Q:

Selenium, Using multiple firefoxProfileTemplates at once / specifying from selenium object rather than at server launch?

I am using Selenium RC for website testing and I need to use multiple proxies at once and am doing this using: firefoxProfileTemplate when I start the selenium server. This, however, doesn't allow me to multi-thread selenium as each selenium object still uses the same firefoxProfileTemplate, and therefore the same proxy, (I am using Python to control / interact with selenium) as they all have the same proxy.
I am wondering if there is a way to specify the firefoxProfileTemplate when I launch the selenium object / open a web page with selenium rather than just when I launch the server. Alternatively, is there a way to run multiple instances of the selenium server and specify which one to interact with? Thanks for any advice.

A:

Since Selenium Rc is the mechanism to start browser the only way to do what you want is with multiple rc instances. When starting it add -port #### and give your instances unique port numbers.
When you create a selenium object you do sel = Selenium('localhost', ####, '*firefox', 'http://foo.bar')
As a side note in Selenium 2 which is in alpha you can build all of this programatically since there is no reliance on RC.

## Lesson: Using Selenium RC with Multiple FirefoxProfileTemplates

### Section 1: Introduction

In this lesson, we will learn how to use Selenium RC with multiple FirefoxProfileTemplates. Selenium RC is a tool that automates web applications by running tests against them. It is commonly used for testing web sites and web applications.

### Section 2: What is a FirefoxProfileTemplate?

A FirefoxProfileTemplate is a configuration file that defines the settings for a Firefox browser instance. These settings include the proxy server to use, the username and password for authentication, and other browser preferences.

### Section 3: Why Use Multiple FirefoxProfileTemplates?

Using multiple FirefoxProfileTemplates allows you to run tests against different web sites or web applications using different configurations. For example, you may want to test a web site using a proxy server for some tests and without a proxy server for others.

### Section 4: How to Use Multiple FirefoxProfileTemplates with Selenium RC

To use multiple FirefoxProfileTemplates with Selenium RC, you must create multiple instances of the Selenium RC server. You can do this by running multiple commands to start the server, each with a different FirefoxProfileTemplate.

For example, if you have two FirefoxProfileTemplates named "template1" and "template2", you can start two Selenium RC servers using these templates with the following commands:

```
java -Dwebdriver.firefox.profile=template1 -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar -role node
java -Dwebdriver.firefox.profile=template2 -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar -role node
```

Once you have started the Selenium RC servers, you can connect to them using Python or any other programming language that supports Selenium RC. To connect to the first server, use the following code:

```python
from selenium import *

profile = FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("browser.proxy.autoconfig_url", "http://localhost:8888")
selenium_rc_server = "http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"

driver = Remote("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub", desired_capabilities={'browserName': 'firefox', 'firefox_profile': profile})
driver.get("http://example.com")
```

To connect to the second server, use the following code:

```python
from selenium import *

profile = FirefoxProfile()
profile.set_preference("browser.proxy.autoconfig_url", "http://localhost:9999")
selenium_rc_server = "http://localhost:5555/wd/hub"

driver = Remote("http://localhost:5555/wd/hub", desired_capabilities={'browserName': 'firefox', 'firefox_profile': profile})
driver.get("http://example.com")
```

### Section 5: Practical Examples

Here are some practical examples of how to use multiple FirefoxProfileTemplates with Selenium RC:

1. Testing a web site with a proxy server for some tests and without a proxy server for others.

```python
# Test with proxy server
driver = Remote("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub", desired_capabilities={'browserName': 'firefox', 'firefox_profile': profile1})
driver.get("http://example.com")

# Test without proxy server
driver = Remote("http://localhost:5555/wd/hub", desired_capabilities={'browserName': 'firefox', 'firefox_profile': profile2})
driver.get("http://example.com")
```

2. Testing a web application with different browser settings.

```python
# Test with JavaScript enabled
driver = Remote("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub", desired_capabilities={'browserName': 'firefox', 'firefox_profile': profile1})
driver.get("http://example.com")

# Test with JavaScript disabled
driver = Remote("http://localhost:5555/wd/hub", desired_capabilities={'browserName': 'firefox', 'firefox_profile': profile2})
driver.get("http://example.com")
```

