We all want things to remain same, afraid of change always. set out to
|
||||
live misery so we can be happy together. I wish I could explain
|
||||
everything in my damn head and be out of the heavyness I feel now, but
|
||||
being no natural speaker dont know how to do it without hurting the
|
||||
dear ones whos life path crosses with mine.
|
||||
|
||||
One thing I learned from all this was to hope something that will
|
||||
never happen was always an easy way out of the miseries in this world,
|
||||
cheating is the only way to get out and usually cheating yourself.
|
||||
|
||||
Trying to let it go from my mind, staring at this screen and trying
|
||||
not to express my feelings outside this window, I understand what is
|
||||
mean by transfixing between emotions as someone told me before. I
|
||||
never believed in saving for future but when it comes to taking hard
|
||||
decisions its better to cry now than later because crying later means
|
||||
some other is crying now.

Finally my exams are over and I am set free to do watever I like. Now I can start working on my GSoC. People say work is what defines a person, his contributions, however small, is what makes his life worthy of living. I am looking forward to a joyful vacation doing what I like the most, some serious hacking and doing my part of work. A million thanks to the creators of the Summer of code program, and also to my mentor, Steffan. You guys rock.

Since I got involved with distributed computing for my GSoC some my non technical friends were asking questions about the project, heres an article I suggest you all. I am sure this will solve almost all your questions.

By free I never meant something like a holiday you get in ages which
|
||||
exactly pumps you up. By "free" I meant day you dont have a clue to do
|
||||
anything. You suddenly find yourself nothing interesting to do. Gets you
|
||||
bored to the bones. A couple of people can cheer me up these times but unfortunately none
|
||||
are around.
|
||||
|
||||
I hate it, because it breaks the barriers I've put in mind to the past.
|
||||
On a blink, mind gets filled with everything that has happened in the
|
||||
twenty years thats me, and most of them are not good things.
|
||||
|
||||
Writing never been my favorite, but its the only way left. So I am
|
||||
falling back to my little diary. Nobodys' been a good listener.

Nokia 7210 supports video clips of container mp4 with following specifications.
|
||||
|
||||
Video Codec: mpeg4
|
||||
Video Size: 320x240
|
||||
Bit Rate: 500
|
||||
Frame Rate: Auto
|
||||
Aspect: Auto
|
||||
Same Quality: False
|
||||
|
||||
Audio:
|
||||
Audio Codec: mpeg4aac
|
||||
Bit Rate: 96
|
||||
Sample Rate: 44100
|
||||

So to make a clip playable in phone,
|
||||
|
||||
Use
|
||||
|
||||
** ffmpeg -i <infile> -b 500 -s 320x240 -f mp4 -acodec libfaac -vcodec mpeg4 <outfile>**

This is just another day I thanked web 2.0, this time the story goes like this.
|
||||
|
||||
I needed to prepare a LaTeX document on the go, had no laptop with me and I couldnt find one with LaTeX installed, and installing LaTeX with current internet speeds, was the unthinkable.
|
||||
|
||||
I tried to settle with a word processor, but the idea hit me that I should search web, a simple search took me to [http://duckduckgo.com/?q=online+latex+editors](http://duckduckgo.com/?q=online+latex+editors)
|
||||
|
||||
I selected two links from the top,
|
||||
[MonkeyTex](http://monkeytex.bradcater.webfactional.com/) has a really simple no frills yet beautiful interface, where [ScribeTex](https://www.scribtex.com/) offer a feature filled one. They also offer paid plans, other than a free plan which restricts you in number of projects and collaborators.

Its a song from the movie [Once](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0907657/), very beautiful one. The song was exactly

about me. Searching for someone to hold me together, someone who will be

there guiding the sparrow home.

Then, I found you.

