Magabiztosság

on August 31st, 2009 by admin

Sose becsüld alá az embereket magabiztosság terén!
Kaliforniában hatalmas erdőtüzek pusztítanak. Egy pár, amely előzetes felszólítást kapott, hogy ideje elmenekülni a házukból mert jön a tűz és nem áll meg; úgy határozott hogy mit nekik egy kis erdőtűz, majd beülnek a ház mögötti pezsgőfürdőbe.
Túlélték… mert a két összeégett ember még idejében el tudott vergődni a tűzoltókhoz, [...]

Pulyka család

on August 31st, 2009 by admin

Délutáni munkám közben elhatároztam hogy járok egyet az épületek körül. Mivel az irodaházunk erdő közepére épült, gyakorta látunk pulykákat legelészni. Mostani sétám során egy pulyka családdal együtt mentem egy darabon, nagyjából azonos sebességgel haladtunk az út két oldalán. Két felnőtt madár, és hat csemete. Figyeltem a viselkedésüket. Egy utat kellett keresztezniük, majd hosszas séta egy [...]

Acadia National Park

on August 30th, 2009 by admin

Nearly a year old photo, that I recently processed and posted on Flickr. While this photo shows the gorgeous seaside, the most memorable moment in Acadia was to observe the sunrise from the top of Cadillac Mountain – this is where the first light of sunrise can be seen from the United States. Dress warm [...]

Bizonytalanság

on August 30th, 2009 by admin

Reggel van. Az utolsó álom éppen véget ért, és agyunk bizonytalanul keresgéli az utat vissza abba az állapotba amit valóságnak nevezünk – talán jobb ha úgy mondom, próbál ráhangolódni arra a frekvenciára ahol a valóságot sugározzák belénk. Még egy tized másodperc és jön az ébredés. Egy kapaszkodó kellene… keresünk egy kérdést ami megkülönbözteti az álom [...]

Surprising element in design

on August 29th, 2009 by admin

Ruby language design is based on the principle of least surprise. Don’t quote Matz on this line, it was not him actually who brought this up. But, true, Ruby is supposed to reduce your frustration while developing.
I was actually surprised yesterday that I encountered a frustrating situation.
Look at the following code:
hn = Hash.new(0)
hn['key'] += 1
puts [...]

Best burgers

on August 27th, 2009 by admin

Yes, I love to eat! God bless America, we have some fantastic burger places. My all time favorite burger restaurant is Red Robin. Order their Banzai burger – or Chicken teriyaki burger, which is the same flavor -, if you are in doubt which one to start with. The only problem here in Massachusetts is [...]

Compiling Ruby with MinGW

on August 26th, 2009 by admin

Initially I used the binary distributions of Ruby. However, when new Ruby patch levels are released, it is not always easy to find the binaries – if you are like me, and prefer to run the latest versions, then you also need to learn to compile Ruby for yourself.
This article will help people who are [...]

Stereo Tool for Winamp

on August 25th, 2009 by admin

While listening to a wide variety of music in your collection, you probably observed that different songs play at different volume, different tonality. Simply, because the songs were recorded, mixed differently, maybe even the music files were encoded differently. Also, when you listen to a radio station, you observe that songs usually play at a [...]

Reaper Audio Production

on August 25th, 2009 by admin

I recently found this excellent DAW software on the web, Reaper Audio Production. At first look this software is amazing and a big challenger to overpriced competitors, like Steinberg Cubase.
Even more impressive is the business strategy of the author, it is absolutely worth quoting him:
No Intrusive Copy Protection

We believe that technological enforcement of copy protection [...]

Random numbers

on August 25th, 2009 by admin

Random numbers are not evenly distributed when the sample size is relatively small.
Let’s take an everyday example – random play mode in Winamp. For this example, imagine that you have 5.000 songs in your music collection.
Generate 5.000 random numbers in a sequence. In other words, listen to 5.000 songs randomly selected from your collection. You [...]
