In het artikel nieuws: Politie Utrecht zoekt mogelijke slachtoffers van vervalste lcd-tv's staat bijvoorbeeldDe gearresteerde personen hielden vol dat zij het toestel voor 35 euro op de zwarte markt hadden gekocht, maar de politie nam de tv in beslag omdat zij heling vermoedde. Bij nadere inspectie op het politiebureau bleek de televisie echter een vakkundig gemaakte vervalsing.Vervolgens komen er reacties van mensen die a) hebben geconcludeerd dat de personen de neptelevisie voor 35 euro probeerden te verkopen of b) de kritiek leveren dat het dus geen heling is. Vervolgens zijn er diverse reacties en discussies met de strekking "dat klopt niet" en raken de reacties behoorlijk vervuild met het soort offtopic geouwehoer als in dit weblog te lezen valt. Lieve mensen, doe eens je best om de goede reacties niet zo onder te laten sneeuwen met al die irrelevante onzin? Je kan je prima een keer vergissen, maar een artikel half scannen, denken dat je iets zinnigs te zeggen hebt en dan niet het artikel eerst grondig lezen is gewoon luiheid. Dat er gemodereerd kan worden betekent niet dat je dan maar iedere gedachte neer mag schrijven. Dat geldt overigens voor meer brainfarts: als je niet verwacht dat iemand het +1 gaan geven, laat het dan gewoon zitten.

Ik kan er honderden voorbeelden van bedenken, maar eentje uit persoonlijke ervaring spreekt waarschijnlijk meer tot de verbeelding. Afgelopen vrijdag belde mijn vriendin een autoverhuurder om een Ford Transit te huren, om zaterdag haar spullen van haar studentenkamer naar mijn appartement te verhuizen. De transportboer in kwestie had er geen meer, maar had er nog wel een die een slagje groter (en duurder) was. Eerst maar de buurman gebeld, die helaas ook net de laatste 6 kuubs Transit de deur uit gedaan had. De eerste uitlener van ingeblikte verbrandingsmotoren weer gebeld en de groter versie gehuurd, spullen vlot verhuisd en tadaa, het samenwonen is een feit. Dat is echter bijzaak. Het interessante is dat mijn vriendin opmerkte: wel toevallig, dat ze allebei net die Transit's niet meer hebben. Toen dacht ik: nee, dat is helemaal niet toevallig. Elkaar beconcurrerende autoverhuurders die goed bezig zijn, zullen samen precies zoveel wagens hebben als ze kunnen verhuren. Als je vrijdag belt en ze hebben nog ruime keus, dan zou ik snel een efficiënter verhuurbedrijf in de buurt beginnen. De nog interessantere vervolgvraag is: waarom wekken dit soort situaties een gevoel van 'toevalligheid' op? Waarom komt het gevoel boven dat de situatie onwaarschijnlijk is en dat het universum samenspant om je te begunstigen of te benadelen? Is het omdat de patroonherkennende machinerie in ons hoofd gewoon niet verwacht dat alles in zo'n simpele, elegante verklaring samenvalt? Dat het berekend is op de chaos van de jacht, van het overleven in een natuur met ontzettend veel onvoorspelbare factoren en dat het gewoon niet is voorbereid op de onszelf begunstigende structuur die millenialang vooruitziend samenleven tot stand heeft gebracht?

Please, come and visit our wonderful webapp at http://company.com/thisapp/com.company.app.module/Module.html... very attractive... Of course, you can have http://company.com/thisapp/ redirect there, but still. Fortunately, there is an easy way to shorten the URL, as explained in this not so aptly named thread in the Google Groups group on GWT. If you choose a decent module name, you end up with http://company.com/module/Module.html, which is acceptable. If you use the maven-gwt plugin to build your project, you need to modify both the compile targets and the run target to code:1 2 3 4 <compileTargets> <value>Module</value> </compileTargets> <runTarget>Module/Module.html</runTarget> Java http://confusion.tweakblogs.net/blog/1189/nicer-shorter-gwt-urls.html#reacties http://confusion.tweakblogs.net/blog/1189 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 11:18:30 GMT http://confusion.tweakblogs.net/blog/1184/converting-a-certificate-+-key-to-a-usable-java-keystore.html Today I was researching the obstacles I would encounter while upgrading the Resin Application Server from 2.1 to 3.1. One of the things that came up was that OpenSSL support is no longer supported in the open source version: you would have to buy a license to enable the JNI bindings to OpenSSL. However, JSSE is also supported as the SSL connection handler, so I decided to find out what was involved in switching from OpenSSL to JSSE. That proved to be quite easy, with a Java 6 JDK that already includes a configured JSSE library. The largest problem was converting the certificate + key to a Java keystore. For everyone that may one day have to solve this problem: First put the certificate and the key in a pkcs12 keystore: code:1 openssl pkcs12 -export -out dev.pkcs12 -in dev.crt -inkey dev.key then convert the keystore to a JKS keystore, using the Java keytool: code:1 2 keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore dev.pkcs12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore dev.keystore This example involves a self-signed certificate; if you need to include CA certificaties or certificate chains, the process is slightly more complicated, but probably not very, as you can use openssl to perform all the hard steps. If I encounter any problems when I do that, I will let you know . On a sidenote: Java keystores are terrible things and I dread the moments when I discover they are once again inevitable in reaching a certain goal.

