Static Code Analysis « #AltDevBlogADay
Static Code Analysis « #AltDevBlogADay: "The most important thing I have done as a programmer in recent years is to aggressively pursue static code analysis. Even more valuable than the hundreds of serious bugs I have prevented with it is the change in mindset about the way I view software reliability and code quality."

Pipe Logic
Pipe Logic: "Delightfully useless epiphany: Suppose the null-byte is an electron. Then, /dev/zero provides an infinite supply of electrons and /dev/null has an infinite appetite for them. Let's call these devices Vss and Vdd, respectively.
In this model, a UNIX pipe acts like a wire, that is, a conductor with parasitic capacitance. If the pipe is connected to Vss, its pipe buffer in kernel space quickly fills up with null-bytes, and the pipe acts like a negatively charged metal plate. If it is connected to Vdd, the pipe buffer is drained, and the pipe acts like a positively charged metal plate."

SCG: Traits - Composable Units of Behavior
SCG: Traits - Composable Units of Behavior: "Traits are a simple composition mechanism for structuring object-oriented programs. A Trait is essentially a parameterized set of methods; it serves as a behavioral building block for classes and is the primitive unit of code reuse. With Traits, classes are still organized in a single inheritance hierarchy, but they can make use of Traits to specify the incremental difference in behavior with respect to their superclasses."

What is Node.js? - O'Reilly Radar
What is Node.js? - O'Reilly Radar: "Learning Node might take a little effort, but it's going to pay off. Why? Because you're afforded solutions to your web application problems that require only JavaScript to solve. That means your existing JavaScript expertise comes into play. And when you do need to use PHP or Perl — because it's the right solution for a particular problem — you don't need a PHP or Perl guru. You need to know the basics, and those needs can be expanded when the problem requires expansion. Stretching comes at the behest of new problems, rather than stretching poor solutions thinly."

The secrets of Node's success - O'Reilly Radar: "The race for faster JavaScript engines heated up in September 2008 when Google released Chrome and the Chromium source code. The engine behind it was V8 and it outperformed all others. This helped spur the developers of Firefox, Safari, Opera and Internet Explorer to improve JavaScript performance in their browsers and it opened a new front in the browser wars."

Why Everyone Is Talking About Node
Why Everyone Is Talking About Node: "In traditional languages and frameworks, the communication inside the app between the web server and the database is the most time-intensive part of the transaction. Node makes a much smaller footprint on your web server. It allocates web server resources on an as-needed basis, not pre-allocating a large chunk of resources for each user. For example, Apache might assign 8MB to a user, while Node assigns 8KB."

Abstract. An efficient and perfectly invertible signal transform featuring a constant-Q frequency resolution is presented. The proposed approach is based on the idea of the recently introduced nonstationary Gabor frames. Exploiting the properties of the operator corresponding to a family of analysis atoms, this approach overcomes the problems of the classical implementations of constant-Q transforms, in particular, computational intensity and lack of invertibility. Perfect reconstruction is guaranteed by using an easy to calculate dual system in the synthesis step and computation time is kept low by applying FFT-based processing. The proposed method is applied to real-life signals and evaluated in comparison to a related approach, recently introduced specifically for audio signals.

Constant-Q Transform Toolbox for Music Processing
Constant-Q Transform Toolbox for Music Processing: "This web-page accompanies the paper
Schoerkhuber, C. and Klapuri, A., " Constant-Q transform toolbox for music processing," submitted to the 7th Sound and Music Computing Conference, Barcelona, Spain.
Abstract:
This paper proposes a computationally efficient method for computing the constant-Q transform (CQT) of a time-domain signal. CQT refers to a time-frequency representation where the frequency bins are geometrically spaced and the Q-factors (ratios of the center frequencies to bandwidths) of all bins are equal. An inverse transform is proposed which enables a reasonable-quality (around 55dB signal-to-noise ratio) reconstruction of the original signal from its CQT coefficients. Here CQTs with high Q-factors, equivalent to 12--96 bins per octave, are of particular interest. The proposed method is flexible with regard to the number of bins per octave, the applied window function, and the Q-factor, and is particularly suitable for the analysis of music signals. A reference implementation of the proposed methods is published as a Matlab toolbox. The toolbox includes user-interface tools that facilitate spectral data visualization and the indexing and working with the data structure produced by the CQT.

Chroma Toolbox: Pitch, Chroma, CENS, CRP: "Chroma-based audio features have turned out to be a powerful tool for various analysis tasks in Music Information Retrieval including task such as chord labeling, music summarization, structure analysis, music synchronization and audio alignment. A 12-dimensional chroma feature encodes the short-time energy distribution of the underlying music signals over the twelve chroma bands, which correspond to the twelve traditional pitch classes of the equal-tempered scale encoded by the attributes C,C#,D,D#,...,B. Such features strongly correlate to the harmonic progression of the music signal, often prominent in Western music. By identifying spectral components that differ by a musical octave, chroma features possess a significant degree of robustness to changes in timbre and instrumentation."

Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts: "To use a keyboard shortcut, or key combination, you press a modifier key with a character key. For example, pressing the Command key (the key with a symbol) and the "c" key at the same time copies whatever is currently selected (text, graphics, and so forth) into the Clipboard. This is also known as the Command-C key combination (or keyboard shortcut)."

