The numpy.sign() function returns a result between -1 and 1 which was not useful in my case…
To limit the outcomes in the range of 0 and 1 you could still use the numpy.sign() function and write it as follows:
(0.5 * (np.sign(var) + 1))

There are several reasons this problem could be caused. In my case, running Yosemite 10.10, Photo Booth had a black screen and the menu was saying “no camera connected” although FaceTime worked fine.
The common sudo killall VDCAssistant solution didn’t work at all, as well as, reseting my NVRAM.
After a lot of debugging and trial and error, I found out that the problem originated from the fact that I used Dropbox and had created a symbolic link in the place of the ~/Pictures folder.
The solution is to open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist with Xcode and change the link of ~/Pictures/Photo Booth Library to the absolute path of your new pictures folder.

Using Latex, many times you want to print multiple figures that have similar names like figure_1.pdf, figure_2.pdf etc…
Instead of hardcoding everything, the foreach package saves lives!
More specifically, you can write something like this:
\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\foreach \n in {1,3,5,10,20}{
\begin{subfigure}{.18\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figs/question_9_\n}
\subcaption{\n Trees}
\end{subfigure}
}
\caption{RF various number of trees evaluation.}

The last few years I have been using Gmail’s priority inbox.
There have been several times that I want to clean my read messages that are not stared.
Gmail doesn’t provide a direct feature to remove more than 50. So…
You can go to search and type this: is:read -label:starred
Then click on the Select – All tick box under the search bar, and a new option Select All pages will appear
click on that too.
Finally, click on the Archive button. 🙂
How to restore privacy:
Disable “Spotlight Suggestions” and “Bing Web Searches” in System Preferences > Spotlight > Search Results.
Safari also has a “Spotlight Suggestions” setting that is separate from Spotlight’s “Spotlight Suggestions”. This uses the same mechanism as Spotlight, and if left enabled, Safari will send a copy of all search queries to Apple.
You’d be forgiven for thinking that you’d already disabled “Spotlight Suggestions”, but you’ll also need to uncheck “Include Spotlight Suggestions” in Safari > Preferences > Search.
Advanced users can download the python script: fix-macosx.py to take care of the changes. (first install pyobjc using pip: pip install PyObjC)

Most of the new devices are now forced to install Facebook Messenger.
FB Messenger is the most unfriendly app I have used as you cannot disable it and also I don’t want to be available for everybody all time…
In order to keep the good old messages that you could open whenever you wanted or at least had the choice you can follow the steps:
1) Uninstall official FB Messenger (yeah it feels nice!)
2) Go to Settings -> Security and enable “Unknown sources”
3) We will trick the FB app check by using a dummy app with the same name “com.facebook.orca” but with nothing inside!
4) Download http://blog.ic3man.gr/Facebook.Messenger.Deactivator.apk
( 4.optional You can also compile it yourself from https://github.com/iassael/facebook-messenger-deactivator )
5) Install it! Tada! Now you can be peaceful and notificationless again…

After spending a whole night getting the 80072f8f and trying all the amazing Microsoft tutorials and diagnostics finally I found a solution.
First of all, I didn’t have a problem with time (of course) nor SSL certs and such stuff. The problem was clearly the permissions of some dirs, and affected both most of my Metro apps and Windows Update. (this meant less restarts for updates for a month and its not that bad)
The problem can be solved easily by just downloading the amazing Tweaking.com Windows Repair (all in one)
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html
Just download the application click on all checkboxes and let it run for 3 hours, reboot and you are ready 🙂

Getting a Nook SimpleTouch I had to enable the android option Unknown Sources via adb shell… so first connect with usb and make sure adb debugging is on…
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
sqlite3 /path_to_your_folder/settings.db
update secure set value=”1″ where name=”install_non_market_apps”;
.quit
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
After installing 10.10 DP1 Yosemite (yeah I couldn’t resist the temptation) homebrew gave me the following error:
/usr/local/bin/brew: /usr/local/Library/brew.rb: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
This error can easily be fixed in the following steps:
1) Open terminal
2) nano /usr/local/Library/brew.rb
3) In the first line change “1.8” to “Current”, so it should look like this:
#!/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/Current/usr/bin/ruby -W0
Cheers~
