Image Processing
We are working on computer vision and image processing using OpenCV for object detection,tracking and Trajectory Prediction.The main aim is to predict the trajectory of Shuttle Cock by tracking the initial path using Different Image Processing Techniques.In order to improve the FPS we are using Hardware Accelerated Approach. OpenCL and CUDA are being used. IDE used is Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012.
Arduino Programming
Navigation of the robots is done using Arduino Microcontrollers . All the programming of it is done using Arduino IDE. Various Machine Learning and Control Algorithms are being used for navigation of the Robot.PS2 controller is also Interfaced with Arduino for Manually Controlling The Bots.
ATMega Programming
This year we are Interfacing Sensors with ATMega 16 because of higher Efficiency,Clock Speed and Flexibility. All the programming on ATMega is done using ATMel Studio 6.0. ATMega programming is based on C Language. For making the Programming Easy we have built a library using which one can upload a code in ATMega using Syntax and functions of Arduino Programming Interface. We are also working on a communication Protocol using which all the Input and Output tasks will be performed by Arduino/ATMel while the processing will be done by Raspberry PI.

Problem Solving
Getting Blocked
Goodness, there have been many times that I have been blocked on a piece of code. Generally I try to stay calm and go through the problem step-by-step and try to work out the control flow of the program, and console.log
everything I can along the way (I think this is the most popular method of debugging for Javascript developers). Here are three general things that seem to block me on a regular basis:
- 1. Management of state (in JS apps Redux can handle this quite nicely).
- 2. Understanding exactly how a library/framework functions.
- 3. Building something that is cross-browser and easy to deploy.
Management of state proved to be an issue in the racecar app I made this week. I thought state would be simple since it was such a small program, but it was tricky to handle different states in conjunction with messages from the server (a socket.io server) in such a way that the app worked with many different "paths" (for example the user exiting a game then challenging another player). This is related to the second point, in that I initially had issues understanding exactly how to use socket.io and wasn't aware of the best way to use the API. I still certainly don't claim expertise with socket.io, but it got easier as I kept researching and googling better ways to do things.
By far the most frustrating and time-consuming problem with the racecar app was not knowing to call document.removeEventListener
after the game had finished. It meant the React UI component I was rendering for the game didn't unmount from the DOM properly, and caused annoying state issues. In hindsight, I think I could attach the event listener to the component rather than the global document, but my current implementation is working fine. It's funny how small oversights like these can often consume disproportionate amounts of time while coding.
I haven't found cross browser issues to be too bad, but they can be a bit of a pain. My first implementation of the racecar app checked the "code" property of a "keydown" event, which apparently doesn't exist in Safari and IE. So I did some googling and discovered that a better way to get the letter of the key pressed (in all browsers) is to use String.fromCharCode
.
Deployment for the racecar app was (thankfully) very easy with Heroku. Since it was a simple standalone node.js app, I just followed the (good) documentation on Heroku's website for Node and my app can be deployed with git push heroku master
. However with databases and other dependencies, I've found that deployment can sometimes be a headache.
Some JS Array Methods
Array methods can remove verbose for loops and make your code more expressive.
.map()
is one of the most useful. Basically what it does is call a function on each element in an array, and return a new array with each element adjusted by the function. It doesn't mutate the existing array. So for example, if you had a function "dyeRed(carpet)" and you had an array with a bunch of blue carpets, you could run blueCarpets.map(dyeRed);
and you will receive an array of red carpets (however, the blueCarpets array will be the same).
.filter()
also applies a function to each element in an array, but will return the element if the function gives a "true" and will remove the element if the function gives a "false". Again, it doesn't mutate the existing array. So say you have an array of people and you had a function "isGeek(person)", you could run people.filter(isGeek);
and you'd get the geeks returned back to you, but your original "people" array would look the same.
.reduce()
is a bit more complicated. It still applies a function to every array element, but the function's first argument will be the "previous" value of the value accumulated so far, and the second argument will be the current element. As well as taking in this function, it takes in an optional starting value. Then it will go through each of the elements, successively applying the function, and return a single value (again without modifying the array). The most simple example of how it works is with an "add(a, b)" function that adds two numbers.
Calling [1, 2, 3].reduce(add, 10);
will successively add each value of the array to the starting value of 10. So you'll get 10 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 16. The function doesn't have to add, it could do any operation successively on each element of the array. A more abstract example: say you have an array of colours, and a function "mixColour(a, b)". Calling colours.reduce(mixColour);
would give you a successive mix of all the colours. So you'd probably get brown, or maybe white if it was light (I'm not really a colour expert).


Kartarpur Corridor: PM Imran waives off two requirements for Sikh pilgrims
by News DeskAhead of Kartarpur Corridor’s inauguration, Prime Minister Imran Khan waived off two requirements for the Sikh pilgrims traveling to Paksitan on the occasion of Baba Guru Nanak’s 550th birth anniversary.
In a tweet, the premier said members of the Sikh community coming to Kartapur from India will not need a passport. “They will be able to travel with a valid identity card.”
