I'm teaming up with a guy who has no programming experience. We're using a tool to make our game (RPG Maker) that has an event-based system that allows you to do pretty much everything you want. They have a GUI and a simple text editor for events.My friend has no programming experience. None. I need him to understand basic stuff, like control flow (if/else, do/while), variables/constants, etc. What can I use to teach him this, bearing in mind that I don't care about specific language syntax?Ideally, I'm looking for a programming book that talks about these ideas (perhaps visually) and doesn't care much about code. Does something like this exist? My google-fu failed me.

Teaching Programming Concepts Without a Specific Language

language agnostic

One of the Learn X the Hard Way books might be a good way to go. In particular Learn Ruby the Hard Way is an interesting one. It gives tutorials that your friend can follow and learn some programming and just use one of the interactive Ruby terminals to work the tutorials. He will have also learned a useful language when he is done.

My company provides managed services to a lot of its clients. Our customers typically uses following monitoring tools to monitor their servers/webapps:OpsViewNagiosPingdomCustom shell scriptsWhenever any issue is found, an alert mail comes to our Ops team so that they act upon rectifying the issue.As we manage thousands of servers, our Ops teams' inbox is flooded with email alerts all the time. Even a single issue which has a cascading effect, can trigger 20-30 emails.Now, what I want to do is to implement a system which will be able to extract important features out of an alert email - like server IP address, type of problem, severity of problem etc. and also classify the emails into proper category, like CPU-Load-Customer1-Server2, MySQL-Replication-Customer2-DBServer3 etc. We will then have a pre-defined set of debugging steps for each category, in order to help the Ops team to rectify the problem faster. Also, the feature extractor will provide input data to the team for a problem.So far I have been able to train NaiveBayesClassifier with supervised learning techniques i.e. labeled training data(cluster data), and able to classify new unseen emails into its proper cluster/category. As the emails are based on certain templates, the accuracy of the classifier is very high. But we also get alert emails from custom scripts, which may not follow the templates. So, instead of doing supervised learning, I want to try out unsupervised learning for the same. I am looking into KMeans clustering. But again the problem is, we won't know the number of clusters beforehand. So, which algorithm will be best for this use case? Right now I am using Python's TextBlob library for classification.Also, for feature extraction out of an alert email, I am looking into NLTK (http://www.nltk.org/book/ch07.html) library. I tried it out, but it seems to work on proper English paragraphs/texts well, however, for alert emails, it extracted a lot of unnecessary features. Is there already any existing solution for the same? If not, what will be the best way to implement the same? Which library, which algorithm?PS: I am not a Data Scientist.Sample emails: PROBLEM: CRITICAL - Customer1_PROD - Customer1_PROD_SLAVE_DB_01 - CPU Load Avg Service: CPU Load Avg Host: Customer1_PROD_SLAVE_DB_01 Alias: Customer1_PROD_SLAVE_DB_01 Address: 10.10.0.100 Host Group Hierarchy: Opsview > Customer1 - BIG C > Customer1_PROD State: CRITICAL Date & Time: Sat Oct 4 07:02:06 UTC 2014 Additional Information: CRITICAL - load average: 41.46, 40.69, 37.91RECOVERY: OK - Customer1_PROD - Customer1_PROD_SLAVE_DB_01 - CPU Load Avg Service: CPU Load Avg Host: Customer1_PROD_SLAVE_DB_01 Alias: Customer1_PROD_SLAVE_DB_01 Address: 10.1.1.100 Host Group Hierarchy: Opsview > Customer1 - BIG C > Customer1_PROD State: OK Date & Time: Sat Oct 4 07:52:05 UTC 2014 Additional Information: OK - load average: 0.36, 0.23, 4.83PROBLEM: CRITICAL - Customer1_PROD - Customer1_PROD_SLAVE_DB_01 - CPU Load Avg Service: CPU Load Avg Host: Customer1_PROD_SLAVE_DB_01 Alias: Customer1_PROD_SLAVE_DB_01 Address: 10.100.10.10 Host Group Hierarchy: Opsview > Customer1 - BIG C > Customer1_PROD State: CRITICAL Date & Time: Sat Oct 4 09:29:05 UTC 2014 Additional Information: CRITICAL - load average: 29.59, 26.50, 18.49Classifier code:(format of csv - email, <disk/cpu/memory/mysql>) from textblob import TextBlobfrom textblob.classifiers import NaiveBayesClassifierimport csvtrain = []with open('cpu.txt', 'r') as csvfile: reader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=',', quotechar='') for row in reader: tup = unicode(row[0], ISO-8859-1), row[1] train.append(tup)// this can be done in a loop, but for the time being let it bewith open('memory.txt', 'r') as csvfile: reader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=',', quotechar='') for row in reader: tup = unicode(row[0], ISO-8859-1), row[1] train.append(tup)with open('disk.txt', 'r') as csvfile: reader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=',', quotechar='') for row in reader: tup = unicode(row[0], ISO-8859-1), row[1] train.append(tup)with open('mysql.txt', 'r') as csvfile: reader = csv.reader(csvfile, delimiter=',', quotechar='') for row in reader: tup = unicode(row[0], ISO-8859-1), row[1] train.append(tup)cl = NaiveBayesClassifier(train)cl.classify(email)Feature extractor code taken from: https://gist.github.com/shlomibabluki/5539628Please let me know if any more information is required here.Thanks in advance.

I'm having this weird issue with my Domain. My domain is saoo.eu hosted on HostZilla.The issue is that whenever I open an HTML/PHP file it automatically downloads it instead of opening it into the browser. Example the saoo.eu/test.html page. Same thing happens with the index.html file. What is going on?Also if I want an PHP code ran into an HTML file I have to add an .htaccess file. But it doesn't seem to work. Tested it before.

Domain files download upon opening

php;html

The server is possibly missing this apache modDoes your browser ask if you want to download the php file instead of displaying it? If Apache is not actually parsing the php after you restarted it, install libapache2-mod-php5. It is installed when you install the php5 package, but may have been removed inadvertently by packages which need to run a different version of php.If sudo a2enmod php5 returns $ This module does not exist!, you should purge (not just remove) the libapache2-mod-php5 package and reinstall it.https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP

On Windows, x64 versions of the OS can run both x86 and x64 binaries.However, x86 Windows can only run x86 binaries. Even if the underlying CPU is 64-bit capable, it cannot run x64 binaries.Is the situation with x86 / x64 binary compatibility on Linux the same? Or is there more (or less) compatibility?

Is there a more readable way to do the same transformations in Lodash?var templates = { fullRenderV80: { stuff: stuff, screenshots: [ { device: iPhone 6, position: 1 }, { device: Watch, position: 2 } ] }, fullRenderV70: { stuff: stuff, screenshots: [ { device: iPhone 6, position: 1 }, { device: iPad, position: 2 } ] }}var transformedData = _.groupBy(_.map(templates, 'screenshots'), function(screenshotsArray) { return _.reduce(screenshotsArray, function(templateDevicesName, screenshot) { return templateDevicesName.concat(screenshot.device) }, []).join(' + ')})// transformedData is this://{// iPhone 6 + Watch: [// [// {// device: iPhone 6,// position: 1// },// {// device: Watch,// position: 2// }// ]// ],// iPhone 6 + iPad: [// [// {// device: iPhone 6,// position: 1// },// {// device: iPad,// position: 2// }// ]// ]//}

Form classes are intended (IMO) for submitted data against rules. For example: are passwords equal, is end date later than start date. submitted data--->|Form|Is it okay for Form classes to validate submitted data against data retrieved from a database as well? This seems like a responsibility issue, the Form class should responsible for validating and cleaning the submission alone, and checking against the DB belongs outside the class.submitted data--->|Form|<---data from DBHere is my example in WTForms in Python: it checks if the user id is an integer, then queries the DB to verify that it exists.class ClientForm(Form): name = StringField(validators=[DataRequired(message=Invalid value)]) user = IntegerField(validators=[DataRequired(message=Invalid value)]) zone = IntegerField(validators=[AnyOf([i[0] for i in ZONES], message=Invalid value)]) #validate user as real def validate_user(form, field): user = db.session.query(User).filter(User.id==form.user.data).first() if not user: raise ValidationError('Invalid user')The upside of adding this check to the form is convenience, WTForms handles all aspects of errors, even rendering them:form = ClientForm(post_data)if not form.validate(): # render the form again with errors highlighted return render(client_registration_form.html, form=form)else: return render(success.html)

Is it OK to use (WTF) forms to validate against stuff from DB?

I've just upgraded my Debian Linux (Wheezy) to a 64 bit kernel, as well as user mode binaries, in an attempt to make use of the 4GB of memory in the system without PAE.Exchanging the kernel and packages seems to have gone fine, but I'm not getting the expected result:mymachine:~# dmesg | grep Memory[ 0.000000] Memory: 2007644k/2062784k available (3494k kernel code, 452k absent, 54688k reserved, 3042k data, 476k init)mymachine:~# uname -mx86_64What could be causing this?

