I've been trying to use Resource Function timeInState(ResourceUsageState.USAGE_BUSY, TimeUnits.Hour) to measure how may hours a machine is busy. This is my approach using HorasExtra as a variable:
Approach
I get this error: class com.anylogic.engine.Agent cannot be cast to class horas_extra.M1_Extra (com.anylogic.engine.Agent and horas_extra.M1_Extra are in unnamed module of loader 'app')
I really would like to use the ResourceFunctions but I think I'm missing something. I'm most likely not completely understanding this: "The resources seized by an agent can be accessed via the unmodifiable LinkedList resourceUnits collection of the agent".
There's no further information about the topic on AnyLogic nor other websites. Please advice. Thank you!
I found a solution to my problem I'd like to share in case it's helpful for somebody or if there's anything I should be warned.
I created a Resource Type M1_Extra (this would be my machine).
In M1_Extra I defined: a) Variable: Extra, b) Function: fnBusy, c) Event: fnUpdate.
In fnBusy: Extra= timeInState(ResourceUsageState.USAGE_BUSY, TimeUnits.HOUR);
In fnUpdate: fnBusy();
Then, in Main I created: a) Variable: HE
In the resourcePool,On Release: HE = ((M1_Extra)unit).Extra; And Unit type M1_Extra
That way you can acess the Resource Functions. Thanks!

Is it possible to have some kind of unique symbol value on the type level, that could be used to distinct (tag) some record without the need to supply a unique string value?
In JS there is Symbol often used for such things. But I would like to have it without using Effect, in pure context.
Well, it could even like accessing Full qualified module name (which is quite unique for the task), but I'm not sure if this is a really relevant/possible thing in the Purescript context.
Example:
Say There is some module that exposes:
type Worker value state =
{ tag :: String
, work :: value -> state -> Effect state
}
makeWorker :: forall value state. Worker value state
performWork :: forall value state. woker -> Worker value state -> value -> Unit
This module is used to manage the state of workers, it passes them value and current state value, and gets Effect with new state value, and puts in state map where keys are tags.
Users of the module:
In one module:
worker = makeWorker { tag: "WorkerOne", work }
-- Then this tagged `worker` is used to performWork:
-- performWork worker "Some value"
In another module we use worker with another tag:
worker = makeWorker { tag: "WorkerTwo", work }
So it would be nice if there would be no need to supply a unique string ("WorkerOne", "WorkerTwo") as a tag but use some "generated" unique value. But the task is that worker should be created on the top level of the module in pure context.
Semantics of PureScript as such is pure and pretty much incompatible with this sort of thing. Same expression always produces same result. The results can be represented differently at a lower level, but in the language semantics they're the same.
And this is a feature, not a bug. In my experience, more often than not, a requirement like yours is an indication of a flawed design somewhere upstream.
An exception to this rule is FFI: if you have to interact with the underlying platform, there is no choice but to play by that platform's rules. One example I can give is React, which uses the JavaScript's implicit object identity as a way to tell components apart.
So the bottom line is: I urge you to reconsider the requirement. Chances are, you don't really need it. And even if you do, manually specified strings might actually be better than automatically generated ones, because they may help you troubleshoot later.
But if you really insist on doing it this way, good news: you can cheat! :-)
You can generate your IDs effectfully and then wrap them in unsafePerformEffect to make it look pure to the compiler. For example:
import Effect.Unsafe (unsafePerformEffect)
import Data.UUID (toString, genUUID)
workerTag :: String
workerTag = toString $ unsafePerformEffect genUUID
One typical way of managing state in Lift is to create a singleton object extending SessionVar, like in this example taken from the documentation:
object MySnippetCompanion {
object mySessionVar extends SessionVar[String]("hello")
}
The case for using SessionVars is clear and I've been using them in practice as needed. I also roughly understand how they work inside.
Still, I can't help but wonder why the mechanism for "session variables", which are clearly associated with the current session (usually just one out of many sessions in the system), was designed to be used via a singleton? This goes so against my intuition that at first glance I was tempted to believe that Lift was somehow able to override Scala's language features and to make object mean something different that in regular Scala.
Even though I now understand how it works, I can't grasp the rationale for such a design, which, at least for me, breaks the rule of least astonishment. Can someone point out any advantages or perhaps explain why such a design decision could have been made?
Session variables in Lift use Scala's DynamicVariable. Basically they allow you to statically reference a variable in a code-block and then later on call the code and substitute a value:
import scala.util.DynamicVariable
val x = new DynamicVariable(1)
def printIt() {
println(x.value)
}
printIt()
//> 1
x.withValue(2)(printIt())
//> 2
So each time a request is handled, the scope of these dynamic variables is changed to the current session, completely hiding the state change of the current session to you as a programmer.
The other option would be to pass around a "sessionID" object which you would have to use when you want to access session specific data. Not really handy.
The reason you have to use the object keyword is that object is unique in that it defines both a value and a class. This allows Lift to call getClass to get a name that uniquely identifies this SessionVar vs. any other one, which Lift needs in order to serialize and deserialize every piece of session state in the right place(s). Furthermore if the SessionVar is in a class that has two instances (for instance a snippet rendered in two tabs), they will both refer to the same piece of session state. (The flip side of the coin is that the same SessionVar instance can be referenced by two different sessions and mean the right thing to each.)