### Section 6: Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned how to use Selenium RC with multiple FirefoxProfileTemplates. We covered what a FirefoxProfileTemplate is, why you might want to use multiple ones, and how to use them with Selenium RC. We also provided practical examples of how to use multiple FirefoxProfileTemplates to test web sites and web applications with different configurations.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a semiconductor device, more particularly to a semiconductor device of the size of a semiconducter chip and which includes the; chip and a flexible substrate.
2. Description of the Related Art
First of all, a package known as uBGA ( Ball Grid Array ) manufactured by Tessera Co., will be described below.
A semiconductor device called TCC ( Tessera-Compliant-Chip), which is published in "Nikkei Micro Device, page 98-102, May 1994, and is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,258,330, has a wiring structure very similar to that of a two-layer TCP (Tape Carrier Package). A flexible wiring substrate used for this package is manufactured in processes similar to those employed to make a TCP tape.
The conventional semiconductor device described above is shown in a sectional view in FIG. 1.
A flexible wiring substrate 32 has the same structure as the so-called two-layer TCP-composed Cu-polyimide using no adhesive agent, in which Au is sputtered and plated on the film 31 made of polyimide, and the wiring 33 and the lead 37 are formed by being patterned. Via-holes formed in the film 31 are filled with Ni-plating or solder. Further, Ni or the solder accumulates so that the semispherical bump 34 which is higher than the film 31 is formed. The surface of the bump 34 is coated with thin Au plating. The film 31 is fixed to the semiconductor chip 36 with the elastic adhesive agent 35. The film 31 serves also to seal the semiconductor chip 36. The lead 37 which extends from the film 31 attached to the semiconductor chip 36 is connected to the Al pad or Au pad on the semiconductor chip 36 by means of a thermo-compression bonder using jointly ultrasonic waves. Thus, the lead 37 is made to be gull-wing shaped. This semiconductor device attaches the protection frame 38 to the circumference of the semiconductor chip 36. The inside of the protection frame 38 is filled with resin so that the lead 37 is sealed.
This package has a feature in that it is excellent as KGD ( Known Good Die ) technology. Specifically, since the package is an area array package which is called a uBGA, the package can be subjected to a burn-in test after it is attached to the testing substrate for use in a PGA ( Pin Grid Array ). Thus, this test is carried out easily prior to mounting.
Next, TBGA ( Tape Ball Grid Array ) manufactured by IBM Co., disclosed in Published Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Heisei 1-307236, will be described with reference to FIG. 2, as a conventional semiconductor device.
It has been proved that the adoption of very thin flexible materials for the substrate carrier is effective for solving the problem of the thermal expansion difference between the semiconductor chip and the carrier. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a semiconductor device whose structure is devised considering the above fact. In the semiconductor device of FIG. 2, the insulative material layer 22 made of a material such as teflon is molded on the metal carrier layer 21, and the via-hole 23 is formed in the insulative material layer 22. The metal film 24 is formed on the insulative material layer 22. Then, the necessary circuits are formed on the metalized insulative material layer 22 and the portion where the connection terminals for electronics devices and the like are bonded. In FIG. 2, the semiconductor chip 25 is connected to these circuits. The circuit patterns are formed also in the metal carrier layer 21, and the BGAs composed of the bumps 26 for connection to the mounting substrate are arranged on the metal carrier layer 21. These bumps 26 are formed by soldering or thermo-compression bonding. The semiconductor device in FIG. 2 has a structure that the carrier is composed of a flexible material. Therefore, the carrier has an effect on the connection to the mounting substrate affected by the thermal expansion difference.
In the first conventional semiconductor devise shown in FIG. 1 and described above, the elastic adhesive agent 35 has to be filled in between the flexible wiring substrate 32 and the semiconductor chip 36. In the second conventional semiconductor device shown in FIG. 2 and described above, a carrier which is far larger than the semiconductor chip 25 is used so that a large mounting area is needed.
Furthermore, in any of the semiconductor devices shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a high positional precision is necessary for the connection between the semiconductor chip and the carrier and thus the positioning of both is difficult. The smaller the connection pitch of the connection portion of the semiconductor chip and the carrier is, the more severe the above problem is.

Q:

How does MPOS communicate with stratum server?

I'm setting up MPOS. There are 3 stratum server options: stratum-mining, NOMP, and CoiniumServ. How does MPOS talk with stratum server? AFAIK, MPOS does not speak stratum protocol. Is it through the shared mysql database, where stratum server writes to it (e.g., submitted shared) and MPOS retrieves from.
I'm trying to use a stratum server other than the 3 options above, thus trying to see how to make it compatible with MPOS.

A:

NOMP actually implements MPOS compatibility mode, so you can reference the data format it writes to MySQL: mposCompatibility.js. For example:
Storing shares:
INSERT INTO `shares` SET time = NOW(), rem_host = ?, username = ?, our_result = ?, upstream_result = ?, difficulty = ?, reason = ?, solution = ?

