Acoustic ecology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Acoustic ecology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Acoustic ecology, sometimes called ecoacoustics or soundscape studies, is the relationship, mediated through sound, between living beings and their environment.[1] Acoustic ecology studies started in the late 1960s with R. Murray Schafer and his team at Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, Canada) as part of the World Soundscape Project. The original WSP team included Barry Truax and Hildegard Westerkamp, Bruce Davies and Peter Huse, among others. The first study produced by the WSP was titled The Vancouver Soundscape. The interest in this area grew enormously after this pioneer and innovative study and the area of acoustic ecology raised the interest of researchers and artists all over the world. In 1993, the members of the by now large and active international acoustic ecology community formed the World Forum of Acoustic Ecology.[2]"

DailyJS: A JavaScript Blog

DailyJS: A JavaScript Blog: "Why bother making a Node process behave like a daemon? There are several reasons, but generally because it’s a service that should be running at all times, in the background, and will automatically start after a reboot.

There are different ways to do this depending on the operating system. Most Linux distributions use System V compatible init scripts with runlevels. An alternative is upstart which is installed by default on Ubuntu systems."

GoldenEye Spectrum Emulation Unlocked - The RWP Forums

GoldenEye Spectrum Emulation Unlocked - The RWP Forums: "Little benownst to the world all this time, GoldenEye (N64) has a fully-functional ZX Spectrum 48x emulator built into it. By feeding it a proper Spectrum monitor program and calling menu 25 to load a snapshot, any Spectrum 48x program can be run.

The emulator started life as a side project to see if Spectrum emulation was possible on N64 and was hooked into GE, the current game in development. It was supposed to be removed before release but was only made inaccessible and inoperable. All the registers, dependancies, and script required to run the emulator still reside in retail GoldenEye carts.

True universal JavaScript modules with write-once-run-anywhere Jasmine specs » The Log Book of Manuel Kiessling: "As a JavaScript developer writing general-purpose libraries, you probably wish you could go fully universal, that is, you might want to create a library:

that can be used in the browser and in Node.js – without any hacks for either platform, and without code-duplication
that transparently utilizes AMD via RequireJS in the browser and CommonJS via require in Node.js – without any hacks for either platform, and without code-duplication

Google's Go Programming Language Grows Up: Now What?

Google's Go Programming Language Grows Up: Now What?: "So what's Go good for? According to distinguished Google Engineer Rob Pike, the co-designer of the Go programming language, it's designed for "big software."

Pike says Go is best for "large programs written by many developers, growing over time to support networked services in the cloud: in short, server software. Go enables programmers to develop software quickly and maintain and adapt it easily as it grows. It combines the efficiency of traditional compiled languages with the ease of use and expressiveness of scripting languages." (Being a member of the original Bell Labs Unix team, Pike does know a thing or three about systems software.)

SAX

SAX: "SAX is the first symbolic representation for time series that allows for dimensionality reduction and indexing with a lower-bounding distance measure.  In classic data mining tasks such as clustering, classification, index, etc., SAX is as good as well-known representations such as Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), while requiring less storage space.  In addition, the representation allows researchers to avail of the wealth of data structures and algorithms in bioinformatics or text mining, and also provides solutions to many challenges associated with current data mining tasks.  One example is motif discovery, a problem which we recently defined for time series data.  There is great potential for extending and applying the discrete representation on a wide class of data mining tasks."

Raccoon dog - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides, from the Greek words nukt-, "night" + ereutēs, "wanderer" + prokuōn, "before-dog" [but in New Latin used to mean "raccoon"] + -oidēs, "-oid"), also known as the magnut[2] or tanuki, is a canid indigenous to east Asia. It is the only extant species in the genus Nyctereutes. It is considered a basal canid species, resembling ancestral forms of the family. Among the Canidae, the raccoon dog shares the habit of regularly climbing trees only with the North American gray fox, another basal species.[3][4][5] The raccoon dog is named for its resemblance to the raccoon (Procyon lotor), to which it is not closely related."