The pilgrims will no longer have to register 10 days in advance, he said. PM Imran also waived off fee on the day of inauguration and the birth anniversary on November 12.
The Kartarpur Corridor will be inaugurated by the premier on November 9 – three days before the 550th birth anniversary festivities. Thousands of Sikh pilgrims are traveling to Nankana Sahib to celebrate the 550th birth anniversary of their religious founder.
The agreement to open the corridor was signed between Islamabad and New Delhi in October. The Kartarpur Corridor will allow Sikh pilgirms to visit Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib – one of Sikhism’s holiest pilgrimage sites in Narowal district of Punjab – without a visa.
The corridor – about six kilometres long – connects Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur, the last resting place of Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev Ji, with Dera Baba Nanak Sahib, another Sikh holy site in the Indian state of Punjab.
The agreement between Pakistan and India is being seen as rare cooperation between the two bitter neighbours after a military confrontation in February that saw Indian warplanes violating Pakistan’s airspace and dropping bombs and Pakistan downing two Indian jets following retaliatory air strikes inside Indian Occupied Kashmir.


Infinite Interests, Finite Time Tweet
Two years ago, at a social mixer at a summer school in Princeton, I got one of most powerful advice I’ve ever heard. It was at a place a couple of blocks from Einstein’s house so that must have had an extra effect. I was bundled together with fellow asians when Peter Elmer, came over to just chat. At some point we were talking about career paths, what’s hot and what’s not. In the end, he said these trends are all going to pass so the most important thing to do is follow what you are truly interested in. It sounds like a typical, simplistic advice but if you come to think about it, following your curiosity makes all the difference in the world.
I am kind of lucky that what I consider interesting right now could lead to a lucrative career in data science in big tech companies. I just need to do a few more projects using industry-standard tools and put them on GitHub. Plus prepare for technical interviews. Still takes a bunch of work but it’s not super impossible. I think I’m leaning towards the “industry” path. But I always have this lingering question in my head, am I doing something important? Am I doing something of value to other people? Unfortunately, right now, my answer is almost always no. Will I be able to eventually do important things? I hope so.
I am currently working on a particle physics project that looks for strange and very small deviations from the “Standard Model” of Particle Physics. It’s something like, looking for a soccer ball weirdly deviating from the path predicted by Newton’s laws. There must be some small “correction” to the model that needs to be understood. It’s not “useful” knowledge per se but I just need to remind myself of the slogan “The usefuleness of useless knowledge”. Probably some kind of false equivalence but Einstein’s General Relativity was once deemed useless for a while but it’s now an extremely important thing for GPS navigation!
I wish I am directly working on understanding diseases or illnesses, e.g. genetic, autoimmune diseases that are complex and are probably not traceable to a single gene. I wish that like a few of my friends that I was actively involved in lobbying for climate change policies or researching about carbon sequestration. I wish I could build C02/methane-sucking machines. I don’t know yet how I could penetrate the latter industry with my skillset but I am eager to find out. And then there’s my interest in understanding how deep-seated beliefs can be changed and how tipping points are reached. I told my adviser about this last year. He even told me that this work is probably one of the more important research questions that people should ask. I think particles are easier to understand than humans though!
I had also planned to do a few small projects on the side since 2016. I told myself I’d build an e-bike, a small aquaponics system with fishies and vegetables I could harvest, and an arduino/raspberry pi security system. I’ve not done any one of them but I did manage to grow a mealworm colony for my own consumption! Sustainable food production is quite interesting to me. It’s hard to start these projects because you need to spend for them, you need time to learn how to make them, and then you need time and energy to actually make them.
This blog is a project in itself. I got inspired by my friend’s mum, Barbara. She lives in Wisconsin and she does cool projects which she documents. Her blog got me writing again. There are a bunch of hard and social science topics that I’d like to have a working knowledge of. The best way to learn something is to be able to explain it to someone else. Then there’s learning Spanish and French. I’m quite disappointed that I’m still not conversational in another foreign language. I’ve been jumping around languages that they’re getting mixed up.
In principle, I am following my interests but I have too many of them. I do not have infinite time nor infinite energy and intelligence to be able to do do all of them. I can probably only do two research projects at a time. And the time-splitting is even asymmetric because one deserves more concentration than the other. It’s also a bad feeling to start many projects at a time and not take them to the finish line. I found Cal Newport’s closed-loop research system quite helpful.
Dissertation Proposal and my not-to-do list
Last week I presented my work to an external group composed of fellow researchers from Brown U. and Carnegie Mellon University. These were a bunch super smart people that I really looked up to so I was quite delighted when I got some excitement for the project I was working on. These guys are applying a novel analysis technique that my good friend from college proposed. I wanted to use the same technique for my research. Since it is a new idea, good results are not guaranteed. I have my candidacy exam coming up so my adviser told me to be careful. I got slightly sad that I couldn’t work on it right away. I knew I had to produce results within 2-3 weeks and prove that my proposed dissertation topic is feasible.