I had an assignment to write an applicaion to control a toy helicopter. It should accept the inputs from the arrow keys and then generate a serial signal. The serial port is connected to the interfacing circutary.
|
||||
|
||||
The major problem I faced was how to take arrow keys as input? Using the technical jargon - implement a non-bufferd input. A code to do it in console can be found [here](http://code.activestate.com/recipes/134892-getch-like-unbuffered-character-reading-from-stdin/). But its dirty and is implemented in a complex way that usage is little bit diffcult. At console level the code becomes more os-specific, as you can see from the above code. It has diffrent defenitions to implement the feature in each os.
|
||||
|
||||
The easy way to do this is using any windowing tool kits around, they all have a key logging abstraction implemented. Like this [code](http://stackoverflow.com/a/4205490). it uses the tkinter toolkit to read input. The way I suggest is using pygame, because it is designed to this stuff. (Which game doesnt have a single use arrow key used?)
|
||||
|
||||
You can get the keys from
|
||||
|
||||
{% codeblock lang:python %}
|
||||
pressed_keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
|
||||
{% endcodeblock %}
|
||||
and the key name as
|
||||
|
||||
{% codeblock lang:python %}
|
||||
for key_constant in pressed_keys:
|
||||
key_name = pygame.key.name(key_constant)
|
||||
{% endcodeblock %}
|
||||
|
||||
Then its just a matter of comparing them with the key name,( of arrow keys in our case).
|
||||
|
||||
{% codeblock lang:python %}
|
||||
if key_constant == 'up':
|
||||
port.write(_up_data)
|
||||
{% endcodeblock %}
|
||||
|
||||
The complete code is available in [github](https://github.com/dhananjaynav/Scripts/blob/master/castalia/helicontrol.py)

|

I admit I am a huge Git fanatic. Infact I havent used anything else for managing the code (except some checkout from svn). I was trying to build [orange](http://orange.biolab.si/), so I wasnt very happy when I realised they use [mercurial](http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Mercurial) for the revision control (I, like all my fellow programmers is a lazy person to adapt ;-) ).
|
||||
|
||||
The first problem I faced was when cloning the code (checkout, subversion guys!), by default mecurial doesnt give you any progress dialogs. It can get frustrating if you are cloning a substantially large repository.
|
||||
Good thing is mercurial from 1.5 onwards contains an extensoin for doing this, called [progress](http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/ProgressExtension). Only thng is you have to enable it explicitly.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that as per the mercurial documentation,system wide hg configuration file is stored in any of the following paths,
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
(Unix) /etc/mercurial/hgrc
|
||||
or
|
||||
/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc
|
||||
(Windows) Mercurial.ini or(Windows) hgrc.d*.rc
|
||||
or
|
||||
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMercurial
|
||||
```
|
||||
and repositroy specific configuration in
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
/.hg/hgrc [ from man hgrc ]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To enable the progress extention, Create the file if it doesnt exist and add the fllowing to it.
|
||||
```
|
||||
[extensions]progress =
|
||||
```
|
||||
This enables the progress extention. You can define the configuration specific to this extention, by creating a sperate section in hgrc named [progress]. Information about thease options can be obtained by executing
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[dhananjay@dlab orange]$ hg help progress|head
|
||||
|
||||
progress extension - show progress bars for some actionsThis extension uses the progress information logged by hg commands to drawprogress bars that are as informative as possible. Some progress bars onlyoffer indeterminate information, while others have a definite end point...
|
||||
```
|
||||
For example if you want a progress bar with refresh time 05 second, your hgrc should be like this,
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[dhananjay@dlab orange]$ cat ~/.hgrc
|
||||
[extensions]
|
||||
progress =
|
||||
|
||||
[progress]
|
||||
refresh = 0.5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