Actually at times this is insufficient --- for instance, if you define a SessionVar in a trait, and have two different classes that inherit the trait, but you need them two have two different values. The solution in that case is to override the def for the "name salt", which is combined with getClass to identify the SessionVar.
My question is how to program in Python (2.6) a function that uses a namespace of an object, while the function is defined outside the object/class. In addition, that function should only change the variables in the object's namespace; it should not take over the namespace (because with multiple objects they will all use the same namespace).
My reason for pursuing this, is because I wish to write a very small class, where during construction all necessary functions for future use are already given and subsequent function calls (self.__call__) on the object itself can be directly applied.
I realize that this idea is not very pythonic (as they say), and I have thought of various other solutions (such as putting the functions in another class and connecting them), but I can't help but feel that each of these solutions is a lot more work than I would think makes sense.
One simple way that accomplishes what I want is the following:
class A:
def __init__(self, some_dict, func_a):
self.memory = some_dict
self.__call__ = func_a
def test_func(obj, some_input):
if some_input in obj.memory :
return obj.memory[some_input]
else :
obj.memory[some_input] = 0. # some default value
return 0.
first_object = A({}, test_func)
print first_object(first_object, '3')
This will work fine, but what aches me is that when I make function calls to the object, I will also have to give the object itself (see the last line). I hope to be able make calls as such:
print first_object('3')
So far, my ideas were unsuccesful to avoid this (e.g. copying the function method and link its namespace by self.__call__.memory = self.memory). I wish to find something to change the def __init__ part to 'adopt' a function and link their namespaces.
I have rigorously searched for an answer on the internet, but a definite solution has not yet been found. The following http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t738476-inserting-class-namespace-into-method-scope.html seeks the same, but is also not succesfull.
Anyone have a solution to tackle this?
I have some troubles getting a class from an older packages been recognized by the S4 class definition. I keep on getting the error
Error in makePrototypeFromClassDef(properties, ClassDef, immediate, where) :
in making the prototype for class "Tsvmm" elements of the prototype failed to
match the corresponding slot class: dates (class "dates" )
In addition: Warning message:
undefined slot classes in definition of "Tsvmm": dates(class "dates")
A reproducible example:
require(chron)
setClass(
Class="Tsvmm",
representation=representation(
data = "data.frame",
dates = "dates"
),
prototype=prototype(
data = data.frame(),
dates = chron(0)
)
)
When trying class(chron(0)), the answer is "dates" "times". using is.numeric(chron(0)), the answer is TRUE. Yet, when I set the class of slot dates as "numeric", I get the same error without the warning message.
I have the feeling I'm overlooking something obvious, but I couldn't find it in the documentation yet. Anybody any pointers?
PS: I know the chron package is at least peculiar, but I have good reasons to use this. Plus, the problem is likely to occur with other packages. See this as an example for a general question. So please, don't tell me to use the Date or POSIXt classes. That's a hack I'm using now.
It seems that you need setOldClass to make methods believe dates is a real class.
I've got a similar problem because Gtk2 objects (e.g., Gtk2::GtkBuilder) are not S4 classes whereas I wanted one instance of such an object in my own code. I think I worked arround a the situation by removing the prototype() thing and using an "initialize()" method.
I'm currently experimenting with using OCaml and GTK together (using the lablgtk bindings). However, the documentation isn't the best, and while I can work out how to use most of the features, I'm stuck with changing notebook pages (switching to a different tab).
I have found the function that I need to use, but I don't know how to use it. The documentation seems to suggest that it is in a sub-module of GtkPackProps.Notebook, but I don't know how to call this.
Also, this function has a type signature different to any I have seen before.
val switch_page : ([> `notebook ], Gpointer.boxed option -> int -> unit) GtkSignal.t
I think it returns a GtkSignal.t, but I have no idea how to pass the first parameter to the function (the whole part in brackets).
Has anyone got some sample code showing how to change the notebook page, or can perhaps give me some tips on how to do this?
What you have found is not a function but the signal. The functional type you see in its type is the type of the callback that will be called when the page switch happen, but won't cause it.
by the way the type of switch_page is read as: a signal (GtkSignal.t) raised by notebook [> `notebook ], whose callbacks have type Gpointer.boxed option -> int -> unit
Generally speaking, with lablgtk, you'd better stay away of the Gtk* low level modules, and use tge G[A-Z] higher level module. Those module API look like the C Gtk one, and I always use the main Gtk doc to help myself.
In your case you want to use the GPack.notebook object and its goto_page method.
You've found a polymorphic variant; they're described in the manual in Section 4.2, and the typing rules always break my head. I believe what the signature says is that the function switch_page expects as argument a GtkSignal.t, which is an abstraction parameterized by two types:
The first type parameter,
[> `notebook]
includes as values any polymorphic variant including notebook (that's what the greater-than means).
The second type parameter is an ordinary function.
If I'm reading the documentation for GtkSignal.t correctly, it's not a function at all; it's a record with three fields:
name is a string.
classe is a polymorphic variant which could be ``notebook` or something else.
marshaller is a marshaller for the function type Gpointer.boxed option -> int -> unit.
I hope this helps. If you have more trouble, section 4.2 of the manual, on polymorphic variants, might sort you out.
