not impossible.
This is a very important point but one that has been met with divided opinion over Styles' debut. Musically, the artist has edged away from the sound of One Direction but he is still only within arm's reach. Thinking back to Zayn's debut album, the drastic departure proved divisive to fans but was one of his saving graces from a critical perspective. Styles has instead played it somewhat safe.
It should be noted that this is not a bad thing, nor does it set a bad precedent for the future. One of the main reasons for bandmembers going solo is to allow experimentation of expression, with the member free to try genres and musical styles that may not be right for the other members. While Sign of the Times is not a full departure from One Direction's sound, it has enough of a musical distinction that it eases fans into a transition. Styles – or the team behind him – understand that a drastic shift might cause upset among audiences in a similar way to Zayn, so it is likely we will see a gradual adoption of a more Glam-rock style in future.
When the urge to change comes, artists might be quick to pursue it and express themselves differently. That is fine. But if they are conscious of audience perception and expectation, it is critical that musicians consider taking a slower approach and dripfeeding change to fans.

PagerDuty Expands to Lisbon
by Tim Armandpour
I'm delighted to announce some "boas novas" (Portuguese for "good news") today. PagerDuty is opening a new hub in Portugal's capital city, Lisbon. By the end of next year, we plan to hire up to 100 high-skilled professionals.
PagerDuty is no stranger to Europe. We already have dozens of employees across the UK and look forward to expanding to Lisbon. With direct flights linking Lisbon to San Francisco, New York and London, it will be easy for the PagerDuty community to stay connected. I look forward to exploring the city's culture, seeing St. George's Castle, getting a bite to eat in the Mercado da Ribeira, and hitting the Atlantic beaches.
Our expanded team in Lisbon means new capabilities and support for European customers. Recently, we offered customers the choice of service from the U.S. or Europe; many of our European customers feel more comfortable keeping their data in our European service region. The decision to open a new hub in Lisbon is not just because we love Portuguese culture. PagerDuty already counts notable Portuguese companies such as Farfetch, AiFi, Mediatree, Miniclip, Unbabel, and VictoriaPlum as customers.
The country has a tradition of engaging with the world, dating all the way back to Prince Henry the Navigator's support of exploration in the 1400s. That international outlook remains part of Lisbon's culture today. TechCrunch points out that the city's professionals also have a high level of proficiency in English. With an estimated one-third of the city speaking English, Lisbon is an excellent choice for international companies.
I also appreciate the efforts of the Portuguese government to boost the tech industry and the city is well on its way to becoming a leading tech hub. A €200 million initiative offers 50:50 funding to support increased venture capital investment in the country which has already led to increased funding for 18 startups. Lisbon is also home to multiple tech incubators like Fintech House and Startup Lisboa, which boost the city's entrepreneurial culture. The city is full of talented employees and potential partners.
To find out more about PagerDuty's expansion plans in Lisbon and commitment to Europe, check here to read the full press release. Visit our careers page for more details on jobs in Portugal.

        <title>MRI, near infrared spectral tomography increases specificity in breast cancer imaging</title>
        <Link>http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/~3/n7rrcD9hkxs/150709162606.htm</Link>
        <Description>Breast MRI is the most sensitive imaging technique for cancer surveillance and is recommended for screening in women with elevated risk of breast cancer. Unfortunately, breast MRI generates many "false positives," which are regions of the breast that "enhance" under imaging technology, but are not malignant.

        <Description>Researchers set out to explain how B. subtilis times its sporulation decision with its cell-division cycle, a programmed series of events that cells normally follow to reproduce. What they found is that bacteria use their DNA replication cycle to time critical, once-in-a-lifetime decisions about whether to reproduce or form spores.</Description>

        <Description>Peatlands -- waterlogged, organic soils -- have developed over thousands of years as carbon storage systems. In Southeast Asia, peat swamp forests cover about 250,000 square kilometers, a land area about the size of Michigan. Draining tropical peatlands for oil palm plantations may result in nearly twice as much carbon loss as official estimates, according to a new study.</Description>

        <Description>The world we and other animals navigate is complex and non-linear, quite unlike the way a proverbial crow flies. Scientists say our ability to get around its numerous indirect points depends, at minimum, on mapping our position within the environment, knowing routes that take us between locations, and an awareness of the correct actions to initiate at any given time: turn right, turn left, go straight. The retrosplenial cortex is a critical interface for mental mapping and way-finding, according to a new electrophysiological study.</Description>

Dose – 20mg everyday but 40mg on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
This wasn't a very exciting month.
What I found was that the hormonal cystic spot on my chin did not reappear in the second month although the one on my forehead did.
I did experience some joint pain in my hips which I think was exacerbated by the minimal weightlifting I do.
I really enjoyed Avène TriXéra emollient during this time, even more than my Emu Oil but it unfortunately appears that they've discontinued this product.
Dryness – Normal Accutane dryness around mouth and lower cheeks.
Breakouts – Nothing different from the usual. Cystic spots declined.

Q: How to resolve: FileManager.fileExists returns incorrect false I'm saving a recorded video on the device. To be able to upload it now, I need to create a Data object. The following function gets called, after the local file has been created.
I have a print statement once the file has been created. localIdentifier = "BE04AABA-BC42-413D-BC32-26B5F1DEC2A1/L0/001" correctly printed.
func uploadVideo(_ userID: String, _ videoURL: String, completion: @escaping (_ url: URL?) -> Void) {

    print("videoURL = \(videoURL)") // *1

    let fileManager = FileManager.default
    if fileManager.fileExists(atPath: videoURL) {
        print("FILE AVAILABLE")
    } else {
        print("FILE NOT AVAILABLE") // *2
    }

    if let videoData = NSData(contentsOfFile: videoURL) {
        // not executed
    }
}

After execution I get the following print statement.
*1 videoURL = file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/42572E4F-AC7F-4444-8641-111111111/Documents/201889991.mov
*2 FILE NOT AVAILABLE
But the correct video file is present in the phone's library and is played by a video player view. I have triple checked, but the file is created BEFORE this function gets called.
What am I missing?
Question 2. I need the object as Data, not as NSData, requested by the Firebase upload function. Would casting as? Data do it?
Help is very appreciated.

Affirmative action and university fit: evidence from Proposition 209

Proposition 209 banned the use of racial preferences in admissions at public colleges in California. We analyze unique data for all applicants and enrollees within the University of California (UC) system before and after Prop 209. After Prop 209, graduation rates increased by 4.4%. We present evidence that certain institutions are better at graduating more-prepared students while other institutions are better at graduating less-prepared students and that these matching effects are particularly important for the bottom tail of the qualification distribution. We find that Prop 209 led to a more efficient sorting of minority students and the sorting effects explain over 20% of the graduation rate increase. Further, universities appear to have responded to Prop 209 by investing more in their students, explaining between 30-45% of the graduation rate increase.

St. Mark, the first patriarch of the Church of Alexandria, goes to the cobbler to have his shoe fixed. The cobbler's hand is hurt and St. Mark heals it by a miracle. This man, Anianus, would follow St. Mark and succeed him as the second patriarch of the Church of Alexandria in the first century. This is by the artist G. Cima.