However, it was found that some customers think their middle name is ' ----------' (even though there isn't a form anywhere on the website where one can select that), which breaks the code splitting the text above. However, a simple solution exists: to match only ten dashes or equal signs on a single line, while still capturing the groups, you can use (.*?^)[=-]{10}$ I think moving a single character four places is quite an elegant bugfix Software engineering http://confusion.tweakblogs.net/blog/1164/matching-lines-in-multiline-regular-expressions.html#reacties http://confusion.tweakblogs.net/blog/1164 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 08:41:58 GMT http://confusion.tweakblogs.net/blog/1162/using-exceptions-in-java.html Last week it struck me that I've never really used exceptions in Java properly, despite having written thousands of lines of Java code over the last three years. Of course I have written plenty of try-catch blocks, logged, chained and wrapped exceptions in my own custom exceptions, but ultimately, I hardly ever use them like they were intended: as a replacement for result codes and a means to easily propagate 'failures' up the stack. Instead of using exceptions, I often use result objects that simply wrap the actual result object, together with a boolean indicating whether the call was succesfull and an optional failureMessage. The question that immediately followed is: why? Why has it taken me so long to realize the way in which exceptions are meant to be used? I think the problem is twofold:The name feels wrong andNonlocal behaviour is hard to graspThe first one is simply this: when a method fails, this often isn't exceptional. For instance, someone requests the order with ID 1529, but no order with that ID exists. The method fails and I could throw an 'OrderDoesNotExistException', but that just feels wrong, because the situation simply isn't exceptional. I think this can be mitigated by simply changing the name of such a custom Exception to 'OrderDoesNotExistFailure' or the even simpler 'OrderDoesNotExist'. The second is a more subtle problem, which I think has to do with the fact that code is easier to understand when you handle the result of a method call immediately, even if that consists only of 'inspect the boolean in the wrapped object and branch'. When throwing an exception, the flow continues somewhere far from the original method call and this is less intuitieve. However, one can develop an intuition for it, if one properly designs the use of exceptions beforehand. And that is the ultimate problem: I've never thought deeply enough about the way one should/could use exceptions.

I was interested in finding the most popular bands in the list and wrote a small Python program to do just that. Afterwards, I thought it might be considered a nice example of the expressive power of this generation of scripting languages. Python:123456789101112131415161718import re artists = {} songs = open("songs") for line in songs:     matcher = re.search("\d+\. (.+?) - (.+)", line)     artist = matcher.group(1)     song = matcher.group(2)     if not artist in artists:         artists[artist] = [song]     else:         artists[artist].append(song) decoratedArtists = [(len(songs), artist) for (artist, songs) in artists.items()] decoratedArtists.sort(reverse=True) for (length, artist) in decoratedArtists:     print length, artist, artists[artist] Edit: an improved version based on comments (I didn't use the named groups mentioned, but for other purposes they might be quite useful). code:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 import re from collections import defaultdict artists = defaultdict(list) for line in open("songs"): artist, song = re.search("\d+\.

