Dr Dobbs - Memory Management as a Separate Thread - 0 views

  • Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new approach to software development that will allow common computer programs to run up to 20 percent faster and possibly incorporate new security measures. The researchers have found a way to run different parts of some hard-to-parallelize programs — such as word processors and web browsers — at the same time, which makes the programs operate more efficiently.

Gostai - robotics for everyone - 0 views

  • We are entering the robotic age. All over the world, we see research projects and companies working on realistic, market driven robots, with impressive realizations ranging from intelligent vacuum cleaners to humanoid robots.   This is a very exciting time and some people see in the current situation many common points with the early days of the computer industry. However, like PCs in the early 80's, today's robots are still incompatible in term of software. There is yet no standard way to reuse one component from one robot to the other, which is needed to have a real software industry bootstraping. And most attempts have been failing to provide tools genuinely adapted to the complex need of robot programming.   Here at Gostai, we believe that the industry needs a powerful robotics software platform, ready to face the challenges of Artificial Intelligence and autonomous robots programming.

Tom's Declarative Languages Blog: The Monad Zipper - 0 views

  • Bruno Oliveira and I are working on a functional pearl called The Monad Zipper (*). You know how dealing with monad transformers can be quite awkward -- especially when developing highly modular programs where every component comes with its own effects?Well, we bring relief in this situation by applying Huet's zipper to a type-level data structure: the monad stack.We're submitting to ICFP on April 2, and would greatly appreciate your feedback on the current draft. Please let us know what you think of the presented approach, the clarity and style of writing, examples of situations where you could have used the monad zipper, ...(*) not to be confused with the zipper monad

Don Syme's WebLog on F# and Related Topics : F# 2.0 Released - 0 views

  • Today sees the launch of Visual Studio 2010, at five launch events around the world, as announced by Bob Muglia, Jason Zander and S. Somasegar, and presented live today in Las Vegas.   Visual Studio 2010 includes the official version 2.0 of the F# language. As is our custom on the F# team, we also release a matching MSI and ZIP of F# 2.0 (for use with Visual Studio 2008 and as a standalone compiler on a range of platforms)   Today represents the culmination of 7 years of work on the language at Microsoft Research, and, more recently, the Microsoft Developer Division. I am immensely proud of what we’ve achieved. F# brings a productive functional and object-oriented programming language to .NET, extending the platform to new audiences in technical, algorithmic, data-rich, parallel and explorative domains, and its inclusion in Visual Studio 2010 represents a huge milestone for the language.   To help understand what we’re doing with F#, I’ve listed some of the common questions people have about the language below.  We thank everyone who has been involved in the production of F#, especially the many users who have given us feedback on the language!

Introduction to CRUD Functions in PHP - 0 views

  • Building a dynamic PHP site requires you to understand how CRUD (create, read, update, delete) functions work. There are a variety of ways to implement these functions include databases, and most commonly through mySQL.  With these functions you can add new entries to the database (registration), view existing entries (retrieve users or fields), update the entries to your table or delete users (who may unsubscribe or permanently delete their accounts.) For a user account based sites, these functions are essential for keeping your user and information database up to date.

Xtext - A Language Development Framework | Eclipse Live - 0 views

  • On June 23, the new Xtext version 1.0 will be released as part of Eclipse's annual release train. During the last year Xtext has grown from a tiny DSL editor generator, to a full-blown language development framework. With Xtext 1.0 you can develop complex programming languages and you not only get an advanced editor, but a complete integrated development environment (IDE) based on Eclipse. The new workspace indexer and the builder infrastructure enable sophisticated IDE features, as we will demonstrate in this webinar. The new JVM-types allow you to link to and integrate with any Java element and Eclipse's JDT. During the webinar we will give a short overview on Xtext and how it works behind the scenes. We will demo different aspects of the framework’s features and show how to implement an interpreter for arithmetic expressions. The 60 minutes will be a great opportunity for you to get in touch with the Xtext core committers, ask questions and learn about the new and noteworthy features in version 1.0.

One Div Zero: Why Scala's "Option" and Haskell's "Maybe" types will save you from null - 0 views

  • First, right off the top here: Scala has true blue Java-like null; any reference may be null. Its presence muddies the water quite a bit. But since Beust's article explicitly talks about Haskell he's clearly not talking about that aspect of Scala because Haskell doesn't have null. I'll get back to Scala's null at the end but for now pretend it doesn't exist.Second, just to set the record straight: "Option" has roots in programming languages as far back as ML. Both Haskell's "Maybe" and Scala's "Option" (and F#'s "Option" and others) trace their ancestry to it.

Vale Java? Scala Vala palava - O'Reilly Broadcast - 0 views

  • Dave Megginson (who drove the development of the SAX API that will be familiar to many XML developers who use Java) recently wrote Java is dead. Java stood out as a programming language (though not as a platform) in that Sun had refused to standardize it through an independent and reputable standards organization (a lot of the hard work had been done in one attempt to put it through ECMA and one to put it through ISO, both times Sun pulled out and eventually made their highly unsatisfactory JCP Java Community Process system.) Without the ability to alter Java significantly in ways that might go against their druthers, Java suffered two major forks (Microsoft's J++ then its C#, and IBM's SWT) where significant players disagreed with a major component (the graphics library). Java succeeded in middleware, and but failed to take advantage of the rise of browsers on the deskop: their HTML parser was great for the middle 1990s but was deliberately neglected to the point of being unusable: it is hard not to see this as a deliberate attempt by Sun to leave the browser market to its friends and enemies. I really liked Java, and bet my company on it (in a sense): I would not do that today.