I have a large 16TB raid file server that has a bad hard drive and it won't rebuilt. I'm able to access the file system with a live CD but I'm just wondering whats the best and quickest way to transfer files to another linux server. The server is running centos 7 and I'm connected to it via KVM.I have had the datacenter set-up a new server identical to the current on beside this one and they are connected via their second Ethernet ports.I read about Samba but I'm not sure if this is the best way. I've used rsync in the past for this type of process but perhaps there's a better solution.Also, how can I direct the transfer process to use the second ethernet port? This is my first time doing such a job.Thanks in advance.

In semiconductor simulation, it is common that the equations are scaled so they have normalised values. For example, in extreme cases electron density in semiconductors can vary over 18 order of magnitude, and electric field can change shapely, over 6 (or more) orders of magnitude.However, the papers never really give a reason for doing this. Personally I am happy dealing with equations in real units, is there any numerical advantage to do this, is it impossible otherwise? I thought with double precision there would be enough digits to cope with these fluctuations.Both answers are very useful, thanks very much!

Is variable scaling essential when solving some PDE problems numerically?

pde;condition number;scaling

Solving a (linear) PDE consists in discretizing the equation to yield a linear system, which is then solved by a linear solver whose convergence (rate) depends on the condition number of the matrix. Scaling the variables often reduces this condition number, thus improving convergence. (This basically amounts to applying a diagonal preconditioner, see Nicholas Higham's Accuracy and Stability of Numerical Algorithms.)Solving nonlinear PDEs in addition requires a method for solving nonlinear equations such as Newton's method, where the scaling can also influence convergence.Since normalizing everything usually takes very little effort, it is almost always a good idea.

I've only worked at once place since graduating my CS degree. This is a pretty basic architecture question but i don't know any better since i've only worked at one place. Where i work we maintain a large number of code tables. For example say you have a Sales/Order system and you have an Order Status. We would maintain an order status table that would look like the following:OrderStatus: OrderStatusId(PK TinyInt) OrderStatusDesc(VarChar(50)) 1 Created 2 Submitted 3 Processing4 Canceled5 Verified6 CompleteWe then create an enumeration off each code table. For example:Public Enum TblSalesOrderStatus eosCreated = 1 eosSubmitted = 2 eosProcess = 3 eosCanceled = 4 eosVerified = 5 eosComplete = 6End EnumThen in our code we have code like the following:If OrderStatus = eosCreated OrElse OrderStatus = eosSubmitted Then ...do some workEnd ifOn every screen we create we have the id's stored in the controls (like comboboxes). I don't know something about this has always made me think its bad design. Maybe i'm wrong though. Especially when i started getting into REST design. i wanted to pass the Ids rather than descriptions. Of course this doesn't seem right since i'd be the only one i've ever seen pass those type of Ids in a REST service. So is this bad design?Edit:Trying to make thing a little clearer. Are Code Tables are only stored in two places: The Enum + The Database. When we need a new Id when email our database staff which creates a new code table value for us and emails us back the Id. When then put the new value into our enumerations. We never had problems with it getting out of sync but if we have needed either delete values or change them in the past (adding is easy) which has been pain because everything in the system had to be recompiled. We have went down the route of trying to make things semi-dynamic (which doesn't work out in every case but helps in some). There are tons of examples but a simple example is we have a IsVisible flag in some of the code tables. If we ever want to obsolete or make one of the values not selectable then we set the IsVisible flag = 0. They prefer this compared to having to change code/compile/deploy. Thinking about it i think it would be preferable to have it in buisness logic and have test around it (which we don't :-( ) depending on your prospective.

What you do is: Crate a ssh connection from the raspi to the gateway, and forward the *:10110 from the gateway to 127.0.0.1:22 on the raspi. Then you connect to port 10110@localhost, which may in some configurations use the ip6-address (::1) which has no tunnel behind it. sshd then closes the connection.Try ssh -4 -p10110 pi@localhostThis should get you one step further.If you have problems finding the correct key (ssh stops after a certain amount of checked keys) then disable pubkeyauth with ssh -oPubkeyAuthentication=no -4 -p10110 pi@localhost

I can't boot from the external hdd, no live usbs, can't get to bios, and when I type in ls, it comes back with only (hd0). I have found articles that tell how to fix either just the ls problem, or just the boot error problem, but none of them will let me fix all of them. Ask ubuntu is telling me that this is off topic on their site. At this point, I don't think that I really need the files on the computer, but just an operating system on it. Either the elementary, or some way to get back to windows 8. If anyone can help me just install any kind of os on it, I would be overjoyed. The computer is an Asus X502C. When I put in find /boot/vmlinuz, it just says that find is an unknown command.

Absolutely. You can write in C and C++, as well as Objective-C. Your algorithms can easily be in straight C++.

I am going through the CodingBat exercises for Java. Here is the task I have just completed:Given a string, return the sum of the numbers appearing in the string, ignoring all other characters. A number is a series of 1 or more digit chars in a row.And here is my code:public int sumNumbers(String str){ int total = 0; for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) { if (Character.isDigit(str.charAt(i))) { StringBuilder appendNums = new StringBuilder(); appendNums.append(str.charAt(i)); for (int j = i+1; j < str.length(); j++) { if (Character.isDigit(str.charAt(j))) { appendNums.append(str.charAt(j)); } else { break; } } String appendNums2String = appendNums.toString(); total += Integer.parseInt(appendNums2String); i += appendNums2String.length()-1; } } return total;}The questions I have are:Are there any parts of this code you find to be poor practise orpoor quality?Is it acceptable to append one digit before the (conditional) digits that proceed it, or should I be identifying the entire blockfirst, and then append?What is a more concise way of solving this?For this question I relied heavily on Eclipse's debugger until I got it right. Is this good or bad practise?Is it a better idea to use a while loop instead of the second for loop, because the characters tested are relative to i rather than the string's length? (I played around with this but couldn't figure it out.)

Learning to use, and using the debugger are fantastic ideas. It is a valuable skill that will serve you well. Understanding how your code works (and breaks) is very valuable, and the debugger helps you through there.The remainder of your specific questions are somewhat linked to your actual implementation, and I am going to suggest that your implementation would be simpler with a String split operation. The specification says:Given a string, return the sum of the numbers appearing in the string, ignoring all other characters. A number is a series of 1 or more digit chars in a row.Taking this literally, I would code this up as a Regular expresison system matching digits. Something like:private static final Pattern NUMBERS = Pattern.compile([0-9]+);private static int digitSum(String s) { Matcher matcher = NUMBERS.matcher(s); int sum = 0; while (matcher.find()) { sum += Integer.parseInt(matcher.group()); } return sum;}The Pattern says Look in the string for a sequence of digits.The method loops through all digit sequences, converts them to integers, and totals them.

I'm looking for a very simple (at first sight) CommandBus, which will handle some ICommand publication. The CommandBus implementation will find the appropriate IHandler to Execute the Command and then Notify some possible IObservers.My first step is to make it work, I've chosen to use a synchronous dependency injection pattern which I may extends in the future, maybe using a real ServiceBus with some asynchronous capability.Here is the abstract definition:public interface ICommandBus{ TResult Publish<TCommand, TResult>(TCommand command) where TResult : ICommandResult where TCommand : ICommand<TResult>;}public interface ICommand<T> where T : ICommandResult{ int Id_User { get; }}public interface ICommandResult{ bool Success { get; } Exception Error { get; } ICollection<ValidationRule> BrokenRules { get; }}public interface ICommandHandler<TCommand, TResult> where TCommand : ICommand<TResult> where TResult : ICommandResult{ TResult Execute(TCommand command);}public interface ICommandObserver<TCommand, TResult> where TCommand : ICommand<TResult> where TResult : ICommandResult{ void Trigger(TCommand command, TResult result);}And here is the CommandBus implementation (using Structuremap as the DI)public class CommandBus : ICommandBus{ private readonly IContainer m_container; public CommandBus(IContainer container) { m_container = container; } public TResult Publish<TCommand, TResult>(TCommand command) where TResult : ICommandResult where TCommand : ICommand<TResult> { using (MiniProfiler.Current.Step(CommandBus.Publish)) { var handler = m_container.GetInstance<ICommandHandler<TCommand, TResult>>(); var observers = m_container.GetAllInstances<ICommandObserver<TCommand, TResult>>(); var result = handler.Execute(command); foreach (var observer in observers) observer.Trigger(command, result); return result; } }}How to use:public class CreateItemCommand: ICommand<CreateItemResult>{ public string Name { get; private set; }}public class CreateItemResult: ICommandResult{ public bool Success { get; private set; }}var command = new CreateItemCommand();var result = commandBus.Publish<CreateItemCommand, CreateItemResult>(command);What do you think about this pattern? Do you think it will be easy to upgrade? I'm afraid it can be an obvious bottleneck in my application...Edit: I just want to past a link to my question about this pattern, in order to simplify all the Generics...

I have been working on an open source software. The software is in its final stages of testing and I will soon publish it under a CC license. I would like to release it under the least strict license (to provide users full access to do whatever they wish to it).My question:Is the CC-BY license the best license to use if I want to release it under no conditions or rules?

