So after having scrapped my first attempt at installing Gentoo because I messed some things up, on my second round, dhcpcd has failed to build. Anyone have any ideas based on this build log?

The code posted on the UCSD website isn’t working for me. Anyone have a promo code that works?

I’m currently writing a story for the Poly Post about the weather this weekend. I am looking to interview any students that either had to miss class this week, had class canceled this week or experienced anything else due to the weather, please either contact me here or at [email protected]

I’ve started receiving my tax documents for the tax year and have started calculating how much I owe in taxes. I’ve yet to receive my T3’s but have noticed on my T4 that my employer noted 0 in income tax deductions. I received 2 T4’s one for my part time contract employment another for my now full time employment and both had $0 deducted. I am a full time student as well and my college has not made my 2022 T2202 forums available. My 2021 ones are also missing and I never filed them since I had no idea they existed and will need to use the unclaimed credit this year.
TLDR, my employer never deducted income tax only CPP and EI and my college never provided my 2021 tax papers. I now have to pay roughly 8k in unpaid taxes. What can I do to prevent this?
Edit: I appreciate the responses. I double checked my TD1 and I did declare my “second” job but also when I stopped I had it updated to reflect that. I claimed no edu credits and I’m doing the process now to get my T2202 from this and last year (college f’d up and never gave me the 2021 one) Going to be reaching out to an accountant for next steps as well as putting in a complaint internally and with CRA.

