React Native 支持多种在 ios 模拟器上的快捷键,下面将会详细介绍,若要启动它们,打开
Connect Hardware Keyboard 选项开启。
Hardware菜单中选择"Shake Gesture"选项来调出开发者菜单,另外,如果是在 iOS 模拟器中运行,还可以按下
⌘ + D 快捷键,Android 模拟器对应的则是
⌘ + M。当然,如果是 Android,您还可以通过 adb 工具运行命令
adb shell input keyevent 82来打开开发者菜单(82 是菜单代码)。
注:在非开发调试版本(release/production builds)中开发者菜单会被关闭。
刷新 JavaScript
在 React Native 开发中,每次改动后您再也不需要等待漫长的重编译,通过
reloading javascripts(重新加载js)将可以简单快速的查看界面/功能变化,具体的操作就是在开发菜单中点击"Reload"选项。也可以在 iOS 模拟器中按下
⌘ + R ,Android 模拟器上对应的则是按两下
You can speed up your development times by having your app reload automatically any time your code changes. Automatic reloading can be enabled by selecting "Enable Live Reload" from the Developer Menu.
You may even go a step further and keep your app running as new versions of your files are injected into the JavaScript bundle automatically by enabling Hot Reloading from the Developer Menu. This will allow you to persist the app's state through reloads.
There are some instances where hot reloading cannot be implemented perfectly. If you run into any issues, use a full reload to reset your app.
You will need to rebuild your app for changes to take effect in certain situations:
- You have added new resources to your native app's bundle, such as an image in
Images.xcassetson iOS or the
res/drawablefolder on Android.
- You have modified native code (Objective-C/Swift on iOS or Java/C++ on Android).
In-app Errors and Warnings
Errors and warnings are displayed inside your app in development builds.
In-app errors are displayed in a full screen alert with a red background inside your app. This screen is known as a RedBox. You can use
console.error() to manually trigger one.
Warnings will be displayed on screen with a yellow background. These alerts are known as YellowBoxes. Click on the alerts to show more information or to dismiss them.
As with a RedBox, you can use
console.warn() to trigger a YellowBox.
YellowBoxes can be disabled during development by using
console.disableYellowBox = true;. Specific warnings can be ignored programmatically by setting an array of prefixes that should be ignored:
import {YellowBox} from 'react-native';
YellowBox.ignoreWarnings(['Warning: ...']);
In CI/Xcode, YellowBoxes can also be disabled by setting the
IS_TESTING environment variable.
RedBoxes and YellowBoxes are automatically disabled in release (production) builds.
Chrome Developer Tools
To debug the JavaScript code in Chrome, select "Debug JS Remotely" from the Developer Menu. This will open a new tab at http://localhost:8081/debugger-ui.
Tools → Developer Tools from the Chrome Menu to open the Developer Tools. You may also access the DevTools using keyboard shortcuts (
⌘⌥I on macOS,
I on Windows). You may also want to enable Pause On Caught Exceptions for a better debugging experience.
Note: the React Developer Tools Chrome extension does not work with React Native, but you can use its standalone version instead. Read this section to learn how.
Debugging using a custom JavaScript debugger
To use a custom JavaScript debugger in place of Chrome Developer Tools, set the
REACT_DEBUGGER environment variable to a command that will start your custom debugger. You can then select "Debug JS Remotely" from the Developer Menu to start debugging.
The debugger will receive a list of all project roots, separated by a space. For example, if you set
REACT_DEBUGGER="node /path/to/launchDebugger.js --port 2345 --type ReactNative", then the command
node /path/to/launchDebugger.js --port 2345 --type ReactNative /path/to/reactNative/app will be used to start your debugger.
Custom debugger commands executed this way should be short-lived processes, and they shouldn't produce more than 200 kilobytes of output.
React Developer Tools
You can use the standalone version of React Developer Tools to debug the React component hierarchy. To use it, install the
react-devtools package globally:
npm install -g react-devtools
Now run
react-devtools from the terminal to launch the standalone DevTools app:
It should connect to your simulator within a few seconds.
Note: if you prefer to avoid global installations, you can add
react-devtoolsas a project dependency. Add the
react-devtoolspackage to your project using
npm install --save-dev react-devtools, then add
"react-devtools": "react-devtools"to the
scriptssection in your
package.json, and then run
npm run react-devtoolsfrom your project folder to open the DevTools.
Integration with React Native Inspector
Open the in-app developer menu and choose "Show Inspector". It will bring up an overlay that lets you tap on any UI element and see information about it:
However, when
react-devtools is running, Inspector will enter a special collapsed mode, and instead use the DevTools as primary UI. In this mode, clicking on something in the simulator will bring up the relevant components in the DevTools:
You can choose "Hide Inspector" in the same menu to exit this mode.
