Q: A script that runs every second in a chrome extension with manifest v3 This is my first chrome extension using manifest v3, and I want to make a timer in it.
This is supposed to update every second, and not run on any specific tab nor the popup window.
I tried to do this in my service worker:
let counter = 0
setInterval(() => {
    counter++
}, 1000)

But that didn't work well, because after around half a minute, the service worker would go "inactive", and thus stop this loop.
So I am just looking for a way to make a loop that executes some code every 1 second. This loop always has to be running. And I do not really have a way to "launch" say a function every second from another page. I can start it once, but because of the service worker that goes inactive after a while, then this script has to either just never die or relaunch itself every second.
Is this even possible?

A: Google recommends using their "Alarm API" instead of timers to schedule running code: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/migrating_to_service_workers/#alarms
So instead of running a "setTimeout" or "setInterval" in your background worker like this:
const TIMEOUT = 3 * 60 * 1000; // 3 minutes in milliseconds
setTimeout(() => {
  chrome.action.setIcon({
    path: getRandomIconPath(),
  });
}, TIMEOUT);

You should instruct Chrome on when to run it instead:
chrome.alarms.create({ delayInMinutes: 3 });

chrome.alarms.onAlarm.addListener(() => {
  chrome.action.setIcon({
    path: getRandomIconPath(),
  });
});

Google is boosting its AI-as-a-service offerings this week, most notably with the alpha release of a new Contact Center AI solution.
Contact Center AI is built around its Dialogflow development suite for conversational agents, which was launched last fall and already in wide use. Dialogflow Enterprise Edition now has the ability to build AI-powered virtual agents for contact centers, a Phone Gateway for taking calls without infrastructure, Knowledge Connectors for understanding unstructured data like FAQs and Sentiment Analysis.
In Contact Center AI, a Virtual Agent first answers the call and handles it if possible. If not, it passes the call to a human representative, who is helped by an Agent Assist system that continues to monitor the call and provide supporting info as needed. There is also a Conversational Topic Modeler to analyze topics from audio recordings and chat logs.
In outline, it sounds like some other systems already out there, but the implication is that this is a contact center offering Duplex-like capability. Google is clearly wary of the negative feedback it received when Duplex — a human-sounding bot — was demoed in the spring. Its announcement made clear that Contact Center AI will observe "best practices," which now include telling people when they are talking to a bot.
It's supposed to sit between highly customizable machine learning tools like TensorFlow on one end and pre-trained machine learning functionality like Cloud Vision API on the other.
The first service for Cloud AutoML is Cloud AutoML Vision, now available in beta. Employing a drag-and-drop interface, it supports the ability to create machine learning models for image recognition and then quickly deploy them on Google Cloud.
Also announced in beta releases this week are AutoML Natural Language and AutoML Translation.
The Natural Language service can be employed to sift information about people, places, events and other topic categories from documents, news stories or blog posts, or it can determine sentiment or intent in call center conversations or messages in an app.
The new AutoML Translation lets developers, who may have limited machine learning training, create high-end custom models for specific purposes.
Among a variety of other improvements to various AI-based cloud technologies, Google also said that its designed-from-scratch Cloud TPU customer processors, optimized for machine learning and first announced last year, are now available in alpha as third-generation versions.

Kingston Man Sentenced To 16 Years' Imprisonment For Armed Bank Robbery
SCRANTON – The United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Shawn Cavanaugh, age 38, of Kingston, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on October 25, 2019, by United States District Court Judge Robert D. Mariani to 192 months' imprisonment followed by four years of supervised release, for an armed bank robbery.
According to United States Attorney David J. Freed, Cavanaugh and his co-defendant, Doug Sickler, robbed the PNC Bank in Avoca, Pennsylvania on June 21, 2017, while threatening employees with pellet guns. Sickler and Cavanaugh were arrested on June 22, 2017, and have remained in custody since. In addition to the sentence of imprisonment, Judge Mariani ordered that Cavanaugh pay $909 to the victim of his crime.
Cavanaugh's co-defendant, Doug Sickler, was previously sentenced to 63 months' imprisonment.
The matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Kingston Police Department. Assistant United States Attorneys Phillip J. Caraballo and Robert J. O'Hara prosecuted the case.
This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. The Department of Justice reinvigorated PSN in 2017 as part of the Department's renewed focus on targeting violent criminals, directing all U.S. Attorney's Offices to work in partnership with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement and the local community to develop effective, locally-based strategies to reduce violent crime.

Q: How to identify if a number is an integer using JavaScript
Possible Duplicate:
How to check if a number is float or integer?

I have been using a JavaScript function isNaN(value) for identifying whether a number is an integer or a float. But now I am facing another problem that isNaN() is not filtering float. It is accepting it as integer.
Also it must treat 1.0 as an integer
Can someone guide me to find out a way in which I can filter integer values as well?

