если выпало в империи родиться, лучше жить в глухой провинции у моря...
Иосиф Бродский
«Письма римскому другу»
«Письма римскому другу»
(Из Марциала)
*
Нынче ветрено и волны с перехлёстом.
Скоро осень, всё изменится в округе.
Смена красок этих трогательней, Постум,
чем наряда перемены у подруги.
Дева тешит до известного предела –
дальше локтя не пойдёшь или колена.
Сколь же радостней прекрасное вне тела:
ни объятье невозможно, ни измена!

почему все программные языки на английском?
Why are all programming languages in English?
Alfred Thompson
Last week I was at the CSTA Computer Science & Information Technology conference in New York City. One of the great thing about events like this is the hallway conversations that just happen. When you get a lot of interesting people together the conversations are interesting by default. I had one such conversation with Dave Reed, computer science faculty at Creighton University and past Chief Reader of the Advanced Placement Computer Science exam. We started by talking about programming by people whose language is not English. The keywords they use are, for almost all languages, in English. Comments, variables, user written classes and methods though are in their own language. How confusing might that be? Dave has used a program written in German in some of his classes and asked students to explain what is going on from context. That’s an interesting exercise for sure. On the other hand why not translate the keywords?

BUILDING SMALL THINGS
Jef Claes
Due to the nature of things we build in our day to day job, writing software can wear out even the most fit of us.
Most software jobs make you constantly deal with complexity. The amount of things which can lead to a complex software project are immense. A poor first design, and failure to redesign. External dependencies, which seem to behave different every time around. Or just the complexity of the problems itself.
You are almost always working in a team, which can be exhausting as well. If the team doesn't share your passion and you have a hard time getting your ideas across, you will get frustrated, real soon. Add some coroporate politics to the mix and you'll be on your way to Paranoia.
It feels like I'm turning this into a rant, but I'll stop right here, you get where I'm going at. Building software in the real world can be hard. Very hard.
I like to think building something small on your own once in a while can be extremely liberating. It can help you keep your sanity and not lose your passion towards software. You pick what to build. Something small. Something new. Something built with your favorite tools, on your favorite platform. Something that can be shipped. Something which takes only you and your machine.
Having problems finding something meaningful to make? Look around you, the most trivial problem can lead to a satisfying little sideproject. Look for things that bother you, and try making them bother you less. Listen to others, maybe you can help solve their problems. Who cares if it already exists in one way or the other? Look for something that looks fun. And just build it.

What I do before writing code is thinking about the testability of my design. Thinking hard.
Design usually means breaking the solution into components (or modules, or whatever you want to call them), figuring out the responsibility of each component and the interactions between them. There are many aspects to consider when judging a certain design, and I add testability as an important first-class criterion. A design that doesn’t lend itself to being tested, is in my view a bad design, so I start thinking about alternatives.
How does a design lend itself to being tested? By being composed of components that can be tested in isolation.
Isolation is extremely important for debugging problems when they unavoidably arise. It is not easy to achieve – good isolation (a.k.a. encapsulation) of components is a kind of holy grail – you never really find the best division into components, you only approximate it.
I think that testability serves as a good guide – components that are easy to test in separation usually make up a pretty good design. This is because testability and isolation usually go hand in hand. The more coupled a design is, the harder it makes testing its components in isolation. As a corollary – when components are easy to test in isolation, the design is well decoupled.

что такое синхронно и что такое асинхронно
When you execute something synchronously, you wait for it to finish before moving on to another task. When you execute something asynchronously, you can move on to another task before it finishes.
That being, said, in the context of computers this translates into executing a process or task on another "thread." A thread is a series of commands--a block of code--that exists as a unit of work. The operating system can manage multiple threads and assign a thread a piece ("slice") of processor time before switching to another thread to give it a turn to do some work. At its core (pardon the pun), a processor can simply execute a command--it has no concept of doing two things at one time. The operating system simulates this by allocating slices of time to different threads.
Now, if you introduce multiple cores/processors into the mix, then things CAN actually happen at the same time. The operating system can allocate time to one thread on the first processor, then allocate the same block of time to another thread on a different processor.
All of this is about allowing the operating system to manage the completion of your task while you can go on in your code and do other things. Asynchronous programming is a complicated topic because of the semantics of how things tie together when you can do them at the same time...

