Whiteboard Picture Cleaner - Shell one-liner/script to clean up and beautify photos of whiteboards!

Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"

From a random sample of all documents in a MarkLogic database, returns a list of distinct paths to the leaf element whose local name matches a regular expression. You wouldn’t want to do this on the whole database because the XPath is very expensive.

cts:search(collection(), cts:and-query(()), ("unfiltered","score-random"))[1 to 100]

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.

How to simplify the graph produced by git log --graph

Ideas for improvements to git log --graph

I will maybe someday get around to dusting off my C and making these changes myself unless someone else does it first.

Make the graph for --topo-order less wiggly

Imagine a long-running development branch periodically merges from master. The git log --graph --all --topo-order is not as simple as it could be, as of git version 1.7.10.4.

It doesn't seem like a big deal in this example, but when you're trying to follow the history trails in ASCII and you've got several different branches displayed at once, it gets difficult quickly.

PrintCompilation on different versions of HotSpot VM

About PrintCompilation

This note tries to document the output of PrintCompilation flag in HotSpot VM. It was originally intended to be a reply to a blog post on PrintCompilation from Stephen Colebourne. It's kind of grown too big to fit as a reply, so I'm putting it here.

Written by: Kris Mok rednaxelafx@gmail.com

Most of the contents in this note are based on my reading of HotSpot source code from OpenJDK and experimenting with the VM flags; otheres come from HotSpot mailing lists and other reading materials listed in the "References" section.

Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi.

Answer by Jim Dennis on Stack Overflow question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-most-productive-shortcut-with-vim/1220118#1220118

Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi.

You mention cutting with yy and complain that you almost never want to cut whole lines. In fact programmers, editing source code, very often want to work on whole lines, ranges of lines and blocks of code. However, yy is only one of many way to yank text into the anonymous copy buffer (or "register" as it's called in vi).

The "Zen" of vi is that you're speaking a language. The initial y is a verb. The statement yy is a simple statement which is, essentially, an abbreviation for 0 y$:

0 go to the beginning of this line. y yank from here (up to where?)