A: In javaScript, there is no difference between decimal and integer, they are both number. One way to diffrentiated is to use regular expression to test the transformed string of the number
var intTest = /^-?(\d+|0)$/;
if(intTest.test(someNumber)) {
   console.log('int');

}

// intTest.test(2);
// true
// intTest.test(2.1);
// false
// intTest.test(0);
// true
// intTest.test(-1);
// true
// intTest.test(-1.2);
// false

A: function is_int(value){
  if ((parseFloat(value) == parseInt(value)) && !isNaN(value)) {
      return true;
  }
  else {
      return false;
  }
}

this too:
function isInt(n) {
   return n % 1 == 0;
}

This will work if you want 2.00 to count as an integer.
function is_int(value){
   return !isNaN(parseInt(value * 1));
}

Will work if you want strictly of int type.

A: You can use regular expression
if(/^-?\d+\.?\d*$/.test(1.23)) {
    // hurray this is a number
}

Edwin Olson talks robotics at World Science Festival
Edwin Olson
Prof. Edwin Olson spoke on his work in the realm of robotics at the annual World Science Festival in New York City on Sunday, June 2. His presentation was a part of the Festival's acclaimed Cool Jobs program, which features a series of thought-provoking and inspirational lectures on technical occupations aimed at young people and their families.
Prof. Olson spoke about his motivation for becoming a roboticist ("It's cool!") and how he was drawn into becoming a researcher in the field. He explained the many activities that robots can perform in order to protect or help humans and how a robot's form and operation are a result of its intended purpose. His lecture included a short video presentation from his work as a graduate student on an early autonomous vehicle, and then moved to a live demonstration of robots produced in the APRIL laboratory. The demonstration included a game of hide and seek, in which two volunteers from the audience hid while two others gave commands to robots to seek them out. Prof. Olson's presentation was livestreamed and recorded.
Grad students Lauren Hinkle and Rob Goeddel demo robots at WSF.
In addition to his presentation, Prof. Olson and some of his students participated in workshops and demonstrations of his lab's robots over the course of the science festival weekend.

Another UK University Votes to Ditch Beef
University of East Anglia in Norwich aims to follow in the footsteps of the University of Cambridge, Goldsmith's college, and Portugal's University of Coimbra in removing beef from its menu to fight the climate crisis.
by Anna Starostinetskaya
The University of East Anglia's (UAE) student-elected Union Council voted to stop the sale of beef on campus in an effort to fight climate change. The students want to build on the existing Meat Free Monday policy on campus with new vegan food options on other days and a general shift away from environmentally damaging foods such as meat and dairy. UAE's vote follows a number of other educational institutions that have banned beef in recent months, including Goldsmith's college, University of Cambridge, and University of Coimbra—the oldest university in Portugal. Nonprofit Moving Animals joined UK's #NoBeef campaign to create guides and support systems to help universities transition to meat-free menus. "Universities continue to have a major role in implementing policies and influencing public thought, as well as providing much of the academic work and research that creates the conversation around the climate catastrophe," Moving Animals co-founder Paul Healey said. "Higher places of learning also represent a significant number of the UK population, who can—and should—be mobilised to support a wider transition towards a more sustainable plant-based food system." Other universities are also interested in removing environmentally destructive foods from their dining halls, including Oxford University, which plans to eliminate beef by the end of the year, according to Kaya Axelsson, Vice President of Charities and Communities at the prestigious school, who said that the beef ban is "something students are pushing for, and it is part of our broader climate action plan."

A week before my wedding a friend of mine suggested adding games to the wedding. I'm usually one to avoid participating in games so I hadn't thought about this at all and I had too much on my mind already with wedding planning. I was bored that day so I decided to google it anyway. Nothing really caught my eye until I read about "The Shoe Game" .
I hadn't heard of it before but after reading a few more blogs about it I decided it would be a fun game to add to the reception. Also, anything involving shoes would pique my interest! Basically you bring in two chairs to the dance floor and sit back to back with your spouse. You take off your shoes and give each other one of them so you are holding one of your own and one from your spouse. You'll be asked a series of questions and you raise the shoe to answer who you think would fit the question. You won't be able to see the other person answers which makes it even more fun. I didn't want us to know the questions beforehand so I asked my friend to look online for ideas and put together a list of questions that we can send to our DJ beforehand.
I am so glad we decided to add this game! It was a great ice breaker after dinner when guests are starting to get tired from all the drinking and dancing. It also makes them feel more involved and get to know the bride and groom better. You're sure to get some funny responses that will get the crowd laughing. I remember on our way to our hotel after the wedding we were trying to recall our answers to some of the questions. I thought it was a lot of fun and we both laughed it off.
Here is the list of questions that my friend put together for us.
1. Whose idea was it to play this game?
3. When you first met, who made the first move?
4. Who organized the first date?
5. Who said I love you first?
6. Who says 'I love you' most often?
7. Before you met, who do you think was the bigger nerd in high school?
8. Who wants a baby first?
9. Who wants more children?
10. Who will be doing the cooking?
11. Who will be doing the laundry?
12. Who will be most likely to wake up grumpy?
13. Who snores the loudest?
14. Who is more likely to be running late?
15. Who is better at keeping surprises/secrets?
16. Who is more adventurous?
17. Who is the better dresser?
18. Who is better looking?
19. Who usually starts an argument?
20. Who wears the pants in your relationship?
21. Who is more romantic?
22. Who do you love most in this whole wide world?
This is undoubtedly the most special event venue in the city. We had 6 passed appetizers with the Liguria table which consisted of steamed veggies and fruits and breads. I didn't even care that I'd just been to another feast less than 12 hours ago. At Seattle Wedding venues I could not stop eating.

