"A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of y-intercept"

01/13/2012. From a lecture by Professor John Ousterhout at Stanford, class CS140

Here's today's thought for the weekend. A little bit of slope makes up for a lot of Y-intercept.

[Laughter]

Important Note

Please use built-in Terminal.app (of Mac OS X) to type and rune the command, do not use another tool (like iTerm2).

Common step after enter run the patch command:

After run the commands, start new Sublime Text app, go to Main Menu > Help > Enter License. On the popup type in any text (example "a") and click Use Licence .

Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"

chartFactory

/affini-tech/ChartFactory

Based on D3.JS and Dimple, ChartFactory provide the ability to build quickly D3.JS charts without coding any lines of javascript. Just define your dashboard in a JSON and voila !

charts: [
        {id:'chart1',
         width:800,height:250,

xAxis:{type:'Category',field: "Month",orderRule:'Date'},

One-line Tree in Python

Using Python's built-in defaultdict we can easily define a tree data structure:

def tree(): return defaultdict(tree)

That's it!

UPDATE: A better way! (August 2015)

As pointed out by @johntyree in the comments, using git reflog is easier and more reliable. Thanks for the suggestion!

 $ git reflog
1ed7510 HEAD@{1}: checkout: moving from develop to 1ed7510
3970d09 HEAD@{2}: checkout: moving from b-fix-build to develop
1ed7510 HEAD@{3}: commit: got everything working the way I want
70b3696 HEAD@{4}: commit: upgrade rails, do some refactoring

	#!/bin/sh


	# this script does absolutely ZERO error checking. however, it worked
	# for me on a RHEL 6.3 machine on 2012-08-08. clearly, the version numbers
	# and/or URLs should be made variables. cheers, [email protected]
