Adobe AIR documentation

What's this? I can see the xxx's all over the place.
Is it a suggestion that I should creat a pr0n app? (Which is quite good idea, because pr0n === money).

Spiders

(Spider + iPod Touch) * {lots} = profit Yesterday we (that's Steve at http://whilefalse.net and me) had an idea of a startup - all we need is quite big number of big spiders and lots (probably equal number) of iPod Touch thingies.
Then - we build an simple app which will take the input from spider legs. Each button will generate either 1 or 0 which means that each spider-ipodtouch combo will generate 1 byte of information at a time. Then we put it all together.
That's a lot!
Now multiply this by number of spider-touches and you can easily beat the typing monkeys crew.
Maybe we can find a cure for cancer and Britney's next hit song in all that data?

PyramiDOM: Spectrum DOM Analyzer

Looks awesome :-)

via Ajaxian » Front Page by Dion Almaer on 7/31/09

Andrea Giammarchi has created PyramiDOM a “Spectrum DOM Analyzer”. When I first saw it, and read “Spectrum” I thought I was looking at an old 48k video game, but in fact it is showing you info on the DOM:

The generated spectrum will contain every single nodeType 1 present in the document and will show via tooltip info about that node (nodeName, id if present, className if present). Moreover, it highlights somehow that node temporary changing the background (yellow one). The most wicked effect was in jQuery website itself, since it is dark, and since it is linear enough (you scroll and the spectrum is almost there where you scroll).

On the other hand, the most interesting spectrum was in Gmail, where you can spot a proper pyramid of nested divs. Each nodeName will have the same color, but for practical reasons each time this color will be different (random).

You can grab this PyramiDOM link to play.

R programming language

The assignment operator in R is <- as in

e <- m*c^2.

It is also possible, though uncommon, to reverse the arrow and put the receiving variable on the right, as in

m*c^2 -> e.

It is sometimes possible to use = for assignment, though I don't understand when this is and is not allowed. Most people avoid the issue by always using the arrow.

Looks like I’m not going to learn this language.

Coding Horror: Nobody Hates Software More Than Software Developers

When people say "this sucks" they mean one or more of the following:

  • This doesn't do what I need
  • I can't figure out how to do what I need
  • This is unnecessarily frustrating and complex
  • This breaks all the time
  • It's so ugly I want to vomit just so I have something prettier to look at
  • It doesn't map to my understanding of the universe
  • I'm thinking about the tool, instead of my work

This article doesn't suck. If you are a software developer - read it. Now
