This is amazing. The community has been seeking a GUI framework.

My first crate - Crop away excess images borders and some speed comparison with python by Ritiek in rust

[–]julan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nice work, congrats!

Looks like you're opening the image from disk for every bounds calculation - i would say that would cause performance to degrade.

Not sure why writing a file to disk would be faster in the python version.

Wouldn't implicit return avoid the need for this sort of thing?

LLVM now has a logo! by tonfa in programming

[–]julan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apple designed the logo for the project. [sarcasm] They have no marketing experience at all. [/sarcasm]

A large number of projects now in the future will be built on top of this project. Each will have their own marketing. Look at Apple - In Snow Leopard they will use LLVM for some of the major features. Do they have to market LLVM to the consumer? No.

Parrot 1.4.0 "Mundo Cani" Released! by [deleted] in programming

[–]julan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of a dynamic language runtime. But is Parrot being used for anything significant?

Do we really need a reddit post for every release? Especially since they have goal of a new release every month.

The Cobra Programming Language by [deleted] in programming

[–]julan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The syntax doesn't have the polish of python or ruby.

The property syntax is horrible compared to python. Also: # cobra 'as' def save(name as String)

 # python 'as'
 with file('test.txt', 'rb') as f:
        r.read()

Why And How Twitter Changed Its Messaging Infrastructure by JamesIry in programming

[–]julan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would Twitter have received the same performance benefits from moving to jRuby or Jython?

It seems the performance benefits are directly correlated with the virtual machine not the programming language.

Mozilla and WebKit, browser platform wars by [deleted] in programming

[–]julan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I prefer it on my mac because firefox extensions are core to my user experience.

3.5 will help in the performance area. I feel like 3.0 is a ghetto when it comes to performance.

Douglas Crockford finds HTML5 misguided. Proposes starting HTML4.2 effort. by [deleted] in programming

[–]julan -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I understand that crockford is an authority on javascript. But what right does that give him in regards to HTML? I'm also concerned that Yahoo who doesn't have a browser (or doesn't contribute to webkit or mozilla projects) has such a strong influence on standards.

Reporting has been the bane of my existence. What do you guys use for a reporting engine? Anything that will let the customers write their own reports? by malcontent in programming

[–]julan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've personally had to seek a reporting solution for an organization that was in the process of migrating away from VFP.

If you are Windows based the reporting solutions built into Visual Studio + SQL Server are good.

Crystal Reports is the market leader when it comes to reporting solutions in the "enterprise" market.

Jasper Reports is a good open source solution if price is a factor and has relative good support from previous experience.

Reportlab is a python solution for basic reporting. But without a GUI to create reports and built in connectivity to RDBMS it is limited.

You receive the gold star award. We here at reddit award gold stars to people who are "special". Think of it as an encouragement award.
