It’s no surprise considering the ever-increasing number of hours we’re logging, in way too close quarters and under immense performance pressure that our office mates are driving us up the cubicle wall.

Whether it be the empty coffee pot or the gum-smacking intern, the laundry list of office pet peeves is getting longer and longer with people not taking ownership for their actions having the distinction of hitting the number one spot in LinkedIn’s global survey of most irritating office pet peeves. More pet peeves and tips to overcome them after the infographic.

Focus put together this great infographic of salaries for various technical positions in Silicon Valley, noting that there are more tech jobs there than at the apex of the dotcom bubble. (Then again, after more than 10 years of growth, irrespective of bubbles, there ought to be.)

It doesn’t take into account stock-based compensation, but it does take into account cost of living. So that great $92,000 pay in Silicon Valley will only buy you as much as $59,000 in San Diego. Worth keeping in mind.

MongoDB

MongoDB

During my investigation for a Database service application I found a DB engine which response to many behavior I needed to have a generic DB Service :

  • Document-oriented storage » JSON-style documents with dynamic schemas offer simplicity and power.
  • Full Index Support » Index on any attribute, just like you’re used to.
  • Replication & High Availability » Mirror across LANs and WANs for scale and peace of mind.
  • Auto-Sharding » Scale horizontally without compromising functionality.
  • Querying » Rich, document-based queries.
  • Fast In-Place Updates » Atomic modifiers for contention-free performance.
  • Map/Reduce » Flexible aggregation and data processing.
  • GridFS » Store files of any size without complicating your stack.

Qt 4 D-Bus Tutorial

DBus-based IPC has been intregrated nicely in the Qt framework. Qt also provides Adaptors and Interfaces to communicate with remote objects, so you don’t have to manually constructQDBusMessages. These Adaptors and Interfaces are very similar to the Stubs and Proxies used in other RPC mechanisms like Corba and RMI.

So, Qt provides a way to talk to objects in a different process and it contains Adaptors and Interfaces to do so in a nice, object-oriented way. A number of types can be marshaled and unmarshaled by default, (QString, QPoint, QRect, etc.), so you can just use those in DBus-enabled classes without extra effort.

However, using a custom type is somewhat more complicated, as you need to tell Qt how to handle it. That is what this tutorial is about.

An example was created to go along with this tutorial. It is a very basic chat application that communicates through the session DBus.

No body like advertisements. I hate them too. Especially those in TV shows which took more than 5 minutes. Therefore, I seldom watch TV as we cannot do much on them. However, it is not true in Internet world. We are able to remove advertisements on PC. And now on Android phone too.

zepto.js Mobile javascript framework

Zepto.js is a minimalist JavaScript framework for mobile WebKit browsers, with a jQuery-compatible syntax.

The goal: a 2k library that handles most basic drudge work with a nice API so you can concentrate on getting stuff done.

Interesting numbers from the article (library sizes in bytes):


jQuery 1.4.3         : 180,477 uncompressed, 77,745 minified, 26,711 minified and gzipped
Prototype 1.7_rc3    : 160,122 uncompressed, 86,919 minified, 26,617 minified and gzipped
Zepto.js (2010/10/27): 8,788 uncompressed,    5,816 minified,  2,368 minified and gzipped

These numbers are not strictly comparable, as jQuery and Prototype offer features that are not in Zepto.js, and are not design goals of Zepto.js. But what it adds up to is that Zepto.js is about 10 times smaller than jQuery or Prototype, yet provides a large subset of the features those libraries offer, thanks to all the goodness of advanced JavaScript and new DOM features in mobile WebKit browsers.
