I absolutely agree with the author! Remembering programming GUI applications in 90th it feels that there is a huge regression. Just to add, it is not enough to know 1 single programming language - you need 4: HTML (not really programming bu

I liked channel 9 lectures on functional programming: http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Going+Deep/Lecture-Series-Eri... It helped me to start programming in Haskell after I got stuck with a book.

Looking up in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_magnitude_scale the Richter Scale "is a base-10 logarithmic scale obtained by calculating the logarithm of the combined horizontal amplitude (shaking amplitude) ...". This means that a Ri

Your comment made me look up Plan 9 on wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_9_from_Bell_Labs ). I like very much the philosophy of Plan 9 and the evolution from the Unix base and it is really a pitty that Plan9 did not have much su

Great write-up! Basically a person that was using more than 20 years of Lisp successfully and considered Lisp allowing higher productivity admits that there are now other languages that allows higher productivity than Lisp. At the end when

I did not know that Android does not support SVG. What's the reason?

The presentation reads as a nice advertisement for Clojure. I do not like Clojure because it runs on JVM and all the Java stuff leaves a bitter taste in my mouth - it is a language that was forced down our throats by industry. If they reall

I have been using XML Starlet ( http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/ ) for many years in combination with Unix Shell. It is a very nice command line tool allowing to extract data from XML documents (using XPath expressions), to edit XML document

Funny that only 2 commercial compilers are fully supporting C99 standard: IBM Rational logiscope >= 6.4 and Sun Studio.

Many thanks for the link! I did not expect PHP and Ruby to be so slow... I am happy to see that Haskell gets better support for Web programming.

How do other non-Haskell Web-Servers perform? Is there somewhere a pong benchmark, say for Tomcat, PHP?

For me ThinkPad is the product that represents IBM best to public - the "Think" in the logo, the feeling at the fingertips when you type, the timeless design, the trackpoint. There was also OS/2 but IBM blew it up badly. Now that ThinkPad b

"The German economy has hugely benefited from a cheap euro" - this is complete crap. It is the first time I hear that the euro is cheap. If the euro is so cheap why it did not benefit to other countries? If the euro is so cheap why is Franc

I had to do it several times to collect data from HTML pages, to put the data in a small DB for further analysis. At the end I cam up with a shell script using following UNIX/cygwin tools: 1.) curl to download the HTML side to a file; 2.) i

Unfortunately the tools that are proposed are just for plain text log files. None of them supports XML :( Waiting for more/other propositions.

Hello again, I tried it out. On the positive side is that it is an awesome tool, providing a mixture of SQL query syntax and XPath for parsing XML files. It supports as well quite a big set of input (not only XML files) formats. On the nega

Thanks again! This is exactly what I wanted. I'll give a try to the LogParser and the tools that are on stackoverlow and will publish here what is the best one for my needs.

Then I will end up to write for each task that I will have a small script in language X or Z. Whereas all I need is using a command line to extract data in flat text. You can have a look at the tool xmlstarlet ( http://xmlstar.sourceforge.n

Many thanks! This is definitely worth looking into! Any similar tool for Unix environment?

This is a library, for which I would have to develop my stuff. What I need is a ready to use command line tool that preferably accepts XPath expressions to select the data elements that I want to extract (as xmlstarlet). I am not interested

Where are command line tools to extract data from huge XML files?