Is CC-BY the least strict CC license for my open source project?

licensing;cc by

The use of Creative Commons licenses for software is not recommended. The CC licenses do not address concerns specific to software (such as the source code/object code relationship, or patent issues), and are incompatible with most open-source software licenses.If you want to license your software with no conditions or rules, you probably want either:The Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication (which is suitable for use with software)The Do What The Fuck You Want To Public LicenseReleasing into the public domain has the problem that not all jurisdictions permit you to simply abandon your copyright to a work; to get around this, CC-0 and WTFPL both retain copyright while relinquishing all rights to the greatest extent permissible by law; of the two, CC-0 is probably the better written.If you want to retain the requirement of being attributed for your work, you want one of the highly-permissive licenses such as the three-clause BSD license or the MIT license. These are similar to CC-BY, but are designed for the needs of software.

The current default behavior of Docker is COW (copy on write), aka allocate on write. This relies on free space in a drive in order to write to disk.In contrast - with memory, unreferenced files are left available, to be overwritten if something else is needed, or re-linked in constant time if they are needed once again.We'd like to implement a similar mechanism for caching remote files on a local disk. That is, there would be a set location for files which would be allowed to be overwritten if the space was needed, or linked if the files themselves were needed.Such a piece of software would ideally hook in to the FS driver when it tries do a write, or when it reports space available. It is my assumption that a polling method would be insufficient, as a piece of software may allocate arbitrary large files at any time.Does anything like this exist already in the open source world? If not, is it possible? Are there major impediments? What is a good way to get started?

Instead of unintelligible names and acronyms for new products and services, is there any other way of naming software that could also say what it is and what it does?For example, instead of naming a software Abricudabrah or similar which typically means nothing and says nothing about what it does, could there be a naming scheme for instance <what it does>.<what it is>.<id> e.g.A means databaseB means web serverC means a browser plug-inand then a software could be named A.java.H2 and then you would know that the H2 product is a database in Java and likewise.

I have a site which was temporarily available at both example.com and www.example.com. All traffic to example.com is now redirected to www.example.com, however during the brief period that the site was available at the naked domain, Google indexed it. So Google now has two versions of every page indexed:www.example.comwww.example.com/about_uswww.example.com/products/something...and example.comexample.com/about_usexample.com/products/something...For obvious reasons, this is a bad situation, so how can I best resolve it? Should I request removal of these pages from the index? There is still content at these URLs, but they now redirect to the www subdomain equivalent.The site has many hundreds of pages, but the only way I can see to request removal is via the Remove outdated content screen in Webmaster Tools, one URL at a time.How can I request removal of an entire domain (ie. the naked domain) without it effecting the true site located at the www subdomain? Is this the correct strategy given that all the naked domains now redirect to their www equivalent?

Google Webmaster Tools has a setting for it.Sign in to Webmaster ToolsAdd, verify, and select your websiteUse the gear icon and select Site SettingsFrom Preferred Domain, select Display URLs as www.example.comYour 301 redirect solution is correct, but it may take Googlebot a couple weeks to index your site fully and change the search results. I'd expect that the setting in Webmaster tools would take effect in a couple days at the most.I also wouldn't worry too much about within-site canonicalization these days. Google and Googlebot are much better about detecting duplicate content caused by:www vs naked domain/ vs /index.htmldirectory/ vs no trailing slashThe only time that I would make it my top priority to fix onsite canonicalization issues is if they prevented Googlebot from crawling the site fully. For example having session id parameters in the URL such that Googlebot got a different URL every time it visited the page.10 years ago, Google didn't do a great job of dealing with the duplicate content caused by these issues. You might see:Duplicate results in the SERPsPenalities for duplicate contentPageRank split between two versions of the same pageToday when Google finds duplicate content like this they generally just choose one of the two URLs and treat all links as if they were to that URL. It doesn't cause penalties. It doesn't cause a loss of rankings. It doesn't cause any problems other than users seeing a form of the URL that you might not prefer. See: What is duplicate content and how can I avoid being penalized for it on my site?

How to split the subdirectories of a directory in n parts?

In the first place, you're asking for a mathematical impossibility, but I'll overlook it.

That is, it does so if there is no file or directory in the current directory named split

I work in a small startup with two front end developers and one designer. Currently the process starts with the designer sending a png file with the whole page design and assets if needed. My task as front end developer is to convert it to a HTML/CSS page. My work flow currently looks like this:Lay out the distinct parts using html elements.Style each element very roughly (floats, minimal fonts and padding) so I can modify it using inspection.Using Chrome Developer Tools (inspect) add/change css attributes while updating the css file.Refresh the page after X amount of changesUse Pixel Perfect to refine the design more.Sit with the designer to make last adjustments.Inferring the paddings, margins, font sizes using trial and error takes a lot of time and I feel the process could become more efficient but not sure how to improve it. Using PSD files is not an option since buying Photoshop for each developer is currently not considered. Design guide is also not available since design is still evolving and new features are introduced.Ideas for improving the process above and sharing how the process looks like in your company will be great.

There is always a way for application in topics related to theoretical computer science. But textbooks and undergraduate courses usually don't explain the reason that automata theory is an important topic and whether it still has applications in practice. Therefore undergraduate students might have trouble in understanding the importance of automata theory and might think it is not of any practical use anymore.Is automata theory still useful in practice?Should it be part of undergraduate CS curriculum?

Regular expressions form the heart of these tools.You'll be surprised how much coding you can avoid by principled use of regular expressions - in practical projects, like an email server.If you're a CS major, you'll definitely be writing a compiler/interpreter for a (at least a small) language. If you've ever tried this task before and got stuck, you'll appreciate how much a little theory (aka context free grammars) can help you. This theory has made a once impossible task into something that can be completed over a weekend.

On a related note, it is the job of the university not to prepare you for the next 5 years of your life, but to prepare you for the next 50. The only thing they can do in this regard is to help you think - think of automata theory as one of those courses.

Add tab in front of each line

normal mode

As Sato mentioned in comments, :help v_> will show you help for the best tool you can use for this. >> in normal mode will indent the current line; >3> will indent the current line and the following two lines; << will decrease indentation.Another feature that works will in combination with > can be found at :help text-objects. (aB, a[, and so on.) For example in C-style code that uses curly braces, >aB or >iB to indent the current block including curly braces, or only indent the lines between the curly braces, respectively. For Python code, >ap (indent a paragraph) may be more useful, but using visual mode to select the lines as described in :help v_> is even more adjustable.For the general answer to How to add a character/some text at the beginning of each line? i.e., when you want to insert something other than tabs or spaces, there are a couple ways::%normal Itext to insert will prepend text to insert to every line in the file. % can be replaced with any range you like. (See :help range and also :help :normal)Or you can use Ctrlvto enter blockwise-visual mode, use j and k to select a column of characters, then I (capital) to insert text at that point in all selected lines. (It will only be visible in all the lines after you Esc and then make another motion of any sort.) This has the advantage that you can enter text at ANY point in the line, not only at the beginning.

Part of my program is a variable-sized set of Star Systems randomly linked by Warp Points. I have an A* algorithm working rather well in the grid, but the random warp point links mean that even though the systems have X,Y coordinates for where they're located on a galactic map, a system at 2,3 isn't always linked directly to a system at 2,4 and so the shortest path may actually lead away from the target before it heads back towards it. I think this limitation eliminates A* since there's almost no way to get a good heuristic figured out.What I've done instead is a recursive node search (I believe this specific pattern is a Depth-First Search), and while it gets the job done, it also evaluates every possible path in the entire network of systems and warp points, so I'm worried it will run very slowly on larger sets of systems. My test data is 11 systems with 1-4 warp points each, and it averages over 700 node recursions for any non-adjacent path.My knowledge of search/pathfinding algorithms is limited, but surely there's a way to not search every single node without needing to calculate a heuristic, or at least is there a heuristic here I'm not seeing?Here's my code so far:private int getNextSystem(StarSystem currentSystem, StarSystem targetSystem, List<StarSystem> pathVisited){ // If we're in the target system, stop recursion and // start counting backwards for comparison to other paths if (currentSystem == targetSystem) return 0; // Arbitrary number higher than maximum count of StarSystems int countOfJumps = 99; StarSystem bestSystem = currentSystem; foreach (StarSystem system in currentSystem.GetConnectedStarSystems() .Where(f=>!pathVisited.Contains(f))) { // I re-create the path list for each node-path so // that it doesn't modify the source list by reference // and mess up other node-paths List<StarSystem> newPath = new List<StarSystem>(); foreach (StarSystem s in pathVisited) newPath.Add(s); newPath.Add(system); // recursive call until current == target int jumps = getNextSystem(system, targetSystem, newPath); // changes only if this is better than previously found if (jumps < countOfJumps) { countOfJumps = jumps; bestSystem = system; } } // returns 100 if current path is a dead-end return countOfJumps + 1;}

Efficient pathfinding without heuristics?

