The Platform Update is a set of runtime libraries which bring Vista largely Up to par with Windows 7 in terms of the: Windows Ribbon control; Automation Manager Library; DirectX Updates for hardware acceleration; DirectCompute for hardware-accelerated parallel computing sUpport; the XPS printing library; the Windows Automation API; and the Windows Portable Devices Platform, which standardizes data transfers across apps and portable devices.

A custom color picker designed specifically for developers. Makes getting colors out of Photoshop/Acorn mock-ups quick and easy. Currently supports NSColor, UIColor, CGColorRef, CSS and HTML styles.

« 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. »

xVal is a validation framework for ASP.NET MVC applications. It makes it easy to link up your choice of server-side validation mechanism with your choice of client-side validation library, neatly fitting both into ASP.NET MVC architecture and conventions.

This Symbian system (aka Psion and Nokia S60) was well loved for its well though out personal organizer or PIM applications. Now, smartphone users seems more interested in e-mail, music and games. I am interested to see if Symbian OS still has a profitable niche. Symbian is a market leader in the new market.

Explores specific techniques, strategies, and solutions to developing robust, cross-browser, JavaScript code.

"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 love this article. Lawrence is 60 and can perhaps afford to be sanguine, but I am glad he is warning the rest of us.

Some quotable quotes here: "while we laugh at the guy who expected that his computer could be hooked up to his boom box to use the cd, he's actually just a bit ahead of us. Yes, ahead, not behind. In the future, he probably could get his computer to talk the boom box into transferring data from its cd." "When I was a teenager, I had a friend who made extra money testing and changing vacuum tubes in TV's and radios. Try earning money that way today- there is actually a very small market for that kind of thing, and there are still people who sell tubes and the like, but that market is pretty small. In the dumbed down computers of the future, there may still be a few antique machines kicking around here and there, but that isn't going to support very many of us." This is largely true and happening all the time. A programmer can use Python or Smalltalk without needing to know C (or Fortran or assembler.) A child can program in Morphic tiles (Etoys and Scratch)! We don't need to know the difference between a serial cable and a printer cable, or how to install a driver' it is all USB (or Bluetooth!) There are some gurus that program USB, but perhaps only a few hundred of them, and the rest of us just use it.

So what is the best way to set up NoScript to avoid XSS attacks from Facebook users?

Ever wanted to display the number of posts your blog has achieved for your blog readers or perhaps just for yourself? Or, what about the number of posts in a specific category? If so, I'll show you a quick and easy way to do just that, and we'll style up the output with a bit of CSS Level 2.1 the standard way.

The nursery rhyme looks familiar, but how realistic is it? Smalltalk and Self appear at first glance to be in danger of this kind of horror, especially Smalltalk where every object has a class, yet a Smalltalk statement consists largely of verbs. Yegge seems to have missed an important detail in his analogy - verbs are not functions - they are symbols (selectors) that resolve to a function (method) when they are looked up (depending on ... whatever - Smalltalk the class of the receiver, CLOS the types of the arguments and so on). C and FORTRAN don't have verbs, they just have functions (actions).

JTidy is a Java port of HTML Tidy, a HTML syntax checker and pretty printer. Like its non-Java cousin, JTidy can be used as a tool for cleaning up malformed and faulty HTML. In addition, JTidy provides a DOM interface to the document that is being processed, which effectively makes you able to use JTidy as a DOM parser for real-world HTML.

The PHP/Java Bridge is an implementation of a streaming, XML-based network protocol, which can be used to connect a native script engine, for example PHP, Scheme or Python, with a Java or ECMA 335 virtual machine. It is up to 50 times faster than local RPC via SOAP, requires less resources on the web-server side. It is faster and more reliable than direct communication via the Java Native Interface, and it requires no additional components to invoke Java procedures from PHP or PHP procedures from Java.

artículo interesante sobre la función de diigo: para información "importante" / para trivialidades (esto es discutido por un participante. muy acertado. describe cómo es posible crear una gran red.

AutoMapper uses a fluent configuration API to define an object-object mapping strategy. AutoMapper uses a convention-based matching algorithm to match up source to destination values. It flattens as it maps to make it easy to use for converting your Model into a ViewModule or Data Transfer Object (DTO)..

Automatically copies values (and references) from one object to another matching up on property name and type

9 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale followed by the tsunami waves have devastated the eastern coast areas of Japan until paralyzed. As reported by CNN, recently, a massive earthquake, it also shifts the main island of Japan and the axis of the earth.

Not the iPhone 4G called earlier-mentioned person to mention the latest gadget from Apple, such as when an official announcement at the opening of the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on Tuesday 8th June 2010 iPhone 4 yesterday officially introduced to on the customer by Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO.

The results shown in the accounts up recording it. He said, "Actually this is unusual natural phenomenon. When viewed with the naked eye will not make any difference. It's a bit like distinguishing pants size 34 and 36, if not close to see it also not be visible."

« The Apache™ Hadoop™ project develops open-source software for reliable, scalable, distributed computing. The Hadoop software library is a framework that allows for the distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using a simple programming model. It is designed to scale up from single servers to thousands of machines, each offering local computation and storage. Rather than rely on hardware to deliver high-avaiability, the library itself is designed to detect and handle failures at the application layer, so delivering a highly-availabile service on top of a cluster of computers, each of which may be prone to failures. »