Now that I know that something exciting is next in line, I’m actually extra motivated to finish this proposal! The methods I’m using now are classical and time-tested methods. Not super fancy but unquestionably reliable. It’s less risky and it allows me to focus on the physics. When I finish, I’d write everything up and defend the proposal in a little over a month.
Just thinking about the finiteness of my resources reminds me that knowing what not to do is as important as knowing what to do. I am interested in a lot of things, exploring new possibilities but at the same time I dislike not being able to “accomplish” things.
In an interview that I really liked, Elon Musk said that humans have a natural tendency for wishful thinking. It’s important to make a rigorous assessment of what work you think is of high value. Value is relative, I believe. When you figure that out you have to work twice as hard as others and be tenacious. I guess that’s why he’s so accomplished and are working on high-impact, interesting projects like electric cars and space exploration! Steve Jobs was quite the same.
For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. – Steve Jobs
I’m a bit chiller and less intense than both Musk and Jobs. Love them or hate them, I like what they said. Taking things to the finish line is an incredible feeling and so is exploring things you’ve never seen before.

Chart Control for .NET Framework enables has the following functionalities
related to interactivity:
Selection uses hit-testing to determine which chart element a user clicks on.For example, if you click on a pie slice, then selection can be used to explode that pie slice or drill down to a more detailed chart. For example, you could click on a column in the column chart on the left to drill down to a pie chart related to that column.
Standard tooltips can be specified using the Tooltip property of various chart elements. Series objects also have a LegendToolTip property, used for their corresponding legend entry tooltips.
Note that special keywords can be used to insert various chart values. For example, "#VALX" is used to display a data point's X value in the tooltip.
For custom drawing of tooltips, use the GetToolTipText event.
Cursors are horizontal and vertical lines that indicate where your click.
Uing zooming, you can zoom in and out of a chart by dragging the cursor on the chart. The part of the axis that is then displayed is referred to as the data view. You can then scroll through the data using the scrollbar.

Pirates kidnap nine crew members from cargo ship off coast of Benin
MV Bonita from Norwegian shipping company
by Mitchell McCluskey and Ralph Ellis, CNN(CNN) - Pirates boarded a shipping vessel and kidnapped nine crew members off the coast of Benin in West Africa early Saturday morning, according to J.J. Ugland, the Norwegian shipping company which owns the vessel.
The ship, named the MV Bonita, was anchored and awaiting berth at the Cotonou port to discharge a shipment of gypsum when the pirates boarded, J.J. Ugland said in a statement Sunday.
The remaining crew members contacted local authorities. The MV Bonita docked at the port later that day.
An emergency response team from J.J. Ugland is working with authorities on the case.
A report released in July from the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), a nonprofit devoted to fighting maritime crime, has called the Gulf of Guinea a "world piracy hotspot," saying that the "seas around West Africa remain the world's most dangerous for piracy."
The report said 73% of all kidnappings at sea and 92% of hostage-takings took place in the Gulf of Guinea -- off the coasts of Nigeria, Guinea, Togo, Benin and Cameroon -- from January to June this year.

The pg_bigm module provides full text search capability in PostgreSQL. This module allows a user to create 2-gram (bigram) index for faster full text search.
The pg_bigm project provides the following one module.
| Module | Description | Source Archive File Name |
|---|---|---|
| pg_bigm | Module that provides full text search capability in PostgreSQL | pg_bigm-x.y-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz |
The x.y and YYYYMMDD parts of the source archive file name are replaced with its release version number and date, respectively. For example, x.y is 1.1 and YYYYMMDD is 20131122 if the file of the version 1.1 was released on November 22, 2013.
The license of pg_bigm is The PostgreSQL License (same as BSD license).
The pg_trgm contrib module which provides full text search capability using 3-gram (trigram) model is included in PostgreSQL. The pg_bigm was developed based on the pg_trgm. They have the following differences:
| Functionalities and Features | pg_trgm | pg_bigm |
|---|---|---|
| Phrase matching method for full text search | 3-gram | 2-gram |
| Available index | GIN and GiST | GIN only |
| Full text search for non-alphabetic language (e.g., Japanese) |
Not supported (*1) | Supported |
| Full text search with 1-2 characters keyword | Slow (*2) | Fast |
| Similarity search | Supported | Supported (version 1.1 or later) |
| Maximum indexed column size | 238,609,291 Bytes (~228MB) | 44,739,241 Bytes (~43MB) |
pg_bigm 1.1 or later can coexist with pg_trgm in the same database, but pg_bigm 1.0 cannot.
pg_bigm has been built and tested on the following platforms:
| Category | Module Name |
|---|---|
| OS | Linux, Mac OS X |
| DBMS | PostgreSQL 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 |
pg_bigm requires PostgreSQL 9.1 or later.
From the official site of PostgreSQL download the source archive file "postgresql-X.Y.Z.tar.gz (please replace X.Y.Z with actual version number)" of PostgreSQL, and then build and install it.
