Finite automata and string matching: "The KMP algorithm works by turning the pattern it's given into a machine, and then running the machine. The hard part of KMP is finding the machine.
We need some restrictions on what we mean by "program". This is where "deterministic & finite" come from."

Finite-state machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Finite-state machine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "A finite-state machine (FSM) or finite-state automaton (plural: automata), or simply a state machine, is a mathematical model of computation used to design both computer programs and sequential logic circuits. It is conceived as an abstract machine that can be in one of a finite number of states. The machine is in only one state at a time; the state it is in at any given time is called the current state. It can change from one state to another when initiated by a triggering event or condition; this is called a transition. A particular FSM is defined by a list of its states, and the triggering condition for each transition."

Bayesian gene/species tree reconciliation and... [Bioinformatics. 2003] - PubMed - NCBI
Bayesian gene/species tree reconciliation and... [Bioinformatics. 2003] - PubMed - NCBI: "MOTIVATION: Comparative genomics in general and orthology analysis in particular are becoming increasingly important parts of gene function prediction. Previously, orthology analysis and reconciliation has been performed only with respect to the parsimony model. This discards many plausible solutions and sometimes precludes finding the correct one. In many other areas in bioinformatics probabilistic models have proven to be both more realistic and powerful than parsimony models"

Tree Reconciliation | iPlant Collaborative Web Portal: "The primary goal of the Tree Reconciliation Working Group is to develop an infrastructure to perform large species-gene tree reconciliations involving thousands of taxa and thousands of gene families. Such an infrastructure, able to process datasets of this magnitude, will prove indispensable given the pace at which the genomes of the different species are being sequenced. The iPlant Tree Reconciliation platform is composed of three elements: an analytical pipeline, a database and a visualizer."

Elegant Code » Basic JavaScript: Prototypical Inheritance vs. Functional Inheritance
Elegant Code » Basic JavaScript: Prototypical Inheritance vs. Functional Inheritance: "In ‘classical’ programming languages, one class can directly inherit from another class. JavaScript doesn’t have this notion of classes (yet). Instead, JavaScript has prototypes which you can augment to fit your own needs. This means that having a single augmented object as the prototype for other objects, which ‘inherit’ all members of the augmented prototype object, kind of simulates a pseudo-classical inheritance pattern. Let’s talk code in order to demystify this concept."

Using stash not only resets your working tree back to the starting point but also stashes the result of the applying the previous sledgehammer. Then you can apply your new sledgehammer and use git diff stash to review how it changed your original working tree differently than the previous sledgehammer. In this way, you can more easily verify that adjusting your sledgehammer worked as expected. Once everything looks good, git commit as usual."

Middleware | Django documentation | Django: "Middleware is a framework of hooks into Django’s request/response processing. It’s a light, low-level “plugin” system for globally altering Django’s input or output.
Each middleware component is responsible for doing some specific function. For example, Django includes a middleware component, TransactionMiddleware, that wraps the processing of each HTTP request in a database transaction.
This document explains how middleware works, how you activate middleware, and how to write your own middleware. Django ships with some built-in middleware you can use right out of the box. They’re documented in the built-in middleware reference.

At the end of sensors-detect, a list of modules that needs to be loaded will displayed. Type "yes" to have sensors-detect insert those modules into /etc/modules, or edit /etc/modules yourself.
Next, run sudo service module-init-tools restart This will read the changes you made to /etc/modules in step 3, and insert the new modules into the kernel.

How To Train Your Robot | Dr. Techniko's Children's Stories and Games
How To Train Your Robot | Dr. Techniko's Children's Stories and Games: "The goal is for the robots to go through an obstacle course, pick up a ball and bring it back. The kids have to write a program that will tell the robot how to do all that. Every time they write a program, they hand it to their robot and the robot executes it. To do that, I give each kid a pen and paper where they copy symbols from the dictionary to write their programs and off their robots go!"
Tcl the misunderstood
Tcl the misunderstood: "In my programming life I have used a lot of languages to write different kind of applications: many free/paywork programs in C, a web CMS in Scheme, a number of networking/web applications in Tcl, a shop management system in Python, and so on. I used to play with a number of other programming languages like Smalltalk, Self, FORTH, Ruby, Joy,... And yet, I have no doubt, that there is no language that is as misunderstood in the programming community as Tcl is."

Astronomy Picture of the Day
Astronomy Picture of the Day: "Why does a volcanic eruption sometimes create lightning? Pictured above, the Sakurajima volcano in southern Japan was caught erupting in early January. Magma bubbles so hot they glow shoot away as liquid rock bursts through the Earth's surface from below. The above image is particularly notable, however, for the lightning bolts caught near the volcano's summit. Why lightning occurs even in common thunderstorms remains a topic of research, and the cause of volcanic lightning is even less clear. Surely, lightning bolts help quench areas of opposite but separated electric charges. One hypothesis holds that catapulting magma bubbles or volcanic ash are themselves electrically charged, and by their motion create these separated areas. Other volcanic lightning episodes may be facilitated by charge-inducing collisions in volcanic dust. Lightning is usually occurring somewhere on Earth, typically over 40 times each second."

