Elastic_vector_not_shown_in_source

Recently, I was working on migrating our Elasticsearch cluster to <a href="https://www.elastic.co/docs/deploy-manage/deploy/elastic-cloud/serverless" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">serverless</a>. We have an index where some field stores dense vectors used in KNN search.

Elasticsearch Dynamic Mapping Pitfalls

In Elasticsearch, when you index document to an index, if you do not specify the mapping for the field, Elastic will use <a href="https://www.elastic.co/docs/manage-data/data-store/mapping/dynamic-field-mapping" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">dynamic mapping</a> to infer the data type for your field.

Manage uv.lock file with Renovate

In our work, we are using <a href="https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">renovate</a> to update the dependency packages for Python projects. Previously when we are using good old pip and <code>requirements.txt</code> for package management, renovate works fine since it only needs to update the package version in <code>requirements.txt</code>. We switch to <a href="https://docs.astral.sh/uv/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">uv</a> this year as our project management tool. Since uv uses <code>pyproject.toml</code> and <code>uv.lock</code> (lockfile) to ensure reproducible project setup, we have an issue that when renovate bot creates a PR for the package updates: it only changes <code>pyproject.toml</code> without updating <code>uv.lock</code>.

Pre-commit Setup for Your Project

We have a Python project where there are several developers, and we have a mature CI pipeline to do code linting, formatting check for python, yaml, json, and testing etc. The problem with CI pipeline is that you can only get feedback after you commit your code and push to the remote repo. The feedback is not instant and may be delayed for several minutes. If there are some linting issues, you then need to fix the issue and make another commit. This is also making the PR history messy.

I read the nvim v0.12 release note so you don't have to

A major Neovim release (version 0.12) has been released a few days ago, after more than one year from the last major release (version 0.11). The following is a list of feature I am interested. For a complete set of features, check <a href="https://github.com/neovim/neovim/commit/fc7e5cf6c93fef08effc183087a2c8cc9bf0d75a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">full changelog</a> and <a href="https://neovim.io/doc/user/news-0.12/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">news</a>. <h2 class="relative group">builtin package manager <code>vim.pack</code> <div id="builtin-package-manager-vimpack" class="anchor"></div> <a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#builtin-package-manager-vimpack" aria-label="Anchor">#</a> </h2> Now you can use the builtin <code>vim.pack</code> API to manage your plugins.

Migrate Python Project from Pip to Uv

Previously, our projects are still using the old Python 3.10, which will be <a href="https://devguide.python.org/versions/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">deprecated soon this year</a>. We are also using the good old pip and <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">venv</a> for the project/package management. This is already posing some issues for us: <ul> <li>venv is a pure virtual env tool without the ability to manage python versions (it just picks your local python), so it is hard to enforce the local env of each developer</li> <li>pip’s <code>requirements.txt</code> is not a <a href="https://pydevtools.com/handbook/explanation/what-is-a-lock-file/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">lockfile</a> and thus does not ensure a fully reproducible python environment</li> <li>pip as a package management tool is not performant enough in resolving and installing packages</li> </ul> In order to solve these problems, I took the effort to migrate our project management to <a href="https://docs.astral.sh/uv/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">uv</a>. Here are some of the things that I learned in the process as a first-time uv user.

One pain point, however, is the super annoying trailing white spaces: <ol> <li>black can remove trailing spaces for doc string, code and comment, but it will not touch trailing spaces in, e.g., multi-line strings.</li> </ol>

Python system PATH issues When We Use Pytest

When I try to run <code>pytest</code> locally for a Python project, I noticed that the import in those test scripts may fail if I run <code>pytest</code> in different directories. The import error usually means that your actual code modules is not in the python path, so they can not be imported successfully by your test scripts. This has something to do with how pytest set up the python path when you run it.

Build C++ Project with CMake -- A Simple Example

For small projects, people tend to directly invoke the compiler with the suitable options to build the program. While it is feasible, it is tedious to type those compilation options and flags. For projects with multiple source files and header files, it becomes inefficient to build by hand. On Linux, people may write <a href="http://web.mit.edu/gnu/doc/html/make_2.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Makefile</a> and build with <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/make/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">make</a>. On Windows, people may use Visual Studio for writing and build their project.