c#;recursion;search;pathfinding

Complete and Incomplete AlgorithmsSearch algorithms can be classed into two categories: complete and incomplete. A complete algorithm will always succeed in finding what your searching for. And not surprisingly an incomplete algorithm may not always find your target node.For arbitrary connected graphs, without any a priori knowledge of the graph topology a complete algorithm may be forced to visit all nodes. But may find your sought for node before visiting all nodes. A* is a complete best-first method with a heuristic to try to avoid searching unlikely parts of the graph unless absolutely necessary.So unfortunately you can not guarantee that you will never visit all nodes whatever algorithm you choose. But you can reduce the likelihood of that happening.Without pre-processingIf you cannot consider pre-processing your graph then you're stuck with a myriad of on-line algorithms such as depth-first, breadth-first, A* and greedy-best-first. Out of the bunch I'd bet on A* in most cases if the heuristic is even half good and the graphs are non-trivial.If you expect all routes to be short, a breadth-first algorithm with cycle detection and duplicate node removal may outperform A* with a poor heuristic. I wouldn't bet on it though, you need to evaluate.With pre-processingIn your case I'd see if I could pre-process the graph, even if you need to repeatedly re-do the pre-processing when the graph changes as long as you do sufficiently many searches between pre-processing it would be worth it.You should look up Floyd-Warshall (or some derivative) and calculate the pairwise cost/distance/jumps between all nodes and use this table as a heuristic for your A*. This heuristic will not only be admissible, it will be exact and your A* search will complete in no-time.Unless you of course modify the algorithm to store all pairwise routes as they are detected in a matrix of vectors, then you have O(1) run time at the cost of memory.

Installation of YouCompleteMe

plugin you complete me

After some tries, I finally find out what's going on with my installation of vim-youcompleteme, and I decided to answer my own question.First, building from source is not a good idea, unless you have to do it (just like my non-python support vim). Installing pre-built packages is always a good idea and a good starting point.Second, the dependencies are important. When having the package installed and plugin installed by vam(vim-addon-manager), you need to solve the problems showing on the start of vim. For me, the main problem is the requests and requests_futures. After figuring it out, just use pip to install it and done!By the way, thank you for those guys have helped me! You guys give some good advice and hints!

Suppose I have to solve the 2-D heat equation in a rectangular domain using the finite difference method, for the boundary conditions say:$T_1$ is the temperature of the right side of the rectangle,$T_2$ is the temperature of the top side,$T_3$ is the temperature of the left side,and $T_4$ is the temperature at the bottom. T2 _______________ | |T3 | |T1 | | |_______________| T4at the vertices points of the rectangle, how to set the boundary conditions? do I need to take the average value of the two temperatures?Regards

How to set the temperature at the vertices points for a rectangular domain?

finite difference

I believe you cannot apply two boundary conditions at the same point. You need to choose between T2 and T3 for the top-left point for instance. The average might be acceptable but I'm not sure of the physical meaning though.Anyway, with a fine discretization, it should not be a problem since the consequence of this choice will be insignificant on the solution.

I am trying to make a glow shader using separable gaussian blurring.I have recently been inspired by the short youtube video computer color is broken and I have messed with it with color interpolation and boy his suggestion is beautiful!A big thing the video talks about is that this principal should be applied to blurring, however I am pretty confused. I don't really know what to square when and what to sqrt when when values are being added. My current theory is each texture sample for the gaussian blur gets raised by the power of two weighted with a bell curve and added to a sum like usual. At the end the sum is square rooted, but i'm not sure if that is correct. Could someone please confirm? Would this make an appreciable difference that made things worth it?

Applying correct light physics to gaussian blur formulas for glow

color science;blur;gamma

Yes, your theory is correct. A gamma-correct blur entails converting the input pixels to linear color space, performing the blur weighting and accumulation in that space, and then converting back to gamma space at the end.As noted in the comments, the actual transform is not literally squaring and square-rooting, that's just an approximation (and not that good of one). For the true sRGB gamma transform, see the equations in this Wikipedia article (look down the page for the equations involving $C_\text{srgb}$ and $C_\text{linear}$).By the way, some visual comparisons of gamma-correct and gamma-incorrect blurs can be found on this page by Elle Stone, which shows why this whole thing matters.

I'm considering installing Wordpress at example.com/blog. However, example.com functions mainly as a forum/bulletin board, and thus has a user database. I'd like users of example.com to be able to login to the Wordpress install with their existing credentials. Is that in any way possible? This is further complicated by the fact that example.com is written in .NET and uses a Microsoft SQL Server database.

Is it possible for Wordpress to get user information from an existing, non-MySQL database?

I haven't tried it but this plugin seems to be what you need: External DB authentication.

In programming languages, closures are a popular and often desired feature. Wikipedia says (emphasis mine):In computer science, a closure (...) is a function together with a referencing environment for the non-local variables of that function. A closure allows a function to access variables outside its immediate lexical scope.So a closure is essentially a (anonymous?) function value which can use variables outside of its own scope. In my experience, this means it can access variables that are in scope at its definition point.In practice, the concept seems to be diverging, though, at least outside of functional programming. Different languages implement different semantics, there even seem to be wars of opinons on. Many programmers do not seem to know what closures are, viewing them as little more than anonymous functions.Also, there seem to exist major hurdles when implementing closures. Most notable, Java 7 was supposed to include them but the feature was pushed back to a future release.Why are closures so hard (to understand and) to realise? This is too broad and vague a question, so let me focus it more with these interconnected questions: Are there problems with expressing closures in common semantic formalisms (small-step, big-step, ...)? Are existing type systems not suited for closures and can not be extended easily?Is it problematic to bring closures in line with a traditional, stack-based procedure translation?Note that the question relates mostly to procedural, object-oriented and scripting languages in general. As far as I know, functional languages do not have any problems.

Problems Implementing Closures in Non-functional Settings

programming languages;semantics

May I direct you to the Funarg problem wikipedia page? At least this is how the compiler people used to reference the closure implementing problem.So a closure is essentially a (anonymous?) function value which can use variables outside of its own scope. In my experience, this means it can access variables that are in scope at its definition point.While this definition makes sense, it does not help describe the problem of implementing first-class functions in a traditional runtime-stack based language. When it comes to implementation issues, first class functions can be roughly divided into two classes:Local variables in the functions are never used after the function returns.Local variables can be used after the function returns.The first case (downwards funargs) is not that hard to implement and can be found on even the older procedural languages, like Algol, C and Pascal. C kind of skirts the issue, since it does not allow nested functions but Algol and Pascal do the necessary bookkeeping to allow inner functions to reference the stack variables of the outer function.The second case (upwards funargs), on the other hand, requires activation records to be saved outside the stack, in the heap. This means that it is very easy to leak memory resources unless the language runtime includes a garbage collector. While almost everything is garbage collected today, requiring one is still a significant design decision and was even more so some time ago.As for the particular example of Java, if I remember correctly, the main issue was not actually being able to implement closures, but how to introduce them to the language in a way that was not redundant with existing features (like anonymous inner classes) and that did not clash with existing features (like checked exceptions - a problem that is not trivia l to solve and that most people don't think of at first).I can also think of other things that make first class functions less trivial to implement, such as deciding what to do with magical variables such as this, self or super and how to interact with existing control flow operators, such as break and return (do we want to allow for non-local returns or not?). But in the end, the recent popularity of first-class functions seems to indicate that languages that don't have them mostly do so for historical reasons or due to some significant design decision early on.

What yum repository provides gstreamer-plugins-ugly (or/and other gstreamer plugins) for Red Hat Linux 6? And do repositories for CentOS and Fedora suit for Red Hat?Reason of this question is that explicit query of RHEL repositories in Google leads to CentOS and Fedora repositories but as far as I know problems with binary compatibility between same applications in different Linux distributions may occur. Is that correct?

Script to summarize Reddit posts over the past month

python;reddit

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have a function with no arguments that modifies a global object. Your init_reddit function is better than your get_reddit function because of this.IMHO you should rethink why you have a function that has more comments than code in it. There may be a more idiomatic way to express that. (see find_piece_matching_title, format_title)Classes are good; consider making a Reddit class that either inherits from praw.Reddit or has your reddit instance as a member variable. You could put search_for_submissions and filter_submissions in there.Your parse_piece, parse_pieces, get_pieces_from_jam, etc. functions should be a part of your Piece or Jam objects. If you're using objects to contain your data, it makes sense to have functions manipulating that data as methods.Overall, I see in your code a whole bunch of top-level functions and objects without a clear indication of how they're supposed to work together. The difficult part in coding is not necessarily writing the individual pieces, but in figuring out the simplest (least complected) way for them to interact.

Previous iteration.You know, I think this is the fastest I've ever pushed out an update to anything. This is Version 2 of my Brainf**k to Ruby converter, and the generated code looks... Well, like Brainf**k, converted directly to Ruby, with no attempt at making it more readable.I'm looking for any tips on making things more idiomatic, both in the generator and generated code. The nest if/cases really bug me, but I'm not quite sure how to get rid of them, especially since just two characters are blindly replaced.