Tentsile Treehouse Tents Provide a Safe Haven in the Treetops! | Inhabitat - Green Design Will Save the World: "Tentsile is a portable habitation unit that can be suspended amidst trees to provide accommodation for three people. With three anchor points and the use of tension instead of poles, the Tentsile is part tent and part hammock. The structure is made from a collapsable frame of webbing straps with fire retardant, UV PU and water resistant polyester fabric infill panels. The three points serve as sleeping chambers and the middle is held in suspension and serves as a vestibule and gathering space. Access is gained via a rope ladder in the middle. It comes in a wide variety of colors and each tent is made by hand and there is also an option to hang the tent with a stand if no trees are available.

Validate input from all untrusted sources - use whitelists not blacklists
Plan for security from the start - it's not something you can bolt on at the end
Keep it simple - complexity increases the likelihood of security holes
Keep your attack surface to a minimum
Make sure you fail securely
Use defence in depth
Adhere to the principle of least privilege
Use threat modelling
Compartmentalize - so your system is not all or nothing
Hiding secrets is hard - and secrets hidden in code won't stay secret for long
Don't write your own crypto

Chapter 12: Sessions, users, and registration

Chapter 12: Sessions, users, and registration: "Handling registration1
We can use these low-level tools to create views that allow users to sign up. Nearly every developer wants to implement registration differently, so Django leaves writing a registration view up to you; luckily, it’s pretty easy.

At its simplest, we could provide a small view that prompts for the required user information and creates those users. Django provides a built-in form you can use for this purpose, which we’ll use in this example:1

from django import oldforms as forms
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm

def register(request):
form = UserCreationForm()

if request.method == 'POST':
data = request.POST.copy()
errors = form.get_validation_errors(data)
if not errors:
new_user = form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect("/accounts/created/")
else:
data, errors = {}, {}

return render_to_response("registration/register.html", {
'form' : forms.FormWrapper(form, data, errors)

Web Type Will Save Us (Or, Who’s Afraid of the Big, Bad Retina Display?) – Jeffrey Zeldman Presents The Daily Report

Web Type Will Save Us (Or, Who’s Afraid of the Big, Bad Retina Display?) – Jeffrey Zeldman Presents The Daily Report: "WITH RETINA DISPLAY technology on the verge of ubiquity and some of today’s best web design minds rightfully fretting about it (see PPK, Stephanie Rieger, Brad Frost, and Stuntbox if you’ve missed this latest Topic Of Concern), it seems to this old web slinger that web type is poised to replace photography as the dominant element of web design aesthetic appeal in the next few years.
After all, responsive web design already called upon us to create and swap multiple versions of the same image. And now Retina Displays reveal the lack of quality in all web images — compelling us, perhaps, to create high-resolution image versions which some users lack the bandwidth to download, and to lather our sites with yet more JavaScript as we try to detect whether or not each user’s device requires a higher-res image (shades of 1999!).

InfoQ: Ember.js: Rich Web Applications Done Right

InfoQ: Ember.js: Rich Web Applications Done Right: "Although Ember.js has the same roots as SproutCore, with a similar object-model and template-model, Ember.js has a very different view of the world than SproutCore has. In many ways SproutCore aims to hide away HTML and CSS code for the developer, while Ember.js has HTML and CSS at the core of the development model. The advantage of the SproutCore model is that it will be easier to support a different target rendering platform in the future (like the HTML5 Canvas element), or even a native application deployment. This is a very nice idea, but just as the JavaServer Faces (JSF) project I have not seen a single application that targets anything but HTML, CSS and JavaScript."

Google Guava BloomFIlter

Google Guava BloomFIlter: "BloomFilter Crash Course

BloomFilters are essentially bit vectors. At a high level BloomFilters work in the following manner:
Add the element to the filter.
Hash it a few times, than set the bits to 1 where the index matches the results of the hash.
When testing if an element is in the set, you follow the same hashing procedure and check if the bits are set to 1 or 0. This process is how a BloomFilter can guarantee an element does not exist. If the bits aren’t set, it’s simply impossible for the element to be in the set. However, a positive answer means the element is in the set or a hashing collision occurred. A more detaild description of a BloomFilter can be found here and a good tutorial on BloomFilters here. According to wikipedia, Google uses BloomFilters in BigTable to avoid disk lookups for non-existent items. Another interesting usage is using a BloomFilter to optimize a sql querry."