Data URI scheme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Data URI scheme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The data URI scheme is a URI scheme (Uniform Resource Identifier scheme) that provides a way to include data in-line in web pages as if they were external resources. This technique allows normally separate elements such as images and style sheets to be fetched in a single HTTP request rather than multiple HTTP requests, which can be more efficient."

New Tricks in XMLHttpRequest2 - HTML5 Rocks
New Tricks in XMLHttpRequest2 - HTML5 Rocks: "An ArrayBuffer is a generic fixed-length container for binary data. They are super handy if you need a generalized buffer of raw data, but the real power behind these guys is that you can create "views" of the underlying data using JavaScript typed arrays. In fact, multiple views can be created from a single ArrayBuffer source. For example, you could create an 8-bit integer array that shares the same ArrayBuffer as an existing 32-bit integer array from the same data. The underlying data remains the same, we just create different representations of it.

Solar Wind Energy Source Discovered - NASA Science
Solar Wind Energy Source Discovered - NASA Science: "Ion cyclotron waves are made of protons that circle in wavelike-rhythms around the sun's magnetic field. According to a theory developed by Phil Isenberg (University of New Hampshire) and expanded by Vitaly Galinsky and Valentin Shevchenko (UC San Diego), ion cyclotron waves emanate from the sun; coursing through the solar wind, they heat the gas to millions of degrees and accelerate its flow to millions of miles per hour. Kasper's findings confirm that ion cyclotron waves are indeed active, at least in the vicinity of Earth where the Wind probe operates."

Breaking down Amazon’s mega dropdown - Ben Kamens: "At every position of the cursor you can picture a triangle between the current mouse position and the upper and lower right corners of the dropdown menu. If the next mouse position is within that triangle, the user is probably moving their cursor into the currently displayed submenu. Amazon uses this for a nice effect. As long as the cursor stays within that blue triangle the current submenu will stay open. It doesn’t matter if the cursor hovers over “Appstore for Android” momentarily — the user is probably heading toward “Learn more about Cloud Drive.”

Don't Be Distracted by Superior Technology
Don't Be Distracted by Superior Technology: "The technology world is filled with cases where smart and superior alternatives exist, but their existence makes no difference because you can't use them. 1980s UNIX was incredibly stable compared to MS-DOS, but it was irrelevant if you intended to use MS-DOS software. Clojure and Factor are wonderful languages, but if you want to write iOS games then you're better off pretending you've never heard of them. Not only are they not good options for iOS, at least not at the moment, but going so against the grain brings extra work and headaches with it. "

In my most recent work, leitmotifs, transformations and poly-spatial oppositions are all used within poly-statically-chaotic energies, allowing the audience to deconstruct a variety of aleatoric polychords. My performance-system is the only one of its kind, due in part to the inclusion of highly-improvisatory chordophone-modules, with a hint of so-called 'chordophone-melodies'. One of my most symmetrical influences is the concept of transposing technological vibrations, which challenges my composition and causes my process to become somewhat pre-conceived. It must be remembered that mixing chorales, especially if they are almost-heterophonic (or even temporal), should be avoided. My most personal texture always features strongly in any of my 12-tone compositions. Working actively means that my focus is always predominantly-based, and never complex."

He explores intricacies of organizational design in engineering and explains how making intentional decisions throughout growth ensures that you don’t lose the things that are unique and special about being a startup. At the end of the day, it’s *your* job as a CTO to think about how engineering can be organized and optimized."

Calculating unknown eigenvalues with a quantum algorithm : Nature Photonics : Nature Publishing Group
Calculating unknown eigenvalues with a quantum algorithm : Nature Photonics : Nature Publishing Group: "A quantum algorithm solves computational tasks using fewer physical resources than the best-known classical algorithm. Of most interest are those for which an exponential reduction is achieved. The key example is the phase estimation algorithm, which provides the quantum speedup in Shor's factoring algorithm and quantum simulation algorithms. To date, fully quantum experiments of this type have demonstrated only the read-out stage of quantum algorithms, but not the steps in which input data is read in and processed to calculate the final quantum state. Indeed, knowing the answer beforehand was essential. We present a photonic demonstration of a full quantum algorithm—the iterative phase estimation algorithm (IPEA)—without knowing the answer in advance. This result suggests practical applications of the phase estimation algorithm, including quantum simulations and quantum metrology in the near term, and factoring in the long term."
