Normally we build from source code by sudo make, but it seems always slow in a more awkward way. Let's see the flags by sudo make -h:

Usage: make [options] [target] ...
Options:
  -b, -m                      Ignored for compatibility.
  -B, --always-make           Unconditionally make all targets.
  -C DIRECTORY, --directory=DIRECTORY
                              Change to DIRECTORY before doing anything.
  -d                          Print lots of debugging information.
  --debug[=FLAGS]             Print various types of debugging information.

For Ubuntu users who wandering to support newer versions of hardware or getting new features, it's recommaned to update Ubuntu kernel. We could do it by sudo gedit updatekernel.sh && chmod -x updatekernel.sh && bash updatekernel.sh to create a bash script named updatekernel.sh in current folder and paste the code below before saved. Then it automatically set executable permission and run to update your Ubuntu kernel to the newest version.

KERNELVER="$(wget -qO- http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | awk -F'\"v' '/v[4-9]./{print $2}' | cut -d/ -f1 | grep -v -  | sort -V | tail -1)"
SYSTYPE="$(dpkg --print-architecture)"
[ "$SYSTYPE" = "amd64" ] && KERNEL="$(wget -qO- http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v${KERNELVER}/ | grep "linux-image" | grep "generic" | awk -F'\">' '/amd64.deb/{print $2}' | cut -d'<' -f1 | head -1)"
[ "$SYSTYPE" = "i386" ] && KERNEL="$(wget -qO- http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v${KERNELVER}/ | grep "linux-image" | grep "generic" | awk -F'\">' '/

It is required to edit /etc/sysctl.conf by sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf and add the configuration below to the end of the file.

net.core.default_qdisc = fq
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = bbr
net.ipv4.tcp_fastopen = 3

This means to config Google BBR and TCP fastopen support on your operation system. Want another choice or check if the Google BBR supported by default, type sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_available_congestion_control to show all supported congestion control modules.

Use sudo sysctl -p to apply the changes to your operation system. Check if BBR module is installed in kernelvuse lsmod | grep bbr and find if string bbr is in outputs.

In C/C++, we can define multidimensional arrays in simple words as array of arrays. Data in multidimensional arrays are stored in tabular form (in row major order). A dynamic 2D array is basically an array of pointers to arrays. So you first need to initialize the array of pointers to pointers and then initialize each 1d array in a loop. Example below using new:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    int row = 3, col =3;
    array = (int**) new int* [row];
    for (int i = 0; i < row; i++) array[i] = new int[col];
    for (int i = 0; i < row; i++)

UNIX/Linux operating systems have the ability to limit the amount of various system resources available to a user process. These limitations include how many files a process can have open, how large of a file the user can create, and how much memory can be used by the different components of the process such as the stack, data and text segments.

To unlimit the max number of opened files, use sudo nano /etc/security/limits.conf to edit /etc/security/limits.conf and add something like this below.

*                soft    nofile           512000
*                hard    nofile          1024000

The soft is for enforcing the soft limits and the hard is for enforcing hard limits. For this both number type is unsigned integer.

Firstly we installed opencv by compiling it form its source and libraries installed in /usr/local/lib. We could show the files in this directory by la /usr/local/lib | grep libopencv then it shows:

libopencv_calib3d.so
libopencv_calib3d.so.4.1
libopencv_calib3d.so.4.1.2
libopencv_core.so
libopencv_core.so.4.1
libopencv_core.so.4.1.2
libopencv_dnn.so
libopencv_dnn.so.4.1

Usually we got a system based proxy but it not works in command line tools like the terminal. We could easily add such proxy by replacing the proxy information below and run them in terminal.

export http_proxy=protocol://username:password@proxyhost:port/
export ftp_proxy=protocol://username:password@proxyhost:port/
export telnet_proxy=protocol://username:password@proxyhost:port/

The protocol should be http, https or socks5 depends on what type of proxy you are using. Further more, we could add this to ~/.*shrc to initialize proxy when terminal start by sudo nano ~/.*shrc.

Let apt work with socks5 proxy, add -o Acquire::http::proxy="protocolh://proxyhost:proxyport/" as arguments, for example:

As the death toll from the Wuhan coronavirus still risen, I felt anxious and helpless through everyone here were talking and laughing on New Year's Eve. Not sure what should I do and I just wrote this python3 program to make people aware of the importance of wearing respirator masks when defeating the virus.

In this program, we use CascadeClassifier to add respirators masks to the recognized faces in the capture. Before everything start, we have to import the necessary packages:

import argparse
import cv2

We use argparse to construct the argument parse for more flexible usage. The respirator image cloud be found on eBay, Google... and transparent background required as .png format. The haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml could be found at OpenCV official git repository https://github.com/opencv/opencv/tree/master/data/haarcascade.