$ tar zxf postgresql-X.Y.Z.tar.gz $ cd postgresql-X.Y.Z $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/pgsql-X.Y.Z $ make $ su # make install # exit
If PostgreSQL is installed from RPM, the postgresql-devel package must be installed to build pg_bigm.
Download the source archive file of pg_bigm from here, and then build and install it.
$ tar zxf pg_bigm-x.y-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz $ cd pg_bigm-x.y-YYYYMMDD $ make USE_PGXS=1 PG_CONFIG=/opt/pgsql-X.Y.Z/bin/pg_config $ su # make USE_PGXS=1 PG_CONFIG=/opt/pgsql-X.Y.Z/bin/pg_config install # exit
Create the database cluster, modify postgresql.conf, start PostgreSQL server and then load pg_bigm into the database.
$ initdb -D $PGDATA --locale=C --encoding=UTF8 $ vi $PGDATA/postgresql.conf shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_bigm' custom_variable_classes = 'pg_bigm' $ pg_ctl -D $PGDATA start $ psql -d <database name> =# CREATE EXTENSION pg_bigm; =# \dx pg_bigm List of installed extensions Name | Version | Schema | Description ---------+---------+--------+--------------------------------------- pg_bigm | 1.1 | public | text index searching based on bigrams (1 row)
Unload pg_bigm from the database and then uninstall it.
$ psql -d <database name> =# DROP EXTENSION pg_bigm CASCADE; =# \q $ pg_ctl -D $PGDATA stop $ su # cd <pg_bigm source directory> # make USE_PGXS=1 PG_CONFIG=/opt/pgsql-X.Y.Z/bin/pg_config uninstall # exit
Delete the following pg_bigm related settings from postgresql.conf.
You can create an index for full text search by using GIN index.
The following example creates the table pg_tools which stores the name and description of PostgreSQL related tool, inserts four records into the table, and then creates the full text search index on the description column.
=# CREATE TABLE pg_tools (tool text, description text); =# INSERT INTO pg_tools VALUES ('pg_hint_plan', 'Tool that allows a user to specify an optimizer HINT to PostgreSQL'); =# INSERT INTO pg_tools VALUES ('pg_dbms_stats', 'Tool that allows a user to stabilize planner statistics in PostgreSQL'); =# INSERT INTO pg_tools VALUES ('pg_bigm', 'Tool that provides 2-gram full text search capability in PostgreSQL'); =# INSERT INTO pg_tools VALUES ('pg_trgm', 'Tool that provides 3-gram full text search capability in PostgreSQL'); =# CREATE INDEX pg_tools_idx ON pg_tools USING gin (description gin_bigm_ops);
You can also create multicolumn pg_bigm index and specify GIN related parameters then, as follows.
=# CREATE INDEX pg_tools_multi_idx ON pg_tools USING gin (tool gin_bigm_ops, description gin_bigm_ops) WITH (FASTUPDATE = off);
You can execute full text search by using LIKE pattern matching.
=# SELECT * FROM pg_tools WHERE description LIKE '%search%'; tool | description ---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------- pg_bigm | Tool that provides 2-gram full text search capability in PostgreSQL pg_trgm | Tool that provides 3-gram full text search capability in PostgreSQL (2 rows)
You can execute similarity search by using =% operator.
The following query returns all values in the tool column that are sufficiently similar to the word 'bigm'. This similarity search is basically fast because it can use the full text search index. It measures whether two strings are sufficiently similar to by seeing whether their similarity is higher than or equal to the value of pg_bigm.similarity_limit. This means, in this query, that the values whose similarity with the word 'bigm' is higher than or equal to 0.2 are only 'pg_bigm' and 'pg_trgm' in the tool column.
=# SET pg_bigm.similarity_limit TO 0.2; =# SELECT tool FROM pg_tools WHERE tool =% 'bigm'; tool --------- pg_bigm pg_trgm (2 rows)
Please see bigm_similarity function for details of how to calculate the similarity.
likequery is a function that converts the search keyword (argument #1) into the pattern string that LIKE operator can handle properly.
If the argument #1 is NULL, the return value is also NULL.
This function does the conversion as follows:
In pg_bigm, full text search is performed by using LIKE pattern matching. Therefore, the search keyword needs to be converted into the pattern string that LIKE operator can handle properly. Usually a client application should be responsible for this conversion. But, you can save the effort of implementing such a conversion logic in the application by using likequery function.
=# SELECT likequery('pg_bigm has improved the full text search performance by 200%'); likequery ------------------------------------------------------------------- %pg\_bigm has improved the full text search performance by 200\%% (1 row)
Using likequery, you can rewrite the full text search query which was used in the example in "Execute full text search" into:
=# SELECT * FROM pg_tools WHERE description LIKE likequery('search'); tool | description ---------+--------------------------------------------------------------------- pg_bigm | Tool that provides 2-gram full text search capability in PostgreSQL pg_trgm | Tool that provides 3-gram full text search capability in PostgreSQL (2 rows)
show_bigm returns an array of all the 2-grams in the given string (argument #1).