Embedded OS - Java Approach | Your Electronics Open Source - 0 views

  • Usually developers consider Java as a programming language, but Java is a complete operating enviornment including some parts belong to OS. If you have experience of porting Java runtime to embedded system. You will find that RTOS is not a necessary requirement for porting Java.

robots.net - Willow Garage PR2 Robots Hit the Market - 0 views

  • When we first reported on the Willow Garage PR2 robot, it was just a prototype. Earlier this year, Willow Garage started their beta program, which gave eleven lucky organizations two year access to PR2 robots in exchange for furthering work on open source robotics software. Now we've received word from Willow Garage that the PR2 is officially for sale to anyone who wants it. This is not a toy or hobby robot, of course, so don't expect a small price tag. The full retail price is $400,000 per unit. However, if your organization can demonstrate a proven track record in developing open source software and making contributions to the robotics community, you can get a hefty $120,000 discount on your PR2. For more see our previous stories on Willow Garage and the PR2.

Functional C#: LINQ vs Method chaining at Mark Needham - 0 views

  • One of the common discussions that I've had with several colleagues when we're making use of some of the higher order functions that can be applied on collections is whether to use the LINQ style syntax or to chain the different methods together. I tend to prefer the latter approach although when asked the question after my talk at Developer Developer Developer I didn't really have a good answer other than to suggest that it seemed to just be a personal preference thing. Damian Marshall suggested that he preferred the method chaining approach because it more clearly describes the idea of passing a collection through a pipeline where we can apply different operations to that collection.

Five Tips for Improving IntelliJ IDEA Performance | geek listed - 0 views

shared by Aasemoon =) on 02 Jan 10 - Cached
  •  
    Since I totally luv IDEA...... "We use JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Java IDE and love its features, functionality, and price point. Dealing with its performance is another matter, however. When developing Seam 2.x applications, IDEA can just crawl - and this is when sticking to just one project or SVN branch at a time. Some of the biggest performance hits our team has noticed are: 1. File indexing on IDEA startup 2. Long code completion times when editing XHTML/JSF files 3. Pauses when switching from one Java or XHTML file to another 4. Calls to Ant targets can drag on forever for no apparent reason while others time they are tidy and fast Here is a collection of ideas on how to improve the performance of IDEA; note that not all of these will be applicable to your environment or application. For example, we wouldn't consider turning off local history options as this is invaluable. 1. If you're not using Subversion or other version control system, turn off synchronized files. This can be disabled from the Settings -> General, and disabling "Synchronize Files on Frame Activation". 2. Revert to IDEA's original visual interface. Browse to Settings -> Appearance and select the "IDEA 4.5 Default" theme. 3. Decrease the size of local history of code changes. Even if you find this feature invaluable, you can still improve performance of IDEA by reducing the number of days of local history IDEA will store. By default this option is set to three days! 4. Disable unused plugins. You mean you're not developing GWT apps and you're not working with JetGroovy? Great, then why not disable some of those plugins? 5. Increase the IDEA Java VM heap size. I can attest to this offering much improved performance; if you can spare the memory, follow these directions: 1. locate your Program Files/JetBrains/IDEA x.x/bin directory 2. open idea.exe.vmoptions 3. modify Xms, Xmx, and XX:MaxPermSize settings as needed"

Develop Web Apps in F# with WebSharper | .NET Zone - 1 views

  • In ASP.NET development, F# also offers productivity advantages over VB and C#.  F# is different because it is statically checked and type-safe.  It addresses weaknesses in ASP.NET development like untyped values, complex form construction, and using strings for IDs and method names that connect markup with code-behind (class-files).  Writing a web application in F# on the WebSharper platform can be less-time consuming if a developer is not great at writing web apps in JavaScript.  Through WebSharper, developers can write a web app using a large subset of F# and .NET core libraries and then just let WebSharper map the code to JavaScript.  WebSharper can integrate with ASP.NET applications, but it is different from the standard approach because it builds applications from miniature web pages called "pagelets".  The pagelets correspond to functions on the client-side and they are automatically translated into JavaScript.   WebSharper supports a wide range of JavaScript libraries, making it easy for developers to optimize their code in whatever way they choose.  jQuery, qooxdoo, Flapjax, and Yahoo UI are all supported by WebSharper.  The leap from F# to JavaScript is manageable because both are functional languages that support lambda expressions and closures.  Another unique part of WebSharper is a "formlet".  A formlet is a special pagelet that provides form functionality.  Formlets in Web Sharper run and validate on the client, submitting their result to a either a client- or a server-side callback.

Uniform Buffers VS Texture Buffers « RasterGrid Blog - 0 views

  • OpenGL 3.1 introduced two new sources from where shaders can retrieve their data, namely uniform buffers and texture buffers. These can be used to accelerate rendering when heavy usage of application provided data happens like in case of skeletal animation, especially when combined with geometry instancing. However, even if the functionality is in the core specification for about a year now, there are few demos out there to show their usage, as so, there is a big confusion around when to use them and which one is more suitable for a particular use case. Both AMD and NVIDIA have updated their GPU programming guides to present the latest facilities provided by both OpenGL and DirectX, however I still see that people don’t really understand how they work and that prevents them from effectively taking advantage of these features. Once, at some online forum, I found somebody arguing why is this whole confusion introduced by the Khronos Group and why there is no general buffer type to use instead and the decision whether to use uniform or texture buffers should be a decision made by the driver. This particular post motivated me to write this article.
