Last Saturday we had the Short North gallery hop . Hundreds of people came through our gallery to see art. The guys helped me set up the Oculus and a projector on the wall. Sometimes I had to go out and pull people in, but most of the time, there was a line. My favorite customer by far was this kid: He jumped right in and played like a pro. The mother (recording video) was super supportive and excited.

Amazon, I quit. I tried, Amazon. I really did. For the last few months I tried to make it work with an EC2 instance for Gastropoda. I tried two main methods of deployment, both of which worked sporadically at various points:

Frequently while coding I need to know the internal and external IP address of my development machine. For example, when your machine is serving a website from a locally running web server, the internal IP address can be used to test the site from a smartphone browser connected to the same network. Likewise, the external IP address is useful when you want to make a local web server publicly accessible or when you need to whitelist your IP a..

in which we explore lazy sequences and common functional idioms in Clojure via the example of looking for (nearly) coincident clusters of times in a series. A fundamental technical problem in experimental particle physics is how to distinguish the signatures of particles from instrumental noise. Imagine a tree full of hundreds of sparrows, each nesting on a branch, each chirping away occasionally. Suddenly, for a brief moment,....

I ran into the need to access the internet from a VirtualBox VM via host-only networking. Of course, you’re saying “There’s a better way to do that!” And of course, I agree: with no other considerations, the best way to do this is to simply add another NIC to the VM configured as NAT instead of host-only. However, I’m trying to test out some new networking ideas for my OpenStack Network node, and it doesn’t have a NIC configured with NAT.

this post is about an all-italian open source release, so it’s going to be in italian FatturaElettronicaPA è un nuovo progetto open source che ho rilasciato qualche giorno fa assieme alla mia azienda . Si tratta di una libreria C# che permette di leggere, scrivere e convalidare le Fatture Elettroniche aderenti alle specifiche del sistema di interscambio della Pubblica Amministrazione.

Last time we saw a number of properties of graphs, such as connectivity, where the probability that an Erdős–Rényi random graph $ G(n,p)$ satisfies the property is asymptotically either zero or one. And this zero or one depends on whether the parameter $ p$ is above or below a universal threshold (that depends only on $ n$ and the property in question). To remind the reader, the Erdős–Rényi random “graph” $ G(n,p)$ is a distribution over gr..

You might want to write code that can tell how many iterations have passed since some action occurred. Alternatively, you might want to know if it’s the first time a machine has run Puppet . To do these types of things, you might wish to have a monotonically increasing counter in your Puppet manifest. Since one did not exist, I set out to build one! The code : If you just want to try the code, and skip the ramble, you can include c..

I finished last week's map. It has some spinny things. Then I made this week's map. Who knew purple and green could look so... not terrible? Anyway, this puts me ahead of schedule. There are three levels remaining. My goal is to for the game to be playable from start to finish by the end of February. It's ambitious, but I'm confident I can do it!

Tom Christie has some very good things to say on how to successfully maintain an open source project without losing sanity. Truth one: There are, and will always be, a non-finite number of possible valid issues to address. Your code can always be better polished, your APIs better defined, and your project more fully featured. Your documentation can always be better. The ecosystem within which your project lives is constantly evolving. Y..

In the final part of the series, we will focus on how to handle your heavy operations like network calls in threads. This part is useful for those who does not rely on any libraries for that.

Flask-Sentinel is a OAuth2 Server implementation of the Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant pattern described in Section 1.3.3 of RFC 6749 . It is powered by Flask-Oauthlib, Redis and MongoDB and is bundled as a Flask extension so it can be used to add OAuth2 capabilities to an existing application. So what is the Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant pattern? According to the official RFC: The resource owner password cred..

Last time we left off with a tantalizing conjecture: a random graph with edge probability $ p = 5/n$ is almost surely a connected graph. We arrived at that conjecture from some ad-hoc data analysis, so let’s go back and treat it with some more rigorous mathematical techniques. As we do, we’ll discover some very interesting “threshold theorems” that essentially say a random graph will either certainly have a property, or it will certainly no..

So what do you do when you have an old PowerBook that still works but can’t run the latest operating system (OS) and software? Well, you could sell it - but it won’t fetch much at all (less than $50 in most cases). A better option is to install a currently-supported OS that runs really well on limited hardware…….in other words, install Linux on it! I recently installed the latest version of Debian Linux on my PowerBook G4 to make it use..

Back in January of 2012, Russ Cox posted an excellent blog post detailing how Google Code Search had worked, using a trigram index. By that point, I’d already implemented early versions of my own livegrep source-code search engine, using a different indexing approach that I developed independently, with input from a few friends. This post is my long-overdue writeup of how it works. Suffix Arrays A suffix array is a data structure used for f..

As I mentioned in the previous entry I had started work on a new project I called portfold. Built and released without fanfare I have quietly killed it before even the month is out. Why? I realise now that it was a rebound project similar to a rebound relationship. I had been getting a little down on searchcode.com and wanted to branch out to some new technology. Once done though the itch was scratched and now I am back to working on search..

This week was crazy productive. I finished last week's level, finished another level, which looks like this: ...which also included some story-related writing and scripting, and actually started working on NEXT week's level, which looks like this: I seem to be on a purple streak lately. Actually, purple may rise unintentionally to be the most prominent color in the game. Also, this last level is apparently a subconscious ode to Mo..