"Young students tend to use it when they get together," Abdelli-Beruh says. "Maybe this is a social link between members of a group."

Waimea Canyon, Kauai
Waimea Canyon, Kauai: "Waimea Canyon is the largest canyon in the Pacific and truly a dramatic sight to behold. The canyon measures 10 miles long, 1 mile wide, and more than 3,500-feet deep. It was carved thousands of years ago by rivers and floods that flowed from Mount Waialeale's summit. The lines in the canyon walls depict different volcanic eruptions and lava flows that have occurred over the centuries. Even though smaller than the Grand Canyon of Arizona, Waimea Canyon rivals the beauty. Numerous lookouts and hikes offer terrific views of every aspect of this natural wonder. The canyon is protected by the Koke'e State Park which encompasses 4,345 acres of land and has 45 miles of trails that run through the canyon and the nearby Alakai Swamp. The Ranger's Station is located at the Koke'e Museum has hiking maps of the area. There are no gas stations along the 40-mile Waimea Canyon Road so be sure to fill up before starting this trip. The main park area provides restrooms. The elevation makes the air 10-15 degrees cooler than in the valley and by afternoon many areas are often shrouded in clouds."

How do I change the default alarm tone - Google Mobile Help
How do I change the default alarm tone - Google Mobile Help: "You can change the default alarm ringtone "Ringing Alarm", but it is not for the light hearted.
You must have a rooted device and use a tool like "Root Explorer".
You must then use Root Explorer to go to "/system/media/audio/alarms" and mount the filesystem as R/W (read write).
Once this is complete, you must get a new ringtone that you want as the default and name it Alarm_Classic.ogg.
Rename the existing Alarm_Classic.ogg to Alarm_Classic.bak or something similar.
Copy the new ogg file to the folder mentioned above, and you should be good to go! Happy tinkering people!"

Django tips: Template context processors
Django tips: Template context processors: "Enter RequestContext and context processors
As it turns out, Django provides an extremely easy way to do this. Every time you render a template, you give it a “context”; this is a dictionary-like object whose keys are variable names and whose values are the values of the variables. When you render a template with a given context, every key in the context dictionary becomes a variable in the template that you can access and use."

The importance of stupidity in scientific research
The importance of stupidity in scientific research: "Productive stupidity means being ignorant by choice. Focusing on important questions puts us in the awkward position of being ignorant. One of the beautiful things about science is that it allows us to bumble along, getting it wrong time after time, and feel perfectly fine as long as we learn something each time. No doubt, this can be difficult for students who are accustomed to getting the answers right. No doubt, reasonable levels of confidence and emotional resilience help, but I think scientific education might do more to ease what is a very big transition: from learning what other people once discovered to making your own discoveries. The more comfortable we become with being stupid, the deeper we will wade into the unknown and the more likely we are to make big discoveries."

Why I Love to Code « thecodergirl
Why I Love to Code « thecodergirl: "So what does this have to do with writing code? Everything. Coding is formulating solutions, it is building structures, it is conducting them in a symphony of harmonious accord. Architecture is akin to a tetris puzzle where every piece has its optimal place. Debugging is like following the threads of a mystery, picking up clues until the culprit is apprehended. Production support can be data sleuthing toward an answer. Yes, some parts of development can be tedious, boring, maddening; but then the challenge becomes turning those aspects of it into opportunities for discovery and growth. The passion is in the fun of it."

10 Myths About Introverts | CarlKingdom.com :: Writer. Director. Artist.: "Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people.
On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in."

10 Myths About Introverts | CarlKingdom.com :: Writer. Director. Artist.: "Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts."

10 Myths About Introverts | CarlKingdom.com :: Writer. Director. Artist.: "Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up."

Voronoi diagram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Voronoi diagram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In mathematics, a Voronoi diagram is a special kind of decomposition of a given space, e.g., a metric space, determined by distances to a specified family of objects (subsets) in the space. These objects are usually called the sites or the generators (but other names such as "seeds" are in use) and to each such an object one associates a corresponding Voronoi cell, namely the set of all points in the given space whose distance to the given object is not greater than their distance to the other objects."

Swami Vivekananda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Later, In 1888, Vivekananda left the monastery as a Parivrâjaka—the Hindu religious life of a wandering monk, "without fixed abode, without ties, independent and strangers wherever they go."[52] His sole possessions were a kamandalu (water pot), staff, and his two favorite books—Bhagavad Gita and The Imitation of Christ.[53] Narendranath travelled the length and breadth of India for five years, visiting important centers of learning, acquainting himself with the diverse religious traditions and different patterns of social life.[54][55] He developed a sympathy for the suffering and poverty of the masses and resolved to uplift the nation.[54][56] Living mainly on Bhiksha or alms, Narendranath traveled mostly on foot and railway tickets bought by his admirers whom he met during the travels."

siplca-segmentation
siplca-segmentation: "This package contains the implementation of the algorithm for identifying repeated harmonic patterns in music and structure segmentation described in [1]. It is primarily written in Python but calls Matlab for feature extraction and performance evaluation.
It depends on numpy and scipy, Matplotlib for plotting, and the mlabwrap package for running Matlab code.
Included is Dan Ellis’ beat-synchronous chroma feature extraction code, also available from: http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/projects/coversongs/. Also useful (but not included) is Dan’s code for resynthesizing chroma."
