Meebling - Jeux Flash - Recherche Google
by decembre
C’est un peu une variation des légendaires lemmings version Locoroco. Les meeblings sont des sortes de bulbes qui possèdent pour la plupart une propriété qui s’active quand on clique dessus (attirer, repousser, inverser la graviter, creuser, planter un arbre, etc.). Le but est est d’en amener un certain nombre vers la sortie. C’est frais, c’est plutôt rapide et on s’amuse bien durant les 50 niveaux proposés.

Ecrans - The Big Picture : « Les gens aiment voir des grandes images en haute qualité »

The Big Picture en est une variation au niveau du format, ce n’est ni techniquement difficile, ni révolutionnaire. En fait, c’est plutôt dépouillé. Délibérément, le site n’utilise pas Flash, n’ouvre pas de fenêtres pop-up, et ne force pas l’utilisateur à cliquer sur un bouton « suivant » et à télécharger une nouvelle page à chaque image.
Thoughts About Photography: Updated 35mm Lego Camera Design
by sbrothier
Inspired by George Bristol’s variation on the film advance mechanism of my Lego camera, I have reworked the design of my 35mm Lego camera. The new camera has several things going for it. Overall it is slightly smaller. It now has an internal shutter mechanism which replaces the clumsy swinging door of the earlier model. Most importantly, I came up with a simple way to rewind the film so now the camera no longer needs to be unloaded in the dark. I have tested a couple of rolls of film with it and the improvements make this a very fun little toy! I am seriously starting to consider selling these, perhaps on Ebay. Would anybody be interested? What do you think it would be worth?
An Empirical Evaluation of Deep Architectures on Problems with Many Factors of Variation [PDF]
by ogrisel
(via)
Recently, several learning algorithms relying on models with deep architectures have
been proposed. Though they have demonstrated impressive performance, to date, they
have only been evaluated on relatively simple problems such as digit recognition in a controlled environment, for which many machine
learning algorithms already report reasonable results. Here, we present a series of experiments which indicate that these models show
promise in solving harder learning problems that exhibit many factors of variation. These
models are compared with well-established algorithms such as Support Vector Machines
and single hidden-layer feed-forward neural networks.

WNYU | student-run radio station | playable archives
by garret
Highly recommended: The New Afternoon Show, an eclectic mix of rock and related music. The only place in and around New York to hear the newest independent and imported sounds without chatter and filler. Three and a half hours a day of pure, unadulterated adventurous New Sounds. Each DJ adds their own perspective to give the show some nice daily variation. Plus ticket giveaways, interviews, guest DJ's and live in-studio performances by today's underground stars. A playlist with song information is available for each show.
Add and delete vertical space in measured intervals | The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web
by sbrothier
“Headings, subheads, block quotations, footnotes, illustrations, captions and other intrusions into the text create syncopations and variations against the base rhythm of regularly leaded lines. These variations can and should add life to the page, but the main text should also return after each variation precisely on beat and in phase.”
The social structure of Free and Open Source software development
by mbertier
(via)
We suggest, therefore, that it is wrong to assume that FLOSS projects are distinguished by a particular social structure merely because they are FLOSS. Our findings suggest that FLOSS projects might have to work hard to achieve the expected development advantages which have been assumed to flow from "going open." In addition, the variation in communications structure across projects means that communications centralization is useful for comparisons between FLOSS teams. We found that larger FLOSS teams tend to have more decentralized communication patterns, a finding that suggests interesting avenues for further research examining, for example, the relationship between communications structure and code modularity.
Film: Labyrinthe d'herbes
by karlcow
Labyrinthe d'herbes est une variation libre sans structure narrative bien définie, autant de scènes et visions s'enchaînant sans liens apparents mais dont les résurgences thématiques se croisent, se mêlent, se complètent pour former un ensemble cohérent mais néanmoins hermétique.

Goto80

GOTO8O (new website)
With roots in both catchy and extreme music plus an unhealthy obsession with errors and variation, Goto80 delivers eclectic music based on 8-bit technology. Since 10 years Goto80 has been praised as a datapriest both in the demoscene aswell as at pop and club stages around the world, with some 80 gigs in Europe, America and Australia. Within the 8-bit sound he seamlessly blends styles ranging from soothing ambience to furious breakcore, although often recognized for his melodic poppy songs. Apart from some commercial releases, he spreads his music for free. His live shows humanize the technology by number-jamming, singing and keyboard-destruction and hopefully have either Entter or Jossystem as VJs.

This is a variation of itertools.groupby.
The itertools.groupby iterator assumes that the input is not sorted but will fit in memory. This iterator has the same API, but assumes the opposite.

QA Framework: Specification Guidelines
by mbertier
& 1 other
(via)
The goal of this document is to help W3C editors write better specifications, by making a specification easier to interpret without ambiguity and clearer as to what is required in order to conform. It focuses on how to define and specify conformance. It also addresses how a specification might allow variation among conforming implementations. The document presents guidelines or requirements, supplemented with good practices, examples and techniques.
