= Geographic Searches With Postgres's Earthdistance and Cube Extensions

This program shows how to easily create a Postgres database that uses the Cube
and Earthdistance extensions to perform fast queries on geographic data.

Briefly, the problem this code solves is "show me all places within 50
kilometers of New York City."

// NOTE: I added the .js extension to this gist so it would have syntax highlighting. This file should have NO file extension

    "passfail"      : false,  // Stop on first error.
    "maxerr"        : 100,    // Maximum error before stopping.


    // Predefined globals whom JSHint will ignore.
    "browser"       : true,   // Standard browser globals e.g. `window`, `document`.

When JSLint hurts your feelings, hug it out with Doug.

0. There are some situations that are difficult to distinguish mechanically, so I now consider all of those cases problematic, even when they are not obviously wrong.
1. You should be coding for readability and error resistance.
2. The place to express yourself in programming is in the quality of your ideas, and the efficiency of execution. The role of style is the same as in literature. A great writer doesn't express himself by putting the spaces before his commas instead of after, or by putting extra spaces inside his parentheses.
3. Many people think they have good reasons for doing things badly.
4. [The purpose of JSLint is not to make you feel good about inadequate coding standards.](http://tech.groups.y

Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"