You're correct that nesting a case in an elsif ladder is a bit clunky here, but the two things that jump out at me as making the code difficult to comprehend are: 1) we have to know everything that's going on with the Regexp passed to scan() in order to figure out the intent of the if clauses, and 2) the variable string is not a String, but an Array.You can remove the capture groups from your Regexp to just get an Array of Strings back from scan() (instead of an Array of Arrays of Strings), and figure out what exactly was matched by looking at the strings themselves - which means you don't need a nested case anymore, and makes it a little more obvious what scan() is doing without having to actually parse its argument.Like this:# example.rbcode = '--+++.,,'code.scan(/\++|\-+|[.,]/).map { |str| case str[0] when '+' Plus signs: #{str.length} when '-' Minus signs: #{str.length} when '.' 'Dot!' when ',' 'Comma!' end}.each {|ll| puts ll}Produces:$ ruby example.rb Minus signs: 2Plus signs: 3Dot!Comma!Comma!

To help with setting up multi-monitor X I'm using a simple script to get screen resolution information using xrandr. This was working fine until I tried attaching an amplifier to attempt to use HDMI audio output. Now the xrandr output contains extraneous information about a monitor which is not present. Is there some way to avoid xrandr detecting this device as another monitor? The device is an Onkyo TX-NR509.An obvious workaround is to detach the amplifier every time I start X.

As far as I can tell, IPC through shared memory is fastest, but the drawback is that when one process introduces memory corruption (stack/heap corruption due to programming errors) then all bets are off and all processes accessing it might get affected.What is the situation with IPC using sockets or named pipes? If a corrupted process communicates with healthy processes through pipes/sockets, can other processes also get affected, or is there some kind of data validation in place? For example, would passing an open file descriptor to a potentially corrupted process be safer than using shared files/memory?

Is using POSIX pipes/sockets for IPC memory-safe?

Fix the path so it's correct. Based on your comment it's likely to be /root/snmp_codes/snmp/snmpstats.py.You can also modify the command so that it captures stderr as well as stdout like this (the 2>&1 attaches stderr to stdout so you get both written to the logfile.log):* * * * * /root/snmp_codes/snmp/snmpstats.py -f file -g > logfile.log 2>&1

Both the removeClass and addClass methods will accept a space-separated list of class names to add/remove, and both can be chained.You can cache the selector so you don't have to repeatedly search the DOM.And since you remove the same three classes in each branch of execution, you can move that outside of the if/else if/else:var bkf = $(.bkf).removeClass(label-success label-warning label-important);if (bodyPercent >= successRatio) { bkf.addClass(label-success);}else if (bodyPercent >= warningRatio) { bkf.addClass(label-warning);}else { bkf.addClass(label-important);}

You'll need to have an account with a payment processor company. If not PayPal, there are others. Moneris is one.Usually, your payment processing partner will send you an API which contains the code necessary to submit a payment. You use the API to make calls to the payment processor, but you don't submit raw HTTP requests to them.You'll might also want to look in to PCI Compliance.

When we do a find in linux, I am guessing the kernel will store the result into buffer/cache. Let say after an hour, some changes of the folder and files happened, so my question is, when we do the next find:i) Will the kernel get the wrong old result stored in buffer/cache ?ii) How does kernel know there already some changes of the folder and files and it can't use back the result from the buffer/cache ? Is it doing a comparison between the new result and old result ? Wouldn't this even take up more time ? If not, how the kernel achieve such intelligent choice ?iii) Do we ever need to worry about dropping the cache (i.e. : echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) to get the latest result of our operation let say find ? or there are some scenario where we need to do such thing ? (although I feel we shouldn't need to, but just want to make sure)iv) Let say there is a scenario where some cron script run a command (may be grep a very huge file) that causing to taken up most of the resource of the server. We kill that process and truncate that huge file. That cron job then run again after few minutes. Do we need to drop the buffer/cache in order to avoid the next grep getting the huge file content result stored in it to avoid it hang the server again ? (sorry if this question sound too silly to you)

OK, so I have six main sheets in question...Overall Team AssignmentsDesign Team AssignmentsMechanical Team AssignmentsProgramming Team AssignmentsCommunications Team AssignmentsMedia Team AssignmentsI want to take data from sheets two through six, from cells B3:D, and insert it into Overall Team Assignments in C3:E. I also want to sort it by the dates from column D.This seems like something that should be fairly simple with QUERY, but everything I try either throws an error or doesn't physically change anything.Here's the example spreadsheet that's uneditable, just in case something happens to the editable one.Here's the editable one for anyone that wants one to copy, or a playground to try your hand at.EDIT: This question was referenced, raising question as to whether or not my question was a duplicate. The difference being that I need to sort the data that is being queried as well (that is, sorted by a certain column within each sheet that is being queried from).EDIT2: From the reference in the previous edit, this...={filter(A:A, len(A:A)); filter(B:B, len(B:B)); filter(C:C, len(C:C))}is how to filter out and stack the results of the cells that I want. The problem being that I don't want one of the columns that seperates the first part of the data that I want from the second part. So if I grab the data in two seperate cells (one for the data before the column that I don't want and one for the data after said column) then I have no way to ensure that there isn't some issue with only some of the cells in each row being filled (on the spreadsheet that is being grabbed from) which would mean that if the formula removed empty cells, it could misalign rows in the transfer from one sheet to another. So I need the formula to not match up things from seperate rows when it cuts out empty space (i.e. it needs to make sure that the rows were not altered from one sheet to another).EDIT3: OK, now that I've finally had some time to work on this again, I've gotten the chance to try to use FILTER, but it can only grab a single row or column at a time. So that means that the results would be stacked up in each column without any way to sort said columns retroactively (after the data has been updated if something has changed, that is) other than manually. In short, FILTER won't work for what's being done.But I did figure out what will work. See my answer below.

Google Sheets querying and sorting data from multiple sheets

google spreadsheets

To sort a query you simply have to wrap it in SORT.=SORT( QUERY( {SheetOne!C3:F;SheetTwo!C3:F;SheetThree!F4:G;SheetFour!F4:G} ) , 1, TRUE)For example, the above formula takes the data from the sheets inside the query, and then sorts by ascending order from column 1.This also works well to solve the problem of row splitting, where some rows get split up if you use different queries to pull from rows you intend to keep uniform.

For that, you have to either:Check their public activity on their profile, orWatch a specific repo to get notifications for commits, etc.While I understand that you would get tons of notifications if every action was displayed in the news feed, I'd like that we should at least have the control on which kind of notifications I want to see in my feed.

I'm a bit perplexed about it - it isn't a redirect URL, but what is it then?Edit:I come to decision, that i've completely misformulated my question - sorry for that.I don't mean with my question, what are the senses of certain url parts, like rev=example etc. I'm rather interesting, why are in the log entry two kinds of url: one of them, the first, beginning with GET, and the second at the entry's end.I thought firstly its a kind of redirect - but no, the answer code is 200. So what mean two urls / paths in this log entry?

What means the part between the date and the server answer in Apaches log?

apache log files

The first URL should be the file that is access, while the second one is the referrer, aka the file/page that made the browser access the first URL.You can configure what shows up in your log files. Typically by modifying the 'LogFormat' lines in your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf More information about what information you can show: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_log_config.html

I am trying to solve this exercise. It is about reimplementing the map function in haskell for learning purpose. I found a solution which doesn't browse all the elements of the list (simple linked list, so accessing the last element will browse all the list) at each iteration, but I didn't found one which is tail recursive.accumulateRec :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]accumulateRec func [] = []accumulateRec func (h:t) = (func h) : accumulateRec func tIs there a way to implement map in a tail recursive way and without browsing all the list at each iteration ?PS: exercism.io is an awesome way to learn a new language.

Implementing map with tail recursion

haskell;recursion;map

Tail recursion is not a good idea in Haskell with list functions, because tail recursion prevents lazy evaluation from returning a partial result.But anyway, to answer your question, it is possible to write a reversed map function (like map except the order of elements is reversed) that is tail-recursive and does not go through the list each step. It maintain an accumulator which is the list of results so far (backwards), and for each new element in the input, it prepends the result to the accumulator (and that's why it's backwards).reverseMap :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]reverseMap func = helper [] where helper acc [] = acc helper acc (h:t) = helper (func h : acc) tOf course, since you got the results backwards, you need to reverse it again, and since reverse is also tail-recursive, the whole operation is tail-recursive.myMap :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]myMap func = helper [] where helper acc [] = reverse acc helper acc (h:t) = helper (func h : acc) t

As a solo developer, I think I'm using an Agile-like process, but I'd like to compare what I'm doing to real Agile and see if I can improve my own process.Is there a book out there that's the de-facto standard for describing best practices, methodologies, and other helpful information on Agile? What about that book makes it special?

