Re: Please review my Java Unicode pitfalls

I made a short example of a few pitfalls the Java programmer might fall into when handling with Unicode text, I'll be glad if the smart folks here would have a look at it, and point out mistakes or missing pitfalls.

The package have no dependencies except JUnit and Hamercrest testing framework. Let me know if something doesn't work out.

thanks anyway.
I assume you run an ARM box?
I'm running a sheevaplug with debian for P2P and squeezebox control.

the box is an seagate dockstar which is actually sheevaplug.
thanks, i'll look into it.


for the others who reply - i also found it strange that i can't save contacts locally on ics
or at least for the rom i installed, which is based on google ics but is not google.
and also for me - the last version i used supported local contacts.

btw, having all on my server is a great solution and is better than locally on the phone anyway.

thanks,
erez.

Hello

I have installed the new android (ics) on my phone, and it does not let me keep contacts on the phone.
only synced with google account or exchange

i do not want my contacts saved on gmail. the only other option is using an exchange server.

if i understand correctly, this means mapi server.

i have a small linux box in my dmz which runs debian. it has no screen or keyboard and i can only connect via ssh.

i use it as an imap4 & smtp server for my domain.

i want to add the other fetures so i can store contacts for my android on it
i would like as well it it is possible to store caleneder events on it.

i saw there is the open-exchange server. however i didn't see it support non x86 and it seems a too big solusion for my requirements.

anybody knows of somthing simpler ?


thanks,
erez.

Headers for network applications : include netinet/* or linux/*

Morning  Dear Listers,

I am looking for the "right" solution for following problem.

I came recently across some of multicast setsockopt() calls that have their
structures defined in /usr/include/linux/ directory.

But you cannot leave without arpa/net  functions such as htons() and alike.

But  when you try to include these files, the comlpilation fails on
symbol redeclaration between netinet/in.h and linux/netinet.h.

The origin of the problem I understand :
kernel exports its interface to include/linux,
whils include/net , include/netinet are libc productions.

It is really strange for me that major distributions did not fix the 
problem,
theer is a bug opened on this issue in uclibc.

http://lists.uclibc.org/pipermail/uclibc-cvs/2011-July/029794.html

I have solved it in a quick and dirty way ( #define NETINED_IN_H, ..)  
but what is a right thing to do ?

Best Day,
Lev

Preparing to convince to shift to non-propriety documents formats

Hi all,

I'm about to meet my daughter's school principal on the subject of the formats of documents the school spreads around routinely, like the weekly schedule. In short - they are using .DOC MS Word format and I don't like it as I cannot cleanly open those documents on my computer (which runs Ubuntu).

Although I'm quite old in the Linux world and probably heard over the years most of them - still I prefer having a refreshment of all the arguments in favor of moving to more open or at least affordable (e.g. PDF) document formats.

Any pointers/text will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Boaz.

[HAIFUX LECTURE] C++ AMP: Microsoft approach for Heterogeneous Computing by Avi Mendelson

On Monday, February 6th at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by Avi Mendelson:

   C++ AMP: Microsoft approach for Heterogeneous Computing

Abstract

C++ AMP (Accelerated Massive Parallelism) is a native programming model that contains elements that span the C++ programming language and its runtime library. The syntactic changes introduced by AMP are minimal, but additional restrictions are enforced to reflect the limitations of data parallel hardware. Data parallel algorithms are supported by the introduction of multi-dimensional array types, array operations on those types, indexing, asynchronous memory transfer, shared memory, synchronization and tiling/partitioning techniques.

=================================================================

We meet in Taub building, room 6. For instructions see:
http://www.haifux.org/where.html

Attendance is free, and you are all invited!

==================================================================
Future lectures:

20/02/2012  Making Hebrew slides with LaTeX and Beamer by Gai Shaked

==================================================================

We are always interested in hearing your talks and ideas. If you wish to give a talk, hold a discussion, or just plan some event haifux might be interested in, please contact us at webmaster-E9S1XMMTbEgdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org

Cat on (RAM) steroids

Hi all,

I need a simple command-line program, which works as a plain FIFO stream 
buffer with a huge RAM. Something I can do:

$ fatcat -b 256M /dev/datasource | ./my_shaky_data_sink

The idea is that "fatcat" reads data whenever available and stores it to 
non-swappable RAM. It then pushes the data to stdout. So it's just like 
good old "cat", only with a potentially large tummy.

Rationale: The (kernel) device /dev/datasource has limited RAM it can 
allocate in kernel space. If data arrives at a high constant rate (say, 
100 MB/sec), the kernel buffers (4 MB total?) overflow rather quickly if 
not constantly drained. A real-life data sink may write the data to a 
disk with sufficient *average* rate, but with breaks every now and then 
to mind its own business.

So if data is loaded into a huge RAM array (what is 256 MB these days?) 
by a high-priority thread (dare I say "real-time"?), there's a good 
chance the kernel buffers are emptied quick enough.

It's rather straightforward to write a program doing this with POSIX 
threads, but why bother if it's already available? After all, I can't be 
the first one in the world with this need.

My own search lead me at best to cstream, which doesn't look like it's 
tailored for solving realtime issues.

Ideas, anyone?

   Eli

Please fix the country mirrors DNS entries of kernel.org

Dear Sirs,

it appears that the DNS aliases in http://www.kernel.org/mirrors/ are not
working. They should be fixed. In addition, you may also wish to list the
non-*.kernel.org hostnames of some of these sites, in case of a DNS problem.

Regards,

	Shlomi Fish

Broken Israeli government websites

What decade do their developers live in?  I have little luck with the
following in Firefox or Chrome.

http://www.govmap.gov.il/viewer.asp - totally broken
https://www.misim.gov.il/svInfoNadlan/ - incredibly broken

Is there any movement afoot to get them to sort it out?

I'm not bigging myself up, but I don't think I'd even know how to
build a site that was broken on popular browsers.

Antony