Inspecting Component Instances
First, follow the instructions for debugging in Chrome to open the Chrome console.
Make sure that the dropdown in the top left corner of the Chrome console says
debuggerWorker.js. This step is essential.
Then select a React component in React DevTools. There is a search box at the top that helps you find one by name. As soon as you select it, it will be available as
$r in the Chrome console, letting you inspect its props, state, and instance properties.
Performance Monitor
You can enable a performance overlay to help you debug performance problems by selecting "Perf Monitor" in the Developer Menu.
Debugging in Ejected Apps
Accessing console logs
You can display the console logs for an iOS or Android app by using the following commands in a terminal while the app is running:
$ react-native log-ios
$ react-native log-android
You may also access these through
Debug → Open System Log... in the iOS Simulator or by running
adb logcat *:S ReactNative:V ReactNativeJS:V in a terminal while an Android app is running on a device or emulator.
If you're using Create React Native App, console logs already appear in the same terminal output as the packager.
Debugging on a device with Chrome Developer Tools
If you're using Create React Native App, this is configured for you already.
On iOS devices, open the file
RCTWebSocketExecutor.m and change "localhost" to the IP address of your computer, then select "Debug JS Remotely" from the Developer Menu.
On Android 5.0+ devices connected via USB, you can use the
adb command line tool to setup port forwarding from the device to your computer:
adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081
Alternatively, select "Dev Settings" from the Developer Menu, then update the "Debug server host for device" setting to match the IP address of your computer.
If you run into any issues, it may be possible that one of your Chrome extensions is interacting in unexpected ways with the debugger. Try disabling all of your extensions and re-enabling them one-by-one until you find the problematic extension.
Stetho on AndroidDebugging with
Follow this guide to enable Stetho for Debug mode:
android/app/build.gradle, add these lines in the
debugCompile 'com.facebook.stetho:stetho:1.5.0' debugCompile 'com.facebook.stetho:stetho-okhttp3:1.5.0'
The above will configure Stetho v1.5.0. You can check at http://facebook.github.io/stetho/ if a newer version is available.
Create the following Java classes to wrap the Stetho call, one for release and one for debug:
// android/app/src/release/java/com/{yourAppName}/StethoWrapper.java public class StethoWrapper { public static void initialize(Context context) { // NO_OP } public static void addInterceptor() { // NO_OP } }
// android/app/src/debug/java/com/{yourAppName}/StethoWrapper.java public class StethoWrapper { public static void initialize(Context context) { Stetho.initializeWithDefaults(context); } public static void addInterceptor() { OkHttpClient client = OkHttpClientProvider.getOkHttpClient() .newBuilder() .addNetworkInterceptor(new StethoInterceptor()) .build(); OkHttpClientProvider.replaceOkHttpClient(client); } }
android/app/src/main/java/com/{yourAppName}/MainApplication.javaand replace the original
public void onCreate() {
if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) {
SoLoader.init(this, /* native exopackage */ false);
Open the project in Android Studio and resolve any dependency issues. The IDE should guide you through this steps after hovering your pointer over the red lines.
react-native run-android.
In a new Chrome tab, open:
chrome://inspect, then click on the 'Inspect device' item next to "Powered by Stetho".
Debugging native code
When working with native code, such as when writing native modules, you can launch the app from Android Studio or Xcode and take advantage of the native debugging features (setting up breakpoints, etc.) as you would in case of building a standard native app.

Actor Kelsey Grammer and his ex-wife Camille have finally reached a settlement in their ongoing divorce case.
The "Frasier" star left Camille in 2010 after meeting and falling in love with Kayte Walsh, and the former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" regular filed legal papers to end their 13-year union that July.
The marriage was officially declared over on February 10, 2011, allowing the TV star to wed his new partner days later, but earlier this month Camille revealed the former couple had yet to finalize every aspect of its legal split.
During an appearance on "Anderson Live," she said, "We are going to meet before a judge again very soon, so hopefully this time it will be over," before pleading with Grammer, "Release me! Set me free!"
Now the 44 year old's Christmas wish has come true – both parties have since signed off on a property and custody agreement regarding their two children, Mason, 11, and Jude, eight.
According to TMZ.com, Camille won her fight to ban the actor from living in their former Los Angeles mansion with his new wife and baby – the house must now be leased or sold off.

These Bros decided to take a Ferrari California on a test drive in Maranello back in May, because Bro, Ferrari, Bro. Unfortunately, just because you can drive a Ferrari, doesn't mean you know how to drive a Ferrari. Now watch them promptly throw it into a wall.