To be frank I wasn't doing much for almost an year, got lazy as one can ever be. Today was the day to break it. Got a little push do something and I got down to do it. I was looking at BSD development for a long time, and thought this is the best time to get involved. I am a total noob at BSD, I never really used one. So it was challenging when I started to install NetBSD into an old Comapq nx6120 that was lying around. I know anyone could get to the root shell easily, with help from brilliant click and go installers, configuring and customizing was the real problem.
|
||||
|
||||
Its 0300 now, and I got my laptop running NetBSD 6.0, and connected to wireless (easier than I thought - thanks to legacy hardware.)
|
||||
|
||||
**Configuring Intel PRO/Wireless **
|
||||
|
||||
** **Unlike linux, BSD can include all the microcode (firmware) in the distribution itself, due the flexibility of licensing system. Reading up _iwi(4)_ reveals youve to accept the EULA by setting the sysctl variable hw.iwi.accept_eula to 1
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# sysctl -w hw.iwi.accept_eula=1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The university wireless is open, so I didnt had to mess too much.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# ifconfig ssid "SSID" iwi0 dhclient iwi0
|
||||
```

Lot of posts in the web about this is just bogus, all of them want you
|
||||
to download a fat rootkit and click on the root.exe :-/
|
||||
|
||||
Being a developer device, rooting nexus 7 is easy.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Gain developer privilege (figure out yourself :-P)
|
||||
2. Reboot to bootloader
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ adb reboot bootloader
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. Unlock the bootloader
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ fastboot oem unlock # Might have to be the superuser.
|
||||
```
|
||||
4. Download the recovery image for device from [here](http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager)
|
||||
and flash it
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ fastboot flash recovery
|
||||
```
|
||||
5. Get the [superuser binary](http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053).
|
||||
6. Reboot the device and put it in the sdcard (or any storage you have,)
|
||||
7. Reboot to the recovery and flash it.
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ adb reboot recovery
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

If your day involves ssh-ing into various servers, you know how
|
||||
cumbersome is to type all that details again and again. When the number
|
||||
becomes large, you tend to confuse between host names, IPs and
|
||||
usernames.
|
||||
|
||||
But, ssh allows you to alias them into cute nicknames you prefer.
|
||||
|
||||
The configuration file needed to be edited is ``` ~/.ssh/config. ```
|
||||
|
||||
The sample configuration that should be append to this file for adding
|
||||
alias _server_ to `user@example.org` is :
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Host server
|
||||
Hostname example.org
|
||||
User user
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now all you have to do is
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ ssh server
|
||||
```

Love makes you see the world a lot different than you used to. Life suddenly gets filled with warm glowing colors. Opens up the each and every long sealed corridors of you heart and makes them beat in rhythm, orchestrating a symphony of life. The amount of happiness your life gets filled with might be the real definition of infinity
|
||||
|
||||
Being in love is a privilege, Gifted by a heart indeed is the greatest ever. Even parting hearts cant take away your happiness. We loose and keep some fragments and memories weaved in golden threads. For me, they will be sufficient to push the emptiness of existence out for a life time. More than enough to remain in love

I loved posterous. I don't know how I missed it but till the final day I had no clue they were shutting down. It was an hour of panic. I had every itch not to go back to wordpress. It was bloated and just not my thing, and Jekyll was way to much work!
|
||||
|
||||
Then I found Octopress - just the right thing, simply perfect. And it was love at first sight. :)

|
||||
|
||||
The default RTEMS geting started does not cover the toolchain setup as it should be. It either redirects the user to download a ~1 GB distro or some pretty old RPMs. This shouldn't be like this.
|
||||
|
||||
There is an excellent tool called ***rtems source builder*** which can help a newbie setup RTEMS environment in a brisk. This post is the authors journal about how he did it, shared beacuse it might be beneficial to people looking to bootstrap RTEMS.
|
||||
|
||||
RTEMS is a real time operating system. It works on various type of hardware, and a devlopment setup is specific to the hardware of developers choice. Here I will demonstrate setting up a sparc toolchain with b-sis simulator.
|
||||
|
||||
### Setting up toolchain
|
||||
First step of our RTEMS journey. A toolchain consists of a compiler, linker, debuggger and a simulator for the hardware. We need these tools to compile the RTEMS code and execute our programs.
|
||||
|
||||
This was a painful step in past. Cross compiler environments are nasty to get right. But dont worry, we have our wonderful rtems-source-builder to rescue.
|
||||
|
||||
rtems-source-builder automates the task of setting up this toolchain - it downloads the source files, builds them and installs in the system. It also have the option to make a tarball.
|
||||
|
||||
The actuall steps are documented here - [rtems-source-builder documentation][1], but if you prefer a capsule
|
||||
|
||||
- Setup directories and get source
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd
|
||||
$ mkdir -p development/rtems/src
|
||||
$ cd development/rtems/src
|
||||
$ git clone git://git.rtems.org/rtems-source-builder.git
|
||||
$ cd rtems-source-builder
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Check environment.
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ ./source-builder/sb-check
|
||||
RTEMS Source Builder environment is ok
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Build a sparc target
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd rtems
|
||||
$ ../source-builder/sb-set-builder --log=l-sparc.txt /
|
||||
--prefix=$HOME/development/rtems/4.11 4.11/rtems-sparc
|
||||
```
|
||||
this will produce binaries in `$HOME/development/rtems/4.11` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
__Note__: Default version of makeinfo in archlinux is incomaptible with tools we build, source-builder documentations says
|
||||
|
||||
>Archlinux, by default installs texinfo-5 which is incompatible for building GCC 4.7 tree. You will have to obtain texinfo-legacy from AUR and provide a manual override.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
# pacman -R texinfo
|
||||
$ yaourt -S texinfo-legacy
|
||||
# ln -s /usr/bin/makeinfo-4.13a /usr/bin/makeinfo
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Building RTEMS
|
||||
- First obtain the RTEMS code from github.
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd
|
||||
$ mkdir -p development/rtems/repo
|
||||
$ cd development/rtems/repo
|
||||
$ git clone git@github.com:RTEMS/rtems.git
|
||||
$ cd rtems
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Bootstrap the rtems and build code.
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ export PATH=/home/dhananjay/build/rtems/4.11/bin:$PATH
|
||||
$ ./bootstrap
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Build a b-sis simulator code.
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd ..
|
||||
$ mkdir b-sis && cd b-sis
|
||||
$ ../rtems/configure --target=sparc-rtems4.11 --enable-rtemsbsp=sis --enable-tests=samples --enable-posix --prefix=/home/dhananjay/build/rtems/src/
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Running example code.
|
||||
- Find the sample applications and execute them.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ cd sparc-rtems4.11/c/sis/testsuites/samples/hello
|
||||
$ ls
|
||||
|
||||
hello.exe hello.num hello.ralf init.o Makefile
|
||||
$ sparc-rtems4.11-run hello.exe
|
||||
|
||||
*** GSOC HELLO WORLD TEST ***
|
||||
Hello RTEMS World
|
||||
Dhananjay Balan
|
||||
*** END OF HELLO WORLD TEST ***
|
||||
```
|
||||
*Update*: Newer versions of RSB builds RTEMS automatically, no manual intervention needed. You can skip this step altogether.