Is there a canonical book on Agile?

agile;books

Is there a canonical book?There is the agile manifesto, but for a canonical book?No. There are lots of books out there.Specific book recommendations:Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices by Robert C. MartinAgile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices. This is focused on developer practices and coding and is a must read for any developer serious about agile software development. There is also a C# version of the book that he and his son Micah wrote, so if you are a .NET developer, that version might be the one for you.The art of Agile Development by James ShoreFor an insight into overall agile project practices look at The Art of Agile by James Shore & Shane Warden. It's focussed on XP practices (but that's really because XP is where all the specific developer practices are defined), but has a big picture focus on how Agile projects work.A great thing about this book is that James Shore is publishing the whole text on his website for free, so you can try before you buy.Practices of an Agile Developer: Working in the Real World by Subramaniam and HuntPractices of an Agile Developer: Working in the Real WorldScrum and XP from the Trenches by Henrik KnibergIt's a great book for getting a feel for how an agile team works, and it it's a very quick read (couple of hours). I give it to new staff in my organisation - technical and non-technical - and I've had consistently positive feedback.AmazonExtreme Programming Explained by Kent BeckProbably the oldest book I can remember which helped make Agile principles popular. Agile is fast becoming a buzz word in the world of Tech. I feel Extreme Programming (XP) is a good place to start before the term Agile just seems to lose meaning.AmazonAgile Estimating and Planning by Mike CohnFor the Agile process - look to Mike Cohn's Agile Estimating and Planning - bearing in mind that it's Scrum-centric.Cohn covers a lot of the basics as well as some of the things new Scrum teams often struggle with - estimation using Story Points vs. Ideal days, what do do if you fail a story in a sprint, when to re-estimate/size and when not to, etc.He also goes into some really interesting stuff that's mainly the domain of a Product Owner - things like how to assess and prioritize features, etc.The Art of Unit Testing by Roy OsheroveOsherove presents a very pragmatic approach to unit testing. Presents a good approach on how to refactor code to become more testable, how to look for seams, etc. It is a .Net centric book, however.AmazonThe Agile Samurai by Jonathan RasmussonJust purchased this myself and found it to be a refreshing look on how to get started with agile. Amazon Alistair Cockburns book on his Crystal methodologies is worth while reading - partly because it gives you an alternative the the usual Scrum methods, and partly because he was one of the original guys who came up with Agile in the first place, so I hope he know what he's talking about.Crystal is an interesting methodology as it scales from small teams to very large ones, he describes the changes required to make agile work in these different environments.Unsorted books mentionedAgile Adoption Patterns: A Roadmap to Organizational Success by Amr ElssamadisyAgile and Iterative Development: A Managers Guide by Craig LarmanAgile Estimating and Planning by Mike CohnAgile Project Management: Creating Innovative Products by Jim HighsmithAgile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great by Esther Derby and Diana LarsenAgile Software Development by Alistair CockburnAgile Software Development with Scrum by Ken Schwaber and Mike BeedleBecoming Agile: ...in an imperfect world by Greg Smith and Dr. Ahmed SidkyThe Business Value of Agile Software Methods: Maximizing Roi with Just-In-Time Processes and Documentation by David F.

I'm trying to set up a (.tk) website for a school project using 000WebHost, but at the same time I want to integrate CloudFlare DDoS protection into my website as well. The two ways to hook up a domain name to 000WebHost are to either 1) add a CNAME record that points to the free subdomain 000WebHost provides (your-domain.000webhostapp.com) or 2) change your DNS nameservers to 000WebHost's own. But in order to use CloudFlare you need to either change your nameservers to Cloudflare's own or add a CNAME record to CloudFlare themselves. The thing is that the registrar for .tk domains (Freenom [sorry, can't post a third link because I have under 10 rep]) only allows you to use CNAME records or different nameservers, you can't have both different namservers and CNAME records at the same time. Ideally, I would have a CNAME pointed at 000webhostapp.com and my nameservers pointed at Cloudflare, but I can't do that due to said restrictions. So my question is: is there some way to circumvent Freenom's restrictions and use a CNAME and different nameservers at the same time, or should I jump ship to a Cloudflare Partner's web hosting service i.e. Free Virtual Servers (sorry, again I can't post a link) so I can just activate CloudFlare through cPanel without changing the nameservers or adding CNAME records?

How to use CloudFlare and web host at same time?

dns;nameserver;cname;cloudflare

You can't have different nameservers and CNAME records at the one host - even that sentence doesn't make sense really. By changing the nameservers you are shifting the DNS to that host and that is where you will have to set up the CNAME

Consider the deterministic (resp. non-deterministic) one-way finite automaton that is defined in the usual way except that it has k heads and in each step can decide which head to move. (It is allowed to run until all heads reach the end-marker of the input.) These automata are denoted by k-DFA (resp. k-FA) and it was shown in several papers that k+1 heads are better than k, i.e., their is a language that can be recognized only with more heads. Probably the simplest of these arguments is by Yao and Rivest (http://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/pubs/YR78.pdf).However, notice that if we allow the k-headed automata to read the input k+1 times, then it can also recognize the language given as a counterexample. (Here define reading t times as you would like to - when the first reading is finished, start the second one etc. OR run the machines in parallel t times from t different starting states and then take some boolean function of their final states.)So my question:Is there a language that can be recognized by a k+1-headed automaton but by no k-headed automaton that is allowed to read the input t times? (Here t can depend on the language but not on the input.)Note: Please do not link me to papers asking if I have seen it! I have read many related things...

Are k+1 heads better than k for multiread finite automata?

The format could be either for example a tournament style or chess ranking, but this isn't that important. A good example would be Google's AI challenge (http://aichallenge.org/)The only systems I've found so far are regular programming judges, i.e. those who can check if a program passes or fails a given problem, like DOMJudge.Do you know of any systems like this?

Where I work we recently switched the Agile development using Scrum. We went through the typical growing pains but have reached an approach that seems to work for now (whether it'll work in the long term is for another question!).Obviously, the department management is happy the transition to Scrum is working. But they have starting doing something that, to me, feels wrong.Management will observe a team, see what works for them, and the prescribe it to the entire department. Things like:The definition of DoneWhich story point values can be used for story pointing (eg, omitting 8 from the fib. sequence because 1, 2, 3, 5, 13, etc were the only ones used during a sprint they observed)Telling teams they must calibrate their story point value of 1 to updating a UI label, and limiting them to an upper bound of 20(although not all our projects have clients and not all developershave UI experience)Telling teams to use story point estimates of 100 to mean we'll split this story laterTelling teams to use story point estimates of infinity to mean this is an epic or we need more infoI understand they're trying to be helpful, but shouldn't all the things above be Scrum-team specific? That is to say, what works for one group of individuals on one project may not make sense to another group on another project.I'm concerned we're drifting into a very prescriptive and stiff Agile approach. Am I justified in thinking this, or am I overreacting?EditJust to clarify... by Management and Manager I don't mean the Product Owner. I mean any manager outside the Scrum Team, but within the Software Department.

Enforcing a uniform Scrum approach to all teams within a department

agile;scrum;management

Ofcourse you're justified in thinking that. The very fact that you're talking about enforcing Scrum is a blaring alarm siren. Scrum is first and foremost about self-organisation of the team; they get to choose how to do their work and how to organize themselves. Management only has a say in what work needs to be done. The reason why teams should organize themselves is that they are always unique, due to the different natures of the individual team members (and the people they work with) and the due to the differences of the products they work on. A practice that works perfectly well for one team, can have adverse effects on another team. That's why within a certain scope (a sandbox metaphore is often used), they have to experiment, learn and find out what works best for them. What you need is a very competent Scrum master (one per team), who can guide a team in this discovery, but at the same time can also work with management to obtain the freedom for the team to go on that discovery.

I'm trying to abstract away some /dev/input files so that user-level systems can know when the touchscreen is being used vs. when the touchpad is being used (without having access to raw mouse data).To do this, I want to create a root system service which watches the /dev/input files for changes, and publishes currently using touchpad or currently using touchscreen messages which non-root session services can pick up (e.g., so a service under /etc/systemd/user/ can leverage the information)Potential Methods I've thought of:Have the root service manage a file which non-root services can watch for updates onPublish over some sort of bus, like dbus (I haven't worked with dbus before, but it seems like the system bus vs. session bus is isolated)What are some recommended patterns here? I haven't worked much at all with process -> process communication on linux, but I figure there must be a clean way to do something like this.