Oh, and did I mention this was on public roads?
The Ferrari California might be the "poor man's Ferrari," but it's still crazy expensive, and it's still got a 560 horsepower twin-turbo V8. That much power is not to be taken lightly, and you are not meant to mash the pedal like a total Bro just because you happened to round a random corner.
But on the other hand, a lot of people don't like the look of the California. Maybe they think this better?

In Theaters: "Red State"
"This isn't funny any more!" one of the boys yells, over and over again, about twenty minutes into Kevin Smith's Red State. "This isn't funny any more!" He's talking about the events on screen, of course, which have seen a rather depressing online sex rendezvous turn into a drugged kidnapping. But it's also a none-too-subtle nod to the filmmaker, a specialist of slacker comedy who has taken an unexpected and surprisingly effective turn towards darker and more sinister subject matter.
It begins as the story of three teenagers (Michael Angarano, Nicholas Braun, and Kyle Gallner) from a small Midwestern town in the proximity of the Cooper family, an evangelical sect in the Phelps mold that only seems to venture out of their church/compound to for vile public demonstrations, usually at funerals. The boys are aware of the Coopers, but their primary interests lie elsewhere: namely, the pursuit of anonymous sex, which one promises can be had with an anonymous woman he's connected with online via a Grindr-style app. They make a date. It doesn't go as planned.
The dirty-talking set-up isn't too far removed from Smith's usual style—he's toying with our expectations, palming quarters while entertaining us with patter. What is surprising about Smith's screenplay is how tightly wound the storytelling is. There's a confidence and a momentum to the progression of the events, which echo not only the Phelps family but Ruby Ridge and Waco; the ground he's covering sounds far-flung, but the narrative pushes forward with such precision that there's an inevitability to the way the events unfold. Always an entertaining if undisciplined writer, his scripts prone to shamble off on inexplicable side roads, Smith has penned (by a long shot) his leanest screenplay to date.
Thankfully, the execution matches the conception. The director has long been an object of derision for the flat, utilitarian look of his pictures, but visual pyrotechnics were never much called for in his stories, which were primarily composed of static dialogue scenes. Freed at last to get inventive, longtime cinematographer David Klein gives the picture a jittery, jagged energy; his washed-out color palate is stark, the handheld camerawork jarring (particularly in a tense foot chase through the Cooper home), the overall visual strategy frequently striking. Red State doesn't sound like a Smith picture; it doesn't look like one either. (Smith's editing, which was frequently lacking in previous efforts, has also grown by leaps and bounds his time around.)
Some, including the director himself, have dubbed Red State a horror movie, but it's surprisingly light on gore, or even the kind of garden-variety scares that are the currency of more generic shockers like Insidious and Vanishing on 7th Street. It is more of an unsettling movie, a disturbing one, in which the responsibility for jangling the audience is less on the sound designer and his library of cat shrieks, and more on the filmmaker's ability to create tension and his actors' skill at getting under our skin. To that end, not enough can be said about Michael Parks, the terrific character actor (and, more recently, favorite of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez) who plays Abin Cooper, the Fred Phelp-esque patriarch of the fundamentalist family. His voice a gravelly growl, his eyes black as night, his delivery deceptively laid-back, Parks delivers a long, riveting, and thoroughly creepy sermon early on that masterfully shifts the picture's tone; he's just talking, but there's evil in his bones ("God doesn't love you… 'less you fear him"). He doesn't raise his voice—he doesn't have to. He waits until the end to go for broke, and when he does, it's tremendous. John Goodman, as a good-hearted but petrified ATF agent, is terrific as well—but then again, there's not a bad performance in the movie, not really. Kerry Bishé (so good last year in Ed Burns's Nice Guy Johnny), Stephen Root, and newly minted Oscar winner Melissa Leo all turn up; all inhabit their roles with believability and immediacy.
Red State has its flaws; the opening sequences are a bit uncertain, some of the exposition is clunky, and—just once or twice—you wish Smith could resist the cheap laugh (I'm thinking specifically of the slapstick moment with Root). This isn't to say that everything should be dead serious; the byplay between Goodman and Kevin Pollak is funny, but rooted in a situational honesty. That moment with Root is the inclusion of a filmmaker less mature than Smith appears to be turning into.