RTEMS is difficult to debug, since the default GDB behaviour follows a language based approch and developer will have to debug the application+RTEMS stack as a whole. We are in process of developing a new set of extenstions for GDB to play nice with RTEMS. The intial code is available in this [github repository](https://github.com/dbalan/rtems-gdb).
|
||||
|
||||
To use the extenstion,
|
||||
- Clone the repository
|
||||
{% codeblock lang:bash %}
|
||||
git clone git@github.com:dbalan/rtems-gdb.git
|
||||
{% endcodeblock %}
|
||||
- Assuming you have a working [RTEMS toolchain](/blog/2013/05/28/getting-started-with-rtems-on-archlinux/), spin up the GDB and source the code.
|
||||
{% codeblock lang:bash %}

||||

In my openion [ACT](http://portal.acttv.in) is the best ISP in [Bangalore](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangalore), I found this network to be much better than any other provider in terms of reliability and the bandwidth, they seem very hacker friendly too, logging in as straightforward as a simple HTTP POST.
|
||||
|
||||
I have this script running in my router so that I never have to bother logging in.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
#!/bin/bash
|
||||
|
||||
USERNAME=""
|
||||
PASSWORD=""
|

curl --data 'act_username=${USERNAME}&act_password=${PASSWORD}&login=login' \

This is a quick cheatsheet to work with [`syslog(1)`](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/syslog.1.html) implementation OS X uses.
|
||||
|
||||
`Console.app` provides a nice UI to access logs in mac, you can do some basic filtering and search, but its limited in terms of raw control a terminal gives you.
|
||||
|
||||
`/usr/bin/syslog` can be used to both send and receive logs. Alternatively [`logger(1)`](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/logger.1.html) can be used to send logs to syslog.
|
||||
|
||||
## Print logs from a specific facilitiy
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# -w: similar to tailf
|
||||
syslog -k Facility local1 -w
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Sending logs
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# -l severity level
|
||||
syslog -s "message"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Sending logs upstream to another syslog server
|
||||
Syslog can forward your logs too. The configuration resides in `/etc/syslog.conf`. You can append forwarding rules in this file, format is
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Tab separated
|
||||
Facility.Level @IPADDR:PORT
|
||||
```
|
||||
After this reload syslog daemon.
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist
|
||||
sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plistp
|
||||
```