A Better Mapping to Leave Insert Mode than jk

Update 2021-01-14: I ended up writing a plugin called <a href="https://github.com/jdhao/better-escape.vim" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">better-escape.vim</a> which aims at solving this issue. A <a href="https://vi.stackexchange.com/q/300/15292" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">very popular insert mode mapping</a> for Neovim/Vim is to map <code>jk</code> or <code>kj</code> or <code>jj</code> to <code><ESC></code> for quicker escaping from the insert mode.

A Beginner's Guide on Creating Your Own Text Objects from Scratch in Neovim/Vim

<img src="https://blog-resource-1257868508.file.myqcloud.com/20191103144006.png"> I have been using <a href="https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">vim-airline</a> to customize my statusline ever since I started using Neovim. It works great. Recently, I started <a href="https://github.com/jdhao/minimal_vim" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">a repo</a> named <code>minimal_vim</code> to create a minimal configuration without external plugins for both Vim and Neovim. During the process, I learned how to build a custom statusline from scratch.

花了差不多两个月时间，于上周看完了《The making of the atomic bomb》(中文名叫<a href="https://book.douban.com/subject/3449736//" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">《原子弹秘史》</a>)，这本书是 1988 年美国普利策非虚构类最佳图书奖获奖作品。整本书很长，上百万字，作者在书中全景式展现了人类第一颗原子弹爆炸的完整历史，把原子物理学、核物理发现，犹太人的历史，原子弹的制造，还有科学家的成长历程，融为一体讲述，考证详实，虽然有大量的历史细节，读起来却很过瘾，一点也不枯燥。

JPEG Image Orientation and Exif

The other day I came across a strange bug during work. My colleagues gave me some photographs taken with a smartphone. On their machines (Windows 7), all the photos were shown correctly in landscape mode.

Have you ever wondered about why <code>dw</code> do not delete <code>w</code> while <code>de</code> will delete the <code>o</code> in <code>hello</code>? It seems that motion <code>e</code> and <code>w</code> are somewhat inconsistent in their behaviours. It turns out that it has something to do with the exclusivity of motions in Vim.

Create Mappings That Take A Count in Neovim

For example, <code>3j</code> moves the cursor 3 lines below the current line and <code>4w</code> will move the cursor four words forward. Usually, the user-defined mappings can not take a count. Even if they can, they will most probably not work the way you expect them to. In this post, I will describe what I have learned to make a fairly complex mapping repeatable with a count.

Reading and Writing Text Files on Windows

If you are using Python 3 on Windows, you may have seen a Unicode decoding error when opening files in UTF-8 format: <blockquote>UnicodeDecodeError: ‘gbk’ codec can’t decode byte 0xaf in position 5: illegal multibyte sequence </blockquote>If you read the same file on Linux or macOS, you will find that this file can be opened without any error. Why is there a difference? It has something to do with the default encoding Python chooses to use on different platforms.

Commonly-used Building Options Explained

On Linux system, if we do not have root priviledge, we can not use package managers to install a package to its default location (usually under <code>/usr</code>). Besides, the packages installed by the package managers are often too old to have the latest features. Or, even if we have root priviledge, we do not want to mess up with the system-wide packages and just want to experiment with a package locally. On these ocassions, we may want to install the package to a custom location.

Server Autologin with Expect

After using several <a href="https://www.slant.co/topics/149/~best-ssh-clients-for-windows" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">ssh clients</a> for connecting to the server, I finally settled for <a href="https://www.cygwin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Cygwin</a> and <a href="https://github.com/mintty/wsltty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Wsltty</a>, which is open-sourced and use the well-known <a href="https://github.com/mintty/mintty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">mintty terminal</a>. But one feature I miss from the SSH tools such as MobaXterm or Xshell is that these tools can save the server IP, port, user name and even password, so that you can log into the server with just a click. With mintty terminal, I have to manually ssh to my server each time, which is tedious and time consuming. Fortunately, I have found the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Expect</a> scripting language which is pretty powerful for this task.

Why not change tmux prefix to be more vim-like?

