the world is a pixel
Arduino on Ubuntu
My Arduinos arrived yesterday. It’s a programmable open source and hardware device.
To install its software on my Ubuntu 8.10 I need Java installed and some tools that I could get by:
sudo apt-get install avrdude avrdude-doc avrp avrprog binutils-avr gcc-avr

Python, flatten a list
Surprisingly python doesn’t have a shortcut for flatten a list (more generally a list of lists of lists of…). I made a simple implementation that doesn’t use recursion and tries to be written clearly. I get a element from a “bad” list (a list that can have another lists). If the element is not a [...]

This was a project that me and Marco Diego created during our graduation for the Computer Graphics course. It is a ray tracing engine build from scratch in C. It was great exercise of experimentation on how implement object-oriented design patterns in ANSI C. Later Marco continued it in his master’s degree thesis implementing more [...]

Context ctx = getContext(); Display display = ((WindowManager)ctx.getSystemService(ctx.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay(); int width = display.getWidth(); int height = display.getHeight(); Yes, there are easier ways to retrieve the screen width on Android but there are cases that this long code is the only solution. You may already have the Context. WindowManager or the Display and so it would be [...]

$bric = array("Brazil", "Russia", "India", "China"); $ric = $bric; // array copy $br = array_shift($ric); // left shift at $ric. $br stores "Brazil" print_r($bric); // $bric remains the same print_r($ric); // $ric lost "Brazil" Output: Array ( [0] => Brazil [1] => Russia [2] => India [3] => China ) Array ( [0] => Russia [...]

I don’t like the approach of calling native shell commands in any language instead of using multi platform libraries, but here is a little prof of concept Java program to call native commands. import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class Exec { public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException { Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().e xec(args); BufferedReader [...]

Iterating over a HashMap using the enhanced loop (foreach) in Java is a good way to keep your code smaller, more legible and usually more semantically coherent. import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; class Foo {} public class Main { public static void main(String args[]){ Map<Byte, Foo> mHash; mHash = new HashMap<Byte, Foo>(); [...]