Some of the context might not be relevant to the problem so feel free to skim through the rest of this post but essentially what I'm doing is trying to install an operating system onto the KAOS partition in the picture.HardwareOK so I'm on a Lenovo Yoga Ultrabook 13 (specs) and I'd rather keep Windows since I read online that I'd be having further problems once I finish this headache (mainly that the wifi is going to be screwed and stuff but I'm prepared for that).ConstraintsIn order to keep the original setup intact while creating a new partition I had to do a little bit of magic because all the various partitions can somehow get out of sync or something if you're not careful. tl;dr: I was VERY careful and I believe that my problem is related to the flash drive and not the partition setup.OptionsI've tried to install DeepinOS, openSUSE and KaOS and have had various different error messages which returned no relevant search results until I found this article. Which has a plausible explanation for my problems.DiagnosticsI believe the usb drive is trying to use the wrong partition and that I need to specify in some config file exactly which partition I wish to use. This makes sense since theopenSUSE error came after I got a dialog box asking me to specify some path (the default is / and according to guides you're supposed to hit enter and things happen, I got some red box asking me to verify installation media).KaOS error said:ERROR: Root device mounted successfully but /sbin/init does not exist.Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck.ShortcomingsThe one thing about that explanation that makes no sense is that these various installations have never tried to override anything (or indeed write anything). I'm sorry for not giving a more detailed description of the errors but I'm sick of restarting my computer and...Other... I've created bootable USB sticks with three different flash drives and 3-4 different tools (unetbootin, UUI, some windows only tool and the SUSE tool). I've both formatted and prepared them on my Linux Mint workstation and the windows laptop (as well as troubleshooted (troubleshot?) some other aspects of the process such as making sure the ISO's are OK etc).I've had several problems with the flash drives, especially at first. However although none of my installation attempts has gotten farther than the first step of the installation process that seems to be a symptom of some other problem.SummaryI will be completely content if anyone can help me get a working dualboot setup with any of the following OSes (based on screenshots and random biases so I'm pretty open to suggestions if there is some easy alternative although I'm guessing choice of OS is not related to the problem).List of OSes:Arch (I might be able to do this one myself thanks to their superb wiki)BodhiDeepinElementaryopenSUSEKaOSPinguyI'll be stalking this post since I'd really prefer to have access to linux in school so please ask me if you need anything clarified and please help me :(

When running vim under GNU screen, I'm finding that combinations of CTRL with the arrow and Pg* keys don't work as expected.I'm using the Ubuntu 10.10 vim-gnome package.On a different machine, also running Ubuntu, this did work without problems; unfortunately I don't have that configuration available to me now.There is a related question here: How to fix Ctrl + arrows in Vim?However, the suggested solution there is to remap vim's keybindings to work with the terminal emulator, in that case PuTTY. I don't recall doing anything of the sort, and suspect that there is a screen configuration option which will resolve this issue.There's also a thread on the gnu-screen mailing list which suggests that running vim via $TERM=xtermvim is an appropriate fix or workaround. This does work, but I'm a bit concerned that there might be side effects. It also doesn't sound familiar enough to be the solution I set up on the other machine (if a solution was necessary).

An error with our URL rewrite rules caused some pages to be not found (404 errors) when Google crawled our site.I regularly watch for errors and fix database or coding issues when they arise. We usually avoid them altogether, but sometimes we're surprised to find a 404 and we fix it.How bad is it? Supposing our goal is to establish trust and authority and keep the spider coming back for more pages, does anyone know how the spider acts programatically with crawl errors. Is there a point where the crawl frequency is reduced, or the SERPs affected?

What's the extent of the damage to having a broken URL found by the spiders (showing in Google Webmaster Tools)?

google search console;url;404;web crawlers

How bad is it?Badness is directly proportional to the number of links to the 404 and the number of visitors who are disappointed when they arrive at your site; Google Webmaster Tools won't show you a 404 unless there's a link to the content somewhere on the internet.Does anyone know how the spider acts programatically with crawl errors[?]If your domain expires you can expect it to be removed from search results post haste (i.e. about 48 hours from my experience).If your domain stops accepting all traffic (i.e. internal server error or a multitude of 404's) it's far less certain how long your rank will remain - my anecdotal experience is 1-2 weeks for extremely low-value search terms (wouldn't let that happen for ranking on high-value terms).Per this Webmaster World how long to removal thread, Google may keep dead content in its supplemental index for quite a while, but you're on the right track with fixing the problem as it appears*.*You are applying a 301 redirect to the correct URL or most relevant content, right? :)

I'm running a Flask application on a server via nginx. I want to create a systemd file and here's what I have:[Unit]Description=my123 websiteAfter=syslog.targetRequires=postgresql.service[Service]ExecStart=/home/user_123/my_web_app/run.py &ExecStop=Restart=on-abortWorkingDirectory=/home/user_123/my_web_app/SyslogIdentifier=my_web_appUser=user_123[Install]WantedBy=multi-user.targetLocally I run it as ./run.py. Now, what should I have in ExecStart and ExecStop? I think ExecStart is correct because I have the & in it. But how about ExecStop?

Creating a systemd service for Flask via nginx

ubuntu;systemd;python

No, you should never add & to ExecStart. That will make systemd think that your unit is the process doing the forking. Also, you do not need ExecStop for a service that understands SIGTERM (flask's built-in webserver does), systemd knows where to send the signal.i.e. systemd tracks the PID that ExecStart started at and then knows where to send SIGTERM when you ask to terminate the process.(A unit type= can make forks a little more complicated than that. But the default unit type= considers that there are no forks.)ExtraRunning the built-in flask server behind Nginx will render you very vulnerable to even a trivial DoS attack. The flask built-in server is not meant for production use. With Nginx you should be using something like uWSGI.Flask docs have a section on uwsgi, and you can map the command line easily to edit uWSGI configuration file options. And uWSGI docs have a section on systemd. And you really should be using systemd to start a real webserver akin of uWSGI, not the flask built-in one.

My understand of bind in handling non-authoritative queries is:forward mode. It just forward the client queries to an upstream DNS server, which is defined in forwarders directive.recursive mode. It actually start asking from root DNS server, then 2nd level DNS server etc till it finally get an authoritative answer for the host in question.Non of these modes seems to depends/relates to the system DNS settings on the host which bind is running on, e.g. /etc/resolv.conf.AMIRITE?

That snippet of 3 lines you used,is fine as it is, nothing really wrong with it.It's proper, efficient, natural, easy to understand.There is just one thing I'd pick on,is that the $value variable in the foreach expression is not used.Another way to achieve the same thing without unused variables is to use & to pass the loop variable by reference:foreach ($array_name as &$arr) { ksort($arr);}This has the advantage that the loop index variable $key is now gone too,we're working with the data that really matters, which is the $arr to sort.

I am going though some PHP arrays exercises on w3resource.

Is it more appropriate to use a foreach() loop?Is ($total / count($array) the easiest way to find the average of an array, and is that the best way to format it for readability?Can you spot parts of my code which you think could be coded better?

Finding the average, the five smallest, and the five largest numbers in an array

php;beginner;programming challenge;array

There are a number of built-in functions in PHP that would make your code shorter and more direct.The first is implode. implode takes and optional glue string and an array of values, and joins them together into a single string. So for implode(, , array(1, a, 3)), it would return 1, a, 3. This avoids the need to loop over the elements of an array to print them with a separator, and to catch the last case where there should be no separator.The second is array_sum. This, as its name suggests, takes an array and sums the values. This also avoids an explicit loop.The third is array_slice. This function will take an array, and return a portion of it based on the given parameters. It can even be used to index in reverse with a negative offset.Putting it all together, we get the following:<?php echo <pre>; $temperatures = array(78, 60, 62, 68, 71, 68, 73, 85, 66, 64, 76, 63, 75, 76, 73, 68, 62, 73, 72, 65, 74, 62, 62, 65, 64, 68, 73, 75, 79, 73); echo Recorded temperatures : ; echo implode(, , $temperatures); echo <br>; echo Average Temperature is : ; echo number_format(array_sum($temperatures) / count($temperatures), 1); echo <br>; //sort the temperatures in ascending order for both of the following lists. sort($temperatures); //print the first 5 values echo List of five lowest temperatures : ; echo implode(, , array_slice($temperatures, 0, 5)); echo <br>; //print the last 5 values echo List of five highest temperatures : ; echo implode(, , array_slice($temperatures, -5, 5)); echo <br>; echo </pre>;?>

I've started preferring key-val storage over SQL. I'm hoping there's something built in that's a littler than pstore or redis. I've been doing a lot of string (de)serializing of lists and dictionaries stored in a single file. But I figured this wouldn't perform well for a large file. So I tried using the filesystem (storing each piece of data in a file).Is the filesystem a potentially functional alternative to a database? Is there a util I can use instead?

Is there a simple key-val storage system built in?

Wikipedia says that The protocol has been version 11 (hence X11) since September 1987.That's almost 30 years.Why did the X protocol freeze?

What happened with X12?

Is there a practical solution to organizing the initial tasks for a new project?To elaborate, imagine the features/stories/goals are laid out for a project. How might one go about organizing those into sane tasks for the first few versions?The scenario I typically have in mind has the features listed as a high-level reference for what the end user-experience should involve. The tasks for constructing such features are then broken down into chunks (such as create interface for X component). Such a task is not necessarily tied to only that feature and may be useful when building subsequent features. Is breaking features down into small, code-able solutions valid? Or should they be slightly removed from any specific implementation?I do not expect that there is one right answer to this question, but I am looking for a fairly pragmatic and unobtrusive approach.As a note, I'm looking for solutions that are independent of any tools or systems used for managing the tasks themselves.