Updating Miner Difficulty:
UPDATE `pool_worker` SET `difficulty` = ' + diff + ' WHERE `username` = ' + connection.escape(workerName)

New Pool Worker:
INSERT INTO `pool_worker` (`account_id`, `username`, `password`) VALUES (?, ?, ?)

They uncovered a burial chamber five times as large as a typical Mayan tomb.. “Most tombs in the Maya world are sort of dug into existing buildings,” Awe says. “Not in this case! In this case, they constructed this tomb and then built the pyramid on top of it.”. The tomb holds the remains of what appears to be an important Mayan ruler, as well as animal bones and artifacts. NAU’s Chrissina Burke will be among those studying the findings.. “The skeleton will actually tell us a lot,” she says. “We’ll be able to identify their biological sex, stature, weight, health markers, potentially where they came from in terms of where they grew up and the food that they consumed.”. The team also found two rare hieroglyphic panels in the pyramid. They’re nearly 1400 years old and they reveal information about the alliances and conflicts of ancient Maya.

Q:

Java AST Parser - get full type of parameter, external project

I'm creating a program (not in Eclipse) where the user inputs a directory of source code, and I parse through that code. When it comes to a method, I want to be able to pull the full parameter type. Example: from protected void onCreate(Bundle), I should be able to pull android.os.Bundle. This is my code to activate the binding:
ASTParser parser = ASTParser.newParser(AST.JLS8);
parser.setUnitName(file.getName());  // name of file (Apple.java)
parser.setEnvironment(new String[] {""}, new String[] {""}, new String[] {"UTF-8"}, true);
parser.setSource(str.toCharArray());  // source code in file Apple.java
parser.setResolveBindings(true);
parser.setBindingsRecovery(true);
parser.setStatementsRecovery(true);

parser.setKind(ASTParser.K_COMPILATION_UNIT);
final CompilationUnit cu = (CompilationUnit) parser.createAST(null);

In the debugger, I'm able to confirm that the binding was activated, but it claims that Bundle's type is {MissingTypeBinding}. I am able to pull the full type when I pass the source code of the project I'm writing (so the parser is able to parse its own source code and pull the type names). So my question is, what am I missing to pull the full type from other source files?

A:

It doesn't know where to look for types in order to create those bindings. Look at the JavaDoc for #setResolveBindings():

Binding information is obtained from the Java model. This means that the compilation unit must be located relative to the Java model. This happens automatically when the source code comes from either setSource(ICompilationUnit) or setSource(IClassFile). When source is supplied by setSource(char[]), the location must be established explicitly by setting an environment using setProject(IJavaProject) or setEnvironment(String[], String[], String[], boolean) and a unit name setUnitName(String). Note that the compiler options that affect doc comment checking may also affect whether any bindings are resolved for nodes within doc comments.

### Lesson:
 Introduction to Type Inference in Java

In this lesson, we will learn about type inference in Java. Type inference is the process of determining the data type of a variable or expression at compile time. This is an important part of programming because it allows the compiler to check for errors such as assigning a value of one type to a variable of another type.

Section 1: What is Type Inference?

Type inference is the process of determining the data type of a variable or expression at compile time. This means that the compiler can determine the data type of a variable without the programmer explicitly declaring it. The Java compiler uses type inference to determine the data type of variables and expressions.

Section 2: How does Type Inference work?

The Java compiler uses type inference to determine the data type of variables and expressions by analyzing the context in which they are used. For example, if a variable is assigned a value of a certain data type, the compiler can infer that the variable is of that data type. The compiler also uses type inference to determine the data type of parameters in methods.

Section 3: Examples of Type Inference

Let's look at some examples of type inference in action.

Example 1:
```
int x = 5;
double y = x;
```
In this example, the compiler infers that `x` is of type `int` and assigns `y` the type `double`.

Example 2:
```
void foo(String s) {
    System.out.println(s);
}
```
In this example, the compiler infers that `s` is of type `String` and assigns `s` the type `String`.

Section 4: Practice Problems

1. What is type inference in Java?
2. How does the Java compiler use type inference to determine the data type of variables and expressions?
3. Can you give an example of type inference in action?

Solutions:
1. Type inference is the process of determining the data type of a variable or expression at compile time.
2. The Java compiler uses type inference to determine the data type of variables and expressions by analyzing the context in which they are used.
3. Example: `int x = 5; double y = x;` In this example, the compiler infers that `x` is of type `int` and assigns `y` the type `double`.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned about type inference in Java. We learned that type inference is the process of determining the data type of a variable or expression at compile time. We also learned that the Java compiler uses type inference to determine the data type of variables and expressions by analyzing the context in which they are used. Finally, we practiced some examples of type inference in action.

