Flight by Twitter: "Mixins

A mixin defines a set of functionality that is useful to more than one object. Flight comes with built-in support for functional mixins, including protection against unintentional overrides and duplicate mixins. While classical JavaScript patterns support only single inheritance, a component (or other object) can have multiple mixins applied to it. Moreover mixins requires a fraction of the boilerplate required to form traditional classical hierarchies out of constructor-prototypes hybrids, and don't suffer the leaky abstractions of the latter ('super', 'static', 'const' etc.)

Adequately Good - JavaScript Module Pattern: In-Depth - by Ben Cherry

Adequately Good - JavaScript Module Pattern: In-Depth - by Ben Cherry: "Anonymous Closures

This is the fundamental construct that makes it all possible, and really is the single best feature of JavaScript. We'll simply create an anonymous function, and execute it immediately. All of the code that runs inside the function lives in a closure, which provides privacy and state throughout the lifetime of our application.

(function () {
// ... all vars and functions are in this scope only
// still maintains access to all globals
}());
Notice the () around the anonymous function. This is required by the language, since statements that begin with the token function are always considered to be function declarations. Including () creates a function expression instead.

Low-density parity-check code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In information theory, a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code is a linear error correcting code, a method of transmitting a message over a noisy transmission channel,[1][2] and is constructed using a sparse bipartite graph.[3] LDPC codes are capacity-approaching codes, which means that practical constructions exist that allow the noise threshold to be set very close (or even arbitrarily close on the BEC) to the theoretical maximum (the Shannon limit) for a symmetric memory-less channel. The noise threshold defines an upper bound for the channel noise, up to which the probability of lost information can be made as small as desired. Using iterative belief propagation techniques, LDPC codes can be decoded in time linear to their block length."

Reed–Solomon error correction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reed–Solomon error correction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In coding theory, Reed–Solomon (RS) codes are non-binary[1] cyclic error-correcting codes invented by Irving S. Reed and Gustave Solomon. They described a systematic way of building codes that could detect and correct multiple random symbol errors. By adding t check symbols to the data, an RS code can detect any combination of up to t erroneous symbols, or correct up to ⌊t/2⌋ symbols. As an erasure code, it can correct up to t known erasures, or it can detect and correct combinations of errors and erasures. Furthermore, RS codes are suitable as multiple-burst bit-error correcting codes, since a sequence of b + 1 consecutive bit errors can affect at most two symbols of size b.[2] The choice of t is up to the designer of the code, and may be selected within wide limits."

What We Learned in 2012 · An A List Apart Article: "Design systems, not screens

More than half of U.S. laptop owners now also own a smartphone, and nearly a quarter of them own a tablet too (source). And, of course, with the holiday season past us, the number of users who own a device in all three categories will jump higher still. Users move between devices so fluidly, and in patterns that we often can’t predict. Now apps are starting to connect to other devices to control, synchronize or extend an experience.

I think we’re going to see more cross-channel design thinking in 2013 to address simultaneous multi-device usage, and frequent device hopping in a single workflow. Continuity between platforms will be important, but we don’t need to make the experience the same between devices. The user experience will morph with each context. We’ll need to design systems, not screens, to solve cross-channel experience design problems."

Dynamic programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dynamic programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Optimal substructure means that the solution to a given optimization problem can be obtained by the combination of optimal solutions to its subproblems. Consequently, the first step towards devising a dynamic programming solution is to check whether the problem exhibits such optimal substructure. Such optimal substructures are usually described by means of recursion. For example, given a graph G=(V,E), the shortest path p from a vertex u to a vertex v exhibits optimal substructure: take any intermediate vertex w on this shortest path p. If p is truly the shortest path, then the path p1 from u to w and p2 from w to v are indeed the shortest paths between the corresponding vertices (by the simple cut-and-paste argument described in Introduction to Algorithms). Hence, one can easily formulate the solution for finding shortest paths in a recursive manner, which is what the Bellman-Ford algorithm or the Floyd-Warshall algorithm does.

Dijkstra's algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dijkstra's algorithm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "For the current node, consider all of its unvisited neighbors and calculate their tentative distances. For example, if the current node A is marked with a distance of 6, and the edge connecting it with a neighbor B has length 2, then the distance to B (through A) will be 6+2=8. If this distance is less than the previously recorded tentative distance of B, then overwrite that distance. Even though a neighbor has been examined, it is not marked as "visited" at this time, and it remains in the unvisited set."

