Software Engineering: Dead? @ Coding Horror - 0 views

  • The guys and gals who show up every day eager to hone their craft, who are passionate about building stuff that matters to them, and perhaps in some small way, to the rest of the world -- those are the people and projects that will ultimately succeed.
  • Everything else is just noise.
  • If you want to move your project forward, the only reliable way to do that is to cultivate a deep sense of software craftsmanship and professionalism around it.
  •  
    « I'm gradually coming to the conclusion that software engineering is an idea whose time has come and gone. Software development is and always will be somewhat experimental. The actual software construction isn't necessarily experimental, but its conception is. And this is where our focus ought to be. It's where our focus always ought to have been. » __ Tom DeMarco

MIT's Introduction to Algorithms, Lectures 22 and 23: Cache Oblivious Algorithms - good... - 0 views

  • Cache-oblivious algorithms should not be confused with cache-aware algorithms. Cache-aware algorithms and data structures explicitly depend on various hardware configuration parameters, such as the cache size. Cache-oblivious algorithms do not depend on any hardware parameters.
  • An example of cache-aware (not cache-oblivious) data structure is a B-Tree that has the explicit parameter B, the size of a node. The main disadvantage of cache-aware algorithms is that they are based on the knowledge of the memory structure and size, which makes it difficult to move implementations from one architecture to another.
  •  
    « Cache-oblivious algorithms take into account something that has been ignored in all the lectures so far, particularly, the multilevel memory hierarchy of modern computers. Retrieving items from various levels of memory and cache make up a dominant factor of running time, so for speed it is crucial to minimize these costs. The main idea of cache-oblivious algorithms is to achieve optimal use of caches on all levels of a memory hierarchy without knowledge of their size. »

Moving to Symbian S60: One Year Later - 0 views

      What disadvantage did he find with having choice? Fragmented community, inconsistent UI, difficulty integrating with 3rd party apps, something else?
  • 5-9 clicks just to add a calendar item.
  • disjointed software updating -- which requires a Windows PC in older Nokia devices -- that leaves many North American users without fixes to serious issues for all but the most popular of handsets.

  • there really isn't something as stable and capable as the Symbian OS (yet).
  • Check with your home or renter's insurance whether they will or not before purchasing high-end models.
  • Nokia's Symbian devices do not always use the same software as Samsung and LG's Symbian devices.
  • Battery life is better with Nokia E-series devices; much better.
  • This platform is fun, but is in major transition; something like what Palm is going through with Palm OS 5 and webOS.

Pragmatic Smalltalk (slides) | Feb 2009 | David Chisnall - 0 views

  •  
    Interesting clippings from the slides: "What can we do with it? * Write applications. Melodie uses lots of Smalltalk, first pure-Smalltalk app committed to svn in January. * Write scripts. Corner activation and gesture app uses Smalltalk for scripting. * Modify existing apps... " "We can inspect classes in a code browser, see method names, and write replacements in any running application. In a perfect Free Software system, any user can make any changes. "
  •  
    My comment above might imply that Smalltalk is not modern. The truth is far from it, as Smalltalk is still pushing the boundaries of technology and user interfaces, from Croquet and Qwaq, to Alice, Sophie, Scratch and Etoys.
  •  
    (I fixed Friday's broken link to the PDF.) From what I read so far, this seems to be another attempt at a fully introspecitve integrated and customisable personal computer with a graphical desktop. In other words, it is Dynabook Smalltalk and Lisp workstations all over again, but quite likely with some interesting modern twists.

WTFPL - Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License - 0 views

  •  
    There is a long ongoing battle between GPL zealots and BSD fanatics, about which license type is the most free of the two. In fact, both license types have unacceptable obnoxious clauses (such as reproducing a huge disclaimer that is written in all caps) that severely restrain our freedoms. The WTFPL can solve this problem.

Microsoft is Dead - 11 views

  •  
    A few days ago I suddenly realized Microsoft was dead. I was talking to a young startup founder about how Google was different from Yahoo. I said that Yahoo had been warped from the start by their fear of Microsoft. That was why they'd positioned themselves as a "media company" instead of a technology company. Then I looked at his face and realized he didn't understand. It was as if I'd told him how much girls liked Barry Manilow in the mid 80s. Barry who?

Shelves in Subversion | svn commit ./me - 0 views

  • The first thing to do is to create the shelf/branch. If you know your working copy is a little old, compared to the HEAD revision of your trunk or branch, then you can use the last revision you committed or updated to when creating the shelf. Otherwise, just use the HEAD revision:svn copy -r HEAD url://server/repos/project1/trunk url://server/repos/project1/branches/shelfThis command is creating the shelf directly in the repository, based on whatever URL and revision your working copy is associated with. In this example, I used trunk. The next step is to use the svn switch command to switch your working copy so that it is pointing at the shelf URL:svn switch url://server/repos/project1/branches/shelf

Code Bubbles Project: Rethinking the User Interface Paradigm of Integrated Development ... - 5 views

  • A bubble is a fully editable and interactive view of a fragment such as a method or collection of member variables. Bubbles, in contrast to windows, have minimal border decoration, avoid clipping their contents by using automatic code reflow and elision, and do not overlap but instead push each other out of the way.
  •  
    We propose a novel user interface metaphor for code understanding and maintanence based on collections of lightweight, editable fragments called bubbles, which form concurrently visible working sets.