The Rig Veda gives the earliest evidence of many gods (often known from other Indo-European myths in different forms, but recognizable). It is written in an old language (of the type later called Sanskrit) which is not fully understood, though much work has been done to get close to the truth. Even when the words are already known (as they are when by themselves), they can mean different things in compounds. That is, a word like dhánarca-, when applied to a god like Agni, has been taken as showing that Agni sung, that his followers sang to him, etc. It has something to do with its compnents, ‘reward’ and ‘song’, but since it is only a single word, not a sentence with the parts in set order, etc., this is unclear. Without understanding the rules that governed the formation of such compounds in the distant past, much of the nature of the gods will remain unknown.
​
In https://www.academia.edu/41018907 he is correct about dhána-rca- (an epithet of Agni) not showing that Agni sang, since his worshippers praised him with song instead, but his exact interpretation is clouded by his view of compounds. Since the order (and often accent, since not **á-mṛta- ‘immortal’, etc.) are not related to the meaning of old compounds in Skt., Celtic, or Greek, I think the simple explanation is:
dhána-rca- ‘rewarded by song’ (or maybe in form “whose prize is song”)
which fits all the meanings and context he wonders about.
​
In this https://www.academia.edu/41005152 it seems that what he takes as pṛkṣá-prayaj-o… uṣás-o (with pṛkṣá-prayaj- an adj. modifying ‘dawn’) with pṛkṣá-prayaj- specifying the ‘time’ meaning itself is unlikely; the only thing that makes sense is a dvandva:
pṛkṣá-prayaj-o + uṣás-o ‘sacrifice of food at dawn’
with ‘dawn’ specificying which one was meant (I assume all sacrifices over the course of the day would have similar names, used if needed (and fitting the poetic meter)); like any dvandva, uṣás- added the same ending as the other part, even if not usually possible (see below).
​
This is the same as párīṇas-, a neuter n., appearing as párīṇasam in the phrase:
rayíṃ vīrávant-am + párīṇas-am ‘a wealth of valor and glory’ or? ‘of fighting men and abundance’
I say this is a noun modified by a dvandva adj. There is no other explanation for -am here (in https://www.academia.edu/428964/Avestan_xvar%C9%99nah_the_etymology_and_concept Lubotsky says the poet “mistakenly” made párīṇas-, a neuter n., masc. here when he “transferred the phrase to the acc.”; this would not happen in any IE language of that age, let alone a poet imitating even older forms, so I see no way to accept this as a mistake).
​
The two translations above are for the standard and the (likely intended in the RV) meaning I suggest. Since *vihra- > vīrá- and *vīhra- > vīrá- were once separate but look the same in the RV as we know it, I say there was once an adj. *vīhra- ‘manly/valorous/etc.’ and n. *vīhra-m (maybe identical to vīryá-m ‘manliness?/strength/valoheroism’ if h1 = x^ (which could optionally have x^ > y ), formed by the process of V > V: (analogous to a > ā (often from *e vs. *o originally)). Though Lubotsky tries to show párīṇas-am ‘abundance’ is the only and original meaning, Iranian evidence of two words with p- vs. f- / xw- (from *fxw- in my view) exists, one ‘abundance’, the other ‘radiance’, which merged in Skt. due to sound changes (and in most derivatives too, but even if *-s- was unetymological these derivatives still merged in meaning (in this case one word (if it existed) would be deplaced)). Of course, this claim that *fxwarənah- ‘radiance, glory’ did not have any evidence of actually being visible or glowing in the Iranian tradition is without any evidence, existing only to support his claim of Scythian origin (in ALL Iranian languages, somehow).
​
The initial *psw- > *fxv- is stil partly seen in the loanword Tocharian A putt-iśparäṃ ‘Buddhahood’ (which must have been borrowed from an IIr. language before the obfuscating changes, with *pšw > *špw > *išpw before pw > pp (apparently Cpp > Cp ) or similar (many IIr. added i- before *sC-, among other clusters)). This also explains the odd outcomes in Iranian *praswarnas- > *fṣwarənax- > *fšxWarənah- ‘radiance, glory’ > Av. x˅arǝnah-, OP farnah- as variants from an old cluster *pšw , etc. (with r-s > r-š before r-r > 0-r ). Lubotsky attempted to remove putt-iśparäṃ from consideration (even when his opponents all say *s- here for Av. x˅arǝnah-, which this would certainly prove) by saying *-is- was a suffix (with no specific evidence, though suffixes can exist in most places, I suppose). See https://www.reddit.com/etymology/comments/10e3r76/avestan_xar%C7%9Dnah_radiance_glory_f%C7%9Dra%C5%A1a_shining/
​
The adj. vīrávant-am ‘having valor’ is self-explanatory, and even if vīrá- meant something different the form would be understandable. However, what if you possess two things that are related (as a dvandva)? Instead of someone who has X and Y being X-Y-vant-, he is X-vant- + Y-
vīrávant-am + párīṇas-am ‘having valor and glory’ or? ‘having fighting men and abundance’
That is: the phrase vīrávant-am + párīṇas- was a dvandva n., and when it formed a derivative with -vant it was vīrávant- + párīṇas- instead of (probably impossible at the time (can’t put two accented equal nouns in the same slot?)) **vīrá-párīṇas-vant- (compare other dvandvas the same case endings even when separated by other words). This dvandva was, likely by necessity (at the time?), of the type that inflected both components, so the acc. was vīrávant-am + párīṇas-am.
​
Just as the phrase vīrávant-am + párīṇas- was a dvandva n. that at some point formed vīrávant- + párīṇas-, so did its derivatives create the related vira-pśá-. Since Avestan fǝraša- ‘shining’ is from *pra-swar- ( < *suwar- ‘sun’, fra- can appear as f- due to dissimilation as in fsratu- ‘authority’ < *pra-kratu- ‘great power’) and *fxwarənah- ‘radiance, glory’ from *praswarnas-, the older *vihra-prasvar- underwent changes (including r-r-r > r-0-0, sv > s near P, already known types) to *vihra-praṣva- > *vira-paṣva- > *vira-pṣa- > vira-pśá- (the loss of V is probably due to Cr > Cǝr first; when r-r > r-0, *vihra-pǝraṣva- > *vihra-pǝ_aṣva- > *vihra-pǝṣva- > *vihra-pṣva- etc., but the details are less important than its existence). Loss of -h- in compounds is known, no regularity. Note that vira-pśá- as related to *pek^u- has no evidence in Skt., only a theory about the one word linguists thought could give -pśá- (which might actually regularly give *-ksu- in all positions, with no ev. either way, though there is evidence for other P-P > K-P by u / v, so it seems either way would give *vira-kṣva- if really ‘sheep’ here). The meaning ‘abundant’ here when *s only existed in ‘glory’ before the two words merged is what I meant by a merger of all forms regardless of etymology.
​
That the opaque vira-pśá had its full or explicit equivalent in vīrávant- + párīṇas- is seen by their existence and status as dvandva adj. vs. compound adj. Lubotsky shows the equivalence of these with the Iranian phrases from the same IIr. source himself, indicating the great age of these uses; the evidence for vira-pśá- ~ vīrávant- + párīṇas- was laid out by him but he was too blinded by his theory of Scythian origin (thus only one párīṇas-, never an adj. (phrase)) to see what it implied. The existence of such dvandvas is important in studying and explaining the meaning of the RV and related poems; I have not studied much of the RV and can not imagine what else might be waiting (please send me any examples you can think of, or other obscure phrases). These are all very important in the religions of many millions of people. Knowing this information can help all scholars who are willing to carefully examine the evidence of the past for what it shows to the stubborn. I hope you will be willing to let those who should know in on what they’ve been missing, in both senses.

