The Bloody Beetroots : HARD Haunted Mansion : 10.30.10: "Close your eyes and imagine, if you will, the bastard son of the Misfits and Daft Punk. As gruesome as the act of conceptionmay appear, the union would generate the most grandiose of offspring. A formidable force, not unlike the Bloody Beetroots."

Welcome to the University of Victoria Whale Research Lab

Welcome to the University of Victoria Whale Research Lab

PECan is a Canadian N£2D/3D parabolic equation (PE) underwater sound propagation model
that was developed for matched-¯eld processing applications. It is based on standard square-root
operator and/or propagator approximations that lead to an alternating direction solution of the
3D problem. A 2D split-step Pad¶e approximation is employed for propagation in range. The 3D
azimuthal corrections are computed using either a split-step Fourier method or a Crank-Nicolson
¯nite-di®erence approximation. It features a heterogeneous formulation of the di®erential operators,
an o®set vertical grid, energy conservation, a choice of initial ¯eld including self-starter, and both
absorbing and nonlocal boundary conditions. Losses due to shear wave conversion in an elastic
bottom are handled in the context of a complex density approximation. In this paper, PECan
is described and validated against some standard benchmark solutions to underwater acoustics
problems. Subsequently, PECan is applied to several single-frequency test cases that were o®ered
for numerical consideration at the SWAM'99 Shallow Water Acoustic Modelling workshop

UVicDSpace: Content-aware visualizations of audio data in diverse contexts

UVicDSpace: Content-aware visualizations of audio data in diverse contexts: "The visualization of the high-dimensional feature landscapes that are encountered when analyzing audio data is a challenging problem and is the focus of much research in the field of Music Information Retrieval. Typical feature sets extracted from sound have anywhere from dozens to hundreds of dimensions and have complex interrelationships between data elements. In this work, we apply various modern techniques for the visualization of audio data to a number of diverse problem domains, including the bioacoustics of Orcinus Orca (killer whale) song, partially annotated chant traditions including Torah recitation and the the analysis of music collections and live DJ sets. We also develop a number of graphical user interfaces to allow users to interact with these visualizations. These interfaces include Flash-enabled web applications, desktop applications, and novel interfaces including the use of the Radiodrum, a three-dimension position sensing musical interface."

redwall_hp comments on Gawker/Gizmodo does not salt their passwords, uses DES for hash, and now 1.3 million passwords vulnerable

redwall_hp comments on Gawker/Gizmodo does not salt their passwords, uses DES for hash, and now 1.3 million passwords vulnerable: "Using MD5 hashes as an example, basically:
I hash the phrase 'KnightsOfTheRoundTable,' which translates to '2704a525ca6db579cbc5a18b153d0383.'
Since I have access to the database of username/password pairs, I can just run a MySQL SELECT command to find all records where the hashed password matches '2704a525ca6db579cbc5a18b153d0383.' Since I know what that hash means, I can log in to any of the user accounts that show up with that password.
Now if they used the usernames as a salt, they would hash your password like this: md5($yourUsername.$yourPassword). That means if your username was KingBob and your password was 'KnightsOfTheRoundTable,' the hash would be '60b99f51bcaf8c3afc0b064b451412f2' instead. This means every user who has 'KnightsOfTheRoundTable' as a password will have a different hash, as their username is tacked onto the front. This makes it much harder to brute-force passwords, since they have to start all over again for each user instead of trying it on every user at once.
Just think of all the people who have 'password' or '12345678' or 'hunter2' as their passwords. Those would be the first ones to try, yielding plenty of compromised accounts."

You Must Learn JavaScript — Article — The Nerdary

You Must Learn JavaScript — Article — The Nerdary: "Frameworks are nice. They are helpful. If anyone scoffs at you for using a framework while you’re learning, don’t listen to them. You’re on the right path. I think jQuery educates more people about the importance of context in JavaScript than any book or reference doc. After you’ve selector’d your face off, dive deeper into the core."

Vocal Village: "Vocal Village is a spatialized audio conferencing application. Participants using Vocal Village will in effect be a part of a virtual conference. Each member of the virtual conference will be able to hear the other members of the conference as if they were located in different positions around a virtual conferencing table, even though might be located in different cities around the globe"

You Must Learn JavaScript — Article — The Nerdary: "It’s my belief that every single web programmer should learn JavaScript. There are many new technologies coming out that fuel this principle. There is one single reason behind it. It’s ubiquitous. You can work for anyone and do amazing things if you’re using JavaScript. You can do it instantly on any machine."

