In Lviv are asked to give Java the status of a regional language *



MOV parasti vinogradno Lozi,
Placate Java pil th neustanno!

Despite the fact that this news lies in the plane of humor (and to some extent even political satire), you cannot bypass it attention. I took to piece together and translate some of these fun materials that today walk on the UAнету.



It all started with the website UaReview — which regularly publishes fictional news. As usual, part of the online media picked up the baton and published the news. In short, it was about a fictional Lviv programmer Vitaly Popov, who wrote in his petition to the Lviv city Council:

"Lviv belongs to the cities with highly developed IT-cluster, – says the programmer, I and my colleagues regularly use the Java language, and it is natural that some words, phrases and even whole sentences into Ukrainian, we began to replace the counterparts of this programming language. Besides, since 1995, Java is rapidly gaining popularity now a Java virtual machine can be found on the Rover and household appliances. If the city Council of the city of Lviv will accept our petition, it will become a precedent. I admit that our colleagues writing in C#, C++ or PHP will require the status of a regional language for them."

However, following this, is a real programmer Oleksiy Khilkevich (as it turned out he 1ex) registered a petition to the Lviv city Council demanding: "Provide the Java language the status of regional in Lviv!". The petition currently signed by more than 160 1000 1150.

"Highly skilled Java-programmers are in absolute minority of the population, and feeling pressure from society, deprived of the right to communicate in their native language, which they are forced to use one or more other languages.

There are cases when programmers could not name their children common in the Java community names (Gosling, Bloch, Systems, Object, Thread, Pescod — the most famous examples among many). Also according to a recent study in the city of Lviv there is no secondary school where students could learn Java, is a clear violation of their constitutional rights to education in their native language," the statement says.

"Recognition Java regional language ensure the protection of the right Java programmers to communicate in their native language will give them legal protection to use it in cases of legal proceedings when dealing with local authorities and in everyday life. On a national scale, this will also contribute to a more comprehensive and deeper development of national IT-industry, will raise the General level of education in the country and strengthen the role of Ukraine as a state with a high innovation potential".

If you support the idea of giving Java the status of a regional language, a petition it's not too late to sign :)

Briefly on how to make your Qt geoservice plugin

+ =? The next step after GPS module , became its practical application in my project. Maybe someone this post will be more interesting. First, some source data: Required: the Offline mapping service the Integration with QML Features: the the libosmscout — library providing the OSM data in the wrapper with the friendly API the Qt5Location with dev branch summary of the previous 160 series In Qt since time immemorial was a wonderful beam-process QtMobility and he was so wonderful that he lived, he lived, and bent. Yes, of course, he is still here, and even used my N9 and someone's Blackberry, but the fact that Digia will no longer support this API at all. But in Digia are working not fools, they gradually started to pull the pieces QtMobility in Qt5. One such component is a QtLocation. In Qt 5.3, you can see only a piece QtLocation, QtPositioning which refers to Digia. I must say nice stuff, gave her the NMEA from the local socket, and she'

Database replication PostgreSQL-based SymmetricDS

In this article I will tell how to configure database replication for PostgreSQL. For the experiments we use a distribution of Linux CentOS 5.3, although this is not essential. we will use a version of PostgreSQL 8.4.7 and SymmetricDS-2.2.2. What is replication? In fact, it is a mechanism to automatically synchronize the contents of databases running on different servers. As a result of replication of these databases contain absolutely identical data. This is necessary for example in order to provide fault tolerance system (in the case of the fall of the first database server, the work enters the second), or to implement load balancing, different customers can serve different server. For replication you need at least two database servers, so prepare two identical servers with a PostgreSQL database on each. The first is the IP address 10.0.2.20, the second — 10.0.2.21, both gateway 10.0.2.2. You can do a virtual machine like VirtualBox to create two virtual servers and run

Yandex.Widget + adjustIFrameHeight + MooTools

Изображение
Many people know about this cool thing Yandex.Widget . To make your widget be easy enough to write server-side widget and connect it to Yandex.Widget via iframe . To control the widget Yandex offers APIs in a JS object widget , particularly with the help of it you can change the height of the frame under dynamic content (adjustIFrameHeight), it allows to get rid of the vertical scroll bar. But this API has a significant drawback — it is written using jQuery , which deprives developers of widgets for MooTools to use the Widget API. Below I will show how quite simple it is possible to bypass the Widget API to control the height of the frame using MooTools on the side of the widget. As we know from the contents of the frame it is impossible to access the object frame itself, if they are on different domains. To bypass this limitation, a proxy Widget API uses an iframe using hash (the content after # in the src of the frame) which provides for the exchange of comma