Howdy folks. I have a niche podcast ("The Engineering Student Experience") where I explore topics relevant to current and future engineering students through conversations with practicing engineers, engineering faculty, and engineering students.
I would like to record an episode on what it's like to repeat at least a few engineering courses in college due to low scores (i.e., receiving a D or F in a course). This is a very common experience for engineering students, but many incoming freshman may not realize this and become highly discouraged when it happens to them.
I am seeking one current engineering student who is within a couple semesters of graduation and repeated courses at least 3 times while at CPP. I would prefer the student not be a ME major because a second student guest is a ME major.
The podcast is audio-only and I would work with both engineering students to find a convenient time to record the episode during Spring 2023.
If you are interested in being a guest, please email me at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). We will have a short preliminary conversation to ensure you are a good fit for the episode.

UPDATE:
This is what I am trying to get more info about:
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/GuiRpc
Especially the Python, and/or any Javascript wrapper.
and these specifically are the commands:
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/GuiRpcProtocol#project_attach
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/GuiRpcProtocol#project_detach
And in case anyone finds this interesting, here is a BOINC example on how to access RPC using C++:
https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/masteclient/boinc_cmd.cpp
ORIGINAL QUESTION
Is it possible to have a running BOINC instance, and then to use a web form (running on a web server on same host), to add/remove Projects in real time?
Would you need to use one of the API RPC wrappers?
I have seen the Python API RPC wrapper, is there a JS version? Does anyone have a full, online example of using the Python et al wrapper?
If you have used BOINC RPC for a client app, in your opinion what would be the best language to use (excluding C++ and accessing the API directly)? Python? Javascript?
Essentially what I am thinking/playing about with is how we could allow someone to use one of our servers or workstations to run BOINC, without having to give that person IPMI/OS access.
For now if they can add or remove Projects that would be a big chunk of what people will want to do.
Thanks

Where can I find the CPP calendar for academic year 2023-2024? This link used to show several future years. Now it’s only showing until Spring 2023. https://www.cpp.edu/academicplanning/academic-calendaindex.shtml

It's that time again when all kinds of questions about IA crop up so I thought I'd post answers for the Top 5 categories here, and hopefully y'all will share the info with your non-Redditor fellow students. Make sure you check out the FAQ page too: https://www.broncobookstore.com/instant-access.asp?

