Mac is on BSD!

First time experience BSD's power on networking project. Comparing to Linux's up to 10% tcpdump package loss, BSD is ZER0!
And Mac is built base on BSD! What a amazing discovery.

blogger is unblocked?

I did a search of "bad file descriptor" and found my block listing No.3!
What's more, I can open it!

Don't use directly the sample code in your real life project

most sample code doesn't handle error, the simply show you how to use a function.
of course they use their functions correctly, but they may need others' functions to make their functions run. Here is the problem, they may not use others right.

One Anti-Piracy System to Rule Them All

By Brad Stone

Tags: Audible Magic, digital fingerprinting, MPAA, vobile

Hollywood appears to have a preliminary winner in its bake-off of anti-piracy technologies.

For the last year, the film industry, through its Palo Alto-based R&D joint venture MovieLabs, has been testing a dozen so-called “digital fingerprinting” technologies. The technology purports to scan file sharing sites, Internet providers and peer-to-peer networks to identify copyrighted material.
fingerprinting technologies“Fingerprinting Performance” (Leonard Kleinrock, 2007)

Yesterday in Los Angeles, people affiliated with the Motion Picture Association of America talked about the ongoing tests at a day-long anti-piracy workshop that the MPAA co-hosted with the University of California. In his introductory keynote at the event, UCLA professor and Internet pioneer Leonard Kleinrock showed a single slide that suggested that one of the anti-piracy filtering companies had outperformed the other 11, with the highest number of matches of infringing content and lowest number of false-positives. But professor Kleinrock and MPAA execs declined to name the participating companies or who had scored best on the test, saying that secrecy was a precondition for their participation in the tests.

Nevertheless, afterwards, executives from Santa Clara, Calif-based Vobile were crowing in the hallways of the Universal Hilton Hotel.

The two-year old company’s technology, called Video DNA, has apparently bested others from the Royal Philips Electronics, Thomson Software & Technology, and the highest profile digital fingerprinting company, the Los Gatos, Calif.-based Audible Magic, which has deals to filter video sharing sites like YouTube and Microsoft’s Soapbox.

The MPAA told Business Week in the spring that Vobile was doing “very well” on the tests.

Movie Labs stress-tested the anti-piracy systems by loading hundreds of hours of copyrighted video content into the databases of the various filters, and then by flooding them with thousands of video files, some distorted, darkened and cropped, to try to scuttle their ability to find matches.

In the next phase of the ongoing tests, MovieLabs will see if the systems can handle ever larger quantities of copyrighted works. Theoretically, adding more songs, TV shows and movies in their databases could slow down these systems—and the Internet video sites that use them— since it could take longer to find possible matches.

MovieLabs has been sharing tests results with its member movie studios since the summer. MovieLabs chief executive Steve Weinstein says the technology is ready for prime time. “In a year you’re going to see many Internet companies using it. This technology has shown its viability.”

is the rumer ture? Google will use flash to cross platform

Google is going to occupy all OS platform by flash? It doesn't need its own operating system to compete with Microsoft / MacOS / Linux. But with flash, its software can run every where, also in mobile phone!

I just saw gtalk in flash..

what I did last year?

C code : 13000 lines
Java code : 8000 lines

for the last week...I wrote 4000 lines C++!! and more work are coming.

don't abuse OS's cache

I was writing a simple program, open a file, read the data. Each data structure is n bytes.
At first, I read it once a block (n bytes). I think it is fastest, because when I read the first block, OS should cache the whole page ( i.e. 4K) for future use. So when I fetch the next block, it doesn't need to load from hard-disk.
But when I change the reading method, each time reads 4K in to buffer, then separate from buffer, the speed boost up like 10 times.
Why? I think the reason lies in when you ask OS to load data, it will invoke system call, then Interrupt, and the OS copy the data from kernel mode to user mode for your use. This also cost time.

direction of computing

Moshe Bar, openMosix founder and project leader, also engage Xen, KVM, has decided to close openMosix, and focus on single machine's computing.

Hmm, I have loved both three technology, was hoping openMosix can turn hundreds of old machine into a super power computer.

But now, hardware development out weight the software. multi-cpu, multi-core has gained more attention. I hope this can give us unlimited computing power.

Summary: openMosix Project End of Life Announcement

Tel Aviv (July 15, 2007) - openMosix Project Ending

Moshe Bar, openMosix founder and project leader, has announced plans to end the openMosix Project effective March 1, 2008.

The increasing power and availability of low cost multi-core processors is rapidly making single-system image (SSI) Clustering less of a factor in computing. The direction of computing is clear and key developers are moving into newer virtualization approaches and other projects.

openMosix has been a very successful project with tens of thousands of installations. Another measure of this success is found in the many projects that have incorporated openMosix into their own products.

openMosix’ Auto-Discovery innovation paved the way for the Instant SSI Clusters that soon exploded the number of cluster installations. Instant Clusters made installation and setup automatic for the non-computer specialist and for the first time brought significant computing power to many researchers worldwide.

openMosix also broke new ground in Operating Systems theory including important lessons learned in Distributed Shared Memory and other challenging areas. Many individuals have learned Linux kernel development through openMosix which has been used in computing curriculum, laboratories, and research.

openMosix source will remain on SourceForge indefinitely, frozen as of March 1st, 2008. The openMosix website will remain open until March 1st, 2008 and the openMosix-Devel List will close as of December 1, 2007.

Moshe Bar stated that, “I wish to thank all the users and developers who enthusiastically supported openMosix and made the project such a success.”

Project website is http://www.openmosix.org/

openMosix is a Linux kernel extension for single-system image (SSI) clustering that allows building a cluster from ordinary networked computers. Applications benefit without modification specifically for openMosix.

auto generate code using UML

hum, finally feel why drawing UML is helpful. since it can generate code (the dumpy and duplicate part), release programmer's work. And you have a cool drawing and deep thought before coding. :)

ps: I use open source tool dia to draw UML, and it can generate code. or use dia2code.

automatic test for http interface

Ha~ I wrote a AJAX web page last night, which will run several cases, each post different data to my fcgi program, and check the return value, then output PASS or FAIL. And a simple synchronize for separate running tests.
That make QA life easier.

use rude::cgi in fastCGI

rude::cgi was designed for CGI. when I put it in use for my fastCGI program, I make it a patch.
1) rude::cgi use singleton pattern , which doesn't work under fastCGI, because fcgi need to create new instance each time to parse new request. So I modify rude's constructor and destructor, make it destroy the instance after use.
2)fastCGI replace the stdio.h, and most of its functions. so where rude::cgi uses stdio.h, put #include before #include . that will work.

I am enjoying fast speed of fastcgi, while easy programming with rude::cgi.


ps:I have tried to use qDecoder, also patch a similar modification, but it doesn't work for fcgi (giving a signal 11, SIGSEG ). but it works under cgi mode. I have no idea.

Isolate your problem when debug

When you combine your code with the others, and it crashes, you should isolate your code and the other's to reproduce the crash. so that you can find the spot.

想一下你考虑一下亚马逊、雅虎这些网站，如果这些网站没有用户的话，那么这些网站就 什么都不是了。网站一开始是和报纸一样的，提供信息，有人来看。这是单向的交流，但是现代的网络来说，它比之前要更简单来维护了，因此你只需要有很多的理 念和环境，很好的气氛，这样每个人在你网站上的点击都可以帮助你把网站变得更好。受关注程度越来越高，所以每次用户的互动可以使网站变得更好。说道雅虎问 答的网站，也变得越来越好了。

feedback 在计算机发展中有着很重要的地位，从小小的精元到庞大的系统，都是依靠feedback是运行更精确.
