So far our discussion of learning theory has been seeing the definition of PAC-learning, tinkering with it, and seeing simple examples of learnable concept classes. We’ve said that our real interest is in proving big theorems about what big classes of problems can and can’t be learned. One major tool for doing this with PAC is the concept of VC-dimension, but to set the stage we’re going to prove a simpler theorem that gives a nice picture ..

Quite some time ago, in a life before this one, I wrote an article that gained quite a bit of attention titled, “The Comprehensive Terminal Guide”. Someday, I hope to update and re-release that piece here. Meanwhile, Craig Hockenberry wrote and published an even longer, even more in-depth, and undoubtedly much better article than mine simply titled, “ The Terminal ”. Although he geared his more towards power users, users of all skill levels..

Integrating SABnzbd with Freenas, Couchpotato, Sickbeard and Headphones

My post about setting up Freenas with the plugins Couchpotato, Sickbeard and Transmission to stream movies and tv-shows got pretty popular. One point of criticism was the lack of SABnzbd-integration. SABnzbd is a Open Source Binary Newsreader, meaning you can download your favorite movies and tv-shows from the Usenet, where more content exists every torrent-provider has to offer. Now I am going to catch up on this gap and present you a ....

Despite the title, this is actually a technical post about Oracle, disk I/O and Exadata & Oracle In-Memory Database Option performance. Read on :) If a car dealer tells you that this fancy new car on display goes 10 times (or 100 or 1000) faster than any of your previous ones, then either the salesman is lying or this new car is doing something radically different from all the old ones. You don’t just get orders of magnitude perform..

This is just incredible. We as a species have a tendency to hold ourselves above all things both animate and inanimate in this world. Humans place themselves above nature, animals, and even one another. The trope of an invincible teenager is not exclusive to that age group, for at some level we all consider ourselves untouchable. And then, in the midst of this mis-placed mixture of entitlement and pride, videos like this appear to put us ..

Getting to Know Fiddler: Part VI: Use FiddlerScript to identify common problems

Our tour of Fiddler has covered a lot of ground so far, and while there's still more to cover, I'm going to have to let you in on a secret before we can continue. The UI is definitely powerful, but here's the thing: it's not the killer feature. The real killer feature is FiddlerScript. Getting Started Fiddler already detects invalid requests and broken responses. What more could we possibly add, you might ask.

SSH::Batch is a simple command line tool, written in Perl, that allows you to run shell commands over SSH across multiple servers. These days it seems most people turn to Puppet / Chef / Ansible for that type of thing, but sometimes your needs aren't that complicated. For that, SSH::Batch fills the gap nicely and it's really simple to get started.

OrderedDict is a super handy data structure. An OrderedDict is a dict that remembers the order that keys were first inserted. If a new entry overwrites an existing entry, the original insertion position is left unchanged. Deleting an entry and reinserting it will move it to the end. Problem is, this stuff is only available in the standard library since Python 2.7 while my project also needs to support Python 2.6. Fortunately there..

Update July 8, 2019 : Added more graceful pipe | and backslash \ handling. While doing code reviews on GitHub I find myself profiling a lot of SQL queries, getting EXPLAIN output into a markdown format for GitHub became very important, and was a huge pain to do by hand. While there were tools out there, nothing I could easily copy and paste tab seperated query results into, so I created this. The markdown this outputs should work with m..

JavaZone is winding down as I’m starting to write this although I’ll probably post this after the videos are up to reference some of the interesting sessions I saw. Unfortunately JavaZone doesn’t post workshop videos so my workshop won’t be available, but frankly it wouldn’t have worked well in video since it was relatively interactive hence there was no presentation flow. You can see the gist of the workshop in the video I posted ..

Today I want to describe how to set up the Headphones plugin in my Freenas-box. I’m still running Freenas 9.2.1 on a HP ProLiant G7 MicroServer N54L (affiliate link). I already set up Freenas with Transmission, Couchpotato, Sickbeard and a DLNA -Server. It downloads and stream movies and streams it to my TV . I’m using this setup now for quite a while. I also had Headphones already running, but it wasn’t installed as a plugin. It....

iOS 8 and iPhone 6/6+ are nearly upon us and Codename One is ready for both! We’ve just added device skins for iOS 6 and 6+, notice that due to the very high resolution you might want to disable scrolling. Notice that those skins are ridiculously large and as such might trigger an out of memory error when you try to run. To fix this just go to the project properties and select the run section. In it select the VM options and configure -Xm..

I took a one-month break from Gastropoda to participate in the JS13kGames challenge with a tiny game called Breaking Brad But now it’s back to simulations! It’s taking me a while to remember where exactly I left off with Gastropoda last month, but now I think it’s time to figure out how to calculate a snail’s position within a jar. This is important because each snail will detect other objects (items, snails, etc) differently based on..