最近安装了 <a href="https://github.com/neovim/neovim" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Neovim</a>，并且在 HOME 目录下的 <code>.bash_profile</code> 中设置好了 Neovim 可执行程序对应的 PATH 变量。奇怪的是，每次在 SSH 客户端打开一个新的服务器连接 session，登录服务器，进入自己账号以后，位于 <code>.bash_profile</code> 中的 PATH 设置命令没有生效，导致我无法启动安装的 Neovim，每次登录以后，我还必须手动 source 一下 <code>.bash_profile</code> 文件，然后才能使用 nvim 命令，非常让人恼火。本文记录我排查问题的过程以及最终的解决方案。

How To Put Legend outside of Axes Properly in Matplotlib?

For example, we may want to put the legend outside of the axes, which is impossible using <code>loc='best'</code>.

How to Resize, Pad Image to Square Shape and Keep Its Aspect Ratio in Python

When we are using convolutional neural networks, most of the time, we need to fix the input image size to feed it to the network. The usual practice is to resize the input image to the given size (the image aspect ratio is no longer kept) and then crop a fixed size patch randomly from the resized image. This practice may work well for image classification where fine details may not be necessary. But for Image retrieval, we want to keep the image aspect ration unchanged. In this post, I will summarize ways to resize an image to square shape with padding and keep its aspect ratio.

关于「尊严」

前一段时间和一个同学谈到了尊严，就用 A 来表示吧。A 认为人在弱小的时候，谈不上尊严，你只有放弃自己的尊严，才能活下来，强者才有尊严，或者说强者的尊严比弱者多。A 的话，让我想到了"弱肉强食"这个词：如果你弱小，那么不要谈尊严，你只是别人盘里的菜而已，尊严对你来说太奢侈了。

关于神经网络优化的一些思考

优化的方法有很多种，在深度学习中，占有绝对主导地位的还是 stochastic gradient optimization (简称 SGD) 以及它的一些变种，如 SGD with momentum，Adam 等。 SGD 是一种基于一阶梯度信息的优化方法，仅从优化的速度上来讲，效率不是最高的，一些利用二阶信息的优化方法，理论上优化速度更快，但是，SGD 反而是在深度学习的优化中使用的最多的优化方法，为什么其他类型的优化方法在深度学习中不经常使用呢？它们相比 SGD 有什么缺点？或者说 SGD 有什么优点呢？这篇文章试图对这个问题给出自己的思考与总结。

关于孩子

坐火车回北京，我坐在过道边，过道另一边是一个老人家带着她的孙子，小孩子约一岁，能说模糊不清的字。小孩子一路上都在吵吵闹闹，一刻不停歇，写作此文时候的举动是把前面座位上贴的布给扯掉，扔在地上，他的奶奶似乎无动于衷，也不批评，也不行动，过了一会儿，打扫卫生的人员过来了，把布捡起来，又贴在了原位置。小孩子仍然不满足，继续进行他的游戏，又把布扯掉扔在地上，奶奶似乎也有点不满意了，把布捡起来粘在了原处，然后小孩和他的奶奶重复这个回合若干次，奶奶并未对孩子讲这样做有什么不对，只是寄希望于小孩别再拽掉那块可怜的布了。

想起了一个很好笑的笑话，有人在网上提问：“老婆怀孕了，但是隔壁邻居家里有wifi，我该怎么办，在线等，急！”有人回答：“送邻居一个仙人掌，能防wifi。”生活中，你也经常听到有人对你说，新买的手机必须完全放电，然后才能充满电，必须重复这样几次；还有人对你说，手机电池必须用到快没有电再去充电才行，否则会损伤电池。

神经网络中误差反向传播(back propagation)算法的工作原理

神经网络，从大学时期就听说过，后面上课的时候老师也讲过，但是感觉从来没有真正掌握，总是似是而非，比较模糊，好像懂，其实并不懂。 为了搞懂神经网络的运行原理，有必要搞清楚神经网络最核心的算法，也就是<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backpropagation">误差反向传播算法</a>的工作原理，本文以最简单的全连接神经网络为例，介绍误差反向传播算法的原理。