Глобализм и Образование
Как русскому студенту прослушать курсы лекций звезд Стенфорда, Беркли и Йеля.
Возможно вы знаете, что не обязательно платить 50 тысяч долларoв в год чтобы прослушатъ курсы звезд MIT или Стенфорда? Стартовые страницы к систематическим курсам тут, или тут, или тут (много курсов истории, языков, и т.п.) отсылают в сайтам соответствующих Университетов. Среди них MIT (пионер этого дела), Berkeley, Stanford, Yale, Notre Dame, NYU, University of Washington. Курсы адресованы студентов всех уровней, от старшеклассников и первокурсников до аспирантов, их читают известные ученые, например, легендарный Gilbert Strang. Кстати, полулярные видео лекции лучших ученых мира тоже висят в Интернете.
Эти видеокурсы, учебники с emule и торрентов плюс Wiki позволяют умным и мотивированным ребятам получить все лучшее и современное, дома, бесплатно. Валить не обязательно. Подумайте, еще 10 лет назад никому было невозможно прослушать сразу двух лекторов разных Университетов. Утверждалось, что большинство стран навсегда отрезаны от передовой науки из–за неподъемных цен на Университеты и учебники. И вот проблема начала решаться, без Сколково и Фурсенко.
Я очень рекомендую видеокурсы студентам (смотреть параллельно своим курсам), преподавателям (теперь вы nolens volens с ними конкурируете), аспирантам, специалистам и любителям. Пожалуйста, оповестите своих коллег и знакомых студентов и присоединяйтесь сами. Не осталось причин для неученой тьмы.

максимальная длина url
WWW FAQs: What is the maximum length of a URL?
Although the specification of the HTTP protocol does not specify any maximum length, practical limits are imposed by web browser and server software.
Microsoft Internet Explorer (Browser)
Microsoft states that the maximum length of a URL in Internet Explorer is 2,083 characters, with no more than 2,048 characters in the path portion of the URL. In my tests, attempts to use URLs longer than this produced a clear error message in Internet Explorer.
Firefox (Browser)
After 65,536 characters, the location bar no longer displays the URL in Windows Firefox 1.5.x. However, longer URLs will work. I stopped testing after 100,000 characters.
Safari (Browser)
At least 80,000 characters will work. I stopped testing after 80,000 characters.
Opera (Browser)At least 190,000 characters will work. I stopped testing after 190,000 characters. Opera 9 for Windows continued to display a fully editable, copyable and pasteable URL in the location bar even at 190,000 characters.
Apache (Server)
My early attempts to measure the maximum URL length in web browsers bumped into a server URL length limit of approximately 4,000 characters, after which Apache produces a "413 Entity Too Large" error. I used the current up to date Apache build found in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. The official Apache documentation only mentions an 8,192-byte limit on an individual field in a request.
Microsoft Internet Information Server
The default limit is 16,384 characters (yes, Microsoft's web server accepts longer URLs than Microsoft's web browser). This is configurable.

What Happened to Software Engineering?
By Phil Japikse
Over the past few years there has been an evolutionary shift in the world of software development. Not very long ago, the dominant Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodology was the Waterfall Method with very specific phases that separated the construction phase from phases like design and test. The software development industry, still very new, was striving to find a repeatable, predictable process for developing software.
The best model for this seemed to be the physical sciences, like civil engineering and architecture. Artifacts like detailed requirements, design documents, and technical specifications were written and signed off on long before a single line of code was developed, similar to the process used in construction of physical structures like bridges, buildings, roads, and dams.
To further align with the physical sciences, job titles like “Software Engineer” and “Solutions Architect” were adopted.

Computer science has always been a male-dominated field, right?
Wrong.
In 1987, 42% of the software developers in America were women. And 34% of the systems analysts in America were women. Women had started to flock to computer science in the mid-1960s, during the early days of computing, when men were already dominating other technical professions but had yet to dominate the world of computing. For about two decades, the percentages of women who earned Computer Science degrees rose steadily, peaking at 37% in 1984.
In fact, for a hot second back in the mid-sixties, computer programming was actually portrayed as women’s work by the mass media. Check out “The Computer Girls” from the April 1967 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. It appeared between pieces called “The Bachelor Girls of Japan” and “A Dog Speaks: Why a Girl Should Own a Pooch.”
Don't worry, ladies. According to none other than Grace Hopper, programming is just like "planning a dinner."
There were many reasons for the unusual influx of women into computer science. Partly, it was just a result of the rise of the commercial computer industry in general. There was a tremendous need to hire anyone with aptitude, including women. Partly, it was the fact that programming work itself was not yet fully defined as a scientific or engineering field. In fact, many computer science programs were first housed within a variety of departments and colleges, including liberal arts colleges where women had already made cultural inroads. Not least of all — and you knew this was coming — women quickly noticed that some programming work could be done at home while the children were napping.