A 2-gram that show_bigm returns is a group of two consecutive characters taken from a string that blank character has been appended into the beginning and the end. For example, the 2-grams of the string "ABC" are "(blank)A" "AB" "BC" "C(blank)".
=# SELECT show_bigm('full text search'); show_bigm ------------------------------------------------------------------ {" f"," s"," t",ar,ch,ea,ex,fu,"h ","l ",ll,rc,se,"t ",te,ul,xt} (1 row)
bigm_similarity returns a number that indicates how similar the two strings (argument #1 and #2) are.
This function measures the similarity of two strings by counting the number of 2-grams they share. The range of the similarity is zero (indicating that the two strings are completely dissimilar) to one (indicating that the two strings are identical).
=# SELECT bigm_similarity('full text search', 'text similarity search'); bigm_similarity ----------------- 0.571429 (1 row)
Note that each argument is considered to have one space prefixed and suffixed when determining the set of 2-grams contained in the string for calculation of similarity. For example, though the string "ABC" contains the string "B", their similarity is 0 because there are no 2-grams they share as follows. On the other hand, the string "ABC" and "A" share one 2-gram "(blank)A" as follows, so their similarity is higher than 0. This is basically the same behavior as pg_trgm's similarity function.
=# SELECT bigm_similarity('ABC', 'A'); bigm_similarity ----------------- 0.25 (1 row) =# SELECT bigm_similarity('ABC', 'B'); bigm_similarity ----------------- 0 (1 row)
Note that bigm_similarity is NOT case-sensitive, but pg_trgm's similarity function is case-sensitive. For example, the similarity of the strings "ABC" and "abc" is 1 in pg_trgm's similarity function but 0 in bigm_similarity.
=# SELECT similarity('ABC', 'abc'); similarity ------------ 1 (1 row) =# SELECT bigm_similarity('ABC', 'abc'); bigm_similarity ----------------- 0 (1 row)
pg_gin_pending_stats is a function that returns the number of pages and tuples in the pending list of GIN index.
Note that the return value #1 and #2 are 0 if the argument #1 is the GIN index built with FASTUPDATE option disabled because it doesn't have a pending list. Please see GIN Fast Update Technique for details of the pending list and FASTUPDATE option.
=# SELECT * FROM pg_gin_pending_stats('pg_tools_idx'); pages | tuples -------+-------- 1 | 4 (1 row)
pg_bigm.last_update is a parameter that reports the last updated date of the pg_bigm module. This parameter is read-only. You cannot change the value of this parameter at all.
=# SHOW pg_bigm.last_update; pg_bigm.last_update --------------------- 2013.11.22 (1 row)
pg_bigm.enable_recheck is a parameter that specifies whether to perform Recheck which is an internal process of full text search. The default value is on, i.e., Recheck is performed. Not only superuser but also any user can change this parameter value in postgresql.conf or by using SET command. This parameter must be enabled if you want to obtain the correct search result.
PostgreSQL and pg_bigm internally perform the following processes to get the search results:
The latter process is called Recheck. The result candidates retrieved from full text search index may contain wrong results. Recheck process gets rid of such wrong results.
For example, imagine the case where two character strings "He is awaiting trial" and "It was a trivial mistake" are stored in a table. The correct search result with the keyword "trial" is "He is awaiting trial". However, "It was a trivial mistake" is also retrieved as the result candidate from the full text search index because it contains all the 2-grams ("al", "ia", "ri", "tr") of the search keyword "trial". Recheck process tests whether each candidate contains the search keyword itself, and then chooses only the correct results.
How Recheck narrows down the search result can be observed in the result of EXPLAIN ANALYZE.
=# CREATE TABLE tbl (doc text); =# INSERT INTO tbl VALUES('He is awaiting trial'); =# INSERT INTO tbl VALUES('It was a trivial mistake'); =# CREATE INDEX tbl_idx ON tbl USING gin (doc gin_bigm_ops); =# SET enable_seqscan TO off; =# EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE doc LIKE likequery('trial'); QUERY PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitmap Heap Scan on tbl (cost=12.00..16.01 rows=1 width=32) (actual time=0.041..0.044 rows=1 loops=1) Recheck Cond: (doc ~~ '%trial%'::text) Rows Removed by Index Recheck: 1 -> Bitmap Index Scan on tbl_idx (cost=0.00..12.00 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=0.028..0.028 rows=2 loops=1) Index Cond: (doc ~~ '%trial%'::text) Total runtime: 0.113 ms (6 rows)
In this example, you can see that Bitmap Index Scan retrieved two rows from the full text search index but Bitmap Heap Scan returned only one row after Recheck process.
It is possible to skip Recheck process and get the result candidates retrieved from the full text search index as the final results, by disabling this parameter. In the following example, wrong result "It was a trivial mistake" is also returned because the parameter is disabled.
=# SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE doc LIKE likequery('trial'); doc ---------------------- He is awaiting trial (1 row) =# SET pg_bigm.enable_recheck = off; =# SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE doc LIKE likequery('trial'); doc -------------------------- He is awaiting trial It was a trivial mistake (2 rows)
This parameter must be enabled if you want to obtain the correct search result. On the other hand, you may need to set it to off, for example, for evaluation of Recheck performance overhead or debugging, etc.
pg_bigm.gin_key_limit is a parameter that specifies the maximum number of 2-grams of the search keyword to be used for full text search. If it's set to zero (default), all the 2-grams of the search keyword are used for full text search. Not only superuser but also any user can change this parameter value in postgresql.conf or by using SET command.
PostgreSQL and pg_bigm basically use all the 2-grams of search keyword to scan GIN index. However, in current implementation of GIN index, the more 2-grams are used, the more performance overhead of GIN index scan is increased. In the system that large search keyword is often used, full text search is likely to be slow. This performance issue can be solved by using this parameter and limiting the maximum number of 2-grams to be used.
On the other hand, the less 2-grams are used, the more wrong results are included in the result candidates retrieved from full text search index. Please note that this can increase the workload of Recheck and decrease the performance.
pg_bigm.similarity_limit is a parameter that specifies the threshold used by the similarity search. The similarity search returns all the rows whose similarity with the search keyword is higher than or equal to this threshold. Value must be between 0 and 1 (default is 0.3). Not only superuser but also any user can change this parameter value in postgresql.conf or by using SET command.
The size of the column indexed by bigm GIN index cannot exceed 44,739,241 Bytes (~43MB). Any attempt to enter larger values will result in an error.
=# CREATE TABLE t1 (description text); =# CREATE INDEX t1_idx ON t1 USING gin (description gin_bigm_ops); =# INSERT INTO t1 SELECT repeat('A', 44739242); ERROR: invalid memory alloc request size<PHONE_NUMBER>
pg_trgm also has this limitation. However, the maximum size in the case of trgm indexed column is 238,609,291 Bytes (~228MB).

This demo is not a real video-streaming service but it does demonstrate several aspects of IRMA. When you become IRMATube “member” you receive a membership card in your IRMA app. Subsequently, you can use the data on this card to watch (trailers of) movies on the IRMATube main page.
In particular, the IRMATube demo illustrates the following.
Upon becoming member of IRMATube you receive two pieces of data in your card: one which simply proves that you are a member, and one which contains a personal membership number. When you wish to watch a movie, only your membership is requested, not the membership number that identifies you: you only prove that you are a member, not who you are.
In a more elaborate and realistic scenario you may want to reveal your membership number too in case you want a movie to be added to your personal profile (built-up by the video service). That is not included in the current version of the IRMATube demo.
Some of the movies on IRMATube have an age limit. When you wish to watch those movies, you have to reveal not only your IRMATube membership, but also your age limit data. (Cards for such data can be obtained from the municipality or from the bank.)

Mountain snow, wet Las Vegas Valley forecast for Thanksgiving week
by Marvin ClemonsWet in the valley, white in the mountains with windy conditions and cold temperatures for everyone sums up the Thanksgiving week weather forecast for the Las Vegas region.
A winter storm advisory is in place for the Spring Mountains and Sheep Range from 4 a.m. Wednesday through 4 a.m. Saturday with 8 to 24 inches of snow possible above 4,000 feet. The higher the elevation, the more snow likely, said meteorologist Jen Varian with the National Weather Service.
Winds may gust to 40 mph.
While the forecast calls for a chance of snow in Las Vegas this week, Varian doesn’t think that is likely.
“Rain is much more likely,” she said.
Monday will see sunny skies in the valley with a high near 64. Light and variable winds early will become northwest at 11 to 16 mph with gusts as high as 24 mph.
Monday night will be clear with a low around 38 and northwest winds at 14 to 18 mph, with gusts up to 28 mph.
Tuesday will remain sunny with a high near 52. Winds will be northerly 5 to 10 mph.
The chance of rain or snow increases to 60% Wednesday through Thursday. Highs will be in the low 50s.
A chance of snow enters the Las Vegas forecast after 5 a.m. Wednesday, but the odds are at 30% with little or no snow accumulation.
The Thanksgiving Day forecast calls for a chance of rain, mostly cloudy and a high near 52.
The storm could have major impacts on Thanksgiving travel in Lincoln County and the Spring Mountains. The weather service advises considering alternate routes or adjusting your planned travel time.


I'm an european graphics programmer working in Japan and doing alchemistic experiments on code in my free time.
This blog is the fruit of one of these experiments.


What is Algorithm?
Algorithm is a step by step procedure, which defines a set of instructions to be executed in certain order to get the desired output.
Why we need to do algorithm analysis?
A problem can be solved in more than one ways. So, many solution algorithms can be derived for a given problem. We analyze available algorithms to find and implement the best suitable algorithm.
What are the criteria of algorithm analysis?
An algorithm are generally analyzed on two factors − time and space. That is, how much execution time and how much extra space required by the algorithm.

