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

1. You have Ghostscript installed, right? Otherwise sudo apt-get install ghostscript
2. This is important and installs the headers (iapi.h etc) which are required but don't come with the default Ghostscript package: sudo apt-get install libgs-dev
3. I also needed sudo apt-get install gs-esp
4. For me the pre compiled version of ImageMagick never accepted Ghostscript, so let's remove it: sudo apt-get --purge remove imagemagick
5. Get the source of ImageMagick, untar it, cd ImageMagick-xx
6. ./configure --with-gslib=yes [and what else you need]
7. Confirm in the output near the bottom gslib yes yes and not gslib yes no
8. make
9. make install
10. Run convert -list configure | grep DELEGATES => DELEGATES bzlib djvu freetype gs jpeg jng jp2 lcms png tiff x11 xml zlib

A lot of these are outright stolen from Edward O'Campo-Gooding's list of questions. I really like his list.

I'm having some trouble paring this down to a manageable list of questions -- I realistically want to know all of these things before starting to work at a company, but it's a lot to ask all at once. My current game plan is to pick 6 before an interview and ask those.

I'd love comments and suggestions about any of these.

I've found questions like "do you have smart people? Can I learn a lot at your company?" to be basically totally useless -- everybody will say "yeah, definitely!" and it's hard to learn anything from them. So I'm trying to make all of these questions pretty concrete -- if a team doesn't have an issue tracker, they don't have an issue tracker.

I'm also mostly not asking about principles, but the way things are -- not "do you think code review is important?", but "Does all code get reviewed?".
