ncurses alternative character set?
I'm exploring the ncurses library for Ruby 1.8, and am unclear how to
access the alternative character set (e.g. ACS_LTEE) from within Ruby.
For example:
require 'ncurses'
Ncurses.initscr
Ncurses.addstr Ncurses.ACS_LTEE
Ncurses.refresh
Ncurses.getch
Ncurses.endwin
doesn't print the left tee. How can I access the alternative character
set properly?

Is MySQL index a B+ tree ?
Assume I have 930 milliom records.
Doing a binary search takes 30 disk-reads, which I think, are too slow.
1. Is MySQL index a B-tree ?
2. Can I create an auxilliary index table (ie index of index) to speed up
the search ?
Thanks for advice.

imnoise on derivatives of an image
Hi,
I have the following situation:
- read an image (0..255 range); cast it to double precision;
- compute its gradient (dIdx and dIdy, which obviously will contain both positive and negative entries)
- try to add noise to the derivatives using imnoise function;
The result of imnoise is scaled from 0 to 1.
My question is how can I cast it back to its original range, which should contain both negative, and positive entries, without losing any information?
Should imnoise only be used on images with positive intensity values?
In this case, how do I scale the derivatives (shift, mayb

"Even a 'genius' can't use Linux"
Or so the "genius" WinTrolls would have you believe.
I finally broke down and bought a $10, 64MB nVidia MX440 video card to
replace my onboard Intel graphics chip. (Yeah, I'm a big spender.) So how
hard was that to set it up in Linux? I've done it twice (and I'm going to
get one for the CentOS box as well).
In VectorLinux I had to run VASM (VectorLinux Administration and System
Menu) in root and set up X Windows. (VASM is used for just about any
change in VectorLinux.) It asked if I wanted to load the nVidia
proprietary drivers, I clicked yes, and watched as VectorLinux ins

matlab jomework help...
This assignment is based on the optical communication example in Lecture 14 notes. If the laser is on, the detector output is a Poisson random variable with an expected value of 1,300. Otherwise, if the laser is off, the detector output is a Poisson random variable with an expected value of 800 photons. The receiver decides that the laser is on if the number of photons counted is larger a threshold
Simulate this scenario in MATLAB or other suitable software. You will need to write a function to generate binomial random variable (for generating 0's and 1's to indicate laser to be off or on)

feature extraction and neural network classification
Good day everyone. Im new in matlab and currently doing a Chinese handwriting recognition using neural netwotk. I have done the image processing part which are cropping, grayscale n binarize stuff by refer at image processing tutorial. So im now stuck, that is after i binarize the character image, how could i extract the feature to used to train in neural network?
I have also explore the nprtool, it needs a dataset which is mat-file to be trained is it? How could i create the mat-file from the features that extract?

Parsing "for" clause
According to formal shell grammar http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html
the "for" clause is defined by following productions:
for_clause : For name linebreak
do_group
| For name linebreak in sequential_sep
do_group
| For name linebreak in wordlist sequential_sep
do_group
As can be seen from them, if there is no "in" reserved word, there can
be no sequential_sep before do_group.
However, all available to me shells (ksh, bash, dash, posh) accept
both forms:
for i do echo $i; done
for i; do echo $i

In your opinion, what method is the most efficient for looping the data...
i'm always trying to optimize my code even if the one in place works
ok...
I've read, a long time ago, that to make it more efficient when
looping the data from MySQL, the fastest you open the connection and
close the connection to the database, the better it is.
So, i was wondering, what is better: Open the database, put all data
in an array, close the database and use the array to process data OR
open the database, process the data and close the database.
Any ideas what method is better? Maybe both are equally more
efficient...

Optimization with a variable of very huge dimension.