The Walking Dead is an episodic interactive drama graphic adventure survival horror video game developed
and published by Telltale Games. Based on The Walking Dead comic book series, the game consists of five episodes,
released between April and November 2012. It is available for Android, iOS, Kindle Fire HDX, Microsoft Windows,
Mac OS X, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game is the first of The
Walking Dead video game series published by Telltale.
The game takes place in the same fictional world as the comic, with events occurring shortly after the onset
of the zombie apocalypse in Georgia. However, most of the characters are original to the game, which centers
on university professor and convicted criminal Lee Everett, who helps to rescue and subsequently care for
a young girl named Clementine. Kirkman provided oversight for the game's story to ensure it corresponded
to the tone of the comic, but allowed Telltale to handle the bulk of the developmental work and story specifics.
Some characters from the original comic book series also make in-game appearances.
Unlike many graphic adventure games, The Walking Dead does not emphasize puzzle solving, but instead focuses
on story and character development. The story is affected by both the dialogue choices of the player and
their actions during quick time events, which can often lead to, for example, certain characters being killed,
or an adverse change in the disposition of a certain character or characters towards Lee. The choices made
by the player carry over from episode to episode. Choices were tracked by Telltale, and used to influence
their writing in later episodes.
The Walking Dead has been critically acclaimed, with reviewers praising the harsh emotional tone of the story
and the empathetic connection established between Lee and Clementine. It won year-end accolades, including
Game of the Year awards from several gaming publications. More than one million unique players have purchased
at least one episode from the series, with over 8.5 million individual units sold by the end of 2012, and
its success has been seen as constituting a revitalization of the weakened adventure game genre. In July
2013, Telltale released an additional downloadable episode, 400 Days, to extend the first season and bridge
the gap towards the second season. The third season premiered on December 20, 2016. The fourth and final
season is set to be released in 2018.

Recipe 4.18. Collecting a Bunch of Named ItemsCredit: Alex Martelli, Doug Hudgeon ProblemYou want to collect a bunch of items together, naming each item of the bunch, and you find dictionary syntax a bit heavyweight for the purpose. SolutionAny normal class instance inherently wraps a dictionary, which it uses to hold its state. We can easily take advantage of this handily wrapped dictionary by coding a nearly empty class: class Bunch(object): def _ _init_ _(self, **kwds): self._ _dict_ _.update(kwds) Now, to group a few variables, create a Bunch instance: point = Bunch(datum=y, squared=y*y, coord=x) You can now access and rebind the named attributes just created, add others, remove some, and so on. For example: if point.squared > threshold: point.isok = True DiscussionWe often just want to collect a bunch of stuff together, naming each item of the bunch. A dictionary is OK for this purpose, but a small do-nothing class is even handier and prettier to use. It takes minimal effort to build a little class, as in this recipe, to provide elegant attribute-access syntax. While a dictionary is fine for collecting a few items in which each item has a name (the item's key in the dictionary can be thought of as the item's name, in this context), it's not the best solution when all names are identifiers, to be used just like variables. In class Bunch's _ _init_ _ method, we accept arbitrary named arguments with the **kwds syntax, and we use the kwds dictionary to update the initially empty instance dictionary, so that each named argument gets turned into an attribute of the instance. Compared to attribute-access syntax, dictionary-indexing syntax is not quite as terse and readable. For example, if point was a dictionary, the little snippet at the end of the "Solution" would have to be coded like: if point['squared'] > threshold: point['isok'] = True An alternative implementation that's just as attractive as the one used in this recipe is: class EvenSimplerBunch(object): def _ _init_ _(self, **kwds): self._ _dict_ _ = kwds Rebinding an instance's dictionary may feel risqué, but it's not actually any pushier than calling that dictionary's update method. So you might prefer the marginal speed advantage of this alternative implementation of Bunch. Unfortunately, I cannot find anywhere in Python's documentation an assurance that usage like: d = {'foo': 'bar'} x = EvenSimplerBunch(**d) will forever keep making x._ _dict_ _ an independent copy of d rather than just sharing a reference. It does currently, and in every version, but unless it's a documented semantic constraint, we cannot be entirely sure that it will keep working forever. So, if you do choose the implementation in EvenSimplerBunch, you might choose to assign a copy (dict(kwds) or kwds.copy( )) rather than kwds itself. And, if you do, then the marginal speed advantage disappears. All in all, the Bunch presented in this recipe's Solution is probably preferable. A further tempting but not fully sound alternative is to have the Bunch class inherit from dict, and set attribute access special methods equal to the item access special methods, as follows: class DictBunch(dict): _ _getattr_ _ = dict._ _getitem_ _ _ _setattr_ _ = dict._ _setitem_ _ _ _delattr_ _ = dict._ _delitem_ _ One problem with this approach is that, with this definition, an instance x of DictBunch has many attributes it doesn't really have, because it inherits all the attributes (methods, actually, but there's no significant difference in this context) of dict. So, you can't meaningfully check hasattr(x, someattr), as you could with the classes Bunch and EvenSimplerBunch previously shown, unless you can somehow rule out the value of someattr being any of several common words such as 'keys', 'pop', and 'get'. Python's distinction between attributes and items is really a wellspring of clarity and simplicity. Unfortunately, many newcomers to Python wrongly believe that it would be better to confuse items with attributes, generally because of previous experience with JavaScript and other such languages, in which attributes and items are regularly confused. But educating newcomers is a much better idea than promoting item/attribute confusion.

