How to achieve "spherical" mapping in procedural materials?
Procedural texture for longitudinal lines
Should training data in each batch size be resample only one time or at each epoch when using mini-batch I saw some related question regarding to the fact is one should use sampling with resampling or without when using minibatch.  However my question is different.  Let's assume that I use sampling witouth replacement. Meaning that for each epoch one training example can only belong one 'batch size' group.  I want to know if one should only resample the training data (into the different batch size) only 1 time or before to start to update the parameters before each epoch.  For instance suppose I have 20 'batch size' group. Suppose at the first iteration I have sampled picture A in group 2 and picture B in group 4.  If so should picture A always stay in group 2 and picture B in group 4. Or should I resample it before to start a new epoch (e.g. at epoch 2 put picture B in group 6 and picture B in group 20).

This can be done elegantly in gnuplot...   ...but I simply cannot reproduce this with pgfplots. The only solution I managed to find with google is the use of the patterns tikz library, however it is unacceptibly ugly:    I'm not aware of any way to alter the color, line width and - especially - the distance between the hatching lines when patterns library is employed. Is there any way to set it? (So that I can change it to resemble the gnuplot version.)  Or, should I choose a completely different approach to reproduce the gnuplot-style hatching...?  Also note that   pgfplots changes the color of the x-axis to red on the interval (which is not a critical problem, of course, but not elegant). the legend for the filling is much more logical in case of gnuplot. Can I reproduce it with pgfplots?   Here is the code I currently use:  \begin{figure}[ht!] \centering \begin{tikzpicture}     \begin{axis}[xmin=-4,xmax=4,xlabel={z},ymin=0,ymax=1]      \addplot[color=red,domain=-4:4,samples=100] {1/sqrt(2*pi)*exp(-x^2/2)};     \addlegendentry{z}     \addplot[color=red,fill=red, pattern=north east lines,  domain=0:1,samples=100] {1/sqrt(2*pi)*exp(-x^2/2)} \closedcycle;     \addlegendentry{Interval}     \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{figure} How to convert std::string to LPCWSTR in C++ (Unicode) I'm playing around with height maps (bitmaps), trying to create some of my own in my game, and for that I need to implement some basic drawing methods. I've quickly realized that drawing straight lines isn't as basic as I thought.  It simple's if your points share an X or Y coordinate, or if they are aligned so you can draw a perfectly diagonal line. But in all other cases its trickier.  What algorithm do you use to determine what pixels need to be coloured for it to become a "straight" line ? round in PHP shows scientific notation instead of full number I'm trying to do an echo of a variable containing 1400000.  so there is written: echo round(1400000); this gives 1,4E+6 instead of the full number. Anybody an idea on how to display it fully? Problem writing aux file Travelling by bus I am just learning ArcGIS 10.2 and it was working well until I tried to use the Export to a Geodatabase (single) option for a dbs table I made. Since then, it seems I now get the same Script Error for import/export functions. However, I just tried to export to Geodatabase (multiple) and error did not pop up. I spoke with tech support and they could not help me so far. I really do not know much about GIS so it is hard for me to fix this problem and cannot proceed with some things. Comment font sizes are inconsistent on Android How can I make iconv replace the input file with the converted output? I have a bash script which enumerates through every *.php file in a directory and applies iconv to it. This gets output in STDOUT.   Since adding the -o parameter ( in my experience ) actually writes a blank file probably before the conversion takes place, how can I adjust my script so it does the conversion, then overwrites the input file?  for file in *.php do     iconv -f cp1251 -t utf8 "$file" done What is code coverage and how do YOU measure it?  I was asked this question regarding our automating testing code coverage. It seems to be that, outside of automated tools, it is more art than science. Are there any real-world examples of how to use code coverage? I'm doing some architectural cleanup that involves moving a bunch of classes into different projects and/or namespaces. Currently I'm moving the files by hand, building, and then manually adding using Foo statements as needed to resolve compilation errors. Anyone know of a smarter way of doing this? (We're a CodeRush and Refactor! shop, but I'd be interested to hear if Resharper has support for this) Opening files from version 2.8 in 2.79 I have a content type with multiple fields. Some of the fields are accessible to everyone and there are other fields for which the access is controlled.   Example: There is a content type called Reports with fields like title, summary, body etc. Title and summary should be visible to everyone but the access to body field is controlled.  For implementing this I need to have 2 view modes. one of them will have the fields title and summary displayed with the rest of the fields hidden. The other view mode will have only the body field visible. I am planning to implement the hook hook_node_access to derive the access permissions for the node. So how can I get the view mode in this hook so that I can have my access check based on the view mode. Similar to Lifepod 1993, but not it This film is very similar to Lifepod 1993, but it takes place in a large ship, not a pod.  I can remember three characters... a technical engineer, being the one sabotaging the ship. And also this military cut character (who looks a lot like Kane from Mortal Kombat) and another girl (I think it was long, wavy black hair).  The "plot" twist that sends this one apart, at least back in the 1990´s, is that the ending comes to the fact there is only enough food and oxygen for one survivor and no escape pods or cryotubes, only a device that "could" work as a cryotube. For some reason that I cant remember the "Kane" dude chooses to die instead, by taking poison (which had been previously used on other surviving members). But the girl "tricks" him and drugs him instead, then places him in the "cryotube" and she stays awake to await for the rescue team.  Of course, they get salvaged, and he is still okay, surprised that she tricked him and saved him. Rings a bell for anyone? Is definitely a B-movie. shortcut key to detach a tab in firefox (move tab to new window) In FF, I can move a tab to a new window by either dragging the tab out of the browser, or right clicking the "move to New window" option from the context menu. is there a shortcut key to move the current tab to a new window without dragging or using the context menu, or a way to set one up?  Often, I like to look at 2 tabs side by side, so I drag one out, then hit WINDOWS KEY+→ to put the detached tab on the right, then ALT+TAB to tab back to the main window, then WINDOWS KEY+← to put the main window on the left. It would be great if I could do the whole process on the keyboard.  I checked  documentation and did not find any shortcut key for detaching a tab: Java Server Socket not connecting What canon evidence is there that Stormtroopers are/are not still clones? Reading this article about , my nerd-rage started flaring as they claimed that Stormtroopers were still Fett-Clones 20 years after the rise of the Empire.  As I started thinking about it, I realized that everything I had read saying that Modern-Day Stormtroopers not being clones was from the EU - C Level books or games.   One of the quotes often cited for backing the idea that the Stormtroopers are clones comes from Princess Leia:     Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?   But through the movie, paying close attention, Stormtroopers are often shown to be slightly different heights. One even hits his head in the doorway while others walk through uninjured.                                  Is there any G Canon fully canon (non-Legends/Infinities) evidence to support the idea that Stormtroopers are, or are not still clones at the time of Episode IV?