I do this every year to keep track of the changes in my style. This is the first that goes public though
|
||||
|
||||
- I've moved to a __Macbook air 2013__ edition as my primary laptop (a work perk, thanks [@plivo](https://twitter.com/plivo.com)).
|
||||
- __Emacs__ is the primary editor - I use [el-get](https://github.com/dimitri/el-get) to manage my emacs packages (my `init.el` is [hosted here](https://github.com/dbalan/.emacs.d/blob/master/init.el)), I also use [`mg`](http://homepage.boetes.org/software/mg/) heavily while I'm inside a terminal.
|
||||
- __iTerm2__ for terminal. (My [cheetsheet for for iterm is availabe here](https://gist.github.com/dbalan/378d2f3e4e6a27f0aae8))
|
||||
- __zsh__ for shell, with [antigen](https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen) managing plugins and dependencies.
|
||||
- __vagrant__ for VMs, I tried using `docker` with boot2docker, but my needs are diffrent. I just need a linux box that runs all the time.
|
||||
- [__Spectacle__](http://spectacleapp.com/) to manage windows. (Yes, I do miss Xmonad and i3)
|
||||
- __Firefox__ is the primary browser, sometimes __chromium__ running for some special sites and tasks.
|
||||
- __Todoist__ is a great app to track todo lists, and the concept of gaming the task completion frequency and awarding points is a joy!
|
||||
- __Evernote__ everything goes inside this.
|
||||
- __KeePassX__ manages all my passwords.
|
||||
- __Tarsnap__ for backups, nuff said.

|
||||
|
||||
## Referencing c from go.
|
||||
|
||||
### Basic operation
|
||||
|
||||
import "C" imports the C namespace into go, the comment just above this statement is treated as C.
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
/*
|
||||
#include "add.h"
|
||||
*/
|
||||
import "C"
|
||||
```
|
||||
Everything you exported from c library is available in the C namespace.
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
fmt.Println(
|
||||
C.add_two_numbers(3,4)
|
||||
)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Building code is as easy as `go build`
|
||||
|
||||
Accessing standard types are easy as `C.char`, `C.int`. For complex types, prepend the type name with an underscore at end – e.g `C.struct_stat`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Pointers and memory operations
|
||||
|
||||
Go provides an `unsafe` module. Go’s GC cannot manage the memory allocated in C code, you should call `C.free(unsafe.Pointer)` (`free` is defined in `<stdlib.h>` ensure that this library is imported) to deallocate.
|
||||
There are some special functions which convert Go types to C types and vice versa. (lifted from cgo documentation)
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Go string to C string
|
||||
// The C string is allocated in the C heap using malloc.
|
||||
// It is the caller's responsibility to arrange for it to be
|
||||
// freed, such as by calling C.free (be sure to include stdlib.h
|
||||
// if C.free is needed).
|
||||
func C.CString(string) *C.char
|
||||
|
||||
// C string to Go string
|
||||
func C.GoString(*C.char) string
|
||||
|
||||
// C string, length to Go string
|
||||
func C.GoStringN(*C.char, C.int) string
|
||||
|
||||
// C pointer, length to Go []byte
|
||||
func C.GoBytes(unsafe.Pointer, C.int) []byte
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Accessing complex objects
|
||||
|
||||
Accessing structs from Go
|
||||
```go
|
||||
/*
|
||||
struct person {
|
||||
int age;
|
||||
*/
|
||||
// this can be used in go as
|
||||
var p C.struct_person
|
||||
p.age = 23
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can also pass pointers
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
C.function_accepts_ptr_to_struct(&p)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Accessing Unions : No native counterpart, instead of converting it to a type, go treats them as a block of memory represented as byte array. Accessing data is done by casting unsafe.Pointer
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
/*
|
||||
union quant {
|
||||
float weight;
|
||||
int count;
|
||||
};
|
||||
*/
|
||||
|
||||
var q C.union_quant
|
||||
ptr := (*float32)(unsafe.Pointer(&q))
|
||||
*ptr = 3.14
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Extra goodies
|
||||
|
||||
### Compiler Flags
|
||||
Compiler flags can be set using the `#cgo` directive. (`CFLAGS`, `LDFLAGS` etc)
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
/*
|
||||
#cgo: LDFLAGS: -lmath
|
||||
#include <math.h>
|
||||
*/
|
||||
import "C"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Restricting building
|
||||
In many cases using cgo breaks the portability of your app, use build constraints to specify compatibility in source. Build constraints are comments which begin with
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// +build
|
||||
```
|
||||
Now, build comment must appear before package clause and should be followed by a blank line To restrict building just to Linux with cgo,
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// +build linux,cgo !darwin
|
||||
|
||||
package main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These are evaluated as `OR` of each constraint so the above line becomes `(linux AND cgo) OR (NOT darwin)`, also multiple build tags can be embedded in file.
|
||||
|
||||
There are other methods to restrict builds, see references.

|

I use octopress with github hosting my pages.
|
||||
Everytime I sit down to write, I have to look up commands in my bash history and read documentation. Its very distracting when you just want to write.
|
||||
|
||||
Maybe its my workflow thats wrong, I should replace all this with a set of small shell scripts :-P, maybe octopress 3.0 (insert another tool) will solve this.
|
||||
|
||||
But at this point I dont even remember which branch in my repo has what, and I should switch to a firendlier paltform (ghost or posthaven) or do a massive cleanup ASAP.
|
||||
|
||||
_EDIT: I finally managed to do that clean up_

