I faced this problem. I think others like myself might have or will have as well. This feeling of loneliness after you immigrate to a new land. This is of course defeated by befriending coworkers or dating-app afficionados but what if you worked in one continent and also immigrated to another? Loneliness.

The immigrant doesnt have a choice. Its either, stay in a 3rd world country where the people are becoming more and more violent towards secularism and rejecting the very notion of tolerance for a religious one or just plain greed and ignorance combined with a lack of self-reflection. The decreasing quality in life make it hard for the individuals to achieve their future goals. Even a simple thing as starting a family is increasingly hard unless youve a moderately wealthy family in an everdecreasing economy and un-appreciated skilled worker economy.

Stay and change the system? What if...

its becoming less common to call a person because the overhead of calling is far longer than texting. This is nice and good if you have nothing better to do than talk to a black box all day but Id rather meet up in person or text than do this charade.

heres a sample break-up of an average phone call.

• Greeting
• ack greeting
• how are you
• ack how are you
• what are you doing (optional)
• comment regarding previous inquiry (optional)
• ack what are you doing (optional)
• comment regarding previous inquiry (optional)
• subject matter
• reply
• discussion
• closing remarks
• unexpected topic
• closing remarks
• end

whereas a text:

• greeting
• subject matter

This is because one is happening in realtime and the other is a scheduled job and with a scheduled job you can include the subject matter without the overhead of societal niceties or keep them to a minimum.

It should be noted that a text, if done in...

Its pretty easy to install openCV to your machine or vagrant box but its not as easy to install onto your virtualenv without brew. I enjoy brew, it has helped me tremendously and I’ve nothing against it. But I also like to have control over what I compile and where I place it.

Tested on :

• Yosemite
• El Capitan

 Setup

1. Install pip, virtualenv and activate the current environment as that new env;

   $ sudo easy_install pip
   $ pip install virtualenv
   $ virtualenv env
   $ source env/bin/activate
   

   throughout this post dont deactivate your virtual env

   Install numpy dependency

   (env)$ pip install numpy
   

2. Download opencv here and unzip it. For this tutorial this is v3.0.0.

   (env)$ cd /path/to/your/opencv-3.0.0
   (env)$ mkdir release
   (env)$ cd release
   (env)$ cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$VIRTUAL_ENV -D PYTHON2_PACKAGES_PATH=$VIRTUAL_ENV/lib/python2.7/site-packages -D

They’re guidelines,

Waste your own goddamn time,

Corporate masturbation.

Connecting your logitech K810 bluetooth keyboard to your ubuntu PC and persistently retain the connection is a cumbersome process. This method automates the repairing of the K810.

 Installation

You should first make sure hidd is installed. Its deprecated but worked best for me. I then checked it with blueman because the default bluetooth manager did not help me at all.

sudo apt-get install bluez-compat blueman

Acquire the keyboard and keyboard.sh files from

https://github.com/sinanm89/bluetooth-keyboard-connect

Edit keyboard.sh so your bluetooth mac address is filled in and place the files as /etc/keyboard.sh and /etc/init.d/keyboard and make them executable.

sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/keyboard /etc/keyboard.sh

If you want to connect manually then just;

sudo /etc/keyboard.sh

Thats it. Next time you reboot you should be able to connect the keyboard if the keyboard is in...
