This caused some troubles for me, so I am sharing it -- to save someone else's precious time. Of course, solving problems is always rewarding in experience :) Scenario I want to write a JavaScript module, which would be using Ace Editor. I decide to do it using TDD, together with

Nice quote by Henry Ford about how people see innovations: If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses. So don't listen to what words are being used, but try to understand what need hides behind them.

Recently I had to create a list of things one should know to better understand authors who are using LaTeX to write their article. Yes, LaTeX is not just commands, it is a fully functional programming environment so it has to be treated as such. These are some of the

This simple Python program example produces nice human readable word differences splitting at whitespaces, be it space, tab, or newline: from diff_match_patch import diff_match_patch dmp = diff_match_patch() c1 = 'some long\nfile with newlines' c2 = 'some long\nfiles\twith no newlines' tmp = dmp.diff_linesToChars(c2,

I am going to regret this, but I signed up for two additional classes by (ex) Stanford Professor Sebastian Thrun: CS 373: PROGRAMMING A ROBOTIC CAR CS 101: BUILDING A SEARCH ENGINE They both can be found at http://www.udacity.com. Watch Sebastian's talk about AI class, Udacity and

After finishing AI and ML classes, it's time to look ahead and sign up for the new ones. The whole list of free lectures by professors of Stanford/Berkely/University of Michigan can be found in http://www.class-central.com. I decided to sign up for 5 of them: Software

If you simply write: <xsl:value-of select="//some-element"/> you get just a string of it's internal text elements, no node names. It's naked. If you write: <xsl:copy-of select="//some-element"/> You get just the copy of everything. You can convert an element

I tried to be an active mathematical problems' solver at Project Euler. I used Python for that, in order to kill two birds with one stone: solve math, learn programming language. Of course, enthusiasm dried out and I have been with score like this for quite a while:

My hosting service provider Interneto vizija (who also owns serveriai.lt and dedikuoti.lt) just recently enabled me to directly edit DNS records of my domain seimys.com. It was a trial and error at first, but finally all is set up. The goal was to set up one of

Today I signed up for free online lectures in Stanford University: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence - http://www.ai-class.com/ Machine Learning - http://ml-class.org/ I will definitely try to finish these, but it will be tough: you have to do homework and exams (it takes like 10 hours

DMP is a library written in multiple languages and is used to compare two texts: Diff Match and Patch project homepage. Download this freely available and fast Python code, copy it inside the directory of your script. Now you can generate diff and output it to HTML by writing simple

I received an interesting comment from Marius: Well, so far it looks like there is less and less "morality" and more and more "logico". So far it is clear, that Logicomorality (LM) is interested only in collecting facts and comparing objects and actions only according to

Although my article about Logicomorality is quite old, some of you still find it interesting. I really liked thoughtful comments made by "a friend", so I will continue my discussion. This morality could be applied not only to humans, but also animals, machines and whatever comes in mind,

I was really flattered to get some feedback on my last text about morality from Mindaugas G. His arguments were indeed insightful, so I decided to discuss them here to clarify some of the issues concerning logicomorality. First of all the main sentence which attracted his attention was "If

The world we live in is filled with plenty of ideologies about moral principles - what is good and what is considered to be bad. The purpose of this text is an attempt to describe morality without the interference of any ideology. I am not sure if that is possible,

Mindaugas braught this topic to light and described this one new field of Science - Philosophy of Mind. This field is a sort of combination of philosophy and neurobiology. I do not want to convince you of anything, I just wanted to talk about the first ideas that came to

Some of you, who are against any type of faith try to argue about the impact of religion. I think, that to say, that "religion is nothing and it has no effect on human being and society" is the same as to say "the light bulb doesn't

This topic always sparks a lot of discussions. It is one question that is really important to both - religious or scientific. We can reformulate it as follows: how much is personality of a human inborn and how much is accumulated through life? What can be inborn and what cannot?

Today I had some discussions about miracles and how "real" they are. The standard scheme for a miracle is this: "The observers (scientists/doctors/people/etc.) said that it was impossible, but after some time and efforts (that could be prayer, church, using herbs, etc.) observers (same

This blog is by no means a page to supply knowledge on specific field. In the future, you might find here topics ranging from The Bible to Quantum Mechanics. Of course, these are my first intentions, but as life goes on people tend to get deeper in one or another