I am in the market for an android tablet, I am mostly rounded down to an 8 model (though not 100% on this) . Looking at the Asus Zenpad s 8.0 or the Galaxy S2 8.0My primary uses will be watching movies on the plane (I travel a lot) and using the Hema Explorer GPS tracking and navigation app for offroad driving. ANd some games, but not a key purpose.My movies/tv will be a mix of Google Play store rentals, Netflix, stan and the Virgin Entertainment system.My current phone is a Xperia Z3 compact, I like having a compact phone so don't want to upgrade. I have run the Hema app on my phone, it lagged a bit when recording tracks. So performance of the tablet is pretty important to me. My main concerns with above tablets is the aspect ratio and watching movies.So ;What would you recommend that is on the current market (US or AU)? In real world how much screen do i actually lose with the 4:3 aspect ratio watching moviesI really don't want to spend over $500, buying from the US should make this possible.I have considered iPad as well, but i am in the Android ecosystem so unless there is some great reason why it would suit me better i just don't see the point.

I am writing a game where a car drives and makes jumps. When a jump is landed, the player is rewarded if they land all four wheels either at the same time, or near to the same time. If they don't, they are penalised.I am concerned my solution is not well abstracted (although I am open to all topics of feedback), and particularly that it will not be very extensible in the future should I come to add additional things to check for (such as bonuses for good air time, or tricks) on landing.using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Linq;using UnityEngine;/// <summary>/// Checks if the car has made a good landing or not./// </summary>[RequireComponent(typeof(CollisionEvent))] //Unity engine code to ensure a CollisionEvent is always attached to the same object as this script.public class GoodLandingChecker : MonoBehaviour{ /// <summary> /// Gets or sets the bad landing threshold. /// When a bad landing occurs, the player is penalised. /// </summary> /// <value> /// The bad landing threshold. /// </value> public float BadLandingThreshold { get { return badLandingThreshold; } set { badLandingThreshold = value; } } /// <summary> /// Gets or sets the good landing threshold. /// When a good landing occurs, the player is rewarded. /// </summary> /// <value> /// The good landing threshold. /// </value> public float GoodLandingThreshold { get { return goodLandingThreshold; } set { goodLandingThreshold = value; } } /// <summary> /// Gets or sets the great landing threshold. /// When a great landing occurs, the player is rewarded greatly. /// </summary> /// <value> /// The great landing threshold. /// </value> public float GreatLandingThreshold { get { return greatLandingThreshold; } set { greatLandingThreshold = value; } } /// <summary> /// Gets or sets the minimum flying time before a landing will be considered. /// </summary> /// <value> /// The minimum flying time. /// </value> public float MinimumFlyingTime { get { return minFlyingTime; } set { minFlyingTime = value; } } /// <summary> /// Gets or sets the wheels used to calculate when landings happen. /// </summary> /// <value> /// The wheels. /// </value> public List<Transform> Wheels { get { return wheels; } set { wheels = value; } } /// <summary> /// The bad landing threshold /// </summary> [SerializeField] //Unity code to make this private field show up in Unity's //Inspector where its value is set by the designer.

First, I am not a C# programmer, but a Java programmer. So maybe some of what I write here is wrong for C#.You write too many comments. Let the code speak for itself.GoodLandingChecker_CollisionEntered Are you supposed to use underscore notation in C#?You can probably find a better name for WheelLanded. Either OnWheelLanded if it's a callback, or something which is a verb otherwise, ie analyzeLanding.I would split WheelLanded in a series of methods: a method that returns the height differencea method that transform the numerical height into an enumone (or many) delegates that register to the get the enum result.For example, the debugging print out and the added forward motion would be two separate delegates.I am not sure if FlyingChecker should be separated from this class. Maybe you could have the method that determines what kind of landing (enum) it is in FlyingChecker, but have the delegates that act on that information being defined elsewhere.

I'm trying to install Arch Linux over virtual box guest machine in a UEFI mode.I've followed beginner's guide to install base system, generate fstab and etc and my system now boots into grub command prompt.I had used GPT partition table to create two partitions./dev/sda1 - 500Mb fat32 UEFI system partition; /dev/sda2 - 7.5Gb ext4 mounted as /; /etc/fstab generated with command genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstaband contains:# /dev/sda2UUID=ce8f33a9-4bb8-42b8-b082-c2ada96cc2bb / ext4 rw,relatime,data-ordered 0 1# /dev/sda1UUID=3D70-B6C5 /boot vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,error=remount-ro 0 2grub installed with commands:\# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck\# mkdir /boot/EFI/boot\# cp /boot/EFI/arch_grub/grubx64.efi /boot/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi(without mkdir and cp it won't boot at all)grub config generated with grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg and its contents are quite hard to get and post here; if it's necessary, I'll try.And after reboot system boots into grub> command prompt and nothing helps.Unlike this question: UEFI install (14.04) boots to GRUB command prompt, no GUI in my case command configfile (hd1,1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg does not make anything except clears the screen.I can boot to installed system via chroot from installing cd environment, but no way other that that.How can I fix it?

I found a case when I tried to use gummiboot instead of grub. Gummiboot reported error, that it cant find kernel images. It looks like I mounted /boot and configured fstab after I installed base system with pacstrap -i. So kernel images, that were placed in a /boot directory were lost after mounting and thus system could not boot. I wonder what happened with them? Are they were still on hard drive, but were just shadowed with mounted partition ?Anyway I just reinstalled everything again with carefully following instructions on arch wiki and it works now.Thanks everyone, I hope this will be usefull to someone, who just learning about linux and can make same mistake as I did.

I have been trying to solve a modification of the Longest Common Prefix problem. It is defined below.Defining substring For a string P with characters P1, P2,, Pq, let us denote by P[i, j] the substring Pi, Pi+1,, Pj.Defining longest common prefix LCP(S1, S2,, SK), is defined as largest possible integer j such that S1[1, j] = S2[1, j] = = SK[1, j].You are given an array of N strings, A1, A2 ,, AN and an integer K. Count how many indices (i, j) exist such that 1 i j N and LCP(Ai, Ai+1,, Aj) K. Print required answer modulo 109+7.Note that K does not exceed the length of any of the N strings. K <= min(len(Ai)) for all iFor example,A = [ab, ac, bc] and K=1.LCP(A[1, 1]) = LCP(A[2, 2]) = LCP(A[3, 3]) = 2LCP(A[1, 2]) = LCP(ab, ac) = 1LCP(A[1, 3]) = LCP(ab, ac, bc) = 0LCP(A[2, 3]) = LCP(ac, bc) = 0So, the answer is 4. Return your answer % MOD = 1000000007Constraints1 Sum of length of all strings 5*105. Strings consist of small alphabets only.Here is my approach:class Solution: # @param A : list of strings # @param B : integer # @return an integer def LCPrefix(self, A, B): res = 0 for i in xrange(len(A)): prev = A[i] prevLCP = len(A[i]) for j in xrange(i, len(A)): prevLCP = self.getLCP(prev, A[j], prevLCP) prev = A[j] if prevLCP >= B: res += 1 return res % 1000000007 def getLCP(self, A, B, upto): i = 0 lim = min(upto, len(B)) while i < lim: if A[i] != B[i]: break i += 1 return iThe time complexity of this algorithm is O(n^2*m), where n is the length of the list and m is the maximum length of the string. The online judge (InterviewBit) does not accept this solution in terms of time complexity. Can anyone think of a way to improve it?

I'm trying to use sed to edit a config file. There are a few lines I'd like to change. I know that under Linux sed -i allows for in place edits but it requires you save to a backup file. However I would like to avoid having multiple backup files and make all my in place changes at once.Is there a way to do so with sed -i or is there a better alternative?

Make multiple edits with a single call to sed

sed

You can tell sed to carry out multiple operations by just repeating -e (or -f if your script is in a file). sed -i -e 's/a/b/g' -e 's/b/d/g' file makes both changes in the single file named file, in-place. Without a backup file.sed -ibak -e 's/a/b/g' -e 's/b/d/g' file makes both changes in the single file named file, in-place. With a single backup file named filebak.

We know that Android is an open source Linux-based distro. And we know some features developed for Android are required for the Linux community for many years, and are denied (like Unity3D Player).What are the difficulties in importing Android features to other Linux distributions, like Ubuntu, Fedora and others?

What are the difficulties in importing features of Android, like Unity3D Player, to Linux in general?

linux;android;unity

The difficulty is that it's a completely different operating system. Android is not a Linux distribution. The only thing that's common between Android and GNU/X11/Apache/Linux/TeX/Perl/Python/FreeCiv (usually known as Linux or Linux distributions) is the Linux kernel. Linux is based on POSIX-based APIs, the X Window System for the graphical interface, and many libraries that build upon these foundations, using core concepts such as processes, files, pipes and windows. Android is based on its own Java APIs with specific concepts, using core concepts such as activities, services, binders and intents. Porting something like Unity3D to Linux would be as much work as other ports such as OSX (which has more POSIX bits than Android, but also has a GUI that's completely different from Unix/Linux's X11) and Android.
