C++ Network Library 0.5
By leveraging the Boost C++ Libraries, and in particular Boost.Asio, developers can create portable network C++ applications much more easily. What is still lacking is a set of libraries that utilise Boost.Asio in order to provide application level support so that C++ developers are able to develop internet and distributed applications more effectively. This is the niche that the developers of the C++ Network Library see their project filling.

The Chess Master and the Computer By Garry Kasparov

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 11:50:18 +1100

http://www.nybooks.com/articles/23592

By the mid-1990s the number of people with some experience of using computers was many orders of magnitude greater than in the 1960s. In the Kasparov defeat they recognized that here was a great triumph for programmers, but not one that may compete with the human intelligence that helps us to lead our lives.

…

Excelling at chess has long been considered a symbol of more general intelligence. That is an incorrect assumption in my view, as pleasant as it might be.

…

The “freestyle” result, though startling, fits with my belief that talent is a misused term and a misunderstood concept. The moment I became the youngest world chess champion in history at the age of twenty-two in 1985, I began receiving endless questions about the secret of my success and the nature of my talent. Instead of asking about Sicilian Defenses, journalists wanted to know about my diet, my personal life, how many moves ahead I saw, and how many games I held in my memory.

The thing that many people may not understand initially is that these bugs arenot “steady all the time” as you put it. I literally spends hours and hours each day photographing bugs, and I often get nothing at all. I took 182 photos of just one spider recently over a period of about 4 hours - and I maybe got less than 10 good photos of him.

There is no trickery involved in my photography - just extreme patience and perseverance. I have to understand the behaviour of the arthropods, how to approach them, how they will react to the flash etc, etc…

Movie: District 9 (4.9/5)

Loved it!

Good+strong story, great visuals. Humans are humans (greedy, beastly, arrogant, naive), aliens are not too aliens, but it doesn’t really matter, their purpose is to be different, the story concentrates on the human reaction.

Not 5 star because I almost got sick watching it. The camera is shaking like crazy, which I guess is part of the documentary style, but I hate it (ruined Public Enemies too).

“how smart people need to find a certain amount of intellectual challenge from day to day. If they don’t find it in their workplace, they’ll end up playing complex, ‘smart’ games, like Civilization IV or Chess — and if they do find it in their workplace, they’re more likely to sit down with a nice game of Pac-Man, Katamari Damacy, or Peggle”

“Researchers (Bloom (1985), Bryan & Harter (1899), Hayes (1989), Simmon & Chase (1973)) have shown it takes about ten years to develop expertise in any of a wide variety of areas, including chess playing, music composition, telegraph operation, painting, piano playing, swimming, tennis, and research in neuropsychology and topology. The key is deliberative practice: not just doing it again and again, but challenging yourself with a task that is just beyond your current ability, trying it, analyzing your performance while and after doing it, and correcting any mistakes. Then repeat. And repeat again. There appear to be no real shortcuts: even Mozart, who was a musical prodigy at age 4, took 13 more years before he began to produce world-class music. In another genre, the Beatles seemed to burst onto the scene with a string of #1 hits and an appearance on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964. But they had been playing small clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg since 1957, and while they had mass appeal early on, their first great critical success, Sgt. Peppers, was released in 1967.”

Movie: Angels & Daemons (2/5)

Week story + characters. The plot is clear from the beginning, the only question is who is the bad guy. Running up and down in Rome is not really an adventure and the only thrill is that will someone be hit by their car or not.

Film: Valami Amerika 2 (3/5)

Egy rossz film figuráit is meg lehet szeretni. A harmadik csillag részben ennek köszönhető (+ nagyon jól nézett ki a film DVDn, grat a Colorfront-osoknak). A történet a Bűnös város szintjén van (amit ugyen nem látunk, de hasonlóan szörnyű lehetett), s néhány alakítás sem túl eredeti, de ez talán a mondanivaló hiányának volt köszönhető.

Péntek esti frász

Fri, 22 May 2009 18:42:56 +1000

Szitu: ülök a piros lámpánál, bambulok jobbra balra, lapos terepen, nyugi van. Egyszercsak elkezd a kocsi hátrafelé gurulni! Reflexből jobbláb tolja a féket, nodeh a jobbláb már a féken van, nincs hova tovább, ekkor jön a szívroham, s pár pillanattal később a felismerés.

Egy szép nagy tartálykocsi alatt nézelődtem át, ami azt jelentette, hogy a teljes látóterem kiöltötte, így mikor az elindult, azt hittem én megyek. Gyorsan előre tekintettem, de közel volt az előttem álló, így ez nem segített eldönteni mi is van, gyors jobbra nézés, s a fák álltak az út mellett, szal minden rendben.

Azért egy-két pillanatig megállt bennem az ütő :).

sáros lett az új cipőm (újra, linkekkel)

Mon, 18 May 2009 12:42:44 +1000

Még hajdanán vettem egy remek futó cipőt, melyet futásra nem igazán használtam, viszont minden más sportoláshoz tökéletes volt. Nemrégiben újra nekiálltam futással próbálkozni, s hatalmas hólyag lett a vége, sajnos a passzos méret futáshoz nem optimális. Fáj - nem fáj, ha futni akarok új cipő kell.

A vásárlás nagyon pozitív élmény volt. A boltban természetesen rengeteg féle cipő volt, de egy eladót kerítve megindult a cipő kiválasztási procedúra. Első körben utcai cipő le, irány a láb lenyomat analizáló ketyerére, először súly eloszlás mérés (50-50%, de ezt már egy Wii-Fit is megmondta), majd oda egy oda vissza sétálással és egy görbe segítségével megtudjuk, hogy semleges lábam vagyon (hurrá, leharmadoltuk a cipő választékot gyorsan). Következő lépésként megmérték a lábam (hossz+szélesség) és hoztak 3 db cipellőt (Nike,Asics,Saucony). Mielőtt még felpróbáltam volna kaptam egy sport zoknit is, mivel azoknak vastagabb a talpazata, így módosíthatja az élményt (a zoknit nem kellett megvenni, csak kölcsönbe adták próbálni, műanyag zacsiban érkezett, frissen mosva). Első körben Asics+Nike a lábra, Asics azonnal kiesett, keskeny volt az orra, maradt Nike+Saucony. A két cipő szinte teljesen egyforma érzést nyújtott, az egyetlen különbség az volt, hogy a Nike orra meredekebb volt, így kicsit stabilabb állást biztosított, cserébe a Saucony könnyedén gördült előre, ami futáshoz előnynek tűnt, így őrá esett a választás. Tudom mindenkinek ajánlani az The Athletes Foot szaküzleteit ha nem tudják pontosan milyen cipő is lenne jó.

Ma reggel megvolt a próba is, s az eredmény meggyőző. Nem fut helyettem, de jó futni vele.
