ScalaModules: a DSL for bringing OSGi to Scala | Lambda the Ultimate - 0 views

lambda-the-ultimate.org/3767

programming scala OSGi ScalaModules

shared by Aasemoon =) on 17 Jan 10 - Cached
  • ScalaModules is an open source project aimed at providing fluent support for OSGi to Scala developers. It takes advantage of Scala's infix operator notation, higher order functions, and implicit conversions. ScalaModules transparently uses the Scala compiler to wrap an OSGi BundleContext with its own RichBundleContext model. This general technique is not unusual for creating DSLs in mainstream languages. Sean McDirmid uses similar tricks for his C# Bling library for WPF, except that Bling must overcome the lack of C# offering comparable extensions to Scala.

  • Kota Nezu of ZNUG Design talks about his work developing the look of ZMP’s RoboCar, an educational platform for researchers working on autonomous vehicles.  The video is entirely Japanese, but you can see some cool CAD work and there’s some explanatory slides in this .PDF file.  Nezu-san also designed ZMP’s e-nuvo Humanoid, and Toyota’s personal transporter, the i-unit (seen in model form on his desk).  Part 2 follows after the break for those interested.

IEEE Spectrum: Flexible Flash - 0 views

  • 4 January 2010—Though flexible devices such as roll-up displays have been promised for several years, their commercialization has been stalled by a missing ingredient: a flexible form of flash memory. But researchers at the University of Tokyo have recently developed an organic, floating-gate nonvolatile memory that behaves like flash memory, which may solve that problem. While silicon-based flash memory is fine for the mass data storage found in cellphones, digital music players, and thumb drives, fabricating it requires high processing temperatures, thus ruling out its production on flexible substrates like plastic. Organic semiconductors, however, can be processed at temperatures well below the melting point of most plastics. What's more, "the cost of flash memory is too high to use in applications that require large arrays of memory," says Tsuyoshi Sekitani, an assistant professor in the University of Tokyo's department of electrical and electronic engineering and one of the researchers who developed the new memory. "But we can print our organic memory on flexible substrates and over large areas using inkjet printers. So costs will be low."

  • Anthony Daniels, the actor who brought the droid C-3PO to life in the Star Wars movies, visited St. Louis Thursday for a concert to celebrate the music of the popular Sci-Fi series. Joining the 86-piece orchestra will be several movie props including C-3PO's costume which Daniels said was "ouch" every time. He used tin-snips to make modifications during filming because only he knew exactly where all the pokes, pinches and jabs were.

  • The Nippon Institute of Technology, with Harada Vehicle Design, ZMP, and ZNUG Design, have developed a humanoid robot about the size of an elementary school student for educational purposes.  The university adopted 35 of ZMP’s e-nuvo WALK robots in 2004 for a 1:1 student-robot ratio.  Whereas the e-nuvo WALK (the educational version of NUVO) is quite small, the new robot is tall enough to interact with its environment in a more meaningful way.  Students will demonstrate the robot at elementary and junior high schools, as well as care facilities.  The goal is to improve student learning by raising awareness of bipedal robot technology and its connection to math and physics, while also giving them hands-on experience with the bot.  Additionally, by visiting care facilities the university students will come to understand the real-world needs and applications for robots.

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

    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"

  • The European Union has today formally approved Oracle's takeover of Sun Microsystems. The EU has been investigating the merger since September 2009 under EU Merger Regulation, expressing concern that Oracle may try and kill MySQL, a move that it felt could potentially have a detrimental impact on competition in the database market. Launching her investigation, outgoing Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes stated: The Commission has to examine very carefully the effects on competition in Europe when the world's leading proprietary database company proposes to take over the world's leading open source database company. In particular, the Commission has an obligation to ensure that customers would not face reduced choice or higher prices as a result of this takeover. Databases are a key element of company IT systems. In the current economic context, all companies are looking for cost-effective IT solutions, and systems based on open-source software are increasingly emerging as viable alternatives to proprietary solutions. The Commission has to ensure that such alternatives would continue to be available.