Microsoft: Thousands Of IT Jobs Going Unfilled
source
Despite the fact that the national unemployment rate is hovering above 9%, hi-tech companies are finding it tougher than ever to fill all of their open positions, a Microsoft official said.
"Filling our talent need remains a serious challenge," said Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith, in testimony this week before the Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees, and Border Security.
Smith said that as of May, Microsoft had 4,551 job openings--including 2,629 computer science positions--but it's taking the company up to 65 days on average to find qualified workers for open spots.
Smith said the problem facing Microsoft and other tech companies has two elements. First, the U.S. educational system is not producing computer scientists and engineers in sufficient numbers to meet domestic demand. "The unemployment problem in the United States is also a skills problem," he said.
The number of computer-related bachelor's degrees awarded by U.S. colleges and universities fell from about 60,000 in 2004 to 38,000 in 2008, said Smith, adding that 60% of individuals who graduated from an American educational institution last year with a Ph.D in computer science were foreign nationals.
Smith said that although the overall unemployment rate is higher than 9%, the rate for IT workers in the U.S. is 4%, below the government's 5% definition of full employment. "What is clear is that our country is operating with a dual unemployment rate." Microsoft this spring provided $6 million to help launch Washington STEM, a privately funded organization that aims to boost student achievement in science, technology, engineering, and math in schools in Washington state.
But the problem goes beyond education, Smith said. Until more Americans are available to fill hi-tech jobs, U.S. immigration policies need to be relaxed to make it easier for companies like Microsoft to import workers to fill the gap. "Our continued ability to help fuel the American economy depends heavily on continued access to the best possible talent. This cannot be achieved, and certainly not in the near term, exclusively through educational improvements to 'skill up' the American workforce."
Microsoft wants the federal government to raise the cap on employment-related green cards, which presently sits at 140,000 per year. It's also pushing for the elimination of country-specific caps that limit the number of individuals that can emigrate from certain countries. The software maker is most concerned that the caps disproportionately affect India and China, both of which have trained millions of new tech workers in just the past few years.

Skype is a portable application, which means it can be run from a USB flash drive, on any PC (even if Skype is not installed on the PC). This is useful when you are traveling and want to use Skype on a publicly available computer, for example, at a hotel, Internet cafe, library, etc.
How to set up Skype to run from a USB flash drive:
- Download Skype and install it on your computer. (or, if you have already installed Skype on your computer, continue to step 2)
- Find skype.exe file where it was installed. (Normally found at C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\skype.exe)
- On your USB drive create a folder and name it "Skype" and copy skype.exe into this folder
- Create another folder in this Skype folder on the USB drive and name it "Data"
- Create a new file in Notepad and name it "skype.bat"
- Open the "skype.bat" file and add the following text:
skype.exe /datapath:"Data" /removable
That's all! Now you are ready to run Skype from your USB drive. Just plug it into any PC and click on the skype.bat file. This will run Skype from your USB drive.
When you're done, exit the Skype program, unplug the USB flash drive and go. Your call history, account settings and other personal Skype settings stay on your USB flash drive, not on the computer. This is a portable, "clean" and secure way to run Skype on any PC, without installing Skype.
Note: The first time you run Skype from your USB drive you will need to log into Skype with your ID and password. On subsequent uses, you will be logged in automatically when you run "skype.bat.

НОВЫЯ АНАНИМКА. ГНЕВНЫЯ
Jul. 14th, 2011 at 5:21 PM
Здравствуйте мои поклонники. Снова с вами я Франц и моё сообщени. Это сообщени будет нерадостное! Решил я Франц написать гневныю ананимку на кошычку Бетти, влюблённыю в Дитриха. В прошлый раз я Франц писал про Бетти в положительном ключе, а сейчас напишу в отрицательном ключе, потому что я весь сиржусь на неё!
Все вы знаете, мои поклонники, что Дитрих кот - мой первый друг, обожает меня и я его тоже. Мы взаимные френды. А кошычка Бетти мешает мне делать суровыю мужскую дружбу с Дитрихом. Дружба наша такая:
Наташынька говорит, что мы с Дитрихом патсаны с раёна. Мы конечно гордимся.

