杂记 | Misc Notes

1.gnome-shell 默认按一下winkey会出main menu, 这问题不大，但是其他我设的winkey+..的快捷键很多不能用了。比如f和空格都不行，但是t可以，很诡异。 解决办法是
system settings -> region and language -> layouts -> options -> alt/win key behaior -> meta is mapped to win keys

2.python的urllib记得是直接直接支持https的，但是不能验证证书（据说以后会实现的）。于是我找到了m2cypto这个模块，里面包装了urllib，证书有问题时会抛异常，但是证书没问题时会卡死。。。后来想了想，还是调用wget比较靠谱

3.gnome 3的控制面板里找不到startup applications了，但是可以直接运行gnome-session-properties

4.maximus：一个小软件，可以去掉最大化窗口的标题栏，配合gnome shell很不错。

5./usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/dateMenu.js还有panel.js可以对gnome shell顶部条进行hack，比如我把Activities改了名，自定义了时钟格式，去掉了accessibility图标。


1. By deault press the winkey once in gnome-shell will call up the main menu, this is not a big problem, but some shortcuts 'winkey + somekey' I set are not functional. For example 'f' and 'space' do not work, however 't' works, weird. To solve it:
system settings -> region and language -> layouts -> options -> alt/win key behaior -> meta is mapped to win keys

2. The urllib in python support https links, but it does not validate the certificates (some say that this will be implemented in the future). So I found the m2cypto module, it wraps urllib, and an exception will be thrown when there is problem with the certificate, however it sometimes went stuck when nothing wrong... Later I realized that it would be good just to call 'wget'

3. I cannot find 'Startup Application' in the gnome control center, but I can still run gnome-session-properties

4. maximus: a small tool that eliminate the title bar of maximized windows, looks quite good with gnome-shell.

5. Through the files /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/dateMenu.js & panel.js we can hack the top bar of gnome shell, for example I renamed 'Activities', customized the datetime format, and removed the accessibility icon.

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

[转] UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux

这几天,这个东西把我搞得很头疼 而且这篇文章好像太大了,blogger自己的发布系统不能发 只好用mail了 //原文 http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux by Markus Kuhn This text is a very comprehensive one-stop information resource on how you can use Unicode/UTF-8 on POSIX systems (Linux, Unix). You will find here both introductory information for every user, as well as detailed references for the experienced developer. Unicode has started to replace ASCII, ISO 8859 and EUC at all levels. It enables users to handle not only practically any script and language used on this planet, it also supports a comprehensive set of mathematical and technical symbols to simplify scientific information exchange. With the UTF-8 encoding, Unicode can be used in a convenient and backwards compatible way in environments that were designed entirely around ASCII, like Unix. UTF-8 is the way in which Unicode is used under Unix, Linux, and similar systems. It is now time to make sure that you are well familiar ...

Moving Items Along Bezier Curves with CSS Animation (Part 2: Time Warp)

This is a follow-up of my earlier article.  I realized that there is another way of achieving the same effect. This article has lots of nice examples and explanations, the basic idea is to make very simple @keyframe rules, usually just a linear movement, then use timing function to distort the time, such that the motion path becomes the desired curve. I'd like to call it the "time warp" hack. Demo See the Pen Interactive cubic Bezier curve + CSS animation by Lu Wang ( @coolwanglu ) on CodePen . How does it work? Recall that a cubic Bezier curve is defined by this formula : \[B(t) = (1-t)^3P_0+3(1-t)^2tP_1+3(1-t)t^2P_2+t^3P_3,\ 0 \le t \le 1.\] In the 2D case, \(B(t)\) has two coordinates, \(x(t)\) and \(y(t)\). Define \(x_i\) to the be x coordinate of \(P_i\), then we have: \[x(t) = (1-t)^3x_0+3(1-t)^2tx_1+3(1-t)t^2x_2+t^3x_3,\ 0 \le t \le 1.\] So, for our animated element, we want to make sure that the x coordiante (i.e. the "left" CSS property) is \(...
