Bash on Mac OS X Pages: 1, 2 Regular Variables A regular variable typically holds a piece of information that you use frequently. Because variables in shell scripts are loosely typed, unlike C and Java, variables can hold virtually anything: a number, string, or composite value such as an array or hash.

Creating a variable is pretty painless: name=value, and retrieving its value is almost as easy: $name. Thus, if you wished to see the current date when opening a new Terminal window, you could place the following lines in your profile: mydate=`date "+%H:%M:%S %m/%d/%y"` echo "hi $USER, the current time is $mydate" For more information on shell scripting, refer to Chris Stone's series of articles mentioned in the introduction.

Environment Variables Environment variables are essentially a special case of shell variables; they are visible to all child processes that are spawned from the shell. By convention, the names of environment variables are all uppercase. Aliases Setting Your Prompt. Optimization Algorithm Toolkit (OAT) About. About The Optimization Algorithm Toolkit (OAT) is a workbench and toolkit for developing, evaluating, experimenting, and playing with classical and state-of-the-art optimization algorithms on standard benchmark problem domains. The software includes reference algorithm implementations, graphing, visualizations, and much more. OAT provides a functional computational intelligence library for investigating existing algorithms and problems, as well as implementing new problems and algorithms.

Built on top of this library is a simple explorer and experimenter graphical user interface to provide a basic understanding of the functionality in the library. The goal of the library is to facilitate best practice of algorithm, problem, and experiment design and implementation, as well as software engineering principles. The graphical user interface provide non-technical access for configuring and visualizing existing techniques on standard benchmark problem instances. Features.

Tyler Durden’s 8 Rules of Innovation. We all want to do remarkable things, and lead remarkable lives.

No one wants to spend the day engaged in mundane productivity in pursuit of a meaningless consumer existence. Certainly not you, right? So why do we find it so hard to break out of our rut and do truly innovative things? Because it’s hard. Because it often requires us to significantly alter our perspectives and step outside our comfort zones. It’s almost like becoming another person. I Know This Because Tyler Knows This… If you haven’t seen the movie Fight Club (or read Chuck Palahniuk’s excellent novel), I won’t spoil the fantastic plot twist where we come to understand who Tyler Durden really is. At its core, Fight Club is about living the life you truly want to live, and the hard path to getting there. Luckily, Tyler says a lot of things that apply directly to innovative action.

Tyler’s First Rule of Innovation: “No fear. This is the most important lesson, and it’s the one people struggle with and resist. “No fear! Seriously. The Blog of Author Tim Ferriss. “Everyone’s looking for rules to follow, and the sooner you realize there aren’t any, the better art can be.”– Jerrod Carmichael Jerrod Carmichael is pushing the boundaries of comedy with his groundbreaking work in stand-up, television, and film. Now just 29 years old, what this driven North Carolina native has accomplished is mind-boggling, and 2017 is going to be his biggest year yet. Jerrod stars in the hit NBC series The Carmichael Show, which he also writes and executive produces. The third season of the show premieres in 2017. In March of 2017, Jerrod will star in his second stand-up comedy special on HBO, directed by Bo Burnham.

He made his debut on HBO in 2014 with his critically acclaimed one-hour special, Love at the Store, directed by Spike Lee. Love at the Store is the funniest standup special I’ve seen in many years, and it’s the reason I reached out to Jerrod. Jerrod recently announced his upcoming authorial debut with an as-yet-untitled memoir. Agile Management | NOOP.NL. Software Creation Mystery. HTML5 Rocks - A resource for open web HTML5 developers.