Dat verbaast me, want zo is het helemaal niet bedoeld. Ik zag gewoon een bepaald fenomeen, waar ik mezelf ook weleens op betrap, en wilde dat beschrijven. Ik verwijt de topicstarter van het topic niets en ik denk dat hij een redelijk topic heeft geopend. Wie dit zuiver ten nadele van de topicstarter interpreteert, maakt een hele andere, ook veelvoorkomende, denkfout: "dit is niet op mij van toepassing". Als er in een proces dingen mislopen, hebben mensen de neiging de schuld te leggen bij het onderdeel dat ze het minst goed begrijpen. Een voorbeeld hiervan op een heel toegepast niveau is te zien in dit topic. De topicstarter heeft een PHP script geschreven om een veld in een database uit te lezen en afhankelijk van de waarde een bepaalde actie te laten ondernemen. Om dit op bepaalde tijdstippen, en met bepaalde rechten, te laten gebeuren, wordt het script in de cron table van een bepaalde user gezet, zodat de cron daemon voor die vereisten kan zorgen. Vervolgens werkt het niet. De foutmelding is helder en bekend voor iedereen die weleens programmatisch een MySql database heeft geprobeerd te benaderen: je hebt de hostname verkeerd, de poort verkeerd, de database is gewoon down, etc. Het probleem is je configuratie of de manier waarop je code de configuratie gebruikt. Hij start vervolgens echter een topic met de titel "Cronjob geeft problemen met MySql". In de topicstart vermeld hij de inhoud van het script niet, waarschijnlijk 'omdat het daar toch niet aan kan liggen'. De oorzaak hiervan is dat hij heeft geconcludeerd dat het probleem bij de cron daemon moet liggen, aangezien het mis ging toen hij het script vanuit de crontab uit liet voeren. De conclusie voor iemand die weet hoe die werkt is: de cron daemon opereert voor hem op magisch, niet goed begrepen, wijze, waardoor dit probleem daar, volkomen ten onrechte, op afgeschoven wordt. N.B. Het viel me op omdat ik twee dingen in het topic zag gebeuren tengevolge daarvan:Een deel van de lezers wordt op het verkeerde been gezet enDe relevante informatie die de begrijpende lezers nodig hebben ontbreekt.P.S. Als je in je code geen expliciete configuratie doet en er, doordat het script van de crontab uitgevoerd wordt, impliciete paden en gebruikers gekozen worden, dan is dat nog steeds geen cron probleem. Het probleem is dan dat je niet met de betreffende gebruiker getest hebt. Ook zonder cron zou dat probleem voorkomen. Daarom is het niet zinvol, en afleidend, om de schuld daar te leggen. P.P.S. In dit geval was een deel van de relevante informatie overigens toevalligerwijs wel in de topicstart aanwezig. P.P.P.S. Het is ook mogelijk dat de topicstarter het geheel wel begrijpt, maar er gewoon niet in geslaagd is de vraag helder te formuleren.

This is bad for three reasons:The phrasing scares peopleIt is bound to deepen the problem, by encouraging people to withdraw money and worsen the liquidity of the banks.It is quite pointless to withdraw (large amounts of) money. If our banks go bankrupt (and if one goes, they'll all go), the value of money becomes questionable. After a few days, it probably will not be worth anything anymore. If you are worried, start hoarding food and water. You can't eat euros.But then, I wouldn't worry anyway. I'd almost hope everything goes down, just to see how it plays out, in economic as well as in social terms.

As far as I'm concerned, English is the lingua franca of the internet. The things I write about are seldomnly limited to the Netherlands and I'd like as many people as possible to be able to use and enjoy my posts. If that means sacrificing quality, because I'm less proficient at English than at Dutch, so be it. What amazes me even more, is the number of commenters that seem to think it's fair game to criticise the writer's use of the English language. If you'd make the same comments at the forum, you'd be moderated as offtopic and, in many cases, as a nitpicker. If you think this post contains spelling errors, wrong grammar or bad style, feel free to email me about it. Just please don't clutter the comments with it. Edit: Come to think of it, actually, feel free to comment on spelling, grammar and style in the comments, but please do it in a seperate comment. I will delete it as soon as I have read it.

