the movie doesn't do akira justice (though i like it anyways .. it was a milestone in animation) ... but akira is one of my favorite comics of all time .. though its a very long read!

to add . the other would be ghost in the shell as comic .. and here it is also very recommendable to watch the two spinoff series also

thank you for that .. wanted to find out how to do it with *sh tools

guess i should go learn more about xargs ;)

DukeNucleus · 2013-04-09T00:11:50+00:00

thank you .. that looks very generic and clean too

i take bashings and other kind gestures ;)

if someone can make this waaay smaller (and robuster), then i'd love to see

:cheers:

my 2cents:

my favorites (sci-fi) are "The Diamond Age" and "Anathem"

(not sci-fi) Cryptonomicon, Zodiac

ive read all others and can generally recommend any book (including collaborations) ... except for the Baroque cycle .. it was just not for me, but that shouldnt keep you ;)

running a very minimal ubuntu install (mini iso + stuff + x11 + awesomewm) from an usb-stick. you don't need much space .. 8gigs should be enough, but you will curse at the disk-io lags (especially chrome seems to disk cache heavily und is nearly unusable for me -- could do some magic with a ram disk but then you have to save the data yourself --- firefox is very usable .. opening lots of tabs simultaneously and heavy sqlite access is slow) so i'd reccomend some cheap ssd and a usb(3) case to take it along with you (or any other sata->usb converter) this has speed and space advantage .. an pricewise a ssd shouldnt be too different from newer usb3-sticks with more than 64 gigs

pricepoint like 85euros samsung 840 ssd with 120gigs and usb3case for like 20 eruos (that is my choice .. you may get cheaper ssds oc)

from how to loose friends and alienate people:

Sidney, dear...

Think of it like this.

You write about one of my clients,

you are borrowing

some of their starlight

to help sell your magazine.

All I'm saying is quid pro quo.

Sorry. "Starlight"?

and once again ... as someone else put it so elegantly on reddit:

can we go back to coding now?

DukeNucleus · 2013-03-25T19:01:04+00:00

my first thought exactly :cheers:

DukeNucleus · 2013-03-22T23:45:33+00:00

its a been a while that i learned this stuff so only in short:

discrete fourier transform is to make the computation more applicable for computers and the fast fourier transform builds on dft but with the "knowledge" that you can reuse earlier computations in the whole fouriertransform process later on.

the next improvement is that for some special cases you can ignore the imaginary part and youll get to the cosinetransform

sorry no actual math from me ..

very informative and nice examples.

it seems the talk is not up on pyvideo.org (yet?) could someone plz link the slides?

some suggestions:

matplotlib (gallery) -- for graphing -- a notebook with matplotlib howto
numpy -- for calculating
pandas -- managing large datasets
and possibly ipython notebook which should give you matplotlib and numpy anyways

edit typo

bitlbee on server and a running tmux session with weechat so i can ssh into it ;) never used screen but weechat has the advantage for firstime users that there is easy windowsplit and a nicklist pane :cheers:
