  • Consequently, it is not reasonable to expect us to make sound business or technical decisions on behalf of the customers, or to resolve conflicting requirements supplied by different end users, or to set priorities for the many requirements that might be collected.
  • We have finally reached the state where if no project champion can be found to see that the right system is built, we cancel the project.
  • The consequence of not explicitly discussing these quality tradeoffs is a surprise upon delivery, when the customer finds that his implicit quality attribute requirements have not been achieved
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • One way to reach an appropriate middle ground in the specification process is to conduct formal inspections of the SRS. A structured document like the IEEE SRS is readily inspected by the design team, the project champions, other representative users, and other software engineers who are not directly involved with the project

      sadly, this is something that is always left to the end to 'clean up'. Meaning, the spec is complete when the project is delivered versus kept up to date and in sync with what we are delivering.
  • A prototype is intended to answer specific questions about functionality or interaction styles. If you don't have any questions, don't bother with a prototype
  • Even in a small software group, a focus on accurately and completely capturing, documenting, and modeling the user requirements is a major contributor to building high quality information systems

    Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) is a new library in .NET that enables greater reuse of applications and components ... but it's (currently) licensed under the unacceptable MS-LPL ... where that extra L stands for "lock-in"

      I was hoping to provide a list of my blog posts from RSS feeds, as well as links to all of the articles that I have commented on with my friends' blogs. I could list all of my friends' blogs and scrape them periodically, but I was hoping for a solution that uses trackbacks, or whatever pingback-style facilities are available on my friends' blogs. Granted this type of support will vary from site to site, but it should be possible to build a complete publishing record automatically, with the standards we have available today. I posted a comment on otierney.net (my friend Tristan is up on all the latest web standards) and I noticed that his blogger is collecting URLs along with emails. I filled in the link to my Radiant CMS on nerdland.org but I'm afraid my blogger is not going to do anything to collect these pingbacks, when they are fired. Can anyone point out an example code segment or project that highlights this type of behavior?

    A code-generation tool to work around one of the main limitations of Microsoft's Entity Framework V1 (released as part of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Visual Studio 2008 SP1): lack of support for POCO (Plain Old CLR Object) entity objects -- that is, objects that do not have any persistence awareness programmed in them.

algorithms cache-oblivious lecture

shared by Fabien Cadet on 02 Aug 09 - No Cached
  • 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.
  • Fabien Cadet on 02 Aug 09
     
    « 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. »

    This is an extremely cool and useful web application, and if it hasn't been thought of before, I'm absolutely shocked, because it makes so much sense. Essentially, PHPanywhere is a web based free Integrated Development Environment or IDE for the PHP language. In other words it is a web based application that provides PHP developers a PHP code editor that mocks a desktop application, and it does so very well.

    "Nietzsche would have been right at home on an ugly team: what does not kill the ugly team makes the ugly team stronger." "Real heroes are ugly. [...] In spite of their failings, they find ways to achieve, betting everything on passion, persistence, and imagination. [...] For these reasons, when things get tough, it's the ugly teams that win. People from ugly teams expect things to go wrong and show up anyway. They conquer self-doubt, make friendships under fire, and find magic in ideas that others abandon."

    I don't think this will get you past the iPhone app store, but it should make it easier for non-Cocoa coders who want access to the accelerometer, geolocation and other on board functions that aren't available to pure web apps.

    Abstract: In many environments, multi-threaded code is written in a language that was originally designed without thread support (e.g. C), to which a library of threading primitives was subsequently added. [...] We provide specific arguments that a pure library approach, in which the compiler is designed independently of threading issues, cannot guarantee correctness of the resulting code. [...]

    It is always important to know how to submit a bug report. It doesn't help that every community has different expectations, and every bug tracking system has a different layout. In Squeak, the learning curve is long but shallow. In this 23 minute screencast, Ken Causey starts with some bug hunting tips, and explains how to make a Smalltalk changeset file that is numbered, documented and compressed. He then shows how to submit this to the Mantis server on bugs.squeak.org.

    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.

  • Joel Bennett on 04 Mar 10
     
    U-Prove is an innovative cryptographic technology that enables the issuance and presentation of cryptographically protected claims in a manner that provides multi-party security: issuing organizations, users, and relying parties can protect themselves not just against outsider attacks but also against attacks originating from each other. At the same time, the U-Prove technology enables any desired degree of privacy (including authenticated anonymity and pseudonymity) without contravening multi-party security. These user-centric aspects make the U-Prove technology ideally suited to create the digital equivalent of paper-based credentials and the plastic cards in one's wallet.