THE EVENING STAR A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1996 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 4.0 Alternative Scale: ** out of ****
United States, 1996 U.S. Release Date: 12/25/96 (wide) Running Length: 2:08 MPAA Classification: PG-13 (Sexual situations, profanity) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Shirley MacLaine, Bill Paxton, Juliette Lewis, Miranda Richardson, Ben Johnson, Scott Wolf, George Newbern, Marion Ross, MacKenzie Astin, Donald Moffat, China Kantner, Jack Nicholson Director: Robert Harling Producers: David Kirkpatrick, Polly Platt, and Keith Samples Screenplay: Robert Harling based on the novel by Larry McMurtry Cinematography: Don Burgess Music: William Ross U.S. Distributor: Paramount Pictures
Big-time Christmas Day releases have a history of disappointing (remember THE GODFATHER PART III?), so it comes as no surprise that THE EVENING STAR, the follow-up to James L. Brooks' phenomenally-successful, Oscar winning, 1983 feature, TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, is a bust. Essentially, this is a big-screen soap opera that tries too hard, too often, and too ineffectually to open the tear ducts.
To start with, let me freely admit that I'm not a great fan of TERMS OF ENDEARMENT. It's a little too manipulative for my taste, and even the flood of strong performances can't completely redeem the pedestrian story. In many ways, THE EVENING STAR is cut from the same cloth, but there's one important difference: the skill evident in crafting the first film is entirely absent here. This time around, the performances are workmanlike, the screenplay (by STEEL MAGNOLIAS' screenwriter, Robert Harling, and based on the Larry McMurtry novel) is lifeless, and the direction (also by Harling, in his feature debut in this capacity) is confused.
A lot of leftovers are served around the holidays, and THE EVENING STAR has its share. Shirley MacLaine, looking suitably aged, is back as Aurora Greenway, as is Jack Nicholson as astronaut Garrett Breedlove in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo. A number of other characters have the same names, but different faces. The three Horton children -- Melanie (Juliette Lewis), Tommy (George Newbern), and Teddy (MacKenzie Astin) -- have grown up, so it's natural that the actors have changed. Patsy and Rosie, on the other hand, were adults in 1983, so it's a little harder to explain why Miranda Richardson and Marion Ross have replaced Lisa Hart Carroll and Betty King. (I'd like to think that the original actors had the good sense not to do the sequel; in reality, however, they probably weren't offered the parts.)
Unfortunately, returning characters aren't the only familiar aspect of THE EVENING STAR, because huge chunks of the storyline have been recycled from TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, right down to the central family struggle. In the original, the love/hate relationship was between Aurora and her daughter, Emma (Debra Winger). This time around, the participants are Aurora (once again) and Emma's daughter, Melanie. The only significant difference is that Melanie doesn't have a terminal disease.
The re-tread plot goes something like this: Aurora is involved in an ongoing feud with Melanie, who's in a dead-end relationship with a would-be actor boyfriend (Scott Wolf). Melanie moves out, but, when she discovers that her boyfriend is being unfaithful, she moves back in. Meanwhile, Aurora takes time out on a regular basis to visit Tommy, who's in prison. And she watches with clenched teeth as Melanie pours out her heart to Patsy, rather than to her. When she gets trapped by a bout of depression, Aurora's busybody maid, Rosie, tricks her into seeing a therapist (Bill Paxton) with a mother-fixation. They sleep together, which leads to a series of contrived complications.
The entire film consists of marginally-related and largely- uninvolving episodes strung together. None of these really go anywhere, but we're not supposed to care. The film's producers think it's enough that we're with familiar characters in a familiar setting. However, the men and women populating THE EVENING STAR are caricatures of those in TERMS OF ENDEARMENT. Cheap jokes and mawkish sentimentality abound here, and calling these characters paper-thin is crediting them with too much depth. The tacked-on ending, which takes place some six years after the main story, has only one aim: bring out the Kleenexes and handkerchiefs. It, like the bulk of the movie, doesn't work. In fact, not one of the "emotional" moments in this film provides a satisfactory catharsis.
For the most part, the acting matches the writing. Shirley MacLaine, who won an Oscar as Aurora for TERMS, is almost unwatchable. Miranda Richardson is painfully over-the-top, and Juliette Lewis gives her typical one-note performance. The normally-reliable Bill Paxton looks like he'd rather be chasing tornadoes. By the time Jack Nicholson appears (about one-hundred minutes into the film) to liven up the proceedings, THE EVENING STAR is long past the point of resuscitation.
Because of its poor construction and shockingly dumb script, even those who number themselves among TERMS OF ENDEARMENT's fans are likely to have serious reservations. Anyone who disliked the original, or who is offended by tearjerkers in general, will find this motion picture unbearable.
