Try sorting by luminance instead of hue See the linear YQI / YIQ examples here: http://visualmotive.com/colorsort/

Comment on Mathics: Django in Sage-Python on nginx and gunicorn by kokos

Hi,

seems like you could remove gunicorn entirely: http://circus.readthedocs.org/en/latest/sockets/#circus-stack-v-s-classical-stack

Have you tried this?

Cheers

Hi,

I see no reason for you to have both gunicorn and Circus handling your web workers. You could directly let circus handle this for you, using chaussette, a simple socket runner.

Tarek did a pretty good job at explaining this, maybe you should have a look here: http://docs.circus.io/en/0.5.2.1/sockets/#circus-stack-v-s-classical-stack

Hope Circus matches your needs

I’m from the US. These suggestions may not be universal. ‘Agy’ brings to mind either ‘ageism’ or ‘aggie’ (as in Agricultural schools, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggie#Schools). In the vein of the former sense, ‘agy’ might be a description of how someone behaves, or a feeling something (like music) gives you, as in ‘Beatles songs have an agy tonality, man’ (i.e. taking you back to a specific time in history). Phonetically, though, it rolls off more like the second one to me, but lexically, ‘agy’ and ‘aggie’ are fairly dissimilar. So it’s a toss-up.

The HN post about Mathics brought me here, incidentally. I usually poke around a place to get a sense of the person behind such a cool thing. Thanks, now.

Comment on Lago Maggiore by Peter

Hey There Jan,
Thanks for that, The lakes of northern Italy are so varied in character that it is tempting to say that all they have in common are the backdrop of the Alps and a certain similarity in luxuriant flora. They are criss-crossed by borders not only of provinces but also of countries and each has its own enthusiastic partisans, including the many writers who have visited them in the past.
BTW great blogpost

Comment on Batch-converting CSV to Google Maps KML to illustrate Slovenian name signs in Carinthia by Jan

Jan — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:26:15 +0000

Hi Ibby,

Thanks for your nice feedback!

I don’t think the issue you mention is related to special unicode characters. Just make sure the values in your CSV file are separated by tabulators and you specify all of the needed fields (place, place_extra, sub_region, region, country, color). place, sub_region, region, and country are used to geocode the locations, place_extra is just added to the caption of a place. Note that in the example CSV file, the sub_region field is empty in all rows (=> two consecutive tabs after the first two fields).

Hope this helps, otherwise feel free to send me your CSV file by email and I’ll have a look at it.

Jan

Hi Jan,

This is an excellent, excellent application of CSV to KML! I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time.

However, I cannot get your method to work for non-UTF8 places. For instance, if I replace the first location with somewhere in England (Lambeth”Brixton”"London”"England), I recieve an error along the lines of ‘need more values to unpack. I’m guessing it’s looking for unicode characters?

Ibz out.

Comment on Highlighting changes in LaTeX by novoid

novoid — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:55:02 +0000

If the LaTeX source is managed in a git repository, I am using:
«git diff –color-words main.tex»

If I only got two different TeX-files I want to analyze, I am using «meld» to visualize the differences.

Within a LaTeX document I do not see a use case where I want to visualize changes. I’d probably use margin space notes.