As much as this reviewer would like to deal with Red State purely on its own terms, it doesn't come to us in a vacuum; reviewing a new Kevin Smith film without at least broaching the subject of his odd jihad against movie critics is failing to acknowledge the elephant in the room. I'll merely restate my position: that his blasting of hard-working movie scribes and refusal to screen his work for them is a childish move, taken in defense of a throwaway movie that he didn't even write, and certainly not a position he was taking when critics were championing—and determining the fate—of films like Clerks and Chasing Amy. But to that I'll add that it's also a bafflingly short-sighted position, and not just because pissing in the face of critics will most certainly ensure a less-than-objective reception for your next effort (which is, for whatever it's worth, about the only explanation I can come up with for the mixed-to-hostile notices that greeted the picture at Sundance). More than that, it seems self-defeating to prevent critics from praising and pushing a low-budget film that could probably use the promotional help—and which, frankly, marks a real milestone for the filmmaker. Kevin Smith may not care what I have to say, and may be inexplicably trying to keep me from saying it, but here goes: Red State is sturdy, unnerving, and kind of brilliant.
"Red State" is currently touring as a premium-priced road-show presentation before its wide release in October (read more about that here.) Ticket information available here.

text: Hello, I use a utility called pconsole. Freshmeat describes it in this way: "pconsole is a parallel console tool, and is meant as an interactive administrative shell tool for clusters. It allows you to connect to each node of your cluster simultaneously, and you can type your administrative commands in a specialized window that 'multiplies' the input to each of the connections you have opened." The command "pconsole.sh node1 node2 node3" would open four xterms, one for each node and another that can will redirect what you type to all of them at once. Each xterm works like a regular xterm also. The default setting is to use a tiny font, but that can be changed by control right-clicking on the window or editing the script. Most window managers have a window list tool that makes it pretty easy to select the xterm you want (they have names like user at node: dir). This doesn't address the ability to raise a specific xterm from the command line, but KDE (that is what I am using) may allow you to script that through dcop. I have not noticed any scalability problems, but I usually only have 43 xterms running off a dual 1.2GHz Athlon with 2GB RAM. At most I have used two instances of pconsole, each with 43 xterms. Unfortunately the web site seems to be down right now. Mandrake includes it in their distribution though, or I could send you the 15k rpm. pconsole is GPLed, but I have never seen the source (pconsole.sh is a frontend to pconsole). Also, by default pconsole uses ssh and can only be run by root. This can be changed. I hope this helps, Andrew Aleksey Tsalolikhin wrote: > On Mon, 2 Oct 2000, Robert G.

Rodgers: We can end Man City run
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers believes his side are capable of ending Manchester City's 100 per cent home league record this season.
The Premier League leaders head to the Etihad Stadium for the evening clash on Boxing Day to face a third-placed City side who have won all eight of their home games, scoring 35 goals in the process.
"We know it is a tough place to go. This season, Manchester City have won every one of their games at home but we've won every one at home bar one," said Rodgers.
"They obviously have confidence at home and they score goals but they concede goals.
"You normally lose it (a 100 per cent record) at some stage of the season, it will depend on a team going there and having the bravery to play and get that bit of luck when you need it.
"In the two games against City last season, we were the better side and we made mistakes that cost us and we ended up drawing the two games.
"They will know as well we are a good side and arrive with confidence high.
"We understand it will be a really tough game but we are looking forward to it.
"If you play to your A game, it may be difficult for opponents and that is what we concentrate on – we can be the team that goes there and gets the first result."
Rodgers admits he is currently short on numbers and is looking at drafting in youth and reserve players to bolster his first-team squad over the busy festive period.
"Man City's squad is one which has been built to win every trophy in the world, not just the Premier League," he said.
"We understand the size of the task but our team at the moment has shown to be the best team over 17 games.
"You have to respect the opponent and understand they have some outstanding players but recognise the talents of your own group.
"You will probably learn more about the squad (over the coming days).
"I know what the team can do but we have a number of injuries, however, we will go into the game with the same charisma and aggression to work.
"It is an opportunity for us in the game but also an opportunity for me to bring in youth team and reserve team players – that is why you have an academy."

(CNN) -- Bob Costas and Piers Morgan couldn't agree more on one thing: Something has to be done about the pervasive gun culture in the United States.
And that problem, Costas said, becomes even more of an issue when you pair it with the culture of the National Football League, which has seen its share of tragic events, including the recent Jovan Belcher murder-suicide.
NBC sportscaster Costas sat down with CNN's Piers Morgan on Monday night to discuss the growing debate over gun control. Both have faced criticism after taking on the issue -- Costas during a recent halftime show of a "Sunday Night Football" game and Morgan on Twitter.
Costas said the issue is a growing one, especially for NFL players, many of whom reportedly say they carry a weapon for security or some of whom have been arrested.
So does Costas think that Belcher's suicide after killing the mother of his child means the league is at a breaking point?