Bicycles have been used as a means of recreation and transportation for many years. With the advent of the fuel crisis in the 1970""s and the rise in overall health consciousness in society, bicycling recently gained even greater popularity. Finally, just recently, mountain biking has become the most popular form of bicycling with sales of mountain bikes surpassing those of ordinary road bikes.
With the increase in the popularity of mountain biking, bicycle developers have been faced with issues that were of little or no concern when most bicycle riders road on the street. Foremost of these issues is the issue of shock absorption devices for a bicycle. Mountain bikers quickly learned that a rough trail could equate to a sore body without proper suspension for the bicycle.
Hence, there have been many recent developments of shock absorbers for bicycles. These developments have tended to consist of a variety of linear shock absorbers placed at various locations on a bicycle frame to provide for front and rear shock absorption. While satisfactory results have been obtained, unfortunately there have been problems associated with traditional shock absorbers for bicycles. Specifically, linear shock absorbers tend to be expensive, high maintenance devices that tend to wear out long before most of the other bicycle parts. Owners have been forced to either buy a new bicycle or replace the shock absorbers, both of which are very costly.
Torsion springs are also well known devices. Torsion springs are very low maintenance, inexpensive, and tend to have a long life that often equals or surpasses that of the equipment on which they are being used. Torsion spring prior use has included many applications, such as: exercise equipment, military equipment, automobiles and trucks.
Dip Brazing
Dip brazing is a method of joining together metals by dipping the work into a hot, molten salt bath and using a filler metal with a melting point above 800 deg. F. but lower than that of the metals to be joined. Dip brazing is well known in the prior art. Currently, hollow tubular bicycle frames are made by extruding individual frame sections. These frame sections can then be bent to a desired shape, coped and individually welded together. Some of the major disadvantages to making bicycle frames in this manner are: 1) the manufacturer is limited by the amount and type of bending and coping that he is able to do to the extruded frame sections, and 2) the extra time it takes to align and weld each frame member and frame.
Prior Art Drop Protectors/Derailleur Hangers
The bicycle rear drop is that portion of the bicycle frame to which the rear wheel attaches. It is usually fused to the rear portion of the bicycle frame. Typically, the derailleur hanger is rigidly attached to the bicycle drop. The bicycle drop is subject to tremendous amounts of stresses and forces. Because the drop is fused to the rear portion of the bicycle, the entire rear portion of the frame would need to be replaced if the drop is damaged.
In the prior art, drop protectors and replaceable hangers are currently available. However, current drop protectors and hangers only protect the outside of the bicycle drop. Moreover, current drop protectors are screwed into the side of the drop, requiring significant time, effort and tools to replace. In addition, current drop protectors do not create a clamping action on the drop when the rear wheel axle is tightened to the rear drop.
What is needed is a shock absorption device for a bicycle that is low maintenance, inexpensive and has a long life.
The present invention provides a bicycle with a torsional shock absorber comprised of a torsion spring assembly. The elements of the torsion spring assembly include: housing, a shaft positioned within the housing, a rubbery substance positioned between the interior surface of the housing and the outer surface of the shaft. The torsional shock absorber is mounted on the bicycle such that shock forces are converted into rotational forces tending to rotate the shaft within the housing. These rotational forces are resisted by the spring force created by the rubbery substance within the torsion spring assembly; thereby absorbing the shock forces. In a preferred embodiment, the rubbery substance is bonded to the interior surface of the housing and the outer surface of the shaft. In a preferred embodiment, the front and rear portions of the bicycle frame pivot about the pedal spindle axis. Also, in a preferred embodiment, the housing of the torsion spring assembly is rigidly connected to the front portion of the bicycle frame in-between the top tube and middle brace and just in front of the seat tube. The rear portion of the bicycle frame is pivotally connected to two torsion arms rigidly connected to the shaft.

SH3TC2

SH3 domain and tetratricopeptide repeats-containing protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SH3TC2 gene. It is believed to be expressed in the Schwann cells that wrap the myelin sheath around nerves.

Function

This gene encodes a protein with two N-terminal Src homology 3 (SH3) domains and 10 tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motifs, and is a member of a small gene family. The gene product has been proposed to be an adapter or docking molecule.

