I'm working with an image processing tool in Matlab. How can I convert Matlab code to Objective-C?
Here are some of the tasks I want to do:
I want to rotate an oblique line to normal.
I have algorıthm that converts an colored image to black & white. (How can I access pixel color values in ...

so the question du jour is this: What is the stance on user settings being maintained in localstorage ala the login information? IE: I choose a style of edit-review, I want to stay in that style of edit-review in the future. Note: I'm not indicating that I want to have a facebook style page of checkboxes, but just little UI tweaks. Does this become a MSO question?
My guess on why Quora is 'on every VC's radar in the Q&A field'...
Have a look at the Quora About page and then have a look at the SO About page and see what's missing.
Notice anything?

honestly, I would pay a buck (or whatever your currency is) for a pound of rice, spill it on a white (or whatever) surface, and just take a photo of it
@TimStone Yes, and they allow you take shoplift them, as long as you tell everyone that you did, and you allow other people to steal it from you as well.
One person randomly moved the accepted checkmark from my answer to their answer, even though we both posted the answers back in July, then another user got deleted for some reason. :P
Most of the metrics for evaluating "mod-ness" of a non-mod seem insufficient; you don't do the same things when you're a mod, by definition. People that like editing and like the 10k tools will probably be good mods, but that's mostly because they're the same types of activities. Answering lots of questions is pretty much useless, other than that it means you're on the site a lot. Chat I think is even more useless; I'm not sure how that made it on the list at all
@TimStone Heh... Just being a dedicated MS shop will get you more than half-way there: [c#], [.net], [asp.net], [sql-server], [wpf], [asp.net-mvc], [windows], [vb.net], [visual-studio], [winforms], [silverlight], [wcf], [linq]
@mootinator Fanatic probably makes more sense than the chat badges, since it's certainly more important that you be on the site a lot than that you be on chat a lot. Probably if you're on chat you're on the site though
I was just remarking about the two things you linked, in a way that was probably unrelated to what you were suggesting about chat being something important for a mod.
Frankly, there are only two stats I care much about: questions closed, and questions re-opened. Any candidate who doesn't have a number in both should just pack it up; any candidate who doesn't have a triple-digit number in the former should be looked at with suspicion.
@MichaelMrozek Yeah, at times I wish that the entire stack of Linux was written in Python (or something interpreted), so that there'd be no difference between configuring an app and changing it. Get in, edit the line, get out.
I'll start using Linux more when I can figure out how to connect to the Internet with a Linux box. The problems aren't Linux's fault; there just aren't drivers for the apparently out-in-left-field wireless card I had.
I switched completely when the harddrive Windows was on died. Spent probably a week configuring everything... and then it pretty much just worked for the next couple years. I was sooo irritated when I had to start using Windows again.
Linux's little timesaver I love the most is how GNOME loves the scrollbar. Every time I am on Window and I try to change tabs with my scrollwheel I want to reboot.
oh, and the Italian extended keyboard layout ( omg, now I can type a tilde! ), going back was frustrating enough that I had to print Ubuntu's one out, take the keymap editor and recreate it.
@MichaelMyers protip: if the only name you've ever heard for me is "drachenstern" then you're probably going to try and help me as "drachenstern" and not "cole"
@MichaelMrozek You base the most fundamental parts of your identity based on what people think about you on IRC? I think you may want to rethink that...
And if you say "@user s,oldText,newText," that means "hey i think you have a typo there!".and if the user fixes the typo your message automatically is removed again
I am using sessions all throughout my application. I want to make them much more secure. Currently I am only using $username = $_SESSION['username']; and others.
How do I do that. thanks. any tips or idea appreciated.
I watch my wife and her friends in chat, and while they could go back and correct the messages (this is on skype) they just correct on the next line after they realize it and go on
they never edit an old message once they've submitted it
So you're talking about a core piece of architecture for about 0.02% of the population.
@drachenstern No, but in general, many Chat services don't allow for corrections. It's habit that we use the "*correction" convention. People pick it up from others.

Hi the search box returns the tag is not found after you do a query while it is actually set?
Is it something wrong? Or I using it wrongly?