```haskell
|

fibonacci :: [Integer]
|

fibonacci = 1:1:(zipWith (+) fibonacci (tail fibonacci))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Above is a simple function that generates an infinite stream of fibonacci numbers. Its written in haskell.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a piece of code that made me think a lot lately, it make clever use of recursion to define the stream and computes with a linear number of additions. I think its pretty damn sexy!
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes:
|
||||
- Many thanks to a co-worker who helped me figure this out.
|
||||
- I hear that there are more efficient ways to compute fibonacci numbers (namley O(logn)). - should investigate this

Yesterday, Found an old portable hard disk in the attic. Face lights up. Connect to computer, doesnt work. The connection probabaly fried. Its probabaly the connector, HDD internally uses a `SATA` bus.
|
||||
|
||||
I know what to do, lets oopen the server box and connect to the motherboard. Can’t find any SATA cable. `find sata ~house`
|
||||
|
||||
Finally hard disk plugged in, `FreeBSD` boots. `dmesg` shows everything is alright, except `ext4`. #sigh
|
||||
|
||||
Somebody suggests `fuse`. Alright, thats it then. Compile, `kldld` and booyeah!
|
||||
|
||||
Okay, its full of photos from past. Wow! I need to see them, lets share it to something with a monitor. That’d be my mac. `sshfs`? Sorry dude, you need the whole `XCode` suite and should sacrifice an extra kidney to load unsigned `kext`s.
|
||||
|
||||
But there are other ways of sharing files. `SMB` FTW!
|
||||
|
||||
Why the fuck are there three samba versions in ports. `cd /usr/ports/samba$(random_ver)`
|
||||
|
||||
Okay, samba is setup and mounted, tears
|
||||
|
||||
Nooo - I can’t access the hard disk. Why? huh perms fucking perms!
|
||||
|
||||
I got this! gonna chmod the shit out, but except… it doesn’t work. What the fuck does not implemented mean?
|
||||
|
||||
JFGI. JFGI POints to ext4 code - ext4 fuse is strictly read only. (facepalm)
|
||||
|
||||
Story still continues…

