Running Linux Programs on Windows - 6 views

  •  
    Linux is a staple brand name when it comes to computers. Over the years, it has been creating programs and operating systems that are very much in tune with the world's need these days. Actually, there is a variety of Linux programs that I find better than its counterparts. However, this program c

Computerworld - The A-Z of Programming Languages: BASH/Bourne-Again Shell - 0 views

  • Interviews The A-Z of Programming Languages: BASH/Bourne-Again ShellWhen the Bourne Shell found its identity
  • in this article we chat to Chet Ramey about his experience maintaining Bash.
  • In BASH's case, the problem to be solved was a free software version of the Posix standard shell to be part of the GNU system.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • the original Bourne Shell was very influential, the various System V shell releases preserved that heritage, and the Posix committee used those versions as the basis for the standard they developed. Certainly the basic language syntax and built-in commands are direct descendants of the Bourne Shell's. Bash's additional features and functionality build on what the Bourne shell provided. As for source code and internal implementation, there's no relationship at all
  • Bash will continue to evolve as both an interactive environment and a programming language. I'd like to add more features that allow interested users to extend the shell in novel ways. The programmable completion system is an example of that kind of extension.
  • Do you have any advice for up-and-coming programmers? Find an area that interests you and get involved with an existing community. There are free software projects in just about any area of programming. The nuts-and-bolts -- which language you use, what programming environment you use, where you do your work -- are not as important as the passion and interest you bring to the work itself.

  • A no-fly zone to protect Linux from patent trolls
  • initiative designed to help shield the open-source software community from threats posed by companies or individuals holding dubious software patents and seeking payment for alleged infringements by open-source software products.
  • call to independent open-source software developers all over the world to start submitting their new software inventions to Linux Defenders (Web site due to be operational Tuesday) so that the group’s attorneys and engineers can, for no charge, help shape, structure, and document the invention in the form of a “defensive publication.”
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • In effect, the defensive-publications initiative mounts a preemptive attack upon those who would try to patent purported software inventions that are not truly novel — i.e., innovations that are already known and in use, though no one may have ever previously bothered to document them, let alone obtain a patent on them, a process usually requiring the hiring of attorneys as well as payment of significant filing fees.
  • The Linux Defenders program is largely the brainchild of Bergelt, who took over as Open Invention Network’s CEO this past February. The program also reflects a new, more proactive role Bergelt envisions for OIN than the group has played in the past.
  • The Linux Defenders program will actually have three components. The first will be a peer-to-patent component that, like New York Law School’s existing program, will reach out to the open-source community in search of evidence of “prior art” — proof of preexisting knowledge or use of certain inventions — that can be used to challenge applications for patents that have been filed but not yet granted.
  • The second component will be a natural extension of the first, to be known as “Post-Grant Peer to Patent,” which will enlist similar community assistance in the search for prior art relevant to patents that have already actually issued. In this case, the goal would be — assuming such prior art is found — to initiate an administrative reexamination proceeding before the U.S. PTO to get the patent invalidated
  • The third component is the defensive-publications initiative.
  •  
    On Tuesday a consortium of technology companies, including IBM (IBM), will launch a new initiative designed to help shield the open-source software community from threats posed by companies or individuals holding dubious software patents and seeking payment for alleged infringements by open-source software products. The most novel feature of the new program, to be known as Linux Defenders, will be its call to independent open-source software developers all over the world to start submitting their new software inventions to Linux Defenders (Web site due to be operational Tuesday) so that the group's attorneys and engineers can, for no charge, help shape, structure, and document the invention in the form of a "defensive publication."

Vim Plugins You Should Know About, Part VII: ragtag.vim (formerly allml.vim) - good cod... - 0 views

  •  
    This is the seventh post in the article series "Vim Plugins You Should Know About". This time I am going to introduce you to a plugin called "ragtag.vim". A month ago it was still known as "allml.vim" but now it has been renamed to ragtag.vim. The best parts of RagTag are mappings for editing HTML tags. It has a mapping for quickly closing open HTML tags, a mapping for quickly turning the typed word into a pair of open/close HTML tags, several mappings for inserting HTML doctype, linking to CSS stylesheets, loading JavaScript and it includes mappings for wrapping the typed text in a pair of tags for PHP, or for ASP or eRuby, and {% .. %} for Django. RagTag is written by Tim Pope. He's the master of Vim plugin programming. I have already written about two of his plugins - surround.vim and repeat.vim and more articles about his plugins are coming!
