Comment on SEMAT: Software Engineering Method and Theory by Tedd

I am a bit disappointed though that SEMAT does not make explicit the overweight representation of “Object Orientation” in our industry. This is because OO does not let you “code” your solution with semantics aligned with the class of solution you are building

Comment on Erlang ring problem by David Grenier

Hello,

The following implementation in C# using Rx.NET runs in 1min58 in LINQPad on quad core Q6600@2.4ghz:

var listeners =
Enumerable.Range(0, 10000)
.Select(_ => new Subject(Scheduler.TaskPool))
.MemoizeAll();

listeners.Publish(o => o.Zip(o.Skip(1), (l, r) => new { l, r}))
.Run(o => o.l.Subscribe(o.r));

Observable
.Range(0, 10000)
.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1000))
.Subscribe(listeners.First());

listeners.Last().Last().Dump();

I also have the following F# implementation running in 50s on the same machine (F# interactive):

type Agent = MailboxProcessor

let count = 10000
let now = System.DateTime.Now

Agent.Start (fun inbox ->
async {
while true do
let! msg = inbox.Receive()
if msg = count then
printfn “%A” (System.DateTime.Now – now).TotalMilliseconds })
|> Seq.unfold (fun next ->
let agent = Agent.Start (fun inbox ->
async {
while true do
let! msg = inbox.Receive()
next.Post msg } )
Some (agent, agent))
|> Seq.nth count
|> (fun agent -> for i in 1..count do agent.Post i)

Both code seems to scale pretty well versus the timing I had on my dual core laptop at work (T7400), although I only remember the time for the C#-Rx version at 5min50.

Hi there,

I’m building a site for The Nerve Centre, a place in Huddersfield UK, which supports people with neurological conditions. As such your plugin is very useful. )

My problem is that it doesn’t appear on the homepage. Is there a way of getting it to appear on every page? Some of our users are visually impaired so it would be great to have this option as soon as they arrive.

Thanks a lot, Andy

Hello thanks for this great plugin, it is the best one that is available for WordPress. One feature would make it utterly perfect, and that is a class id for the selected textsize in the “Steps” view. So that a user can see directly which fontsize is selected. Do you have any tip for me how this can be accomplished? Thanks in advance!

Hi…
Nice Plugin. But it doesnt work for me fine. I am using wordpress version 3.0.4 and default theme “Twenty Ten 1.1 by the WordPress team”. When I use Div base element as “content”, it changes the size of post content only, when I use DIV base element as “wrapper”, it changes size of heading of right sidebar only. Can you please help me which elementshoul I use in Div base element so that it will increase and decrease the font-size of whole page.

Thanks,
Sulekha

Comment on Transparency in Software Development by Surge

“you must be politically astute, but don’t play politics“.

This is a great quote thanks to Ferdy for posting it. I have found office politics to be difficult to deal with. And it has become more so with the economy going the way it is.
I found this in another blog and found it extremely beneficial to me; “Software transparency is immediate visibility into the quality and security of all code in development, without disrupting the development process”. I must say that transparency is a great idea but the implementation of it could be rather a kaotic one and dealing with that kaos would make it even more befuddling. How do you not do this though. The client is hard enough to understand and get answers out of, in some cases. Without doing some kind of transparency you might have a useless instance. Creating trancparnecy is a canundrum. Thanks for the post.

I just found it and really like how easy it makes it for changing font size. It’s cool that you guys offer this for free also. Thanks!