What programming language was Super Mario Bros. written in? - Game Development - Stack Exchange

What programming language was Super Mario Bros. written in? - Game Development - Stack Exchange: "Almost all NES games were hand-written in 6502 assembly, the same as used in the Commodore 64, the Apple ][e, etc. The very few which were written in C had a reputation for being terribly slow because the NES is only 2Mhz and has 2Kb of onboard RAM (with an 8Kb window for the cartridge to patch more in). Careful assembly designed to take full advantage of the NES's peculiar architecture was much more effective.

Stop and think about that... games like Super Mario Bros 3 and Kirby's Adventure ran on 2Mhz. Compare how rich they are to today's games which swallow gigahertz and hundreds of megabytes of RAM..."

Time To Diversify

Time To Diversify: "The web is going to win. There will always be desktop apps, phone apps, console games and various specific scenarios. Win in those area’s all you want, but never deny that the choices today for web development are nothing like the choices we had 5 years a go. You could still make the best ever web platform in the history of software but that fact is the chances of consolidation like we saw in the Win32 days isn’t going to happen again. The choice geni is out of its browser bottle."

Read the Analog Inputs — MakingThings: "Autosend
First, choose whether you want the Make Controller to send messages to you over USB or Ethernet.  If you want Ethernet, send it the message
/system/autosend-udp 1
The board will send messages wherever it last received a message from.  If you want USB, send the message
/system/autosend-usb 1
Next, decide how often you want the Make Controller Kit to send you messages.  We'll have it look every 10 milliseconds, or 100 times a second.  To do this, send the message
/system/autosend-interval 10
Lastly, turn the analog inputs autosend on.  We'll turn on autosend for all 8 of the analogin channels by sending the message
/analogin/*/autosend 1
Now, anytime the value changes on one of your inputs, the Make Controller will send you a message.  Read on below to see how to deal with the incoming messages."

lloyds mirror effect | Comp.DSP | DSPRelated.com

lloyds mirror effect | Comp.DSP | DSPRelated.com: "he basic effect is due to 2 signal paths of different lengths. When a broadband
(e.g. white noise) type signal is transmitted it produces a sinusoidal pattern
in the spectrogram or more usually for sonar Lofargram. When the source is
moving this causes the sinusoidal pattern to change over time.
By measuring the period of the sinusoidal pattern at the Closest Point of
Approach (CPA) , and by measuring the rate of change of the sinusoidal pattern
you can perform some target localization.

The basic effect is described in Richard Neilson's book 'Sonar Signal Processing'"

The outcome of the exploration was sufficiently interesting that I thought I'd mention it here in order that other JNI users might avoid the same pitfall."

Benford's Law - Fabulous Adventures In Coding - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

Benford's Law - Fabulous Adventures In Coding - Site Home - MSDN Blogs: "If you just start grabbing thousands or millions of 'random' numbers from newspapers and magazines and books, you soon see that about 30% of the numbers begin with 1, and it falls off rapidly from there. About 18% begin with 2, all the way down to less than 5% for 9.

This oddity was discovered by Newcomb in 1881, and then rediscovered by Frank Benford, a physicist, in 1937. As often is the case, the fact became associated with the second discoverer and is now known as Benford's Law."
"TINY FONT
I wanted to design the smallest screen font that would actually be readable. My design assumes that screen pixels are horizontal striped as RGBRGB, as are most LCD screens these days.

My goal was to have something that is clearly readable, yet can fit an entire page of text onto a QVGA (320×240) screen (eg: an Apple iPod or T-Mobile SideKick).

In contrast, I've noticed that Microsoft's smallest screen fonts are unreadable, whereas their smallest readable screen fonts are way bigger than necessary.

To the right you can see what I've got so far: a QVGA screen in my font can comfortably fit the first 500 words of the American Declaration of Independence - about one page of text."

To code quickly, you must quit coding

To code quickly, you must quit coding: "Some of you may already know what it is. For the rest of you, its going to sound wacky.

I stopped working.

Or rather, I set a timer for 50 minutes, during which time I worked on only one task -- no emails, no IMs, no games, no distractions. At the end of the 50 minutes, I went for a walk.

It doubled my productivity, and as a side effect increased my happiness with my work."

The Prague Stringology Club

The Prague Stringology Club

The stringology is a science on algorithms on strings and sequences. It solves such problems like exact and approximate pattern matching, searching for repetitions in various texts,... etc. There are many areas that utilize the results of the stringology (information retrival, computer vision, computational biology, DNA processing,... etc.). The Prague Stringology Club uses finite automata approach to solve the problems in stringology. This theory has been developed and successfully used in the field of compiler construction and therefore it can be very useful in the field of stringology too.
