I've been primarily working with XML databases (eXist) on the back end the past several years. But the need for doing more client-side work (via JavaScript) has been increasing. Having dealt with Microsoft's weekly build breaks in IE 4 (I seriously had a list of build numbers from each week that different customers installed IE and a different aspect of my web application broke), and their inability to follow the ECMAScript standard, I've gone very grudgingly back into the whole build apps with JavaScript movement.
What I would like to be able to do is write XQuery on both the server and in the browser. The Sausalito made that promise, but it just never felt quite right to me.
Node and CouchDB together appear to do the same with JavaScript, and with impressive results from what I've seen. I've spent a long time evaluating it and a few other frameworks for a future project, but the surprise find for me has been AngularJS.
Having been raised with MVC back in the 1990s in C++ and Java, there has just been something about AngularJS that has totally clicked with me. I can take a bit of the load of rendering pages away from the XML database backend and use static HTML pages in the dynamic fashion that was promised since Netscape Navigator 2.0.
It's been nice doing everything in a single language - XQuery - for the past several years. The Model is XML, the View is XHTML and JSON output, and the Controller is XQuery. All of it running on the server side.
The division of labor in AngularJS feels right to me. It's organized well. (Part of that organization appears to be a reliance on Node for project management. So understanding Node is useful, even if you're not going to be running from a Node HTTP server.)
It appears that they're all trying to find technical or social engineering methods to get females interested in STEM subject. My daughter is very good at math and science and would like to explore the field more. But with college a couple of years away, the main issue is money. How are we going to pay for her to go to a good school where she can explore STEM subjects more?
She thinks that she wants to go to the U.S. to study, but as soon as recent help for student aid was announced, the prices at most colleges went up to match it, especially for out-of-state / out-of-country students. The in-state tuition was a bit pricy for a good STEM university, even that is crazy now.
I've done this by accident a number of times at both the Asia Series and World Baseball Classic at Tokyo Dome. Thinking back, all I did was have a general admission ticket on a pass carrier around my neck and just walk into the press area while nodding to the guard at the entrance. I was supposed to meet some friends there once, but they got stopped by security. "What? This is a restricted zone?" I had no idea before then that anyone wasn't allowed in there.
I guess it goes to show that if you really believe you belong somewhere and look the part that few will challenge you.
I'm just surprised that it's taken everyone this long to see these tactics in politics. Microsoft has been teaching them these techniques for over a decade.
You couldn't pay me to use a Microsoft service of any kind. I overwrote my last Microsoft partition at the stroke of midnight, January 1, 2000. My computer life has been so much more aggravation free since.
I had the Japanese equivilent, the NEC 8201. It was my first computer, bought with my summer job money when I was in high school. I took that with me everywhere, typing in programs from monthly Japanese computer magazines (learning programming and how to read Japanese at the same time).
I still have my 8201, but it doesn't boot up any more. I wish I understood hardware, because I'd really like to let my kids get a feel for what computing was like 28 years ago.
There were articles earlier in the year saying that the Leaf could be used to power the home in case of emergency, or to give back to the home that is powered by the sun by day and Leaf at night. I asked a guy at the local Nissan dealer when I took my La Festa in for a checkup if I could just have the battery system without the car. He looked at me strange and asked why? I told him that I was looking into alternate energy systems (wind and solar), but none of the solar packages being sold store the power; they all redirect it to the grid. I've researched storage systems, but everything I've found were a mess of old car batteries arranged in serial and parallel. If the Leaf has a single package that can easily connect to the home to charge and discharge, it would be a great help here in Japan since Fukushima went down. (This was still several months ago when energy restrictions were still in effect.) I don't think the guys at Nissan know what a great little package they have there for other uses than to power a car.
Countries outside of the U.S. have no problem offering high speed unlimited data at affordable prices without any of the problems that the U.S. carriers are claiming. And the best deals are often on mobile! And, yes, there is heavy audio and video traffic in other countries as well.
I started learning XQuery (for native XML databases) before turning 40, but it was after turning 40 that the whole beauty of the language overtook me.
There still aren't that many XQuery programmers out there, and their demand is on the rise. So learning a new language with a lot of potential and very little current competition may be what you need. Your functional programming skills will be very helpful with XQuery.
For starters, the Open Source eXist DB project is great for getting up and running with a native XML database and using XQuery. There are a lot of tutorials, deep documentation, and a very responsive mailing list.
I remember Lee Iaccoca in the late 1980s going before Congress asking for tariffs against Japanese automobiles because, "It isn't fair. They [the Japanese] work harder [than Americans]." I was shocked and bewildered by his statement. Is he saying that working hard gives one an unfair advantage over the lazy? Is he telling Congress that Americans are lazy? How can that be an argument against anything?
When I see someone whining about things that are "not fair," I can't help but remember Iaccoca's plea.
Sounds like the plot to Pacific Heights. I didn't really like that movie just because it sounded too plausible, like too many people would run out and try it.
I disallowed MSN bot via robots.txt many years ago. Shortly after Bing started up, I started getting hits coming from Bing. I checked their forums to see how to disable Bing from crawling my site, the instructions hadn't changed - disallow MSN bot. Each time MSN bot came along, it got robots.txt, then apparently went away (that IP address didn't repeat).
Since I couldn't stop Microsoft from linking to my site, I got my revenge a different way. I wrote a filter to check the referrer; if it came from Bing, I redirected to Google with the same search parameters. Most come back from Google a minute or two later (after their confusion wears off?).
I don't care so much about the legality of what Microsoft is doing. It's just plain wrong in my book, and I'll happily lose potential hits to my site to see to it that they do not benefit from this underhanded behavior.
The article fails to mention anything about the annoying problem that all of these services (iTunes included) don't allow those of us outside the U.S. to view any of these shows. Stupid exclusive deals for possible future foreign releases prevent worldwide distribution and force many expats to turn to bit torrents.
If it's greed that drives the producers (and copyright holders), I do hope that they someday realize that they can earn more by allowing people outside of the U.S. timely access to their shows through legitimate channels (like iTunes, Hulu, etc.) than through exclusive tie-ups with other dinosaur companies that think the same way they do.
I've had msnbot rejected from my site for many years. The just under a year ago I get a request from someone working for MSN Live Search asking to remove the block from robots.txt. I said, "no" and gave her the short version of my falling out with Microsoft (just the 1995 to 1998 subset).
Then I started getting hits from Bing. Their support site only mentioned msnbot gathering information, so how did my site get index? Well, this had to stop.
So, I wrote a filter that would redirect anything with a REFERER from bing.com to google.com with the same search query. After running for a few weeks now, I see that some IP addresses never return, but most come back from Google - often with more specific search queries than the first time. I still haven't heard a word from the confused Bing users about it, though. So I'm guessing that it works well for keeping the completely clueless out.
Google's algorithm rocks for English results, but blows for Japanese.
I'm afraid that I have to disagree with that. In fact, I often find the technical stuff better with a Japanese Google query than an English one, and Japanese is my second language.
I would venture that it all depends on the subject matter. If it's some otaku anime stuff you're looking for, then you may just get a bunch of other otaku instead of good primary resource material. But I'm not really into that sort of thing.
For PHP, MySQL, Ruby, Postgress, Java, Groovy, and many more technical questions/answers, searching in Japanese first has much less noise to signal. (Although I will admit that worthless Hatena keyword posts come up too often in the higher results.)
I run a web site and have had robots.txt request that msnbot not index my site. So far as I can tell from my access logs, msnbot and its relatives (media, and others) respect this request.
Needless to say, I was surprised when I suddenly started getting references from Bing queries. That simply shouldn't be. I've expelled the stench of Microsoft from my servers. I prefer quality over quantity, and don't care to have Microsoft benefit from anything I put my heart and sole into. So how did Microsoft index my pages?
My first thought what that they have another bot. Yet there is no reference to a bing*bot in my logs. And as I said, msnbot* isn't identifying itself if it's ignoring robots.txt. So, if I were being denied indexing access to the best sites on a given topic, but wanted to index them anyway, how would I go about it?
Well, I'd probably start off by going through a bunch of blogs with something that could understand the context - much like the recent Google Wave demonstration with respect to their new context sensitive spell checker. A lot of blogs link back to my site for detailed information and as a primary source. So if someone queries Bing with regard to this subject matter, then the indexed pages' links to my site could be used to suggest it as a primary source, thus my site would appear in the results, perhaps even higher than the blogs references it.
Thus, Microsoft can circumvent my desire to not have them index my site - and I see little that I can do to change that. Their support page says that site administrators can have some control, but only if they have an MSN Live login - which isn't going to happen.
Needless to say, I'm not at all happy about this, and will be working in some of my free time to see to it that anyone coming in from Bing are rerouted elsewhere. You couldn't pay me to use a Microsoft product. (I overwrote my final MS partition at the stroke of midnight, January 1, 2000, and have refused to use their products since, much to the headache of the HR department. Anything not available on FreeBSD, Linux, or Mac OS/X isn't necessary.) Microsoft will pay for this overstepping of bounds.
Why spend thousands of dollars smooshing a high resolution display to your face when you can blow up a flatscreen to epic proportions and get all the resolution you need?
Because my office doubles as the laundry room and my 15" iBook G4 screen is already partially obscured by notes hanging off of the shelves that go from desk to ceiling. I couldn't care less about total immersion or virtual reality. I'd just like a larger screen to work with that doesn't take up any more space. If a head mounted display can provide that (without a headache while coding), then I'm there.
Try Justin.TV Sports. That's how many expats get sports from their home countries while away. It's also a great resource for getting sports (and other programming) not generally available in your own country.
This works on Macs (Intel and Power). I thought it worked on Linux with the latest Flash plugin, but I've had one Linux user tell me that it didn't. (Then again, I don't know what version of Flash he was using.) Please give it a try and report back what happens on Linux. I'd like to know for sure myself.
Sometimes the best way to make people see what's going on is to shock them. Ask these two questions:
Do you believe that Sadam Husein had anything to do with 9/11?
Do you believe that President Obama is a Muslim terrorist?
If they answer "yes" to either of these questions, then simply state that they are too susceptible to fear mongering and distortions of reality to convince otherwise. When they move everything to proprietary software and find the reliability of such solutions to be lower than what they've experienced the past 5-6 years, that will be their wake up call. They clearly need the experience of being deceived by these Microsoft shills to understand what the rest of us see as clear lies.
If they answer "no" to the above two questions, then all you should have to do is explain that the fear mongering from Microsoft-based businesses is the exact same technique that the was used by the Bush Administration and the Republican presidential campaign to create Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt in the minds of The People to support their proprietary goals. Transparency in software, as in government, is what is needed. Open Source is all about transparency.
You have to trust someone and so far Google has shown that it hasn't breached that trust. A standard rule in life is to initially trust someone until it's been broken once. Then it's an all out war. You can't be paranoid of everyone that's new. It just stops changes.
Well said. Google has never given me reason to not trust them. Microsoft, on the other hand, had given me numerous reasons for distrust. (Netscape Gold not working due to TPC/IP stack problems after installing MS Office, for instance? And Office didn't have any Internet capabilities back then - so how did the TPC/IP stack in Netscape break?)
I fought hard in the corporate world to break free of Microsoft because of my lack of faith in them. My supervisors had to print out intranet pages for me to fill out on paper so they could enter them into the system because the intranet applications only worked with IE (and I had migrated the last of my systems at work to FreeBSD at the stroke of midnight, January 1, 2000).
The thing is, you can trust in Google. While the amount of information they have on me may be scary at times, they have done nothing to make me feel that they are untrustworthy to hold that data.
On the other hand, you absolutely can not trust in Microsoft. They have gone well beyond reason in showing me their untrustworthiness, time and time again.
Oh, and with this new spurt of spam, my first thought was that there must be some new 0-day method to infect MS users via MSN. Perhaps related to Microsoft's sudden desperate need to patch IE?
Why don't I miss the pain of using Microsoft? I'm coming up on the 9th anniversary of overwriting my last Microsoft partition (at work no less) - hitting [Enter] at the stroke of midnight, January 1, 2000 (while awaiting the world to end due to the Year 2000 Bug).
When are they going to get personalized? I guess I don't have enough information out there, because the past few days I got about 50 messages from Hot Chicks who thought I was "hawt" and want to chat on MSN.
I don't advertise on dating sites. Any profile I have is professional, not looking for a bonehead blond.
I am not "hawt" now, nor was I a few decades ago when I was actually available.
You couldn't pay me to use a Microsoft product, and that includes MSN.
That's 0 for 3 for the most recent spew of spam that's getting through the filters. I'm afraid that they need more help with the personalization still. Or is it that I need more make more of my personal life available to them?
