A new version of dollar is out. Major changes:
- defined a contract: copy, iterator, equals and hashCode
- copy() for ListWrapper, SetWrapper and MapWrapper always returns a new object
- improved generics usage
- improved internal design (e.g. OCP violations)
- removed TODO exceptions
- countless bugfixes
Javadoc is still missing, maybe you can contribute it? :-) |

After spending a week fixing bugs I've decided to tag revision 2b48f56e7c75 as 1.0-alpha1.

"An experimental Java API that shows how much you can bend the Java syntax to suit your personal taste. Through inspiration by this project I’ve come to some unique ways to make my code more expressive – without using funny signs. Thanks to Davide Angelocola for his unique approach."

PROs - looooong battery life, about 10 hours
- light (1.5 Kg)
- very small power supply, compared to my old one
- easy to use keyboard
- 4 GB DDR3 ram
- wifi N with a very good antenna
- cool palm rest
CONs - glossy display
- too many sticks :-(
- noisy and slow hard disk (Update: I've just replaced it with Intel X-25V, zero noise)

Since I'm taking a break from my master thesis, IA and JavaScript these days I'm studying JSR-299, the Java Contexts and Dependency Injection. CDI is the new Java standard for dependency injection and contextual lifecycle management that I was excited some time .
During this learn process I've done some experiments with Weld, the reference implementation of JSR 299. Today I've published two experiments on bitbucket.org, feel free to use it as you want :-)
@ApplicationScoped public class RandomNumberGenerator {
private Random random = new Random(System.currentTimeMillis());
@Produces @RandomInt @Named public int getRandomInteger() { return random.nextInt(100); } }
Please note the new main, it is very elegant:
@ApplicationScoped public class Consumer {
@Inject @RandomInt int random;
@Inject @Parameters List<String> parameters; // the String[] args for your main
// listen for container event "Initialized" public void main(@Observes ContainerInitialized event) { System.out.println("I'm a random number " + random); } } |

One of my last courses for my master degree in Computer Science is about the Poisson Process and Markov's Chains. As my passion for programming devolves I've implemented two Poisson Process simulators using flot (and thus jQuery) and LambdaScript, a functional Javascript library that I'm slowly evolving:

Today Google send us a very informative mail about their plans for 2010:
"In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology. This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers."
Also Apple said that they will support HTML5 in place of flash. Recently, Microsoft has been engaging more and more with the HTML 5 community.
Is this the year of HTML5? I don't know but I'm already in charge reading Dive Into HTML5 in my free spare time. |

About five months ago I've answered this question on stackoverflow. Then I've created a project on bitbucket. Feel free to browse the source, send patches, write documentation, and please contribute whatever you can do make it better for everyone.
Examples import static com.humaorie.strtotime.strtotime.*;
Date now = strtotime("now"); Date yesterday = strtotime("yesterday"); Date dayBeforeYesterday = strtotime("2 days");

During my thesis work I'm slowly creating a very small functional JavaScript library. I write a lot of JavaScript these days and I write many bugs too. I want a nice integration with my IDE of choices for running unit tests for JS (no, HTML with tests inside is not a viable solution for me):
Leveraring JUnit's API I created a very simple RhinoRunner. It is very simple to use, yet not perfect:
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
@RunWith(RhinoRunner.class) @JavaScriptSourceFile("src/test/javascript/LambdaScriptTest.js") public class LambdaScriptTest { }