"I don't know if it approaches crisis; perhaps it does, but it's at a crossroads because there's an issue about the fundamental nature of the game. It's so popular and so profitable, but it takes a tremendous toll on many of those who play it. Not just body, but as we're now learning, mind and emotions," Costas said on "Piers Morgan Tonight."
"And it's a legitimate question to ask whether, for some players at least, the toll that the game takes, brain trauma, medications that they may take, enhance performance or deal with pain, all those things. The culture of the league increases the likelihood of abhorrent behavior. It's possible."
Costas said regardless of what side of the gun debate you fall on, there is a simple rule that cannot be debated.
"It is infinitely more likely that something bad will happen if you're armed than something good will happen," he told Morgan.
Shortly before the taping of the Costas-Morgan interview, a shooting occurred not far from the CNN headquarters in New York. It's an example, Morgan said, of how pervasive guns are and also how numb Americans have become to a dangerous issue.
Costas said the real problem is the way guns have of escalating a situation.
His case in point: George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.
Putting aside the facts of the case or race concerns, Costas asked one simple question.
"What does common sense tell you about the likelihood of that confrontation ever taking place in the first place if George Zimmerman was not carrying a gun?
It is a comment you might not have expected months ago from Costas. He said he never intended to create a pulpit of any kind but he felt he had to say something following Belcher's suicide.
And while critics argued a halftime show wasn't the time or the place for the debate, Costas said he couldn't remain quiet. The comments that followed mostly trashed Costas for speaking out.
"It wasn't my intent to become a spokesperson in any way for this issue," Costas told Morgan. "But if no matter how imperfectly I may have done it a week ago Sunday, if this has sparked a conversation and in some small way influenced people's behavior, so much the better."
It was not lost on him that many people took him to task for only speaking out about guns. And on Monday night, Costas addressed those critics.
"Jovan Belcher had eight guns. And for those who, by the way, say what if (his girlfriend) Kasandra Perkins had a gun; there were guns in that house," he said. "She'd have to have it holstered like she's Wild Bill Hickok in the old West to have it at the ready when Jovan Belcher came barging through the door."
But comments on Twitter kept flying: What if it were a stabbing? What if it were drunken driving? Or what about the situation with the Dallas Cowboys, with Josh Brent being arrested on suspicion of intoxication manslaughter after being in a crash that killed teammate Jerry Brown Jr.
"It's tough to tangentially link it to what happened with Jovan Belcher, but obviously it's a case of bad judgment," Costas said.
Costas recalled a story of former Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy asking 80 players at training camp how many had guns and 65 raising their hands.
"Even if those guns were legally obtained, what do you think over time would be the ratio between unintended and tragic consequences, including accidents, but also including times when people just snapped and impulse got in the way, anger got in the way?" Costas said. "The ratio of that as against the times that the gun would be used for a good outcome for legitimate self-defense. It's common sense to see where that's going to wind up."
Morgan said during his debates on Twitter he had constantly been asked about the times that guns were helpful. But Morgan said he found the pro-gun lobbyist debate to be harmful for the country.
"A certain type of pro-gun lobbyist twists, I believe, this debate, in a very unhealthy way," Morgan said. "They always say it's never the gun, it's always the person, with a clear indication that the people are evil and they perpetrate evil with guns."
Morgan rattled off three tragic stories in a four-day period:
"Dec. 5, a 4-year-old boy accidentally shot and killed his younger brother in Minneapolis with his father's handgun in the home. Dec. 6, a 7-year-old finds his grandfather's gun -- this is in Philadelphia -- and shoots his sister," Morgan said. "Dec. 9, a 7-year-old boy (is) shot dead when his father's handgun went off in a parking lot of a Western Pennsylvania gun store."
Costas said those are exactly the circumstances he thinks we need to try and avoid. He noted there are many instances of legitimate self-defense. But in his opinion, they don't outweigh "how many bad things happen because of an attitude toward guns in this country."
"That's what I was trying to get at on that Sunday night. And my mistake was, and I've acknowledged this, normally, we have about 2½ minutes. That's tight enough. Here we had only 90 seconds," Costas said.
"I alluded in a general way to the culture of football but didn't have time to enumerate it. But those who think that I was reluctant to hold the NFL to account are not familiar with my work. Because almost alone among network sports broadcasters, I have made many points about the culture of the NFL, asked many questions of (NFL Commissioner) Roger Goodell and NFL officials, and continue to -- plan to do so in the future.
"Are drugs involved, alcohol involved? Yes, all those things. But guns are among them. It seems that some people want it to be about everything and anything but guns. I don't think it's only about guns, but I think that guns, even if legally obtained, people's attitudes toward guns are definitely a part of this problem."
Costas said he understands why many people feel the need to have a gun, whether it is for safety in their home or elsewhere.