_[Swathathralokam '15](http://swathanthralokam2015.com/) was a conference on rationality and free thought that happened during 24th and 25th of december 2015_
|
||||
|
||||
This was my first experience of attending a non tech conference. Also, first one with malayalam as the primary language. I have been to conferences which dealt with intersection of technology with other things, like hillhacks and hackbeach. But SL caters to an entirely different crowd.
|
||||
|
||||
I was the only one actively using a laptop, first stint of culture difference. At Least I could tether my mobile internet without interfering wifi APs. Except two of the linux boxes organisers were running, everything else was windows. I guess desktop linux has to catch up a lot more than I previously thought.
|
||||
|
||||
SL is put together by an organisation called “Kerala Freethinkers Forum”, the way this community has come together using social media, esp facebook is amazing. It did push my dilema further about maintaining a facebook account. Definitely delayed the decision to eventually delete the account. Some more thinking is needed.
|
||||
|
||||
The conference had around 20 talks spanned over two days, I found the talks to be dense, more than my feeble brain could process. I had to take an extra break between talks (sadly, missing a part of next one) to reflect on the newly obtained information.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Language was a barrier. Malayalm has become a bit more cumbersome to process. I seem to have lost the fluidity in using it, like a machine that has kept unused for long. At this moment giving a formal talk is way too hard for me (this was also, my first malayalam talk)
|
||||
|
||||
I found that out during my ten minute pitch of [Nemo’s Bug bounty for homeopathy](http://captnemo.in/homeopathy/). I had to switch languages - which I'm afraid got interpreted as an elitist talk. Anyway, it did produce results. I got to meet [Dr. Manoj Komet](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Manoj_Komath) who has written [many articles against homeopathy](http://yukthiyugam.com/tag/manoj-komath/) and state of health sciences in general. I am going to go through all the content he pointed out and do something about it.
|
||||
|
||||
I got [one more donor for bug bounty](https://github.com/captn3m0/captn3m0.github.com/pull/8) as well. :-)
|
||||
|
||||
These were my favourite talks from SL -
|
||||
|
||||
Megha's talk on __"Phantoms in human nature"__ was a spot on because I just finished _"Thinking fast and slow"_ and was scouring _LessWrong_ for more content. She did a good job of explaining. I enjoyed talking to her post session very much.
|
||||
|
||||
Nishad's Talk on __"Wason selection task and rational thinking"__, He introduced wason selection task and went ahead to explain _Necessary and sufficient conditions_. The simplicity in which he introduced the math behind was amazing.
|
||||
|
||||
__"Luca, Luci and me"__ was a talk by Dr. KP Aravindan on evolution. It was refreshing to go through those contents again. It made me dig up my old notes from my brilliant genetics teacher [a grad student in genetic engineering at that time] and refresh them when I was home.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
_I was told that recordings will be uploaded to youtube soon. Will try to link them as soon as they are up._
|
||||
|
||||
There was an open forum on _"Family and rationality"_. I felt it contained way too much anecdotal statements (of kind “I have this experience so I support this worldview of family”). It was also loosely structured, making it a bit difficult to follow. I guess that's the difference between a debate and an open forum(?). I don't think it helped me much. I would have been much happier with a proper debate with bit more moderation. The gender parity was at the forum was another concern. There were fewer women speakers.
|
||||
|
||||
Last but not least, I did encounter some cool tech in the conference venue. The org tech team, [Rahul](https://www.facebook.com/2ar.rahul), [Abhay](https://www.facebook.com/abhai.sasidharan), and [Akhil](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009322327244&fref=ts) setup a [live feed using gstreamer](https://gist.github.com/ar-rahul/50b5044aca38918223e7). They used UDP multicast to stream the feed to monitors in surrounding buildings. It worked very well, except for a bit noisy audio signal due to poor earthing.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Overall, it was a nice conference,met a lot of old friends, made few new ones. perfect way to start the winter break.

