Installing Julia in CentOS

Julia

Programming language

Julia is a high-level dynamic programming language designed to address the requirements of high-performance numerical and scientific computing while also being effective for general purpose programming. Wikipedia

I am getting my hands dirty installing JULIA. After spending more than 4 hours, I have finally installed JULIA on my CentOS 32 bit OS.

The steps are as follows:

1) Install Github

2) Installing Dependencies

3) Install JULIA

5) Build JULIA using the make command.

Basic Steps:

yum install git

git clone git://github.com/JuliaLang/julia.git

Cd Julia/

Make –C deps getall

Su root

Yum install gcc-gfortran

yum -y install java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 libXp openmotif openmotif22 python.x86_64 numpy* ncurses-devel gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake

yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"

make

./julia

Food Anyone

Well i admit it i splurge once a while. After splurging i keep promising myself i wont do it again. Some perks of living alone are that you you can eat what ever hell you like. Unlike most of the people i dislike a lot of things. (HATE is a strong word!! I wont use it :p).
a) CURD
b) MILK
c) KAREALA
d) BUTTER
f) ONIONS
g) SPICY STUFF
h) OILY STUFF
my list goes on......
I recently went to BBQ NATION. There was more than 40 kinds of things to eat. All i did was nibble here and nibble there. Horrible experience. Most of the stuff was either one of the things listed above or NON - VEG.

All told i regret paying them 800 Rs. ....

Hive Metastore

The metastore is the central repository of Hive metadata. The metastore is divided into two pieces: a service and the backing store for the data. By default, the metastore service runs in the same JVM as the Hive service and contains an embedded Derby database instance backed by the local disk. This is called the embedded metastore configuration.

In Hive Insert statement is used to populate data.

We can load data to the table from local disk or HDFS.

Teaching Children

I have always been inspired by children. Every time i see a child, i see a ray of hope. If my present sucks, i can work harder to make sure kids get better future. Well in fact this is what every parent wants. Some thing is very wrong in our system. Children are being robbed of their innocence and are stressed out. I have recently started taking youth courses for Juvenile Kids. They are no different then other kids.
Today was my first day.
While packing up one of the kids i had never spoken to helped me pack my yoga mat. I was touched by his gesture. They asked me if i would come back again to teach them yoga the next day. :) :)
On weekdays i go for an hour to teach theses kids yoga.