The error is coming from any/all of my node_modules folder and the code is correct.  I'm guessing something has changed w/ versions of something in my dev dependencies but not sure how to track it down...
I'm using RN 61.5 old I know but this is a production env and can't update atm.  Any help on where to look to find the issue please?

The new Audi RS Q3 and the new Audi RS Q3 Sportback
"We established a completely new segment with the first generation of the Audi RS Q3**. In order to continue this success story, we also offer the RS Q3** as an SUV Coupé for customers with a particular affinity for design," says Oliver Hoffmann, Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH. "In doing so, we are setting a trend and tapping new growth potential for Audi Sport GmbH."
Illustrator of character: the exterior design
The new Audi RS Q3** and the Audi RS Q3 Sportback** share numerous RS design features while also each illustrating their unique character through many details. The gloss black Singleframe with its three-dimensional honeycomb structure makes the two high-performance compact cars look even sharper. Its position is lower as compared to the Q3**, and it is inserted directly into the RS-specific bumper with large lateral air inlets. The striking boomerang-shaped blades in the bumper are designed exclusively for the RS Q3**. The RS genes are also apparent in the flat slits above the Singleframe radiator grille.
With its coupé-like roof line that slopes downward toward the rear, the RS Q3 Sportback** is 45 millimeters (1.8 in) lower than the RS Q3**. The rising shoulder line of the Sportback runs lower than that of its sister model and thus also lowers the body's optical focus. This makes the wheels appear even larger and the SUV Coupé seem a little more muscular. The wheel arches, which are flared by ten millimeters (0.4 in), make both cars look wider.
The rear design also appears very powerful. With the low rear window and the roof edge spoiler in gloss black with the RS-specific spoiler lip, the RS Q3 Sportback** appears even wider and more dynamic than its sister model. The low-slung roof line culminates in strong, flat sloping D-pillars. The RS-specific long roof edge spoiler in the RS Q3** emphasizes the pronounced forward thrust of the high-performance SUV and ensures improved downforce. The new generation of the RS Q3** comes for the first time with a dual-branch RS exhaust system with large oval tailpipes on both sides. This exhaust system sits in an RS-specific bumper with rear diffuser and horizontal blades.
The compact high-performance SUV and the compact high-performance SUV Coupé are fitted with LED headlights as standard. Audi offers matrix LED headlights with RS-specific darkened bezels as an option.
Unique: the engine
The new RS Q3 and RS Q3 Sportback are fitted with the powerful five-cylinder 2.5 TFSI. It now draws just over 17 percent more power from 2,480 cc of displacement with 294 kW (400 PS) (combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 8.9 – 8.8; combined CO2 emissions in g/km: 204 – 202) than in the preceding generation of the RS Q3. Its maximum torque of 480 Nm (354.0 lb-ft) is available between 1,950 and 5,850 rpm. The RS Q3** and RS Q3 Sportback** sprint from zero to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in just 4.5 seconds. Their top speed is regulated at 250 km/h (155.3 mph) or an optional 280 km/h (174.0 mph).
The particular firing sequence of 1-2-4-5-3 and the odd number of cylinders make for a very special rhythm and unique engine sound. The dual-branch RS exhaust system emphasizes the characteristic sound of the five-cylinder engine, and the optional RS sport exhaust system makes it even sharper. The five-cylinder engine has won the sought-after "International Engine of the Year Award" nine times in a row.
As standard, the power of the five-cylinder engine is transmitted via a seven-speed S tronic to the quattro permanent all-wheel drive. The wheel-selective torque control perfects the safe and agile handling.
Sporty, agile, and versatile: the suspension
The consistently sporty suspension tuning is a basic requirement for the outstanding driving characteristics of the RS Q3** and RS Q3 Sportback**. The standard RS sport suspension lowers the body by 10 millimeters (0.4 in) as compared to the Q3 family. Upon request, the RS sport suspension is available with Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC), whose sensors measure the sprung mass vibrations of the body and counteract rolling motions of the body when driving through curves at high speed and during load changes. The RS-tuned dampers are then adjusted accordingly to the road surface conditions and driving situation.