Howto Reset The Admin Password in Django
FEBRUARY 16, 2007 BY BRUCE KROEZE 27 COMMENTS
I keep needing to do this, darn it! I leave a project for a few months, possibly push it live, and then I go back to fire up the dev server but I simply cannot remember the password I used for admin during development."

Important Considerations When Building Single Page Web Apps | Nettuts+

Important Considerations When Building Single Page Web Apps | Nettuts+: "Single page web applications – or SPAs, as they are commonly referred to – are quickly becoming the de facto standard for web app development. The fact that a major part of the app runs inside a single web page makes it very interesting and appealing, and the accelerated growth of browser capabilities pushes us closer to the day, when all apps run entirely in the browser."

Assembly algorithms for next-generation sequencing ... [Genomics. 2010] - PubMed - NCBI

Assembly algorithms for next-generation sequencing ... [Genomics. 2010] - PubMed - NCBI: "Abstract
The emergence of next-generation sequencing platforms led to resurgence of research in whole-genome shotgun assembly algorithms and software. DNA sequencing data from the Roche 454, Illumina/Solexa, and ABI SOLiD platforms typically present shorter read lengths, higher coverage, and different error profiles compared with Sanger sequencing data. Since 2005, several assembly software packages have been created or revised specifically for de novo assembly of next-generation sequencing data. This review summarizes and compares the published descriptions of packages named SSAKE, SHARCGS, VCAKE, Newbler, Celera Assembler, Euler, Velvet, ABySS, AllPaths, and SOAPdenovo. More generally, it compares the two standard methods known as the de Bruijn graph approach and the overlap/layout/consensus approach to assembly."

To assemble the teams, two captains are drawn at lot from a Hogwarts-like sorting hat: Genevive and Ivan. After a few hours of contestants getting to know each other and their home "Nerdvana", the two captains are called to the front by Curtis and surprised when Bobby shows them their team colors — by pouring a chalice of a paint-like substance on their heads from behind. After a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors (which had three ties before a winner was determined), the teams alternate selections with the captains, and then each new team member pouring a chalice of the team color on a new teammates head in the same fashion.

Four-strand DNA structure found in cells : Nature News & Comment

Four-strand DNA structure found in cells : Nature News & Comment: "G-quadruplex visualized
This seems likely to be the case, Balasubramanian and colleagues found. They engineered an antibody that binds tightly and specifically to G-quadruplex structures and does not bind to double-stranded helical DNA. When they incubated the antibody with human cells in culture, they found that it bound to many different sites in the chromosomes, only around a quarter of them in telomeres.

“It’s early days, but if we can map exactly where these G-quadruplex structures pop up in the genome, we may learn how better to control genes or other cellular processes that go awry in diseases like cancer,” he says. “That’s the long-term vision anyway.’’

Four-strand DNA structure found in cells : Nature News & Comment

Four-strand DNA structure found in cells : Nature News & Comment: "There is no more iconic image in biology than that of DNA's double-stranded helix, which coils and supercoils on itself to form dense chromosomes.

But a quite different, square-shaped type of DNA structure can easily be created in the laboratory by the folding of synthetic DNA strands rich in guanine, one of the building blocks of DNA. Scientists have long believed that these so-called 'G-quadruplex structures' may occasionally form in the DNA of living cells. A G-quadruplex comprises four guanines from different places along a G-rich strand held together by a special type of hydrogen bonding to form a compact square structure that interrupts the DNA helix."

jQuery Blog » jQuery 1.9 RC1 and Migrate RC1 Released: "NEW! SOURCE MAPS

jQuery 1.9RC1 has added the ability to use source maps in browsers that support them. At the moment that’s just Google Chrome, but Mozilla Firefox is planning support as well.

What’s all this about? Well imagine that you are using compressed versions of your files on your production site, including a compressed version of jQuery. You get a report that an important customer is running into a problem. You could debug it a lot easier if you had the uncompressed source, but using that on your high-traffic production site isn’t an option. With source maps, you can let the browser’s debugger “map” the lines in the compressed file into the uncompressed source. That makes it so much easier to set breakpoints, inspect or change values, and see meaningful variable names. This video gives you a taste of what it can do."

Django Support - Google App Engine — Google Developers

Django Support - Google App Engine — Google Developers: "Alternate development database and settings

In an ideal setup, you would use an alternate database during development to avoid corrupting your production data while working on your project. You could create another database on your Google Cloud SQL instance for this, or you can even use a local MySQL database instead.

You will also need a system to allow for switching between project settings used exclusively in development, and those used in production. This can be accomplished in many different ways, one of which is shown in the following settings.py snippet:"