Держите меня семеро
Ой, блядь, они УЕДУТ! Они заговорили об эмиграции. Им не разрешают фоткать. Их обгоняют по встречке. Им хамят азеры. И они решили поугрожать. Они уедут! И их 5-6 млн.
Не смешите. Ваши дедушки по 10 лет ждали, когда их арестовывать придут, и не дернулись уехать даже в соседний город. А когда их везли на Колыму, ждали амнистию и собирали шелуху у лагерной помойки. И это не «быдло», а офицеры, чиновники, интеллегенция… Быдлом стали их внуки. Жирные менты, офисная шваль, путинская гвардия спиногрызов.
Никуда вы не уедете. И не потому что у вас денежек нету. У многих есть.
Почему?
Причины две:

Во всем мире есть только одна страна, в конституции которой официально закреплено право ее граждан на стремление к счастью - США. По совместительству США - правящий мировой гегемон, гигантская империя, держащая за яйца весь мир. Я думаю, что это связано. Я думаю, что сила со справедливостью абсолютно бесполезны, если не ведут к счастью. И еще я думаю, что вести непрекращающиеся неоколониальные войны можно только со счастливыми солдатами, побеждающими угрюмую азиатскую сволочь одним лишь светом своих улыбок. Улыбок, обеспеченных государством.

начало конца
Windows 8: The Beginning of the End of Windows
I have a longstanding rule for evaluating new tech products: Don't judge anything by the demo. I've seen far too many product previews that hid fundamental flaws in usability. Until you can touch and play with the product on your own, seeing the little details of fit and performance that make it delightful or frustrating, you won't really know if it's worth your time.
So it's far too early to make any judgments on Windows 8, which Microsoft just previewed (link). There are an incredible number of ways it could go wrong.
But. I've got to say, this is the first time in years that I've been deeply intrigued by something Microsoft announced. Not just because it looks cool (it does), but because I think it shows clever business strategy on Microsoft's part. And I can't even remember the last time I used the phrase "clever business strategy" and Microsoft in the same sentence.
The announcement also has immense implications for the rest of the industry. Whether or not Windows 8 is a financial success for Microsoft, we've now crossed a critical threshold. The old Windows of mice and icons is officially obsolete. That resets the playing field for everybody in computing.

проверка пароля на надежность
Shown below is the regular expression for password strength with n number of digits, upper case, special characters and at least 12 characters in length.
(?=^.{12,25}$)(?=(?:.*?\d){2})(?=.*[a-z])(?=(?:.*?[A-Z]){2})(?=(?:.*?[!@#$%*()_+^&}{:;?.]){1})(?!.*\s)[0-9a-zA-Z!@#$%*()_+^&]*$
Explanation
(?=^.{12,25}$) -- password length range from 12 to 25, the numbers are adjustable
(?=^.{12,25}$)(?=(?:.*?\d){2})(?=.*[a-z])(?=(?:.*?[A-Z]){2})(?=(?:.*?[!@#$%*()_+^&}{:;?.]){1})(?!.*\s)[0-9a-zA-Z!@#$%*()_+^&]*$
Explanation
(?=^.{12,25}$) -- password length range from 12 to 25, the numbers are adjustable
(?=(?:.*?[!@#$%*()_+^&}{:;?.]){1}) -- at least 1 special characters (!@#$%*()_+^&}{:;?.}) , the number is adjustable
(?=(?:.*?\d){2}) -- at least 2 digits, the number is adjustable
(?=.*[a-z]) -- characters a-z
(?=(?:.*?[A-Z]){2}) -- at least 2 upper case characters, the number is adjustable
насколько эффективны технические интервью
How Effective are Technical Interviews
The worst interview I ever had was a phone screen for an internship, during which two interviewers spewed Java trivia one-liners at me on their speakerphone. At first I felt pretty bad because I wasn't that experienced in Java at that point, and felt that I had done pretty poorly in the interview. I later reasoned that I wouldn't want to intern at a company that didn't probe more deeply into how I tackled problems anyways. That is the extreme end of technical interviews, but I've always wondered how effective technical interviews are at selecting the right people for the job. My suspicion is that people who do well in interviews are generally fine, but that technical interviews may weed out candidates that don't interview well but would actually do a good job.

About Project Euler
What is Project Euler?
Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems.
The motivation for starting Project Euler, and its continuation, is to provide a platform for the inquiring mind to delve into unfamiliar areas and learn new concepts in a fun and recreational context.