"Over the course of a year, how often do you think that would lead to tragedy and how often do you think it would lead to safety? That's my question."

With the 1st pick of the 9th Round (257th overall), the Astros select 5'10" 190lb Brian Holberton, a Junior left-handed hitting C from North Carolina.
Holberton was used by the Tar Heels as a utility man, hitting .309/.422/.505 with 10 HR and 52 RBI in 220 AB this season. UNC is ranked #1 in NCAA Division I this season, and coach Mike Fox said of Holberton, "He's been the key to our team. That kid'll play anywhere, hit anywhere in the lineup. He's having a sensational year."
He also played in Minute Maid Park earlier this year with fellow Astros draftee Kent Emanuel, going 4x7 with 2 RBI in the three games of the Astros Foundation College Classic.
His bio with North Carolina is over here, and Perfect Game USA profiled him over here. There's a scouting video for him here.

From the Desktop: T is for twm and Tracking Originality
Recycling old texts
The Web is an interesting medium for the communication of information. At no time in our planet's history has so much information been made available to so many people. Truly a miracle of modern technology, right?
I tend to wonder sometimes how much of this information is original and how much is "borrowed" from some other source.
"There are no new ideas," one of my college roommates told me. This was about the only interesting thing he had to say, since he was a lot of flash and little substance, and it stuck with me, even after he drove us into the side of a house later in my freshman year.
Last year I went to a Birds of a Feather session for technical writers at the New York LinuxWorld Expo. To my amazement, I was made to listen to a bunch of people at this session bemoan the fact that there wasn't more open source publishing in the world.
I had seen open source publishing in action before, of course, on various projects such as the Linux Documentation Project, and other projects within the Sourceforge Web repository. But these people were talking about something new--applying open source policies to publications already copyrighted.
Needless to say, I was pretty upset with them.
And I then found myself in a sudden wash of guilt. Was I being a hypocrite for espousing the merits of open source on one hand, and yet being completely self-righteous about keeping my own works protected?
Fortunately, guilt is not something I am accustomed to feeling for any great length of time, and I rejected this notion out of hand.
Copyright may be the root of all evil in some open source advocates' minds, but a lot of people still use it as the contract under which they publish their works. And if someone creates something with a copyright, then this should be respected as absolute.
Unless they go into an open source project knowing their work is going to be modified and (ideally) improved upon, writers should not have to worry about someone coming along and messing up or borrowing their work.
This thought has been with me for a while now, and it recently bubbled up to the surface when I went looking for the creator of this week's window manager, twm. This would be one Tom LaStrange (who is one tough man to find, by the way).
I hit my usual search engine haunts when I went looking for a contact for Mr. LaStrange, and right away I noticed something very interesting. In several different Web pages, the exact same passage was used to describe twm: "...TWM (the Tab Window Manager, aka Tom's Window Manager, after Tom LaStrange, the main author"
I counted no less than 16 instances of this passage out there on the Web on the day I looked. This column will likely make it 17.
Most of these instances were on private, non-copyrighted Web sites, made by people who were describing different window managers for X. No big deal, right? What really tickled me was that essentially the same passage shows up in two books from Macmillan Publishing, Red Hat Linux Unleashed and UNIX Unleashed.
Am I auditioning for the copyright police? Not at all. This is not like someone grabbed the script to Episode II of Star Wars and posted it on the Web for all to see. The sharing of this passage of text is not even a blip on the scheme of bad karma.
But while it does little harm to whomever the original author of this passage was, I think it sort of cheapens the quality of information being disseminated on the Internet. There is a lack of originality born from this kind of thing that runs completely counter to what open source is really about: the cumulative effect of having the original ideas of the many applied to a single project.
There may be no new ideas but there should always be an effort to find new ways to communicate any old idea.

ONE WOMANS VIEW: Parachute opens
Contributing writer
Somebody has said that minds are like parachutes; they only function when open. In order to make intelligent life choices, it is sometimes necessary to lay aside old prejudices and preconceived opinions.
I recently made such a choice with mixed feelings and hit pay dirt.
I used to think people who joined health clubs and fitness centers were either gung-ho young jocks or rich bums throwing money away for exercise they could get free by taking a walk or riding a bicycle around town. I now publicly admit (and this is not quite a historic first) that I was wrong.
Last summer in Tampa, David and Catarina Rziha opened a fitness center, which has become quite popular in the community. With my limited budget and preconceived notions mentioned above, the place was open for several months before I gave any serious consideration to joining.
However, I received some cash from friends at Christmastime and decided to spend part of it to join the center for January and February, when it would be too cold for outdoor exercise.