1. How do I access/find materials?
   1. For regular e-books (not online homework), look for the "Course Materials" navigation option, or the "Vital Source Course Books" module in CANVAS. You should see a 'Read Now' button that will take you into VItalSource's Bookshelf app where you can start reading. If you already have a BookShelf account, you still need to start out with the lnk from Canvas the first time you go to read that book. (After that Bookshelf will remember you)
   2. NOTE: IF you don't see either of those options your professor may still need to enable the VitalSource tool. Contact us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and we will 'nudge' the professor.
   3. For publisher-specific online homework like WileyPlus, MyLab, Connect, Revel, Mastering, etc. - look for the links to that publisher's platform in Canvas. Also check your email for instructions that were mailed out for those courses.
2. Opting Out:
   1. The deadline is 2/10/23, this is 1 whole week after drop/add ends so should be plenty of time to figure out whether you need the materials or not.
   2. Click on the "Want to Opt Out" button in Canvas,
   3. OR follow the steps to request your individual Portal link (see FAQ page)
   4. YOU HAVE TO CLICK "Want to Opt Out" for EACH specific item you don't need.
   5. Check to make sure you get the confirmation email. If you don't, contact [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) so we can check for you.
3. Dropped classes: As long as you drop within the opt out period any associated IA charges get automatically reversed when you drop, you don't need to do anything. If you withdraw later in the semester you'll need to contact us. Depending on how late in the semester it is we may or may not be able to waive the charge but we will check with the publisher and try. After the semester is over it's too late.
4. Refunds: If you already paid your e-book charge and then opt out, it may take some time for Student Accounts & Cashier Services to deposit the refund to your payment method because they wait to see if you incur any new charges during drop/add first. If you need it issued sooner contact [email protected].
5. Troubleshooting Issues:
   1. For VitalSource Ebooks check out their support resources here: https://support.vitalsource.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
   2. If you don't find what you need or the problem is with courseware, email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) with as much detail as you can - screenshots are great! - to help us diagnose the issue or escalate it to the specific publisher ASAP.

Hope this helps the semester get off to a good start.

I am implementing a Valheim server in c++. The Valheim client and dedicated server heavily use UnityEngine and its features. I must implement some of these features to make things consistent between my c++ server and the Valheim client.
I started reverse engineering 2 months ago with Ghidra, finishing off a month ago as I thought my implementations of Random and PerlinNoise were accurate. I started some testing today and found that PerlinNoise produces inaccurate results when provided with negative parameters.
I have tested x and y inputs ranging from -1.1 to 1.1 in increments of 0.1 (x) and 0.3 (y). All positive input values (both x and y) I have tested here yielded similar if not exact values to the Unity result.
I have no idea what could be wrong. I have Googled, brute forced different int/uint casts at the start of the method, and scraped through the very few Unity-specific or Perlin noise in general articles. Some of my findings:

• https://forum.unity.com/threads/mathf-perlinnoise-function-source-code-question-on-2d-3d-implementations.518304/
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63667297/unity-is-mathf-perlinnoise-consistent-across-all-implementations-devices-pl
• https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.PerlinNoise.html
• https://forum.unity.com/threads/algorithm-implementations-of-random-and-perlinnoise.1348790/ (my post)
• https://cs.nyu.edu/~perlin/noise/ (helped a bit with comparing my code)
• https://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/29393/is-there-a-way-to-find-the-implementation-of-methods-with-methodimploptions-inte (helped a lot when starting this entire RE process)

See https://github.com/PeriodicSeizures/Valhalla/blob/6c823bbb21ee6c285fb1722190f7c27ae3f140e5/src/VUtilsMath.cpp#L210 for the code I currently have.
I highly suspect the problematic portion is at the beginning of the PerlinNoise code, where floats are converted to int. For those who are interested in assisting/figuring this out, I am unable to provide the Ghidra project file (for security reasons). You can create a Ghidra project if you wanna help.
The specific UnityEngine.dll I am using is packaged with the latest version of the Valheim client.

• SHA1: 74008A8DB66F885BC7B2B21694A5AA3F1355D48F
• File version: 2020.3.33.23162
• Product version: 2020.3.33.9525882

If you do not have a copy of the .dll or are unable to find one, any modern UnityEngine.dll might be fine. You might have to find the PerlinNoise function from scratch (the last StackOverflow post above in the bullet list is helpful).
The address of the primary PerlinNoise function is at 0x18075f070, and the enclosing wrapper can be easily found by looking at the referencing functions (it is important because it modifies the final PerlinNoise value). I just do Navigation -> Go To... then enter the address.
If you have questions about anything or about stuff I have missed feel free to ask.

