Why it’s hard to be a highly sensitive (HSP) introvert - Dr. Susan Biali

Why it’s hard to be a highly sensitive (HSP) introvert -  Dr. Susan Biali: "Let’s go out for a lovely dinner instead - introverts prefer meaningful one on one conversations to large group experiences, and HSPs yearn to connect deeply, discussing rich complex topics."

Are You More Introverted or Extroverted?

Are You More Introverted or Extroverted?: "More importantly what do you do to coexist with people who are different? If you're an introvert (like me), you might recharge best by spending several hours alone. That might cause friction, though, if you have extroverted friends or significant others who prefer to go out or socialize frequently."

Jef Claes: Not handling edge cases, making them explicit instead

Jef Claes: Not handling edge cases, making them explicit instead: "There is this misconception that because we now have computers, they should solve all our problems, even all the edge cases. Edge cases - by definition - only happen at extreme conditions, and are regularly hard to take care of in a satisfactory manner, without a considerable investment. By making edge cases explicit, we allow a human to intervene, and decide on the best solution for the problem."

animal BIOACOUSTICS: "animal BIOACOUSTICS is the study of sound in non-human animals. It includes acoustic communication, sound production mechanisms, auditory anatomy and function, sonar, acoustic tracking, and the effects of human-made and environmental noise on animals. Each discipline within the scope of bioacoustics has opened up exciting new areas of inquiry."

Backbonification: migrating a large JavaScript project from DOM spaghetti to Backbone.js | OfBrooklyn.com: "On the left there is a list of feeds inside a list of folders. These folders and feeds can be embedded inside each other, creating a recursive structure that can be easily assembled by Backbone.js. Each feed view also contains an unread count, a feed title, a favicon, and a feed menu. All of these views are generated by their respective parents. Your job at this stage is to simply figure out what those views are so you can create the appropriate models, views, and controllers (routers)."

Naive Bayes classifier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Naive Bayes classifier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In simple terms, a naive Bayes classifier assumes that the presence or absence of a particular feature is unrelated to the presence or absence of any other feature, given the class variable. For example, a fruit may be considered to be an apple if it is red, round, and about 3" in diameter. A naive Bayes classifier considers each of these features to contribute independently to the probability that this fruit is an apple, regardless of the presence or absence of the other features."

Structural similarity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Structural similarity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The structural similarity (SSIM) index is a method for measuring the similarity between two images. The SSIM index is a full reference metric; in other words, the measuring of image quality based on an initial uncompressed or distortion-free image as reference. SSIM is designed to improve on traditional methods like peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and mean squared error (MSE), which have proven to be inconsistent with human eye perception."

Approximating Images With Random Lines - SickSad

Approximating Images With Random Lines - SickSad: "The algorithm works by randomly placing 40 black lines on 40 copies of a blank source image, each of those 40 is then compared to the goal image using SSIM to measure similarity. If any of the 40 are more similar than the source image that image is used as the source for the next iteration of the algorithm. If none of the 40 are more similar then the algorithm repeats with the original source image until a closer similarity is found."

Effectively managing memory at Gmail scale - HTML5 Rocks

Effectively managing memory at Gmail scale - HTML5 Rocks: "The young generation heap in V8 is split into two spaces, named from and to. Memory is allocated from the to space. Allocating is very fast, until, the to space is full at which point a young generation collection is triggered. Young generation collection first swaps the from and to space, the old to space (now the from space) is scanned and all live values are copied into the to space or tenured into the old generation. A typical young generation collection will take on the order of 10 milliseconds (ms)."

JavaScript grid editor: I want to be Excel | Eltit Golb

JavaScript grid editor: I want to be Excel | Eltit Golb: "How many times did you hear users asking you: “something simple, a grid like excel”?

When I was a VB programmer, oh yes, I have this dark spot on my career, and it is not the only one… this request threw me in panic. Usually what your “killer” is asking you is not what you, programmer, are thinking of (namely the power of cell functions, programmability, graph etc., that probably your “killer” does not even imagine): what they are thinking about is the editor flexibility, the ability to add columns, rows, move cells blocks, copy and paste from different sources."

Data is filled starting from a JS object, calling methods, or from an html table.  Some of these implementation supply callback methods that can be used to interact server side."

DTAG: A Digital Acoustic Recording Tag : Marine Mammal Behavior Laboratory

DTAG: A Digital Acoustic Recording Tag : Marine Mammal Behavior Laboratory: "Definitive studies on the response of marine mammals to anthropogenic sound are hampered by the short surface time and deep-diving lifestyle of many species. A novel archival tag, called the DTAG, has been developed to monitor the behavior of marine mammals, and their response to sound, continuously throughout the dive cycle. The tag contains a large array of solid-state memory and records continuously from a built-in hydrophone and suite of sensors. The sensors sample the orientation of the animal in three dimensions with sufficient speed and resolution to capture individual fluke strokes. Audio and sensor recording is synchronous so the relative timing of sounds and motion can be determined precisely (Johnson & Tyack 2003)."

The Buffett Formula — How To Get Smarter

The Buffett Formula — How To Get Smarter: "Warren Buffett says, “I just sit in my office and read all day.” What does that mean? He estimates that he spends 80% of his working day reading and thinking.

“You could hardly find a partnership in which two people settle on reading more hours of the day than in ours,” Charlie Munger commented.

When asked how to get smarter, Buffett once held up stacks of paper and said “read 500 pages like this every day. That’s how knowledge builds up, like compound interest.”