Now of course, specifications are generally known to be voluminous and dense and consequently hard to read and sparse on relevant information. You are better of finding a tutorial, reference guide or simply using Google. However, not so with the w3c specs. If you have a problem in html, xml, xslt, xpath, etc., the relevant w3c spec is really the first place you should look. They are very readable, littered with examples and have two other major advantages above, for instance, w3schools.com:They are always completeThey are always correctEspecially the last one is not to be underestimated, lest you spend a day on a problem that turns out to be an error in a w3schools tutorial. * Confusion pleads guilty of the last Software engineering http://confusion.tweakblogs.net/blog/1064/do-not-underestimate-w3c-specs.html#reacties http://confusion.tweakblogs.net/blog/1064 Sat, 20 Sep 2008 08:56:59 GMT http://confusion.tweakblogs.net/blog/1052/the-disadvantages-of-the-google-web-toolkit.html The Google Web Toolkit was announced as the next silver bullet in building (Java) web applications. After working on a project where it was used to build the front-end, I have to admit that not having to write any ECMAscript definitely has its benefits. Primarly: not having to worry about, or stumbling upon problems with, cross-browser functionality, the ability to use the same code both server-side and client-side and the ability to unit-test the client-side code. However, this comes at a cost. There are two major disadvantages to using GWT:The time a development cycle (deploy, test, adjust, redeploy) takes. When the code has been deployed to Google's 'hosted mode' browser, many code changes can be tested within a matter of seconds, by 'refreshing' the webapp. Think of it as automatic hot redeploy. Deploying the code to that browser currently takes around a minute, which wouldn't be a problem, if it weren't for the fact that not all code changes can be tested without a redeploy. A minute per development cycle is just too long, even if it affects only 10% of the cycles.The learning curve. To use GWT properly, you are forced to use decent MVC and client-server design patterns. This doesn't sound bad and for a couple of seasoned programmers it isn't. Unfortunately, for junior programmers the learning curve seems to be rather steep.

Some people seem to think attributes are pointless and proponents of XML alternatives JSON and YAML sometimes opine as much. Now I'm not going to make a thorough analysis of when to use elements and when to use attributes, because that has already been done on a great number of occasions. What I wish to do, is to give a simple example of a case in which an attribute makes the information that is to be conveyed easier to understand: NB. After H!ghGuy's first response I realized I forgot to give an important piece of information: my intention is to store responses to a questionnaire. This is part of a larger piece if XML, storing, for instance, a name, address, etc. XML:12345<questionnaire>   <answer question="1">D</answer>   <answer question="3b">Cow</answer>   <answer question="last">144</answer> </questionnaire> If the 'question' reference needs to be an element, you get either XML:1234567<questionnaire>   <answer>     <question>1</question>     <answer_contents>D</answer_content>   </answer   ... </questionnaire> in which case the fact that the element requires an awkward name is indication enough that something is wrong, or XML:123456<questionnaire>   <answer>     <question>1</question>     D   </answer   ... Here D is not actually an 'element' in the way 'element' is used above, but it is an obvious alternatieve. In the last case, the question seems to be part of the answer element, just like the actual answer is part of the answer element. That just doesn't sit right with me, as they have a decidedly different relationship to the concept of an 'answer'. In JSON and YAML the same solutions appear and I think all are equally unsatisfying. In short: child elements together constitute the parent element. If you need to provide a piece of meta-information or want to 'annotate' an element, using an attribute is a clear way in which to distinguish this kind of information from the constitutive kind.

Bij het zoeken naar Nederlandstalige vergelijkingen kwam ik er een aantal tegen, waaronder deze weblog entry, waarin een overzicht van die links werd gegeven. De conclusie is dat het een nek-aan-nek race tussen de twee is, maar daar ben ik het niet mee eens, omdat in alle links een van de volgende twee dingen onduidelijk is:Wordt er energieverbruik (in Joule) of kosten (in Euro) vergeleken?Wordt bij een verbruiksvergelijking het energieverlies bij het genereren van electriciteit meegenomen?Beter is deze post, waarin iemand het experiment daadwerkelijk heeft uitgevoerd. Zijn conclusie, gebaseerd op de Britse situatie (ik weet niet wat gas hier per kWh kost) is dat electrisch koken ruwweg 2x zo duur is, maar ruwweg de helft aan energie kost. Neem je het energieverlies bij electriciteitsproductie mee, dan wordt het energieverbruik weer vrijwel gelijk. Een belangrijk voordeel van een waterkoker boven een ketel, is dat je hem niet kan vergeten, waardoor je energieverspilling tegengaat. Afhankelijk van of je een fluit op de ketel gebruikt en hoe vergeetachtig je bent, kan dat het prijsverschil meer dan goedmaken . Daarnaast kwam ik een advies tegen dat waarschijnlijk meer geld en energie bespaart dan switchen van een waterkoker naar gas (maar waar je waarschijnlijk niets aan hebt als de vorige paragraaf al op je van toepassing is:Kook niet meer water dan je nodig hebt.

Therefore I downloaded the appropriate JDK from Sun and happily typed code:1 ./build all only to be greeted by code:1 2 3 /usr/local/jdk1.3.1_20/bin/i386/native_threads/java: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory What's wrong is that the linux version of this JDK depends on a pretty old version of libstdc++. Luckily, a compatible library is still available from the Debian archives.