Of course, I have known for years that I feel better and have better control of my diabetes when I get some exercise. Often I have resolved to walk more. A few months ago I acquired a bicycle, the one form of exercise I have always truly enjoyed.
However, you would be amazed at the number of excuses I can find for not getting out and taking a walk or riding my bike. It's too cold today; it's too hot today; it's too windy today; there are things I need to do in the house; I just don't have the time right now.
Membership in the fitness center leaves me with no excuse. The temperature is kept at a comfortable level. Wind does not penetrate the building. The facility is open seven days a week, 24 hours a day. One Sunday when my day was filled with other obligations, I exercised from 10:30 to 11:30 in the evening.
The center is well equipped with machines that do not cater only to accomplished athletes. The treadmill I use can be set as slow as you choose. The hand weights start at 3 pounds, and the weight machine starts at 10.
Of course, jocks who wish to impress their girlfriends by lifting 110 pounds or more are welcome to do that too, but I don't suppose I will ever get above 10.
The benefits of this type of exercise are already evident. My blood sugars have lowered significantly. Although they are often still higher than I'd like, the improvement in only a couple of weeks is marked. The physical therapist assures me that working with the weights will also strengthen the muscles around my fake knee.
My other therapist tells me that such strength training is good for the brain, possibly staving off dementia. Believe me, I need all the help in that department I can get.
My friend and workout partner tells me it has increased her lung capacity, so that she does not get as short of breath as she used to. I suppose if a person spends enough time there, it could even take off a few pounds. I'm not really counting on that.
So far, believe it or not, I actually enjoy my time at the fitness center. Televisions are conveniently placed for watching while I work out. I have a friend who sometimes meets me there, and often there are other people there to meet and greet.
You know me; I love to go where the people are. Although I admit to getting pretty tired, I leave with a really good feeling. Since I joined the center, I have only missed one day.
The time spent does vary. Some days I only have the time, stamina, or motivation for 30 minutes; other days I may hang in there for an hour or a little more.
I've about made up my mind to forget my Scottish ancestry and keep up my membership, even when the winter is past. After all, there will still be the "too hot" and "too windy" excuses for not taking my bike out.
If you have trouble getting motivated to exercise and live near a fitness center, I highly recommend it. Your workouts can be as gentle or as strenuous as you wish. In fact, mine hardly deserve the name of workout, but the benefits are still significant. See you between the treadmill and the weight machine.

Arctic to remain part-time pursuit for Coast Guard
Since more Coast Guard ships and planes are operating in the Arctic, Adm. Robert J. Papp Jr. said, he is often asked when the service is going to build airports and stations in the region.
The Coast Guard's first Arctic Strategy, released Tuesday, states that for at lease the next decade, the Coast Guard is not going to invest heavily in infrastructure along the shore. Rather, the strategy calls for deploying aircraft, cutters, small boats, personnel and other mobile assets to Barrow, Alaska, and other Arctic sites in the summer.
"We will use the resources we have now on a seasonal basis to go up there and carry out the missions we're responsible for," Papp, the Coast Guard commandant, said in an interview.
The Coast Guard is still figuring out what resources will be needed and should work with other agencies, industry executives and officials in Alaska to determine together what the priorities are and how they will be funded, he added.
The Obama administration released a national strategy for the Arctic on May 10. The Coast Guard is the first agency to reflect that strategy with its own Arctic plan to guide maritime efforts in the region over the next 10 years.
Papp, who discussed his vision for the Arctic at an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C., said it's only right that the Coast Guard is the first, since the service has had a presence in the Arctic for nearly 150 years.
The strategies are aligned and both call on the U.S. Senate to ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, the United Nations treaty that regulates the resources of the sea and uses of the ocean. Of the eight Arctic nations, only the United States is not a party.
Not being a signatory hinders the nation's ability to resolve disputes over maritime boundaries, Papp said. Other countries with Arctic coastlines are charting the continental shelves to make claims under the treaty to increase their rights to the oil and gas reserves that lie beneath the Arctic waters.
The region holds an estimated 13 percent of the world's undiscovered oil and 30 percent of its undiscovered gas, according to the Coast Guard document, and more than 35 percent of Alaska's jobs are tied to the energy sector. Onshore production of oil in Alaska is diminishing.
Besides the oil companies that are increasingly heading to the Arctic as sea ice melts, more than 1 million adventure tourists are expected to visit this year and trans-Arctic traffic through Russia's northern sea route is increasing.
At least one cruise ship has let off passengers on Alaska's North Slope, which poses an issue for border security, Papp said. And, he said, he worries about ships breaking down, running aground or colliding with each other in areas that tugs can't easily reach. The Coast Guard will experiment this summer with a towing system used by the state of Alaska, delivered via helicopter.
