Suppose you had \$5K to spend on a computer that was to be devoted to computation-intensive Mathematica-based explorations. What features would you look for? Is there a particular computer you'd recommend? Extra credit if the recommended machine...
Just as an FYI, the default partition size for these two routines is 2^(Round[Log[2,Length[list]]]+1) rather than 2^Round[Log[2,Length[list]]]+1 as stated in the docs. The default step size is any number between...
For those following this exciting saga, a little additional investigation suggests that 1) padding is being applied even when Padding is set to 0, 2) pre-emphasis is also being applied but the parameter doesn't seem to be the standard 0.97, 3) the...
With reiterated thanks to Henrik for his code, I find that one must be careful with ImagePartition as the application of a function to the parts may result in an assembled image that is different than applying the function to the whole...
How do I stop Mathematica 10 from nagging me about updates? The following message keeps popping up in the error window even after I've turned off automatic updates and disallowed Internet connectivity: The Wolfram System cannot install paclet...
Folks have been so helpful, let me try another. Shouldn't the following produce a blank page (all black or all white, depending on your parity preference): tmp = Import["tmp.jpg"]; tmp = Binarize[tmp]; tmp = DeleteSmallComponents[tmp,...