How does a mutex work? What does it cost? « Musing Dragoman

How does a mutex work? What does it cost? « Musing Dragoman: "What is a mutex?

A mutex, in its most fundamental form, is just an integer in memory. This memory can have a few different values depending on the that state of the mutex. Though usually when we speak of mutexes we also talk of the locks which use the mutex. The integer in memory is not very interesting, but the operations around it are.

There are two fundamental operations which a mutex must provide to be useful:

lock
unlock
unlock is a simple case since it’s usually just one function. Unlocking a mutex makes it available for another process to lock. lock on the other hand usually has several variants. In most cases we’d like to wait until we can lock the mutex, so the most common lock operation does exactly this. Other users may wish to only wait for a given period of time, and yet some other users may not want to wait at all. Thus lock has a few variants, all of which have the goal to lock the mutex."

CoffeeScript

Write new JS in CoffeeScript.
Use soft-tabs with a two space indent.
Always use camelCase, never underscores.
Use implicit parentheses when possible.
Follow @jashkenas's style. See the documentation for good examples.
Any top level objects should be namespaced under the GitHub namespace.
Don't ever use $.get or $.post. Instead use $.ajax and provide both a success handler and an error handler.
Use $.fn.on instead of $.fn.bind, $.fn.delegate and $.fn.live.
Existing JavaScript

Avoid adding new .js files.
Use soft-tabs with a two space indent.
Do your best to never use a semicolon. This means avoiding them at line breaks and avoiding multi-statement lines. For more info, read Mislav's blog post."

Still open.

When I started graduate school in the mid-1980s, many believed that the quickly developing area of circuit complexity would soon settle the P versus NP problem, whether every algorithmic problem with efficiently verifiable solutions have efficiently computable solutions. But circuit complexity and other approaches to the problem have stalled and we have little reason to believe we will see a proof separating P from NP in the near future."

An unlimited budget is almost as bad as no budget | Atomic Spin: "The worst possible budget for a project is zero. If you have no funds or no time, you have no power to build anything worthwhile. That’s not a surprise to anyone – no one likes working under absurd constraints.

The second worst possible budget is unlimited.


Reasonable constraints provide guidance. They help you narrow your focus and and work on the things that really matter. A well-considered constraint can be a road map for your project: Even if you know where you’re going, the map can help you measure the distance and figure out if you’ll have enough gas in the tank for that side trip you were thinking about."

Why is the DOS path character "\"? - Larry Osterman's WebLog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

Why is the DOS path character "\"? - Larry Osterman's WebLog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs: "Here's a little known secret about MS-DOS.  The DOS developers weren't particularly happy about this state of affairs - heck, they all used Xenix machines for email and stuff, so they were familiar with the *nix command semantics.  So they coded the OS to accept either "/" or "\" character as the path character (this continues today, btw - try typing "notepad c:/boot.ini"  on an XP machine (if you're an admin)).  And they went one step further.  They added an undocumented system call to change the switch character.  And updated the utilities to respect this flag.

And then they went and finished out the scenario:  They added a config.sys option, SWITCHAR= that would let you set the switch character to "-".

Which flipped MS-DOS into a *nix style system where command lines used "-switch", and paths were / delimited.

Made of Bugs » Why node.js is cool (it’s not about performance): "Enter node.js
node.js solves this problem, somewhat paradoxically by reducing the number of options available to developers. By having a built-in event loop, and by making that event loop the default way to accomplish virtually anything at all (e.g. all of the builtin IO functions work asynchronously on the same event loop), node.js provides a very strong pressure to write networked code in a certain way. The upshot of this pressure is that, since essentially every node.js library works this way, you can pick and choose arbitrary node.js libraries and combine them in the same program, without even having to think about the fact that you’re doing so."

jQuery Mobile Docs - Events: "Important: Use pageInit(), not $(document).ready()

The first thing you learn in jQuery is to call code inside the $(document).ready() function so everything will execute as soon as the DOM is loaded. However, in jQuery Mobile, Ajax is used to load the contents of each page into the DOM as you navigate, and the DOM ready handler only executes for the first page. To execute code whenever a new page is loaded and created, you can bind to the pageinit event. This event is explained in detail at the bottom of this page."

javascript - Backbone.js able to do rest and localstorage? - Stack Overflow

javascript - Backbone.js able to do rest and localstorage? - Stack Overflow: "Backbone.localStorage is an external file you can use which overwrites Backbone.Sync.

