How Much Can You Tell About a Person From a Face Photo?

Somebody thought: "a lot!". Here are my results from www.faceanalyzer.com:

Intelligence	5.0	Average Intelligence
Risk	5.9	Average Risk
Ambition	6.0	Average Ambition
Gay Factor	1.0	Very Low Gay Factor
Honor	3.5	Low Honor
Politeness	3.6	Low Politeness
Intelligence	5.0	Average Intelligence
Income	5.5	$30,000 - $50,000
Sociability	6.9	High Sociability
Promiscuity	4.4	Low Promiscuity

55% Southern European
27% South East Asian
18% Korean/Japanese

Archetype: Charmer

Well :-) I leave the judgement on the others who know me. I wonder what connection has the face with the income? Maybe it depends on the amount of wrinkles and type of smile? Anyway, the software is very good in finding centers of eyes on all photos I've tried. And if you click on other profiles, the celebmatch seems to work well - the software can recognize similarities in faces. So what are your results?

Surrounding Code with Try-Catch Easily

I've just noticed that I didn't blog yet about the new surround with try-catch action which was recently added to 4.2's editor context menu. Let's say you have following code:

import java.io.File;

public class CoffeeMachine {    
    public CoffeeMachine() {
        File f = File.createTempFile("coffee", "tmp");
    }    
}

Now you can select the line with createTempFile and execute surround with try-catch action from editor context menu. You need to surround the method because it throws an exception that should be caught. If you have good memory, you can also use the shortcut which is Ctrl-Alt-S (S as [S]urround). The code you get is:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class CoffeeMachine {    
    public CoffeeMachine() {
        try {
            File f = File.createTempFile("coffee", "tmp");
        } catch (IOException e) {
        }
    }    
}

What has happened? The line which is performing a dangerous IO operation was surrounded by a try-catch block. Notice that the correct import was added into the list of imports as well. Now it's time for you to write code which will handle the case that you could not create the temp file.

Why making fuss of this? I believe that such small features can make real difference if they are intelligent enough and can save you time while writing code. Let's hope for more of these - in 4.2 you'll be able to use a lightbulb hint for this action as well. Time to get more coffee... :-)

P.S. If you will try this functionality and find any bugs, you know where to submit them. Oh sorry, this is the right place.