I was sure someone would have solved this problem before, but I could not find an appropriate XSLT. The problem can be seperated into two subproblems: one is 'flattening' the XML, by which I mean turning it from XML:123456789101112<root>   <element>     <foo>1</foo>     <bar>       <baz>2</baz>       <fooz>3</fooz>     </bar>   </element>   <element>     <foo>1</foo>   </element> </root> into XML:12345678910<root>   <element>     <foo>1</foo>     <bar.baz>2</bar.baz>     <bar.fooz>3</bar.fooz>   </element>   <element>     <foo>1</foo>   </element> </root> considering I am interested in converting each 'element' into a CSV line. The 'namespaced' element names are required, because they serve as the CSV column headers and they are required to be unique (which, for our case, is guaranteed by this approach). The other subproblem is converting XML to CSV, of which the main challenge was making sure the last element is not followed by a comma. In the end, I came up with the templates below to print the values of the 'childless' elements. XML:1234567891011121314151617181920    <xsl:template match="//element">         <xsl:apply-templates select="*" />         <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>     </xsl:template>     <xsl:template match="//element//*">         <xsl:choose>             <xsl:when test="count(child::*) > 0">                 <xsl:apply-templates select="*" />             </xsl:when>             <xsl:otherwise>                 <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>                 <xsl:value-of select="."/>                 <xsl:text>"</xsl:text>             </xsl:otherwise>         </xsl:choose>         <xsl:if test="position() != last()">             <xsl:text>,</xsl:text>         </xsl:if>     </xsl:template> The upper template applies the lower template to the child nodes of element nodes called 'element', one 'element' at a time. The lower template determines whether the node has any child elements. If it doesn't, it prints the node. Otherwise, it recursively applies this template to the child nodes that were present. Finally, a comma is placed for each element that isn't the last in the node-set. What's a bit tricky here is that no comma is placed for the last grandchild of an 'element', so you might expect those to be missing, but that one is provided by the comma after the element itself.

You could be distracted while bringing your daughter to the day-care center. You could be worried about someone and, hurrying over to meet him, get out of the car without a second glance. You could work hard all day, get back in the car, drive to the day-care center, be told there that you never dropped your daughter off, hurry back to your car and discover that you forgot so thoroughly that she is now dead, baked by the sun. This could be you. You could be known as a good friend, a well-liked colleague, a devoted husband and a loving father and still this could be you. Remember that, next time you feel like flaming someone for their stupidity or their evilness. They may be just like you, only less lucky. Inspired by Daniel Dennetts account of the same incident in his book Freedom Evolves Philosophy http://confusion.tweakblogs.net/blog/937/what-you-could-be.html#reacties http://confusion.tweakblogs.net/blog/937 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:37:45 GMT http://confusion.tweakblogs.net/blog/923/theories-without-predictive-power-should-still-be-funded.html In this /. article about "Solar Systems Like Ours Are Likely To Be Rare " someone responded with:Whatever... this is naval gazing and conjecture, no more credible than Intelligent Design. These guys have a few data points, they create a highly convoluted system that seems to account for their data points, then the moment they get more data, they start over. Again and again. A good critical thinker should know when to say "We don't have a fucking clue" if they want to be taken seriously. But then, it's all about money, isn't it?and he's partially right. Some research targets of science, even in physics, are subject to too many independent variables. This results in theories that are very vulnerable to changes: if you change only a small thing, the predictions the theory make will vary wildly. Theories explaining the formation of solar systems are such research targets and it may well be said that "we don't have a fucking clue". However, I don't agree with his implicit conclusion that such research targets should not receive any funding. We are still interested in knowing the answers these researchers are looking for. Even a bad theory is better than no theory: they need some starting point. Of course, alternate theories should be encouraged. If someone wishes to explain the formation of solar systems by starting from Genesis: go ahead. However, it turns out that the current scientific theories, despite lacking predictive power, are considered to be more satisfactory to most than competing theories. Theories that are based on Genesis that explain the formation of solar systems, need for more adaptations to change their predictions from "solar systems are like ours" to "solar systems are unlike ours". So we fund th scientific ones, as they seem the most promising. Ending with a funny /. comment:I'm no expert, but as I recall the major problem with probes into the gas giants is that the immense pressure inside of them would crush anything we're capable of making, and electromagnetic interference from the constant storms would make it impossible to transmit any data out. Plus, every time anyone mentions sending probes into Uranus over at NASA, nobody can stop giggling long enough to seriously work on the problem.Though I don't think this is only funny: perhaps the connotations of 'Uranus' so often result in the culturally imprinted response of embarassment, that you cannot get a research program to start.
