Johnny and his colleagues inventing the future. I feel good about mankind every time I see some prototype made by those guys. Do click and watch the two movies. You don't have to be technical at core to be blown away by the simplicity and awesomeness of this augmented reality stuff ;)

Po drugie nie ma u nas ryzyka, że klienci banków nagle przestaną spłacać kredyty - jak to miało miejsce w USA czy Wielkiej Brytanii. Nasze banki uważniej przyglądają się sytuacji kredytobiorcy.

Designed: Senz aerodynamic umbrellas (30)

by Jason (506) on

Signal vs. Noise (1078) 1 week, 1 day ago permalink

The Senz aerodynamic umbrella turns itself to the best position in the wind and won a red dot award for its novel design. Even the shaft was rethought and redesigned (it’s oval, not cylindrical or square). I love reinventions of every day objects that are long taken for granted. And not that an umbrella matters in a hurricane, but…

Moah said: another improvement in design of an everyday object. :) watch the video it is pretty impressive.this guy is crazy sitting in front of that hurricane machine.
Chris said: Awesome, like having a stealth bomber flying right above your head! These would sell like hotcakes in Japanese during typhoon season, where you get strong winds and rain together. Litter is not nearly as common in Tokyo as it is in other big cities, but the line of broken umbrellas lining the road during typhoon season demonstrates the potential for this product.
Jon said: Amazing. Will be the first umbrella I have ever purchased. Also, looks like a great gift for that person that has everything and appreciates great design.

Scalability Worst Practices (14)

by General Chicken (65) on

High Scalability - Building bigger, faster, more reliable websites. (245) 2 weeks, 1 day ago permalink

Brian Zimmer, architect at travel startup Yapta, highlights some worst practices jeopardizing the growth and scalability of a system: * The Golden Hammer. Forcing a particular technology to work in ways it was not intended is sometimes counter-productive. Using a database to store key-value pairs is one example. Another example is using threads to program for concurrency. * Resource Abuse. Manage the availability of shared resources because when they fail, by definition, their failure is ...

High Scalability - Building bigger, faster, more reliable websites. (245) 3 weeks, 1 day ago permalink

By John Engales CTO, Rackspace. Good presentation of the stages a typical successful website goes through: * Stage 1 - The Beginning: Simple architecture, low complexity. no redundancy. Firewall, load balancer, a pair of web servers, database server, and internal storage. * Stage 2 - More of the same, just bigger. * Stage 3 - The Pain Begins: publicity hits. Use reverse proxy, cache static content, load balancers, more databases, re-coding. * Stage 4 - ...

Testowanie ziaren EJB3 z użyciem TestNG (1)

by Dawid Walczak (4) on

Polskie blogi javowe (4) 3 weeks, 2 days ago permalink

Po pierwszych potyczkach z JPA nadszedł czas na zdobycie pierwszych doświadczeń w pisaniu ziaren EJB3. Najpierw chciałem jednak wybadać sprawy związane z testowaniem tychże ziaren. W poprzednich wersjach EJB z testowaniem było dość ciężko, gdyż jak wiadomo ziarna, żeby działały musiały być osadzone w kontenerze EJB, które były dostępne tylko w serwerach aplikacji. Jak dla mnie, jest to zdecydowanie za skomplikowany i zbyt czasochłonny proces testowania. Niestety ziarna EJB3 również wymagają, żeby uruchamiać je w ...

Defining the problem of elevator waiting times (44)

by Matt (919) on

Signal vs. Noise (1078) 4 weeks ago permalink

Below is an interesting story about a building where tenants were complaining about long elevator waiting times. The solution shows how the key to solving a problem is often defining the problem correctly in the first place. A classic story illustrates very well the potential cost of placing a problem in a disciplinary box. It involves a multistoried office building in New York. Occupants began complaining about the poor elevator service provided in the building. ...

Startup School 08 (3)

Startup School is one of the most enjoyable hangouts for the folks who want to code their way to successful startups fame. A few 08 sessions are avilable online at Omnisio. Follow this link : http://omnisio.co... one of them is truly entertaining and useful. However, make sure to watch David Heinemeier Hansson. His session is hilarious (and a very useful one!).

Swype keyboard for touchscreens (25)

Very clever new input concept from one of the guys who brought you T9. I was just simulating this on my keyboard and it’s surprisingly easy to do. Of course I don’t have anything to measure my accuracy, but I think the concept is fascinating. Full story at CNET.

Visual Signs and Symbols (5)

When I was travelling last week I spotted this sign on the side of the plane engine: This is not a men's room? No urinating on the engine please? What is a men's room sign doing on the side of a jet engine? To me it looks like an example of how symbols evolve over time and take on a different meaning. The symbol used to be a generic "male" symbol. In the, um, waste ...

Do tej pory myślałem że na temat zastosowania notacji UML jako języka modelowania powiedziano już wszystko. Sven Efftinge (Itemis) pokazał jednak że temat ten nie został jeszcze wyczerpany. Wykorzystał on swoje wieloletnie doświadczenie by w notacji tej zaprojektować uniwersalny system opisu ciągników rolniczych zwanych potocznie traktorami.