It has been a popular choice for web developers for many years to use PHP for web development. Dynamic web pages are created using this server-side scripting language. And it is used by millions of websites and is one of the most popular languages used on the web.
PHP is a versatile language that can be used for a wide range of tasks, from developing small websites to large enterprise applications. PHP can be used to create anything from simple static websites to complex dynamic applications.
We cover everything from what PHP is, what it does, the roles and responsibilities of a PHP developer, as well as how Synergent can help you find the right PHP developer for your project.

What is PHP Development?

Hypertext Preprocessor, or PHP, is a server-side scripting language. It is a core online technology, with the majority of websites using it. PHP includes a number of accurate functions and remarkable features that allow businesses to develop feature-rich web pages and database-driven sites.

What is the function of PHP?

Most of what a software developer requires may be created with PHP code. However, it thrives in three primary areas.

Server-side scripting

PHP’s core strength is server-side scripting. PHP is an excellent language to learn if you’re just starting to learn how to write and want to explore server-side scripting. To get started with PHP server-side scripting, you’ll need a PHP parser, a web server, and a web browser.

Command-line scripting

Command-line scripting is useful for scripts written with cron (Linux) or Task Scheduler (Windows). It’s also helpful for basic text processing.

Creating desktop applications

PHP is probably not the greatest language to utilize when developing desktop programs, although it does offer advantages to expert web developers.
Of course, PHP is capable of far more. It excels at collecting data, encrypting user data, and sending and receiving cookies, for example. One of the key advantages of PHP that makes it so valuable is that it is compatible with all major operating systems, allowing you to code regardless of the technology you use.

Top 5 PHP Development Tools For Efficient PHP Developers

There are a lot of PHP tools on the market today, and choosing the best one isn’t easy. The 10 best PHP development tools that caught the attention of web developers are listed below.

Why use PHP IDEs?

PHP IDEs include syntax highlighting and other features that make PHP development easier. Typically, PHP IDEs provide ready-made code templates and comprehensive projects.
There are numerous aspects to consider when selecting the finest IDE. And nearly every IDE website promises to be the best.

Completed code

Automated code suggestions assist the developer to avoid typing as much. If it supports custom classes and phpDoc, it can save you time reading project documentation.

Debugging

It is less important in PHP because you may use FirePHP or add echoes without recompiling your code. Debugging, on the other hand, can save you hours when dealing with intricate systems where you must write an echo after each line to see what’s happening.

Roles and Responsibilities for PHP developers

• Professionally develop, test, and deploy new, innovative website apps.
• Work with JS, CSS, and HTML.
• Refactor the existing codebase to improve the architecture.
• Communicate and collaborate with other team members to resolve problems, set priorities, and select the best solutions.
• Create a strategy for maintaining the website current and up-to-date at all times.
• Test websites using different browsers and devices.
• Investigate different architectural factors.
• Keep up with the most recent programming practices and web technologies.
• Provide detailed specifications such as product features, budget, programming languages, communication protocols, functionalities, structure, and deadlines.

What Are the Main Advantages of PHP?

1. Open Source

Since PHP is free and open-source, developers may install it easily and use it right away. There are several PHP frameworks available, and developers can use any of them.

2. Platform Independent

PHP is primarily supported by all operating systems such as Windows, Unix, and Linux. PHP-based web apps can operate on any platform. So, it helps to save a lot of time and money.

3. Easy and Simple

The simplicity and ease of learning and coding in PHP are a plus. It is mostly organized and clean, which benefits new developers as well. PHP’s command functions are simple to learn and comprehend. The syntax is simple and adaptable.

4. Database

PHP connects to databases easily and securely. It includes a built-in module for connecting to databases.

