f# - Why do prints to console get mixed up when doing parallel computations? -


while running code performs parallel computations output becomes garbled: different messages mixed up. here sample:

iteration 1 iteration iteration 23 of 19 - calculating p&l test window ending @ 10/28/1968 12:00:00   of iteration 4 iteration  of iteration 5 iteration iteration 19 - calculating p&l test window ending @  of 19 - calculating p&l test window ending @ 5/29/1974 12:00:00 6 of 878/18/1971 12:00:00 am19 - calculating p&l test window ending @ 3/4/1977 12:00:00    of 19 of  of 19 - calculating p&l test window ending @ 6/25/1985 12:00:00

when running same program sequentially console output comes out nice, no garbling.

printing console done function:

let windowtraintest (comm: communication) critfoo count (model: imodel) (assets: assets) (paramlist: parameters list) =     // deleted code here     if comm = verbose         let msg1 = sprintf "\nwindowtraintestpandl: first date: %a, last date: %a\nbest criterion: %.2f\n" fdate ldate bestcriterion         let msg2 = sprintf "best parameters: %a\n" bestparameters          printfn "%s" <| msg1 + msg2      (pandl, wgts), bestparameters, ( ["criterion", bestcriterion]            |> map.oflist,                                      ["firstdate", fdate; "lastdate", ldate] |> map.oflist )

parallelization done portion of program:

let pseqmapi f (xs: seq<'t>) = xs |> pseq.mapi f  let traintest n (trainsize, fullsize) =         let takenassets = assets |> assets.take (min fullsize len)         lastdate takenassets         |> printfn "\niteration %d of %d - calculating p&l test window ending @ %a\n" (i + 1) n         paramlist         |> windowtraintest comm' critfoo trainsize model takenassets      let maptraintest (initsizes: (int * int) list) =         let f = traintest initsizes.length         match calctype         | pseq -> initsizes |> pseqmapi f |> list.ofseq         | _    -> initsizes |> seq.mapi f |> list.ofseq

is there way avoid kind of behavior, example flushing message console?

parallel computations run on different threads, , if 1 thread interrupted in middle of printfn , second thread runs printfn before first thread gets run again, outputs interleaved.

the simplest way deal create new function use lock keyword around printfn invocations:

let lockobj = new obj() let lockedprintfn msg = lock lockobj (fun _ -> printfn msg)

then replace printfn calls lockedprintfn , should serialized output you're expecting. performance suffer little since threads spending time waiting printfn lock, long computations take longer time spent printing output, shouldn't notice slightly-slower performance.

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

python Tkinter Capturing keyboard events save as one single string -

is possible store keyboard events 1 string? code below stores 1 char , prints it. card reader or bar code reader, contains collection of character/ string not 1 character @ time. goal save char pressed text variable. from tkinter import * root = tk() def key(event): text= event.char text+= event.char print ("pressed", text) def callback(event): frame.focus_set() print ("clicked at", event.x, event.y) frame = frame(root, width=100, height=100) frame.bind("<key>", key) frame.bind("<button-1>", callback) frame.pack() root.mainloop() currently, creating text variable , everytime key() function gets called, , text stores last character typed. you can define text module level variable , , use module level text inside key function - text = '' def key(event): global text text+= event.char print("pressed", text)

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
