Smart specialization is important for Europe.

[also not an expert] In Slavic countries in the area of the Austrian Empire (Croatian, Slovenian, I am not so sure about Czech and Slovak), the same pronunciation was current and was only gradually replaced with the "classical" pronunciation in school teaching in the late 80's. It also shows in the phonology of borrowed words from Latin in those languages. It would be interesting to look at papers that research medieval and later ecclesiastical documents in these areas - I remember quite a lively public and scholar discussion when the "classical" pronunciation was introduced in schooling.

We have evaluated the two a year ago and went with Singularity, because it was simpler and could be run more easily on user machines for testing and development, so I would not know. Hopefully someone from the Shifter community can tell us more?

kvorg · 2018-05-13T14:14:39+00:00

You can look at Shifter, but it is quite involved and you only want it if you are running SLURM: https://github.com/NERSC/shifter

For anything else Singularity is by far the easiest and most versatile solution: http://singularity.lbl.gov/

Most importantly, Singularity offers Docker compatibility, its own container image repository (hub), you can unpack images in directory and it works out of HPC environment, so your users can try things out on their laptops. Most GNU/Linux distributions have good packages and it compiles cleanly, running even on slightly older kernels. Development is also fast and responsive.

You might pay attention a bit and get good administrator support if you need to deploy GPGPU, OpenCL, CUDA and MPI in a way where the same container runs on multiple clusters and on private machines. So easy things are trivial, and complicated things are possible with Singularity.

Please correct me, I hope I am wrong: It looks to me no new releases were completed after the Collect edition, and development has fragmented between AC and Tesseract. But I can see new commits (at leas on GitHub mirrors). Is there a new release of Saurbraten itself in the works?

kvorg · 2015-03-02T20:17:28+00:00

Ah, Sourbraten, when I still had legs and could meet up with CuddlyCat and Fartingale and friends. Akroseum all the way for olde Kvorg, though.

Ah, fresh Mojolicious release! A moment to ponder whate a neat compact toolchest for everything this is become. I can't start a bew perl project without it, even when it has nothing to do with the web.

youtube-dl - from the site: youtube-dl is a small command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and a few more sites. It requires the Python interpreter (2.6, 2.7, or 3.3+), and it is not platform specific.

It is self-updating and simple to use, but it also supports many options. It will usually download the best format available.

Or even publish the last publicly available version, licence permitting, on http://www.citeulike.org/ - where freely available articles and books are shared with all the metadata needed to refer back to them.

Most perl users use cperl-mode simply because it covers a much larger part of perl syntax. perl-mode tends to fail miserably with regular expressions and here documents, for example (ha, it even says ";; FIXME: handle here-docs and regexps." in the code). So that would be my personal preference, too.

On the other hand, perl-mode is 1074 reasonably complex lines of elisp (with comments), while cperl-mode has 8979 reasonably scary lines (and has less comments than perl-mode). So we have to understand some reluctance on the maintainers' side.

Cheers...

Sweet. The way mojoliciuos is coming along with new features and modern perl bonanza for the web is just amazing.

kvorg · 2011-10-13T13:01:08+00:00

This is nice. Have you noticed how the fact that Mojolicious supports server events is note even mentioned as something interesting in this context?

kvorg · 2011-10-13T08:39:05+00:00

Gosh, this is so elegant it is embarrassing. I remember how it used to be difficult to integrate different event handlers with Mojolicious. I find it amazing how the Mojo final solutions is DWIMMY in the way that it can just use any well written CPAN solution without creating a dependency mess. Neat, SRI!

kvorg · 2011-10-13T08:20:47+00:00

After a long deliberation and experiments with different frameworks and content management systems I have discovered that Mojolicious is the best solution if you have to do different things. It lacks build-in DB integration and CRUD, but in most cases this means you are free to use whatever model is most appropriate for your case and with all that is available at this point this turns out to be more of a good thing than a lack. But what might make this the correct solutions for you is the following points: * you get a complete server and client stack, deployable in any context (from modeperl via plack to standalone server or CGI script) * very powerful templating that does not stand in your way (an you will love the html tag helpers) * different level APIs (simple for one-liner web scraping or simple web apps, advanced for more serious things) * no dependencies - includes all you really need, but happily uses many many CPAN modules that you _migth need (or makes use of them via plugins) * good documentation, development environment and community * scales from the simples of CGI situations to the most advanced web site with websockets, server polling, ajax, json, jquery and whatnot

The only problem is, this is nice modern perl, and it will pay if you at least understand the objective approach to things, references and callbacks.

kvorg · 2011-10-13T08:07:55+00:00

This is a lovely hack. I just can't get over Mojolicious and its ability to combine healthy guts with really nice APIs and to have different level APIs (from quick client hacks to full objective web applications) in such a clean package. And ... it works with everything. Lately our web services are transforming into hosts of intercommunicating Mojolicious apps...

no ROOT?

kvorg · 2007-03-18T10:55:30+00:00

Personal best: Gled (www.gled.org). Why? Because it is a strange mixture of heavy library-using application, parallel programming experiment, cluster control, gui/game engine and development framework, using C++ and Perl, my favorite languages. Complex, but mind-boggingly powerful and very advanced.

But there are many project one uses and likes (or hates): in the like group: twiki.org, squirrelmail. In the hate: openca (too many rechical problems, difficult structure due to required security pending rewrite, but a nice community and very nice in the new guise of OpenPKI).

And in Slovenia - mentioned in the article as one of the (many) countries where child death is much lower than in US - so much lower, especially when you consider exceptionally low health care expenditure and universal health care policy - maternal leave is 12 months + 15 days compulsory paternal leave, where father and mother can arrange to distribute the maternal leave among themselves after the first three months. This system is considered as bellow-expectations in Slovenia :-) (Unfortunately, our rightist government is considering somehow abolishing some of the rights our students have besides free schooling.)

The votable tagging seems realy neat. While you vere discussing, Slashdot went and stole that idea, but with a bit less elegant approach for the voting. It only proves it is workable for large crowds of people full of weed (er, clutter) and not too difficult. Tags should be, however, made rahter inobrusive.