title: "go: `:=` operator causes accidental shadowing"
|

|

---
|
||||
|
||||
Go provides `:=` operator to make declaring variables easier. It is a [shorthand to declare and set a value of a variable](https://golang.org/ref/spec#Short_variable_declarations). for example,
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
var x int
|
||||
x = 42
|
||||
```
|
||||
can be written as
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
x := 42
|
||||
```
|
||||
But if not careful, this can accidently shadow variable bindings. Let's look at the fictitious piece of code.
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
package main
|
||||
|
||||
import "fmt"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
func fictitiousFunc() (int, error) {
|
||||
return 42, nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
x := 10;
|
||||
x, err := fictitiousFunc()
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
fmt.Println("I'll never print")
|
||||
}
|
||||
fmt.Println("value of x: ", x)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
This produces following output
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
value of x: 42
|
||||
```
|
||||
While, this following piece of code will fail to compile
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
package main
|
||||
|
||||
import "fmt"
|
||||
|
||||
func fictitiousFunc() (int, error) {
|
||||
return 42, nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
x := 10
|
||||
// replace :=
|
||||
var x int
|
||||
var err error
|
||||
x, err = fictitiousFunc()
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
fmt.Println("I'll never print")
|
||||
}
|
||||
fmt.Println("value of x: ", x)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
output:
|
||||
```
|
||||
prog.go:12: x redeclared in this block
|
||||
previous declaration at prog.go:10
|
||||
```
|
||||
So we can see that the operator is somewhat intelligent, and does not redeclare the variables.
|
||||
|
||||
Now what if we push it down a scope? See the following code
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
package main
|
||||
|
||||
import "fmt"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
func fictitiousFunc() (int, error) {
|
||||
return 42, nil
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
someCondition := true
|
||||
|
||||
x := -1;
|
||||
|
||||
if someCondition {
|
||||
x, err := fictitiousFunc()
|
||||
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
fmt.Println("I'll never print")
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fmt.Println("value of x inside: ", x)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fmt.Println("value x outside: ", x)
|
||||
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This produces,
|
||||
```go
|
||||
value of x inside: 42
|
||||
value x outside: -1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
At line: 16, since the immediate scope (line:15-32) does not have variable `x` declared, `:=` is redeclaring the variable. a.k.a the __variable `x` gets shadowed__.
|
||||
|
||||
Only workaround I can think of is not to use `:=`, i.e change the code to
|
||||
```go
|
||||
if someCondition {
|
||||
var err error
|
||||
x, err = fictitiousFunc()
|
||||
|
||||
if err != nil {
|
||||
fmt.Println("I'll never print")
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
fmt.Println("value of x inside: ", x)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you know something better let me know.

** TL;DR** My learning from job hunting as a programmer._
|
||||
|
||||
Sometime ago I decided that I need a change of scenery and decided to look for new gigs.
|
||||

My current job is my first real job after university. Looking back, now that I've more experience of the hiring process, I feel landing it was ridiculously easy ! So you can see job hunting is a quite new territory for me. This is in no way a definitive guide for finding a job; merely my experience.
|
||||
|
||||
I've couple of friends who insist it's a sellers market - but there are lot more variables that are at play.
|
||||
|
||||
The first obvious approach was to apply to all the companies I care about. Fill up the forms in `https://company.com/careers`. Turns out this is far from truth. Almost no one replied, so I started scouring job boards.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the data from my experiments
|
||||
|
||||
{% img /images/job_hunt_plot.png %}
|
||||
|
||||
I did my due diligence before applying to these companies, reading the job description thoroughly, googling a bit about the engineering, etc. Even then, the conversion rate to an interview is really really small. Most of the organisations don't reply at all.
|
||||
|
||||
This are the things I picked up from my efforts -
|
||||
|
||||
## Write a good cover letter.
|
||||
|
||||
This is really important if you are applying via email. In the beginning, my cover letters were mostly focused on my interest in the position and organisation with resume which talked about the profile and work experience. The moment I started moving more info into the cover letter, response rate increased. Its OK if you end up duplicating information, try to cram more info onto the letter without increasing the word count much.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, be very open about your status, if you'd need sponsorship for VISA, mention it in the beginning itself, saves time for both you and the organisation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Automate all possible things
|
||||
|
||||
Nobody has time to write a billion emails and manage regular work, so automate them. In my case I separated my cover letter into parts that are common and specific to a position.
|
||||
|
||||
Then I wrote a small script that reads the email and the specific bits from an spreadsheet and sends out application emails.
|
||||
|
||||
## Use the network
|
||||
|
||||
This is so far the best option to search for a job. Friends can give you a direct connection to a prospective employer. Also, conversion rate is really huge because the recommender often has a good idea about job and the candidate.
|
||||
|
||||
## Find a real person
|
||||
|
||||
The job descriptions usually is too generic and most times there'll be hidden requirements. Find a direct contact in the company and ask about their current stack, engineering workflow and exact needs. This person can also turn out to be your biggest ally in the process.
|
||||
|
||||
## Get a good calendar application
|
||||
|
||||
Interviews mean lots of meetings spanned across multiple time zones, so add everything to a calendar and stick to it. Pay extra attention to time zone conversions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Get over with rejection
|
||||
|
||||
There are plenty of reasons to get rejected, and it may not be anything you control. Maybe the company is going through a restructuring, maybe the position is no longer available or the all time favourite VISA restrictions.
|
||||
|
||||
Important thing is to get feedback so that you can fix all possible issues. [Interviewers are generally hesitant to give feedback](https://www.quora.com/Why-do-interviewers-refuse-to-give-valuable-feedback-to-rejected-candidates-after-interviews). But there is no harm in asking.
