Blogging with Jekyll Tutorial | Jekyll-Bootstrap

Blogging with Jekyll Tutorial | Jekyll-Bootstrap: "The Future of Jekyll-Bootstrap
I built JB to make it easier for developers to share their knowledge. I chose Jekyll because of its native support with GitHub Pages.

I feel I've taken JB as far as it can go without sacrificing simplicity. I will still maintain JB, however further development will stall as I focus on my new project which incorporates what I've learned from JB..."

FUSE 1–20 | Book Review | Typographica

FUSE 1–20 | Book Review | Typographica: "Some may find it a bit too soon for many of FUSE’s experiments to be terribly rewarding. For instance, much of the aesthetic feels very ’90s. And some of the experiments betray Brody and Wozencroft’s loftier goals. M&Co’s “What the Hell”, in which a single stroke on the keyboard types an entire word, seems like much more of a novelty than a significant questioning of the keyboard’s function."

A JavaScript Touch Game – Exploration of Backbone.js, RequireJS & Raphael

A JavaScript Touch Game – Exploration of Backbone.js, RequireJS & Raphael: "About a month ago I came up for an idea for a touched based iPad game. I couldn’t decide whether the concept was engaging enough to work as a game so I thought I’d spend a few evenings building a proof-of-concept to find out. This was also a good excuse to play with some libraries I didn’t know and better understand touch. Now I have got it to a place where it is playable I still don’t know whether it works as a game. Let me know! The source code is on Github and is under MIT license."

I specifically have onClose and onRender. onClose is called by the region manager when closing an existing view. onRender, though, is called by my base “ItemView” or “CollectionView” in Marionette, as I’ve extracted the core rendering in to these two objects but still want to provide a way for specific views to take advantage of DOM-independent plugins and UI controls."

None, except for terminology, specific goals, and culture. They are all branches of probability, which is to say the understanding and sometime quantification of uncertainty. Probability itself is an extension of logic.

Introduction to Hadoop

Introduction to Hadoop: "Hadoop is sub-project of Lucene (a collection of industrial-strength search tools), under the umbrella of the Apache Software Foundation. Hadoop parallelizes data processing across many nodes (computers) in a compute cluster, speeding up large computations and hiding I/O latency through increased concurrency. Hadoop is especially well-suited to large data processing tasks (like searching and indexing) because it can leverage its distributed file system to cheaply and reliably replicate chunks of data to nodes in the cluster, making data available locally on the machine that is processing it."

Apple Color Emoji | Typeface Review | Typographica

Apple Color Emoji | Typeface Review | Typographica: "Of course color fonts are nothing new, with overprinting techniques in use from the earliest days of movable metal type. In digital typography layering has long been used to achieve multicolor results and color bitmap fonts have been around a while. However, Mac OS X Lion and the inclusion of the Apple Color Emoji font represent the first time a modern operating system has included both support and a showcase color font. Although the technology is basic, with color bitmaps included at two sizes in a proprietary “sbix” table, in years to come, as color fonts gain traction, we’ll look back to 2011 as the year it all began."

Afterquery is a pure-client-side javascript tool that downloads jsonp-formatted data from a given URL, applies a configurable series of transformations, and then renders the result as either a data table or a Google Visualizations (gviz) chart.

Although the javascript file happens to be hosted on a server, your data never gets uploaded; your browser handles all the processing steps internally. Also, the permissions to download the jsonp data depends on the cookies in your browser, so you can safely retrieve protected content without granting authorization to an external server."

An Interactive Guide To The Fourier Transform | BetterExplained

An Interactive Guide To The Fourier Transform | BetterExplained: "Filters must be independent. The banana filter needs to capture bananas, and nothing else. Adding more oranges should never affect the banana reading. (Realistically, ingredients like milk and water have an overlap. Work with me here.)

Filters must be complete. We won't get the real recipe if we leave out a filter ("There were mangoes too!"). Our collection of filters must catch every last drop.

Ingredients must be combine-able. Smoothies can be separated and re-combined without issue (A cookie? Not so much. Who wants crumbs?). The cycle inputs, when separated and combined, need to behave the same (linearly)."

Machine Learning, etc: Log loss or hinge loss?

Machine Learning, etc: Log loss or hinge loss?: "Hinge loss is less sensitive to exact probabilities. In particular, minimizer of hinge loss over probability densities will be a function that returns returns 1 over the region where true p(y=1|x) is greater than 0.5, and 0 otherwise. If we are fitting functions of the form above, then once hinge-loss minimizer attains the minimum, adding extra degrees of freedom will never increase approximation error.

Hinge Loss

Hinge Loss:


The main
outcome of our analysis is that, for classification, the hinge loss appears
to be the loss of choice. Other things being equal, the hinge loss leads to
a convergence rate practically indistinguishable from the logistic loss rate
and much better than the square loss rate. Furthermore, if the hypothesis
space is sufficiently rich, the bounds obtained for the hinge loss are not
loosened by the thresholding stage.

How to process a million songs in 20 minutes « Music Machinery

How to process a million songs in 20 minutes « Music Machinery: "The recently released Million Song Dataset (MSD), a  collaborative project between The Echo Nest and Columbia’s LabROSA is a fantastic resource for music researchers. It contains detailed acoustic and contextual data for a million songs. However, getting started with the dataset can be a bit daunting. First of all, the dataset is huge (around 300 gb) which is more than most people want to download.  Second, it is such a big dataset that processing it in a traditional fashion, one track at a time, is going to take a long time.  Even if you can process a track in 100 milliseconds, it is still going to take over a day to process all of the tracks in the dataset.  Luckily there are some techniques such as Map/Reduce that make processing big data scalable over multiple CPUs.  In this post I shall describe how we can use Amazon’s Elastic Map Reduce to easily process the million song dataset."

The code demonstrates the building of feature vectors for each document using multiple hashing encoders."

RepyTutorial – Seattle

RepyTutorial – Seattle: "This guide provides an introduction to using the Repy sandbox environment. It describes what restrictions are placed upon the sandboxed code with examples. At the end of reading this document you should be able to write Repy programs, manage the restrictions on programs, and understand whether Repy is appropriate for a specific task or program.

It is assumed that you have a basic understanding of network programming such as socket, ports, IP addresses, and etc. Also, a basic understanding of HTML is useful but not required. Lastly, you need a basic understanding of the Python programming language. If not, you might want to first read through the Python tutorial at  http://www.python.org/doc/ or the python tutorial in this site. You do not need to be a Python expert to use Repy, but as Repy is a subset of Python, being able to write a simple Python program is essential.
