PhotoSketch

by karlcow

We present a system that composes a realistic picture from a simple freehand sketch annotated with text labels. The composed picture is generated by seamlessly stitching several photographs in agreement with the sketch and text labels; these are found by searching the Internet. Although online image search generates many inappropriate results, our system is able to automatically select suitable photographs to generate a high quality composition, using a filtering scheme to exclude undesirable images. We also provide a novel image blending algorithm to allow seamless image composition. Each blending result is given a numeric score, allowing us to find an optimal combination of discovered images. Experimental results show the method is very successful; we also evaluate our system using the results from two user studies.

Build External Links with Social Bookmarks

by access2
Inbound links -- links from other sites to your page -- are far more important in determining your PageRank and placement in search engine results pages (or SERPs) than keyword density or other artificial means of estimating "quality." That is why social media such as online bookmarking sites have become so critical to successful website operation.

Cargo

by Neewok & 5 others

Cargo is a web publishing (CMS) and community-building platform currently in development.

Cargo evolved out of the system that runs the SpaceCollective community. We found it remarkably successful and efficient in creating visual content on the web, placing a strong emphasis on design, layout, image quality and typography. Our goal is to dramatically increase the accessibility and exposure of creative individuals on the Internet, while aspiring to build a networked context that will contribute to the culture as a whole.

Why Functional Programming Matters

by karlcow

As software becomes more and more complex, it is more and more important to structure it well. Well-structured software is easy to write, easy to debug, and provides a collection of modules that can be re-used to reduce future programming costs. Conventional languages place conceptual limits on the way problems can be modularised. Functional languages push those limits back. In this paper we show that two features of functional languages in particular, higher-order functions and lazy evaluation, can contribute greatly to modularity. As examples, we manipulate lists and trees, program several numerical algorithms, and implement the alpha-beta heuristic (an algorithm from Artificial Intelligence used in game-playing programs). Since modularity is the key to successful programming, functional languages are vitally important to the real world.

Bit Rebels

by e_D_D_y
In the beginning of 2009 Richard Darell (founder of the highly successful design blog Minervity.com) conceived the idea for a blog entirely focused around fun, on the edge and relevant subjects. In May 2009 Richard started developing the idea further and not long into the planning process Richard was joined by the talented blogger Misty Belardo. She showed tireless dedication and inspiration for the project and the two started working on the realisation of the concept BitRebels.com. The basic idea is to present a unique view on relevant subjects and make them eye catching in all its simplicity. The short yet striking blog posts are meant to make you think. They are meant to give you that second perspective on things that you might have missed if it wasn’t for BitRebels.com.

CISSM - Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland |

by karlcow

Whether for private financial gain (e.g., by narcotics and arms traffickers) or for harmful political aims (e.g., by insurgents, terrorists, and other violent extremists), these illicit operations are most successful -- and most dangerous -- when their perpetrators have a place or situation that can provide refuge from efforts to combat or counter them. Such places and situations are often called safe havens, and potential safe havens are sometimes called ungoverned areas.

Donc si je comprends bien un endroit sécurisé n'est pas un endroit protégé. :)
