Real entities

Today I have wasted several hours for the concept outline of my new open source startup. The idea behind is so simple, based on all well known components. But as a join vision I think that is a new simple way of designing quick light-weight database applications. Now the most challenging task is, of course, not the idea of atomic hashes itself, which is trivial, but the implementation of the query language for the project. Once you have a version control like svn content management for data maintain, realentities library is a solution worth to consider.

jQuery Kid

Pretty cool for a kid. Even I was able to understand everything, and it's a little bad I already knew this.

This proves how easy it is to taught someone programming and stuff (As I once said, one can teach even a primate or a smart dog). Google obviously benefits from spending all that crazy money for the "get the brain" approach. What they do should be done in any educational model of a progressive institution, especially in math or natural. One should really enjoy the process and have fun.

Q: What is eduction (of a brain)?

A: Education is a constant dialog with your brain (or technically, I think, a specialist will say between both of head brain's hemispheres). If your brain is interested in something that means it is ready to learn this something, that means there are enough connections in your neural network, that are active enough, to make the final conclusion - the final connection. So if you are about to study something, do it with passion and understanding, thus building and exploding a better network for a
better understanding. And finally, the proper understanding is actually a conclusion that is often your own discovery of a particular small fact, that you have just come up with and you are able to see it very clearly by repeatedly accessing a result from the same neural circuit which allows you to compute that fact. So, if you are about to grade results of your own eduction, then grade it by measuring not applicative skills of knowledge, but the discovering skills with help of that knowledge as well as all the small discoveries themselves.

counting automaton problem

As I've promised, here is the problem inspired by the riddle from the Sophus book. I don't want to cite the text from the page. Briefly, speaking it may be a very simple problem with a simple solution or a problem without solution at all.

Mathesis.ru

Again, quite a remarkable set of old and rare mathematical and natural science books, published in Russian, mostly before and after the revolution of 1917. The period is exactly form 1904 till 1925.

"Games with matches" is the book that had actually driven my attention to the site http://mathesis.ru/book/tromgolt2

I think I will put some of the problems from the book online.

php mamba fun

I'm not sure for how long this site will be up, but anyway here is a (305 points) test results button for php developing:



I hope that i will manage to write some bruteforce after all. I'm putting this crack thought into my blog just to remember... This should be a lot of fun.

A good book about GDI+ in C#

Because of all msdn and "code at a thumb" stuff one could easily give up an idea of trying to read a good book with explanations. After looking through a dozen books like User Interfaces in C#: Windows Forms and Custom Controls by Matthew MacDonald I've started to think that it would be hard to find a more horrible one.. :-(

Anyway I was lucky to find this wonderful article Graphics with GDI+ from Professional C# by Ollie Cornes, Jay Glynn, Burton Harvey, Craig McQueen, Jerod Moemeka, Christian Nagel, Simon Robinson, Morgan Skinner, Karli Watson. So if you will ever try to write any book about programming, please do at least as good as this last one.