LaTeX 中参考文献管理以及注意事项

LaTeX 写作中，参考文献一般单独放在一个 <code>*.bib</code> 文件中，每个文章对应该文件的一个条目，每个文章有一个独一无二的 Key，在文章中使用 key 来引用对应的文章。 <code>bibtex</code> 可以根据 <code>*.bib</code> 文件产生 LaTeX 可以识别的引用条目，然后我们才可以在 LaTeX 中引用相关的文献。本文主要写一些和文献管理以及引用相关的注意事项。

有所恃的与无所恃的

有一句俗话说“两鸟在林不如一鸟在手”，讲的是抓在手里的东西才会让人踏实，如果手里什么也没有，所谓“无所恃”，大多数人就会变的着急，会恐慌；还有一句相对的话叫“恃宠而骄”，范围过于狭窄，应该叫“恃物而骄”，马克思主义哲学的物质观告诉我们，世界是物质的，物质具有客观实在性，因此这物就是广义的了，财富，权力，荣誉……这句话说的是人一旦有所恃，除却个别精神十分平淡的人，其余的人都会有“飘飘乎”而不知自省的状态。

当你在玩《三国杀》，你在玩些什么？

我了解《三国杀》这个游戏，还是刚升入大学那会儿，那时我们和隔壁宿舍已有几位熟悉玩法的爱好者。大一初始，隔壁宿舍就是他们厮杀的战场，经常是几个人一玩到深夜。我那时对这个游戏虽有兴趣但又觉得规则、技能太多，难于记忆，便没玩，所以当他们玩的正酣时，我却在宿舍睡觉呢。

自嘲与自省

有时候觉得自己对人生的许多道理都懂了，给别人讲的时候都是很有气势，自己遇到了呢？人生中的有些事是不是真的别去想就好了？恐怕不是吧，不去想一些事有时是自信不足的表现，想要像鸵鸟一样把自己蒙蔽起来，不去想，不去看，问题就没了？当然不会的。有时候很害怕去解剖自己，这带来的一个后果就是在意旁人的看法，好像还没有那么强大，可以完全只注意自己的内心，就譬如别人说你很强大或者不行，你就真的是那样了？你会在意别人的看法么？甚至你会不会自嘲一下自己，把自己贬的体无完肤，但是内心确是无比的清醒，知道自己的位置，毫不迷糊茫然？

No Sane Person Will Ever Do That -- 关于大学傻逼的查寝

来到大学，一年多了，的确看到了许多同学因失去了高中时的严加束缚而整日放浪形骸，好多同学由于玩游戏、不上课导致挂科、重修。可能正是因为辅导员老师经历了许多类似的事，因此才制定了「查寝」的政策，完全可以理解辅导员老师的一片苦心，希望信息院的孩子都能努力学习嘛。刚开始我对此是不屑一顾的，因为我自己肯定是不会躲在宿舍打游戏的，何况我没有电脑。没有自行车，要去新校区，得走二十分钟，好浪费时间；去三教吧，人又那么多，人挤人的学习氛围给人不舒服的心情，所以我就选择了在宿舍自习。在宿舍，一个人，打开一盏台灯，倒一杯开水，氤氲的水汽，给人温馨的感觉。有多少个夜晚，在这样宁静的空间里，静静地思考，累了就听一首歌，或者到阳台上眺望一下校区的夜景，多么理想的自习之地。上个学期，我一直在宿舍自习，期间当然遇到了好多查寝的同学，我也记不清被查到了多少次，那时的我一直是问心无愧的，我只是在宿舍学习而已，有错吗？

欣赏奇妙的世界2

人的心理真是太微妙了，这是我这些天一直在考虑的问题。在两个人的交往中就可以窥见这种微妙，起初两个人并不熟识，然后突然有一天你很有兴趣跟某个人说话，这种愿望好象是闯入脑子里的，没有任何征兆。回忆一下和你认识的人的交往，其发端似乎都很微小，以致于我难以想起为什么两个人彼此认识了。

科学家是怎么样炼成的？

欣赏奇妙的世界

几天，我在操场上跑步时，不知不觉想到了世界的和谐与奇妙。这个世界如很多人所说，由于技术——无线通讯，互联网——的联通而变小了，但这个世界其实还是很宏大的。想想我们所生活的地球，这个地球上有多少人啊，每个人都在创造属于自己的生活。每一天每个人就那样生活，生活在自己的圈中，而自己或许并未认识到。

关于哭