Agencies within the Department of Homeland Security, including the Coast Guard, are discussing how to confront these emerging challenges together and a senior advisor to Secretary Janet Napolitano is coordinating the effort.
According to the Arctic Strategy, the Coast Guard, specifically, will try to ensure the maritime activity in the Arctic is safe, secure and environmentally-responsible by taking a leadership role in gaining a better awareness of the area, modernizing the governance system to oversee these activities while safeguarding national interests, and broadening public and private partnerships.
The president's budget includes money to build a new, heavy icebreaker. The Coast Guard Cutter Healy is the nation's only operational polar icebreaker but other cutters can operate in light ice. Last summer, one of the new National Security Cutters served as a mobile command post off of the North Slope and the Coast Guard sent two helicopters to Barrow and rented a hangar.
There is no other government agency better prepared at this point to operate in the Arctic, Papp said, because the Coast Guard's presence in the region has been "constant and persistent" since 1867. For the past three years especially, as more attention has been focused on the Arctic, the Coast Guard has tested its equipment, gained more knowledge and skills and learned from the indigenous people, he added.
"We are ready," Papp said. "The Coast Guard is always ready."

QUINCY, Mass.—UMass Boston men's tennis earned four of six singles matches and seniors Charles Lai (Boston, Mass.) and Sean Cullen (Medway, Mass.) each finished 2-0 to help UMass Boston earn their first win of the season Thursday afternoon with a 5-4 victory over Eastern Nazarene College (3-5) at the ENC Tennis Courts.
Playing their first match of the season with their full lineup, the defending Little East Conference Champions (1-5) took home four of the final six points of the day to knock off the host Lions.
Cullen and Lai teamed up at number one doubles for UMass Boston's lone victory during doubles action and then added victories at number one and two singles to help UMass Boston earn a victory in their first match back in New England.
The Beacons' two seniors opened the match with an 8-2 victory at number one doubles, before Eastern Nazarene claimed wins at second and third flight doubles. Tyler Perron and Nick Thompson defeated Lyle Analetto (Belmont, Mass.) and Eglis Bizhoti (Boston, Mass.) 8-2 at number two doubles, before Jack Wang (Suzhou, China) and Mark Grinhaus (Scarsdale, N.Y.) fell by an 8-4 score at number three doubles.
Cullen tied the match at 2-2, as he dominated Andres Biondi 6-1, 6-0 in top-flight singles.
Bizhoti gave the Beacons the lead for good; as he claimed a 6-1, 6-0 match victory at third-flight singles over Perron.
UMass Boston pushed their lead to 4-2, when Grinhaus outlasted his opponent 7-5, 7-5 at number five singles.
The Beacons clinched the match (5-2) at second-flight singles, when Lai earned a 6-2, 4-6, 6-0 victory to finish a perfect 2-for-2 on his birthday.
Kevin Paterno earned Eastern Nazarene their first singles point of the afternoon at number four singles. Paterno knocked off Wang 6-4, 7-5 in a tight contest.
In the final match of the day, Thompson claimed a victory over Analetto in an abbreviated match. With each player having taken home one set and the match already decided, the two players played a tiebreaker, rather than a full third set. Thompson took home the win with a 10-5 edge in the tiebreaker, to win the point 7-5, 1-6 (10-5).
The Beacons will look to carry the momentum into their Little East Conference and home opener Saturday against the University of the Southern Maine. Saturday's match pits the top two teams in the Little East Conference Preseason Poll and is slated to start at 1 p.m.

More tips on renting a dumpster in Red Bluff, CA
How long can I keep a temporary dumpster?
A 7-day rental period is often standard, although this can vary by company. Some dumpster services offer 14-day rental periods included in the price while others may charge a fee for each extra day you have the container.
Most companies allow you to keep the container longer by paying a per day or per week rental fee, which typically ranges from $5 to $10 per day (but can vary). A maximum number of days may apply. You can also have the trash bin picked up earlier than the agreed upon pick-up date by calling the company and requesting a pick-up.
Can any of my trash or debris be recycled?
Household junk or trash is taken to the landfill. Some types of construction and demolition debris may be able to be recycled, but it depends mostly on whether recycling facilities are available in your area. In recent years, recycling efforts have picked up significantly and so an increasing number of roll-off companies are able to offer recycling of C&D (construction and demolition) debris, asphalt roof shingles, concrete, and some other debris types.
The best way to know if your debris can be recycled is to first ask your selected disposal service. If so, you'll need to keep recyclables in a separate dumpster. For example, concrete debris should go in one dumpster and non-recyclable mixed trash in another.
