My120_135 RE: что вы думаете о Ruby on Steel!! Visual Studio 2005-2008

by Ruslan Voloshin | over 2 years ago | Read more

Что вы так прям пугаете людей. Сразу или нуб или дизайнер - и те и другие тоже люди.
Зачем так сразу судить по людям о том в какой ОС они пишут. Есть много обстоятельств определяющих ОС. Продакшн всё равно как правило будет деплоится на Linux, а то что во время девелопмента есть проблемы - это не более чем неприятные неудобства.
В общем - я отказываюсь судить руби программистов исходя из их ОС, а уж темболее от наличия у них мака))

2780943678_88366e5491 A Jungle Fever Experience

by Jacqui Maher | over 2 years ago | Read more

My colleague Ben and I were walking around midtown trying to find a place to eat, seeing as the cafeteria at work is insanely barren due to a previous incident. We were walking towards the corner of 41st St and 7th Ave when some guy yelled at me, “You look good!”

Now, I typically tell men who do this where I think they should go, but the thing is, I was just telling Ben about how I gained a bunch of weight while living in Florida, and seeing as I have lost a lot of it, I turned around and said, “thanks!”

However, the story does not end there. We were waiting to cross the street when the guy ran up to us. I quickly whispered to Ben, “you are my boyfriend!” The guy stood in front of us apologizing profusely. He then asked Ben, “is this your wife?”, totally upping the ante of my meager request. I stood there waiting for Ben to answer, thinking, “please say yes please say yes.”

Ben said yes. Thank you, Ben! The guy then started to go on about how fine I was, and that he was a black man complimenting me. We’re both unsure if he was trying to say that made this situation better or worse, complimenting Ben’s “wife” by cat calling her on the street. We just said, “no worries,” hoping he’d go away.

He finally did, but not before telling Ben, “Don’t screw it up, because I got jungle fever!”

Photo_5 Bored? Don't worry, here's a new programming language...

by Michael Kohl | over 2 years ago | Read more

Recently – for various degrees of recent that is – people really seem to be into programming language design and development. You’ve probably all heard about Scala, Clojure and Go already, but here are some more new languages which may be new to you (descriptions taken from the projects’ websites):

  • ANI, the experimental, high-performance, statically-safe, fully implicitly parallel, object-oriented, general-purpose dataflow programming language.
  • CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript. [...] it compiles into clean JavaScript (the good parts) that can use existing JavaScript libraries seamlessly, and passes through JSLint without warnings. The compiled output is quite readable — pretty-printed, with comments preserved intact.
  • Factor is a concatenative programming language where references to dynamically-typed values are passed between words (functions) on a stack. [It] is expressive, fast, supports interactive development and has a full-featured library.
  • ooc, a modern, object-oriented, functional-ish, high-level, low-level, sexy programming language. It’s translated to pure C with a source-to-source compiler. It strives to be powerful, modular, extensible, portable, yet simple and fast.
  • Yeti, ML style functional programming language, that runs on the JVM.

Priit Craigslist makes people scared :-(

by Priit Tamboom | over 2 years ago | Read more

I can't believe what scam and spam has done with people at Craigslist. It's scary and sad.

I wanted to rent a flat in Barcelona and I found one, but the current flat owner told me quite directly that I'm not renting it for me because my e-mail, my skype call and my mobile phone call looks like scam to him!!!

Excuse me, WHAT???

I was totally speechless, I felt really-really stupid to prove him that I have real intention to rent it. However he just didn't believe me at all.

Crap, this is really some new level stuff for me and it looks it's somehow part of Craigslist culture nowadays. Anyhow we can really declare that spammers and scammers have won the Craigslist long time ago :-(.

Dispatch From The TE Labs: Vin & Vin vs. The Super Beetle

by Vin Marshall | over 2 years ago | Read more

There was a VW Beetle in the shop's yard that had out lived its usefulness. Before I sent it on its merry way to the scrap yard, Vinny came over to help me find out how difficult it is to crush a Bug. And hit it with an axe. And set it on fire. If you were wondering, a VW Super Beetle weighs 1000 lbs without the engine, transaxle, and wheels. In today's scrap market, that's worth $92, which is about $92 more than we paid for the car. It's another Dispatch From the TE Labs! <center> </center>

Mashable.com needs to skew more lightweight - it’s the single most processor intensive site I’m aware of. That peak in the graph represents 10-15 seconds of constant 90% to 100% processor usage as the site was loading and playing several instances of flash ads all of which were dropping frames like mad to keep up. The machine in use is a 2.93 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro w/ 8 GB RAM, so I weep for lesser machines that try to load Mashable.

MX Snippets Part 1: Generate Molecular Fingerprints From the Command Line

by Richard Apodaca | over 2 years ago | Read more

Molecular fingerprints play an important role in cheminformatics. MX, the high-performance cheminformatics toolkit written in Java, comes complete with the ability to generate molecular fingerprints. This article, the first of a new series discussing MX through compilable snippets of Java code, shows how to interactively test fingerprints in MX through a simple command-line utility.

What the Program Does

From the command line, the program accepts a SMILES string as input and returns the indices of all bits set using the MX PathFingerprinter:

$ java -cp .:mx-1.0-beta-2.jar FPTest
> CCCCC
{185, 293, 595, 742, 927}
> CCCCCC
{185, 293, 338, 595, 742, 927}
> C1CCCCC1 
{185, 194, 293, 338, 595, 742, 927}
> exit

After entering a SMILES string, the program prints out the indices of all of the bits set in a 1024-bit fingerprint. As you can see, each fingerprint in the progression pentane >hexane >cyclohexane is a superset of its predecessors. This is, of course, the feature that makes fingerprints so useful for substructure search.

Note: the MX SMILES parser is only partially implemented at the moment and will not accept isotopes, stereochemistry, or lower-case atom labels.

Create a Workspace

Create a workspace and download the MX jarfile:

$ mkdir fptest
$ cd fptest
$ wget http://cloud.github.com/downloads/metamolecular/mx/mx-1.0-beta-2.jar

The Code

Create a file called 'FPTest.java' containing:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.BitSet;
import com.metamolecular.mx.io.daylight.SMILESReader;
import com.metamolecular.mx.model.Molecule;
import com.metamolecular.mx.fingerprint.PathFingerprinter;

public class FPTest {
  private static PathFingerprinter fingerprinter = new PathFingerprinter();

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
      String str = "";
      while (str != null) {
          System.out.print("> ");
          str = in.readLine();
          processInput(str);
      }
    } catch (IOException e) {
    }
  }
  public static void processInput(String input) {
    if ("exit".equals(input)) {
      System.exit(0);
    }
    Molecule molecule = SMILESReader.read(input);
    BitSet fp = fingerprinter.getFingerprint(molecule);
    System.out.println(fp);
  }
}

Compile

$ javac -cp mx-1.0-beta-2.jar FPTest.java

Conclusions

A good fingerprint generator is a powerful item in any cheminformatics toolbox. This tutorial has shown a simple method for getting started with fingerprints using MX.