The dynamic handling system Audi drive select influences not only the suspension, but also the quattro drive, the steering, the S tronic, the engine characteristics, and the sound, for example. Depending on the selected equipment, there is a choice of five or six drive modes: comfort, auto, dynamic, efficiency, and individual or, as an alternative to the individual mode, the two new RS-specific modes RS1 and RS2. Via the MMI touch display, the driver can adjust and save the two RS modes individually. Simply pressing the new "RS MODE" steering wheel button provides rapid access to the two new RS modes and the last drive mode selected and allows the driver to switch between modes. This allows the customer to adjust their RS model in an even more individual way and to switch quickly between a dedicated sporty drive mode and a comfort-focused profile.
The RS-tuned progressive steering also conveys close contact with the road even on fast curves. Behind the standard 20-inch or optional 21-inch wheels, the all-new six-piston
RS steel brake system works with ventilated and perforated disks measuring 375 millimeters (14.8 in) (front) and 310 millimeters (12.2 in) (rear, not perforated). Their brake calipers are painted black as standard and are available in red as an option. The brake calipers of the optional all-new RS ceramic brake that measures 380 millimeters (15.0 in)(front, ceramic) and 310 millimeters (12.2 in) (rear, steel) are designed in either gray, red, or blue.
Great everyday usability: the space concept
A driving experience and performance values typical for a sports car combined with all the comfort-related advantages of a compact SUV, made possible by the overall concept of the RS Q3**: The compact powerhouses are designed as full-fledged five-seaters and while being extremely sporty, they also offer great everyday usability thanks to their high level of variability and the large interior. As standard, the rear bench can be moved longitudinally by 150 millimeters (5.9 in) in the RS Q3 and by 130 millimeters (5.1 in) in the RS Q3 Sportback**, and the inclination of its divided backrest can be adjusted in seven stages. The luggage compartment thus holds 530 liters (18.7 cu ft); with the backrests folded down the figure rises to 1,525 liters (53.9 cu ft) (Sportback: 1,400 liters (49.4 cu ft)).
Driver-oriented: the interior
The athletic exterior design of the RS Q3** and RS Q3 Sportback** is continued in the spacious interior. The entire cockpit is very much designed with the driver in mind – the air-conditioning control unit, the center console, and the MMI touch display are tilted toward the driver by ten degrees. The RS sport leather steering wheel, flattened at the bottom and including newly designed shift paddles, comes with the new "RS MODE" steering wheel button that allows the driver to control two optional RS modes in the Audi drive select dynamic handling system. The RS-specific displays open automatically in the Audi virtual cockpit plus. Sport seats upholstered with black leather/Alcantara with an RS embossing are fitted as standard. An even sportier variant is available in the form of the RS sport seats in fine nappa leather with an RS-specific honeycomb pattern and integrated head restraints.
RS design packages in red or blue provide color highlights in the interior. The standard ambient lighting package and the multi-color contour/ambient lighting package illuminate the interior of the RS Q3** and RS Q3 Sportback** when it is dark.
The architecture of the instrument panel with the MMI touch display and the Audi virtual cockpit in the RS design harmonizes perfectly with the new operating concept. MMI navigation plus, the top-of-the-line system in the infotainment program, offers the same variety of functions as in the large Audi models.
Always up to date: Infotainment and Audi connect
Together with MMI navigation plus, the online services of Audi connect are made available on board at LTE Advanced speed via a permanently installed SIM card. This includes, for example, online traffic information and the online points of interest service, which complements route guidance with photos, opening hours, and user evaluations. Thanks to the inter-connectivity of the Audi fleet, the RS Q3** and RS Q3 Sportback** receive and provide information about parking spaces on the roadside, hazard areas, and speed limits, which are detected via the on-board camera and vehicle sensors.
Equipped for all situations: the assist systems
The new RS Q3** and the new RS Q3 Sportback** are equipped with numerous standard comfort and safety systems, including the parking system plus as well as lane departure and lane change warnings. The standard scope in Germany also includes Audi pre sense front as well as the protective measures provided by Audi pre sense basic.
The adaptive cruise assist is a highlight among the optional systems. It takes the burden off the driver during longitudinal and lateral guidance. Ultra-modern systems such as the 360 degree cameras offer assistance with parking and maneuvering. They show the direct surroundings of the car on the MMI display and allow the driver to choose from several perspectives. If, for example, the driver wants to back out of an entrance, the rear cross-traffic assist warns about approaching vehicles that the system classifies as critical.
The new RS Q3** and the new RS Q3 Sportback** have been on sale at dealerships in Germany and other European countries since the end of 2019.