Regression to classify ham and spam emails.

parameter vector theta (that is the weights of words in emails). The
problem is that dimension of the vector theta is equal the number of
words in the training set that is a huge number (150,000).
I am wondering if it is possible to use MATLAB optimization tool box
for problems with variable of 150,000 dimensions.
If it is impossible, is there any free optimization tool that I can

Pi approximation function optimization

I've tried a couple different methods of writing a program to find a better approximation, but all I can come up with is a massive number of loops that would take way too long for my computer to process.

putting bodeplot() and raw data subplots in same plot

However, is it possible to overlay another set of raw data (not a bodeplot) onto the 2 subplots of the figure that bodeplot creates? Basically, I have a bunch of x & y data for freq & phase (taken from an oscilloscope) that I can create a bode plot from using semilogx(), but i want to combine/overlay the two plots onto one figure.

Hi
Does anyone know if there's a function in matlab that compares the sign of two values? i.e it checks if they are both negative or positive?

Structure indexing/quick value determination
Hola,
I'm trying to evaluate a structure that contains stations and large arrays of times and amplitudes. for example:
struct(1,2).name, 'hnps'
struct(1,2).number 119
struct(1,2).amp, <2925x1 double>
struct(1,2).time, <2925x1 double>
struct(1,2).mamp,
struct(1,2).skew,
struct(1,2).kurt,
struct(1,2).kosm
I need to find the amplitude (or other value) at a specific time, but the number of data points in .amp and .time will vary. What is the best way to do this? Also, what is the best way to index a struct

Safari is so Irritating
I note that it won't let me connect to WellsFargo.com. Again. I'm not
sure whether this is because it's a new version or WellsFargo needs to
update it's build-list or what. I tried three times, accessed it
easily with Firefox. Quit, tried Safari again, and nothing.
Oh well.

Dir.glob problem
In the program Im making I need to read some wma files into a variable
and I did like this:
songs = Dir.glob("C:\\Users\\Public\\Music\\Sample Music\\*.wma")
Note that this is NOT the wrong directory, I've copy pasted it from the
map itself and also the files are wma and nothing else. My programming
teacher has no idea why this dosnt work and the other ppl I've talked
with dosnt know either. Most said something like "aside from a simple
mistake like wrong directory/extension, I don't know what could be going
wrong." So now this forum is my last resort, why on earth dosnt this
work

[9fans] watching plumber
Hello,
I wanted to add a plumbing rule. I added this:
type is text
data matches '[^{}]+'
data matches '(figs/([a-zA-Z0-9[\].-_]*/)*)([a-zA-Z0-9.-_]+)'
arg isdir $1
plumb start grep $2 $1/_source | sed -e 's/\.eps/.g/' | \
plumb -i -d edit
However, it doesn't work. Is there any simple way how one can analyze
what is wrong? I.e. to see that some rules are matched, others not, so
that one can get the idea where the problem is (how far in the rules
one gets)?
Also. When having a rule like this
data matches '(abc(def)*)(ghi)'
what is going to be in $1, $2... Is ghi the co

Converting CHAR_MAX+1 to char?
What happens in this case?
char c = CHAR_MAX + 1;
Not sure what happens. The spec only defines behavior for signed and
unsigned integral types it seems. Is the behavior undefined?

converting datetime with tzinfo to unix timestamp
On Python 2.5 here.
I've searched and searched but I can't find any way to convert a
datetime object that includes a timezone (tzinfo) to a unix timestamp.
Folks on the net say to simply use the timetuple() method of the object
and feed that to time.mktime(). But that just doesn't seem to work for
me. At least if my understanding that the unix timestamp is always UTC.
I'm using the pytz module to create a datetime object of a certain
timezone. For example:
import pytz
import datetime
import time
mountain = pytz.timezone("US/Mountain") # MST or MDT depending on date

XPath question.
I have a document which has two elements: ValueOverride and ValueDefault
For example:
<MyDoc>
<ValueOverride>The override value</ValueOverride>
<ValueDefault>The default value</ValueDefault>
</MyDoc>
I need a single XPath expression that will return ValueOverride if it is
non-empty, and ValueDefault otherwise.
Is this possible to do with XPath?
Thanks,
Daniel.