The mouse version (orthologue) of SH3TC2 is believed to be expressed in Schwann cells. The tagged protein localizes to the plasma membrane and to the perinuclear endocytic recycling compartment. Mice lacking Sh3tc2 have an abnormal organization of the node of Ranvier consistent with the idea that the protein might have a role in myelination or in axon – glial cell interactions.

Clinical significance

Mutations in this gene result in autosomal recessive Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4C, a childhood-onset neurodegenerative disease characterized by demyelination of motor and sensory neurons.

A gene is a segment of DNA that contains the instructions for making a specific protein. A protein is a large, complex molecule made up of amino acids that carries out various functions in the body.

### Section 2: Structure and Function of Genes and Proteins

Genes are located on chromosomes and are transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which is then translated into proteins by ribosomes. The sequence of nucleotides in the gene determines the order of amino acids in the protein. Proteins can be classified into four levels of structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary. The primary structure refers to the linear sequence of amino acids, while the secondary structure refers to the local folding of the polypeptide chain. The tertiary structure refers to the overall three-dimensional shape of the protein, and the quaternary structure refers to the arrangement of multiple polypeptide chains in a protein complex.

### Section 3: Roles of Genes and Proteins in the Body

Genes and proteins play essential roles in various biological processes, including DNA replication, protein synthesis, and cellular communication. For example, DNA replication is facilitated by proteins such as DNA polymerase, which adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand. Protein synthesis involves the translation of mRNA into proteins by ribosomes, which are composed of proteins themselves. Cellular communication is mediated by proteins such as hormones and neurotransmitters, which transmit signals between cells.

Q:

myisam place table-lock on table even when dealing with 'select' query?

i am reading the book High Performance MySQL, it mentions:
performing one query per table uses table locks more efficiently: the queries
will lock the tables invididually and relatively briefly, instead of locking
them all for a longer time.

MyISAM places table-lock even when selecting something? can someone explain a little bit?

A:

MyISAM has different kinds of locks. A SELECT operation places a READ LOCK on the table. There can be multiple active read locks at any given time, as long as there are no active WRITE LOCKS. Operations that modify the table, eg. INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE or ALTER TABLE place a WRITE LOCK on the table. Write lock can only be placed on a table when there are no active read locks; If there are active read locks, MyISAM queues the write lock to be activated as soon as all active read locks are expired.
Likewise when there's an active write lock, attempting to place a read lock on a table will queue the lock (and the associated query) until write locks have expired on the table.
Ultimately this all means that:

You can have any number of active read locks (also called shared locks)
You can only have one active write lock (also called an exclusive lock)

For more information see: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/internal-locking.html

textbook:
Lesson: Understanding Table Locks in MySQL

### Overview

In this lesson, we will learn about table locks in MySQL and how they affect the performance of our queries. We will cover the following topics:

1. What are table locks?
2. Types of table locks
3. How table locks affect query performance
4. Best practices for using table locks

### What are table locks?

Table locks are a mechanism used by database systems to prevent multiple users from modifying the same data at the same time. When a user performs a query that modifies data, the database system places a lock on the affected table(s) to prevent other users from modifying the same data until the lock is released.

### Types of table locks

There are two types of table locks: read locks and write locks.

1. Read locks: These locks allow multiple users to read data from a table simultaneously. They do not prevent other users from modifying the data.

2. Write locks: These locks prevent other users from modifying data while a query is being executed. Write locks are usually placed on tables when performing operations like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE or ALTER TABLE.

### How table locks affect query performance

Table locks can significantly impact the performance of your queries, especially if you have a large number of concurrent users. The longer the lock is held, the longer other users must wait to access the same data. This can lead to slower response times and reduced throughput.

### Best practices for using table locks

To minimize the impact of table locks on query performance, follow these best practices:

1. Use temporary tables: Instead of modifying the original table, create a temporary table and perform your modifications there. This way, you avoid placing a lock on the original table and can speed up your queries.

2. Avoid using SELECT ... FOR UPDATE: This syntax places a write lock on the selected rows, which can block other users from modifying the same data. Instead, use a separate transaction to modify the data.

3. Optimize your queries: Use indexes and other optimization techniques to reduce the amount of data that needs to be locked. This can help reduce the impact of table locks on query performance.

4. Use caching: If you have a large number of concurrent users, consider implementing a caching layer to reduce the number of queries that need to be executed directly against the database. This can help reduce the impact of table locks on query performance.

### Conclusion

Table locks are an important mechanism for ensuring data consistency in a database system. However, they can also have a significant impact on query performance, especially in systems with a large number of concurrent users. By following the best practices outlined above, you can minimize the impact of table locks on your queries and ensure that your application runs smoothly and efficiently.
