X Session from Mac

- by tekknolagi

How can I log into an X server from Mac OS X? I know that ssh -X username@host will log me in and I will have the capability to run X applications. On Cygwin/X you can log in and have a whole X session from your computer... and it will look something like this: How can I replicate this? Using this batch script: @echo off SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 SET REMOTE_HOST=%1 IF "%REMOTE_HOST%" == "" SET REMOTE_HOST=10.0.0.1 SET CYGWIN_ROOT=\cygwin SET RUN=%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin\run -p /usr/bin SET PATH=.;%CYGWIN_ROOT%\bin;%PATH% SET XAPPLRESDIR= SET XCMSDB= SET XKEYSYMDB= SET XNLSPATH= if not exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 goto CLEANUP-FINISH attrib -s %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 del %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix\X0 :CLEANUP-FINISH if exist %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix rmdir %CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp\.X11-unix if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" goto OS_NT echo startxdmcp.bat - Starting on Windows 95/98/Me goto STARTUP :OS_NT REM Windows NT/2000/XP echo startxdmcp.bat - Starting on Windows NT/2000/XP :STARTUP %RUN% XWin -query tekknolagi.dyndns.org -clipboard -lesspointer -scrollbars -screen 0 1050x1655@2 -screen 1 1680x985@1

(Arch)Linux board with dual ethernet

- by tekknolagi

I am looking for a Linux board with the following requirements: 2 ethernet ports (helpful, but only 1 required) 2 USB ports SDXC support (for SD/MicroSD) WiFi (25 concurrent users ideally) HDMI or micro HDMI out I don't know of a good way to find boards. I went through and catalogued a bunch in a spreadsheet, though: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZyWvg1u5jAeCq4ghpQv3fukl78nYO64utfQgzTP1r7w/edit?usp=sharing

python - sys.argv and flag identification

- by tekknolagi

when I accept arguments how do I check if two show up at the same time without having a compound conditional i.e. #!/usr/bin/python import random, string import mymodule import sys z = ' '.join(sys.argv[2:]) q = ''.join(sys.argv[3:]) a = ''.join(sys.argv[2:]) s = ' '.join(sys.argv[1:]) flags = sys.argv[1:5] commands = [["-r", "reverse string passed next with no quotes needed."], ["-j", "joins arguments passed into string. no quotes needed."], ["--palindrome", "tests whether arguments passed are palindrome or not. collective."],["--rand","passes random string of 10 digits/letters"]] try: if "-r" in flags: if "-j" in flags: print mymodule.reverse(q) if not "-j" in flags: print mymodule.reverse(z) if "-j" in flags: if not "-r" in flags: print a if "--palindrome" in flags: mymodule.ispalindrome(z) if (not "-r" or not "-j" or not "--palindrome") in flags: mymodule.say(s) if "--rand" in flags: print(''.join([random.choice(string.ascii_letters+"123456789") for f in range(10)])) if not sys.argv[1]: print mymodule.no_arg_error if "--help" in flags: print commands except: print mymodule.no_arg_error i just want to be able to say if "-r" and "-j" in flags in no particular order: do whatever

python - remove string from words in an array

- by tekknolagi

#!/usr/bin/python #this looks for words in dictionary that begin with 'in' and the suffix is a real word wordlist = [line.strip() for line in open('/usr/share/dict/words')] newlist = [] for word in wordlist: if word.startswith("in"): newlist.append(word) for word in newlist: word = word.split('in') print newlist how would I get the program to remove the string "in" from all the words that it starts with? right now it does not work

python and palindromes

- by tekknolagi

i recently wrote a method to cycle through /usr/share/dict/words and return a list of palindromes using my ispalindrome(x) method here's some of the code...what's wrong with it? it just stalls for 10 minutes and then returns a list of all the words in the file def reverse(a): return a[::-1] def ispalindrome(a): b = reverse(a) if b.lower() == a.lower(): return True else: return False wl = open('/usr/share/dict/words', 'r') wordlist = wl.readlines() wl.close() for x in wordlist: if not ispalindrome(x): wordlist.remove(x) print wordlist

python - returns incorrect positive #

- by tekknolagi

what i'm trying to do is write a quadratic equation solver but when the solution should be -1, as in quadratic(2, 4, 2) it returns 1 what am i doing wrong? #!/usr/bin/python import math def quadratic(a, b, c): #a = raw_input("What\'s your `a` value?\t") #b = raw_input("What\'s your `b` value?\t") #c = raw_input("What\'s your `c` value?\t") a, b, c = float(a), float(b), float(c) disc = (b*b)-(4*a*c) print "Discriminant is:\n" + str(disc) if disc = 0: root = math.sqrt(disc) top1 = b + root top2 = b - root sol1 = top1/(2*a) sol2 = top2/(2*a) if sol1 != sol2: print "Solution 1:\n" + str(sol1) + "\nSolution 2:\n" + str(sol2) if sol1 == sol2: print "One solution:\n" + str(sol1) else: print "No solution!" EDIT: it returns the following... import mathmodules mathmodules.quadratic(2, 4, 2) Discriminant is: 0.0 One solution: 1.0

python -> combinations of numbers and letters

- by tekknolagi

#!/usr/bin/python import random lower_a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z'] upper_a = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K', 'L', 'M', 'N', 'O', 'P', 'Q', 'R', 'S', 'T', 'U', 'V', 'W', 'X', 'Y', 'Z'] num = ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9'] all = [] all = " ".join("".join(lower_a) + "".join(upper_a) + "".join(num)) all = all.split() x = 1 c = 1 while x < 10: y = [] for i in range(c): a = random.choice(all) y.append(a) print "".join(y) x += 1 c += 1 what i have now outputs something like the following: 5 hE HAy 1kgy Pt6JM 2pFuCb Jv5osaX 5q8PwWAO SvHWRKfI5 how can i make it systematically go through every combination of letters (upper and lowercase) for a given length, then add 1 to that length and repeat the process?