You can use simple feature detection for whether the user is offline or online and then asynchronously load Backbone.localStorage.js if they are offline.

If neccesary you can also pass in a specific version of Backbone.sync to your models and collections.

If you want to do both at the same time you'll have to write your own version of Backbone.sync that both calls the server and calls localStorage.

The easiest way to do this is to just define

Backbone.sync = function() {
    originalSync.apply(this, arguments);
    localStorageSync.apply(this, arguments);
}
Edit:

As mentioned in the comments, if you use the latest backbone localStorage plugin then you can do the following

Backbone.sync = function Sync() {

I have a lot of faith that the web will be able to stand strong and remain open. Just how open depends on how successful we will be competing with these proprietary stacks. There’s a lot of similarities with the push we did for web standards back when Microsoft weren’t that interested in following them. The goal is to have an open standardized platform that works great for users and developers. The mobile platform should be no less open."

DailyJS: A JavaScript Blog

DailyJS: A JavaScript Blog: " Luca

Luca.JS (GitHub: http://datapimp.github.com/luca/) by Jonathan Soeder is a library for Backbone.js that provides augmented View and Collection classes:

Luca [includes] best practices and optimizations that I have personally come up with developing some rather large Backbone.js apps. It assumes a style of progamming very similar to ExtJS where you define almost all of your views and components as large nested JSON structures.

Luca is built on Twitter’s Bootstrap CSS, and includes CoffeeScript examples. It’s initially distributed as a Ruby library for Rails projects. The author is planning to add JavaScript examples and distribute an alternate version through npm in the future.

Regardless, it may provide some inspiration for those who want to further their Backbone.js knowledge."

Department Colloquium - William Sethares

Department Colloquium - William Sethares: "William Sethares (U. Wisconsin) will be giving a colloquium talk on Topology of Musical Data Thursday, March 8 at 3:30 pm in SSM A104. Everyone is welcome.

Abstract: Techniques for discovering topological structures in large data sets are now becoming practical. This talk argues why the musical realm is a particularly promising arena in which to expect to find nontrivial topological features. The analysis is able to recover three important topological features in music: the circle of notes, the circle of fifths, and the rhythmic repetition of timelines, often pictured in the necklace notation.

Clave (rhythm) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clave (rhythm) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The clave rhythmic pattern is used as a tool for temporal organization in Afro-Cuban music, such as rumba, conga de comparsa, son, son montuno, mambo, salsa, Latin jazz, songo and timba. The five-stroke clave pattern represents the structural core of many Afro-Cuban rhythms.[1] Just as a keystone holds an arch in place, the clave pattern holds the rhythm together in Afro-Cuban music.[2] "

Design and Analysis of Algorithms I

Design and Analysis of Algorithms I: "In this course you will learn several fundamental principles of algorithm design. You'll learn the divide-and-conquer design paradigm, with applications to fast sorting, searching, and multiplication. You'll learn several blazingly fast primitives for computing on graphs, such as how to compute connectivity information and shortest paths. Finally, we'll study how allowing the computer to "flip coins" can lead to elegant and practical algorithms and data structures. Learn the answers to questions such as: How do data structures like heaps, hash tables, bloom filters, and balanced search trees actually work, anyway? How come QuickSort runs so fast? What can graph algorithms tell us about the structure of the Web and social networks? Did my 3rd-grade teacher explain only a suboptimal algorithm for multiplying two numbers?

Self-determination theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Self-determination theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Self-determination theory ("SDT") is a macro theory of human motivation and personality, concerning people's inherent growth tendencies and their innate psychological needs. It is concerned with the motivation behind the choices that people make without any external influence and interference. SDT focuses on the degree to which an individual’s behavior is self-motivated and self-determined.[1]"
