Alarming Development : JavaScript is good enough | Jan 2009 - 0 views

  • It is impossible to build a hash table in JavaScript that works on arbitrary objects. You would have to manually allocate unique ID’s for every object and include them in the toString. So no collections in JavaScript. Adobe provides a true built-in hashtable in ActionScript 3.
  • Objects can function as sets and maps. Arrays can function as lists and iterators (generate an array when you need an iterator). More that good enough in this context.
  • VB also often compiles down to better MSIL than C#. It is also the only .NET language with first-class edit-and-continue Lisp-like debugging capabilities.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • a good collection library should support a meta-object protocol with features like rejecting changes. This allows collections to be passed around as references,

    An old-fashioned language war, 2009 style. Visual Basic even gets a mention as "Lisp-like" (for its debugging.)

Remember Smalltalk? | Gartner Blogs 2008 - 1 views

  • 2) If you are BIG fan of dynamics languages (closures, meta programming, and all that cool stuff) then consider giving Smalltalk a look.  You might like what you see.  Its like Ruby but with bigger muscles.  You think Rails is cool? Check out seaside. In the end we’ll see a up tick in Smalltalk momentum over the next few years. 
  • Please don’t talk about Smalltalk. I enjoy my competitive advantage over the Java/NET crowd
  • Where Smalltalk really shines recently is in field of web applications due to its dynamic nature (live upgrading, debugging etc.) and because its shortcoming are not relevant here.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • On the Desktop - Dolphin creates 500k exe’s with ease - its a 1 button click (you just have to follow some of their easy put things in packages rules).
  • Remember LAN MAN? OS2? Both were heavily endorsed by Gartner.
  • I laugh when people say poor performance on older hardware was a mjor Smalltalk weakness. We routinely delivered applications that ran on 386 and 68020 processors with 8MB RAM. And yes, they were quite snappy. No, the reason Smalltalk didn’t catch on is because Sun spent more money on Java marketing than was spent on all computer languages combined, since the dawn of time.
  • I’ve listened personally to whiny ROR programmers groan and whine about PHP devs LEARNING ROR and undercutting them.
  • I didn’t fall for it for the marketing. I fell for WORA, for the language/runtime separation, for the multi-vendor approach (Sun never wanted to be the single provider for any Java centric product niche, and in fact was never the leader), for the comprehensive set of vendor-neutral APIs for all sorts of execution environments/applications,
  • For now I would like to see more use of Smalltalk like constructs in Java (Groovy).
  • Smalltalk must have sofisticated CASE tools, business process simulation tools, large development environments etc. etc. etc.
  • I stayed to teach Smalltalk since 1993 and am very happy about this information. Each academic year, we produce a small group of new Smalltalkers in the Czech Republic.
  • Joe Barnhart // Apr 4, 2009 at 2:48 pm At the company where I work, we have used Smalltalk for 19 years. Our tiny team of programmers has beat the pants off of competitors who employ teams 100 times our size.

Classical Inheritance in JavaScript - 0 views

  • function ZParenizor2(value) { var that = new Parenizor(value); that.toString = function () { if (this.getValue()) { return this.uber('toString'); } return "-0-" }; return that; }
    • Matteo Spreafico
       
      This constructors lies, wondeful!
  • Again, we augment Function. We make an instance of the parent class and use it as the new prototype. We also correct the constructor field, and we add the uber method to the prototype as well.
  • This adds a public method to the Function.prototype, so all functions get it by Class Augmentation. It takes a name and a function, and adds them to a function's prototype object.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • To make the examples above work, I wrote four sugar methods. First, the method method, which adds an instance method to a class. Function.prototype.method = function (name, func) { this.prototype[name] = func; return this; };
  • JavaScript can be used like a classical language, but it also has a level of expressiveness which is quite unique. We have looked at Classical Inheritance, Swiss Inheritance, Parasitic Inheritance, Class Augmentation, and Object Augmentation. This large set of code reuse patterns comes from a language which is considered smaller and simpler than Java.
  • I have been writing JavaScript for 8 years now, and I have never once found need to use an uber function. The super idea is fairly important in the classical pattern, but it appears to be unnecessary in the prototypal and functional patterns. I now see my early attempts to support the classical model in JavaScript as a mistake.

Titanic effort to break two world records - 0 views

  •  
    Guests at the Reading Hilton saw two world records being set as they walked through the hotel lobby. Fitness instructor at the hotel's gym, Oliver Trinder, 23, who lives in Woodley, and his friend Dave Holby, 29, rowed on a machine incessantly for 100 hours between them, breaking the world record.

Why LD_LIBRARY_PATH is bad, by David Barr (2001) - 2 views

  • This list is prepended to the existing list of compiled-in loader paths for a given executable, and any system default loader paths.
  • For security reasons, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is ignored at runtime for executables that have their setuid or setgid bit set. This severely limits the usefulness of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
  • SunOS 4.x uses major and minor revision numbers. If you have a library “Xt”, then it's named something like “libXt.so.4.10” (Major version 4, minor 10). If you update the library (to correct a bug, for example), you would install libX11.so.4.11 and applications would automatically use the new version.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Linux, SunOS 5.x and most other SYSV variants use only major revision numbers. A library “Xt” is just named something like “libXt.so.4”.
  • Linux confuses things by generally using major/minor library file names, but always include a symlink that is the actual library path referenced. So, for example, a library “libXt.so.6” is actually a symlink to “libXt.so.6.0”.
  • The linker/loader actually looks for “libXt.so.6”.
  • run-time vs link-time paths
  • There's also LD_RUN_PATH which is an environment variable which acts to “ld” just like specifying -R.

Taco Bell Programming - 6 views

  • Taco Bell Programming is about developers knowing enough about Ops (and Unix in general) so that they don't overthink things, and arrive at simple, scalable solutions.
    • Joel Bennett
       
      There's something to be said for reusing the great (functional) tools and components that are already in your tool set. Simple and functional is a great combination, and the less code *you* have to write (for a given solution) the less code you'll have to maintain.
