...y discovered that the built-in Mathematica function DominantColors doesn't allow enough fine-grained control to approximate the algorithm that iTunes uses. I wrote my own function instead... A simple method to calculate the dominant color in a group of pixels is to collect all pixels into buckets ...

... face is data purity: sometimes the parameters received or the data in the tables are just plain wrong, resulting in duplicate key errors, referential constrain errors, check constrain errors and so on and so forth. After all, that's exactly the role of these constrains, if these data purity errors ...

...he type of population. If population is a list, this line will create a shallow copy of the list. For an object of type tuple or a str, it will do nothing (the line will do the same without [:]), and for a (say) NumPy array, it will create a new view to the same data. ...

...initializing or assigning to it. Have a look at its documentation here. Finally, the use of a raw function pointer is also a bit oldish. Modern C++ code should be decoupled from specific functions / types. You may want to look into Boost.Function to look for a better way. It would look like this the...

... same effect in the running code ipdb is a version of pdb for IPython. It allows the use of pdb with all the IPython features including tab completion. It is also possible to set pdb to automatically run on an uncaught exception. Pydb was written to be an enhanced version of Pdb. Benefits? ...

... says that it will return a random long if it fails to detect the mac: "If all attempts to obtain the hardware address fail, we choose a random 48-bit number with its eighth bit set to 1 as recommended in RFC 4122." So check that eighth bit! – deinonychusaur Fe...

... All Answers are right, but i still want to give some other alternatives that may work. If you are looking for the assigned width (ignoring padding, margin and so on) you could use. getComputedStyle(element).width; //returns...

...e(). I'll spare you the assembly, but it is identical - register names and all. Step 2: Mathematical reduction: x + (y ^ x) = y sign can only take one of two values, 0 or 0x80000000. When x = 0, then x + (y ^ x) = y then trivial holds. Adding and xoring by 0x80000000 is the same. It flips the sign...

...it or define a new object. The intent is to create a global namespace, normally I will use sub namespaces so this line helps to avoid re-defining the top level namespace. 2) Yes, it has created a singleton. – Naeem Sarfraz Apr 7 '15 at 9:41 ...

... All the answers work but they always traverse the whole list. If I understand your question, you only need the first match. So you don't have to consider the rest of the list if you found your first match: mylist = ['abc123'...