5. Fast

PHP is known as the fastest programming language when compared to others. PHP programs can be easily loaded even on slow Internet connections. PHP’s fast speed provides the developer with an advantage when developing web applications with the PHP programming language.

6. Security

The built-in capabilities and tools of the PHP framework make it easy to defend online applications from external attacks and security risks. SQL injection, data tampering, forgeries, and other security concerns may exist. PHP frameworks were used by developers to defend their online applications from these security concerns.

Reasons to use PHP frameworks in web development

Accelerate web development

Working with a PHP framework is similar to working on a pre-built template that includes various components for basic functionalities such as login, forms, server communication, HTTP, and so on. A number of other features and technologies help to accelerate web development.

No need to develop additional code

Unlike several other programming languages, PHP uses long lines of code to convey concepts. As a result, building PHP-based web development solutions is hard and time-consuming. As a result, developing web development solutions with the PHP programming language requires a significant amount of time and effort.
PHP frameworks, on the other hand, drastically cut down on development time. Many frameworks offer code generation features that allow PHP developers to easily create clean, manageable source code.

Adherence to standards

When you utilize a PHP framework, you can assure that your web development solution adheres to standards. The frameworks were designed with coding standards in mind. As a result, these frameworks naturally adhere to the relevant criteria. Thus, PHP frameworks can be used to create strong and standards-compliant web development solutions.

The MVC assistance

MVC is a modern web development strategy used by PHP frameworks to speed up and simplify the development process.
MVC not only allows for the rapid development of web development solutions, but it also offers an efficient architecture for websites and online apps. With this approach, many developers can work on each layer of your project independently without worrying about compatibility.

Automate web development processes

Using a PHP framework reduces development time since frameworks automate various activities. A framework allows a PHP developer to automate common tasks such as authentication, session management, caching, and URL mapping. All of this automation shortens development time and allows developers to complete and deliver projects on schedule.
In conclusion, PHP is a versatile scripting language that is widely used in web development. It is fast, secure, and easy to use. PHP can be used to create dynamic web pages, connect to databases, and process form data. If you are looking for a web development language that is both powerful and easy to use, PHP is a great choice. To learn more about PHP or to hire a PHP developer, contact Synergent.

Note: Thanks to all who have already spotted things and provided feedback. You know who you are. Realizing this list is only going to grow with everyone's inputs, and I'm hitting the 40'000 character reddit post limit. Any suggestions on how to get around this will also be super helpful.
Why this?
I don't know if anyone else needs this but I often find myself utterly confused by the acronyms used in every other sentence in every thread here. So I started collecting a list of acronyms and added to it every time I came across a new one (which still happens every time, by the way).
For each acronym:

• I looked up the acronym definition (e.g. LAC - Licensed associate counselor / licensed addiction counselor / Looked-after children - UK)
• Copied and/or wrote a short description enough for me to understand the terms on a very superficial "high-level" (e.g. LAC can refer to a few things. In the US, mainly refers either licensed associate counselor OR licensed addiction counselor in some states. Could refer to children in public care who are placed with foster carers, in residential homes or with parents or other relatives in the UK.)
• Saved a decent source-link for later reference, a good habit from my 10 years as an academic researcher. (e.g. iow.gov.uk))

So I'm sharing this in case this is helpful to one other person here.
How this is structured
The list is structured in the following way:

1. 👀 Acronym - Full Name list 👀 (for a quick reference to the acronym only)
2. 📚 Definitions & Sources 📚 of the same list (for more context than the expanded acronym definition)

Disclaimer
I do not claim to have all the most accurate definitions so anyone spotting clearly wrong or inaccurate information should comment or reach out via DM so we leverage everyone's eyes and minds here to make this as accurate as possible over time.
This is also not meant to be fully comprehensive (as it is simply not possible). But please also point out any obviously missing terms so they can be added to the list.
Happy also to hear any suggestions on how to improve this moving forward.
Also there will likely be typos and the occasional silly human error here or there. Let me know if you spot any.
