Release notes for Guava Release 15.0

From code.google.com - September 9, 2013 6:54 PM

The Guava project contains several of Google's core libraries that we rely on in our Java-based projects: collections, caching, primitives support, concurrency libraries, common annotations, string processing, I/O, and so forth. Each of these tools really do get used every day by Googlers, in production services.


Significant API additions:


common.escape (new)
Escaper, Escapers, various simple Escaper implementations.


common.html (new)
HtmlEscapers


common.xml (new)
XmlEscapers


[...]


common.collect
TreeTraverser, BinaryTreeTraverser

EvictingQueue


[...]

Nico's insight:

Guava. A commons lib to rule them all.

lunr.js - A bit like Solr, but much smaller and not as bright

From lunrjs.com - October 26, 2014 7:03 PM

lunr.js is a simple full text search engine for your client side applications. It is designed to be small, yet full featured, enabling you to provide a great search experience without the need for external, server side, search services.

 

lunr.js has no external dependencies, although it does require a modern browser with ES5 support. In older browsers you can use an ES5 shim, such as augment.js, to provide any missing JavaScript functionality.

Scripting in Java with Janino

Scripting in Java with Janino | hacker zone | Scoop.it
From docs.codehaus.org - October 4, 2014 9:30 AM
Janino is a super-small, super-fast Java™ compiler. Not only can it compile a set of source files to a set of class files like JAVAC, but also can it compile a Java™ expression, block, class bodyor source file in memory, load the bytecode and execute it directly in the same JVM.

JANINO is integrated with Apache Commons JCI ("Java Compiler Interface") and JBoss Rules /Drools.

JANINO can also be used for static code analysis or code manipulation.

JANINO can be configured to use javax.tools.JavaCompiler (available since JDK 1.6), i.e. JAVAC, which removes the Java 5-related limitations.

Nico's insight:

Nice alternative to js/ruby/jpython embedded scripting in the jvm

Why is processing a sorted array faster than an unsorted array?

Why is processing a sorted array faster than an unsorted array? | hacker zone | Scoop.it
From stackoverflow.com - January 6, 2014 11:37 AM

Here is a piece of C++ code that seems very peculiar. For some strange reason, sorting the data miraculously speeds up the code by almost 6x:


[...]


  • Without std::sort(data, data + arraySize);, the code runs in 11.54 seconds.
  • With the sorted data, the code runs in 1.93 seconds.


My first thought was that sorting brings the data into cache, but my next thought was how silly that is because the array was just generated.

What is going on? Why is a sorted array faster than an unsorted array? The code is summing up some independent terms, the order should not matter.

You are the victim of branch prediction fail.

Script tag in JavaScript string

Script tag in JavaScript string | hacker zone | Scoop.it
From stackoverflow.com - December 16, 2013 10:28 AM

I am encountering an issue where having a ending script tag inside a quoted string in JavaScript, and it is killing the script. I assume this is not expected behaviour. An example of this can be seen here:http://jsbin.com/oqepe/edit


----


What happens?

The browser HTML parser will see the </script> within the string and it will interpret it as the end of the script element.

Look at the syntax coloring of this example:

<script> var test = 'foo... </script> bar.....'; </script>

Note that the word bar is being treated as text content outside of the script element...

A commonly used technique is to use the concatenation operator:

var test = '...... </scr'+'ipt>......';
Nico's insight:

It is sometimes amazing how html can be far from common sense.

World Simplest HTML5 WYSISYG Inline Editor | Barney Parker

From www.barneyparker.com - August 28, 2013 5:42 PM

I am pretty new to web/JavaScript development, and often quickly reach for Google in order to find out how to do things.


Recently I needed to add the ability to do some pretty basic in-page editing of content. I didn’t want to use iFrame’s, i didn’t want a hugely featured editor, literally some pretty basic tools to be able to edit content, bold, italic, h1, h2 and so on.

zephyros - The OS X window manager for hackers | hacker zone | Scoop.it
From github.com - July 31, 2013 8:29 AM

Basics


At it's core, Zephyros just runs quietly in your menu bar, and runs your config script. You typically use this script to bind global hot keys to do stuff, often window-manager-type things.


Supported languages



Stuff you can do


  • find the focused window
  • determine window sizes and positions
  • move and resize windows
  • change focus to a given window
  • listen to global events (window created, app launched/killed, etc)
  • transfer focus to the closest window in a given direction
  • run shell scripts
  • open apps, links, or files
  • get free pizza (okay not really)
  • and more!

Today, the Internet Explorer team is launching a new tool to make it easier to test sites in IE regardless of which platform you’re on; seriously!


Don’t believe me? Here are some Vines to show you it in action:


The tool is called RemoteIE and is designed to offer a virtualized version of the latest version of IE. This allows you to test out the latest version of IE without have to have a virtual machine installed.

Jolokia

From www.jolokia.org - October 3, 2014 11:08 AM

Jolokia is a JMX-HTTP bridge giving an alternative to JSR-160 connectors. It is an agent based approach with support for many platforms. In addition to basic JMX operations it enhances JMX remoting with unique features like bulk requests and fine grained security policies.

Nico's insight:

Having to expose internal jmx data to a json-aware dashboard: piece of cake with jolokia which has ready to deploy solutions, but also a nice and clean java API you can put in your custom architecture.

Escaping strings in Bash

From qntm.org - November 12, 2013 9:02 AM

To escape a string for use as a command line argument in Bash, simply put a backslash in front of every non-alphanumeric character. Do not wrap the string in single quotes or double quotes. Escape everything that is non-alphanumeric, including spaces, exclamation marks, dollar signs, ampersands, angle brackets, double quotes and single quotes.
