Simplifying work with java collections using static import

2009-10-14T05:08:00.000-07:00

Today i read article about google collections my post is simple addition to it. I will describe one tip, that I use for simpify working with java collections.
When you will create HashMap instance with some entries (often it used for unit-tests creation), you will write
in Java:


Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
params.put("age", 22L);
params.put("name", "whiter4bbit");
params.put("blog", "http://whiter4bbit.blogspot.com");

in Python :


params = {'age':22, 'name':'whiter4bbit', 'blog':'http://whiter4bbit.blogspot.com'}

Now compare it. What is pretty - yes Python is pretty:)

But in JDK 1.5 was introduced feature, that called 'static import'. You can import static methods from any class, for example:


import static java.lang.System.out;

And you can call out.println directly

This feature will very helpful. I use it to simplify work with java collections. About first example with HashMap, we can make map builder, that can help simplify map's creation:


public class MapUtils {
static class MapBuilder<K,V>{
    private Map<K,V> map = new HashMap<K,V>();
    public MapBuilder<K,V> $(K key, V value){
        map.put(key, value);
        return this;
    }
    public Map<K,V> map(){
        return map;
    }
}
//yeah, '$' - is allowed in identifiers:)
public static <K,V> MapBuilder $(K key, V value){
    MapBuilder<K,V> mapBuilder = new MapBuilder<K,V>();
    return mapBuilder.$(key, value);
}
}

Now we can use this class to simplyfy HashMap creation:


import static utils.MapUtils.$;
import static java.lang.System.out;

import java.util.Map;

public class TestMapUtils {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
     Map<String, Object> m = $("age", 22).
                             $("name", "Pasha").
                             $("blog", "http://whiter4bbit.blogspot.com").map();
     for(String param : m.keySet()){
         out.println(String.format("%s:%s", param, m.get(param)));
     }
 }
}

It is beautiful. Isn't it?:)

About BING search engine

2009-07-22T02:32:00.000-07:00

So, when I use google to find information about some thing, then in first items are information actual for my region,
I enter into bing 'Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition download' then this engine shows me next results. It shows me download page for germany Why for germany?!

Updated: Same result when 'download' replace to 'скачать'

Turing Machine

2009-06-16T15:59:00.000-07:00


import scala.collection.mutable.HashMap

class TuringMachine(_band: String, start_state: String, end_state: String) {
def walk( states:  HashMap[ (String, String), (String, String, String) ] ): Unit = {
  var state = start_state
  var pos = 0
  var band = _band
  while ( state!=end_state ){
    println(band)
    var ch = band(pos)
    var rule = states.get( state, ch.toString  ).get
    if (rule != Nil){
      var arr = band.toArray
      if (rule._2.length>0) arr(pos)=rule._2(0)
      band = new String(arr)
      state = rule._1
      rule._3 match {
        case "R" => pos+=1
        case "L" => pos-=1
        case _ => {}
      }
    }
  }
}
}

def the_test: Unit = {
var mm = new HashMap[(String, String), (String, String, String)]
mm.put( ("1", "*"), ("1", "x", "R") )
mm.put( ("1", "k"), ("2", "x", ""))
var tm = new TuringMachine("****k", "1", "2")
tm.walk(mm)
}

Multithreaded TestCases with Cactus

2009-06-06T03:46:00.000-07:00

I need to write some stress-tests for web application. The best solution for webapplications testing is cactus - it's a junit based framework with in-box tools for servlets, filters, ejb testing. While testing, cactus for each test case cactus creates 2 cases - one for client side, second - for server side (wrapped). In fact, all tests executed on server side, client test case just sends request to server to run test and to get results ( there are sequence diagram, that represents this). So all results operated by http requests responses, and there are to many methods that can be overriten.
The problem is multithreaded testing, in pure junit there are pretty solution, that described in article "JUnit best practices" . So there 2 main ideas:

overwrite run method for TestCase, access to TestResult, and modify it if there are any exceptions in thread
for waiting while all threads done use thread joins

But in case, when I use cactus, I will to access to server side testresult, and there are no ways to access it - instance of TestCase for server side created by reflection , and there are no public access to cactus testsuite fields and methods.
So below is my solution of multithreaded test case for ServletTestCase:


public abstract class MultiThreadTest extends ServletTestCase{

  protected MultiThreadTest(String s) {
      super(s);
  }

  public void run(TestResult testResult) {
      super.run(testResult);   
  }

  /**
   * all threads
   */
  private Thread[] threads;

  private Throwable exception;

  /**
   * runs all threads in array, throws exceptions, that thrown in any thread
   * @param runnableTestCases
   * @throws Throwable exception, that thrown by one of runnableTestCases
   */
  public void runThreads(final RunnableTestCase[] runnableTestCases) throws Throwable{
      threads = new Thread[runnableTestCases.length];
      exception = null;
        for(int i=0;i<threads.length;i++){
            threads[i] = new Thread(runnableTestCases[i]);
        }
        for(int i=0; i<threads.length; i++){
            threads[i].start();
        }
        try {
            for(int i=0; i<threads.length; i++){
                threads[i].join();
            }
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {            
            System.out.println("Thread was interrupted");
        }
        threads = null;
        if(exception!=null){
            throw exception;
        }
    }

    /**
     * interrupts all runned threads
     */
    private void interruptThreads(){        
        if(threads!=null){
            for(int i=0;i<threads.length;i++){
                threads[i].interrupt();                
            }
        }
    }

    /**
     * represents abstract test case thread
     */
    public abstract class RunnableTestCase implements Runnable{
        /**
         * test method 
         * @throws Exception
         */
        public abstract void runTestCase() throws Exception;

        public void run() {
            try {
                runTestCase();
            } catch (Throwable e) {
                exception = e;
                interruptThreads();
            }
        }        
    }
}

scala 2.8

2009-04-23T08:52:00.000-07:00

Coming a new scala release, I don't tried it yet, but I read Changes Preview and there are some nice changes for me:

Named and default arguments. Method arguments can be passed by names, and method parameters can have default values. - it's useful feature (like in python)
Revamped REPL. Scala's interpreter loop will have a lot of new functionality. In particular command completion will work. (scala interpreter interface is not useful like in python or ruby)

python and orm

2009-04-19T17:51:00.000-07:00

When i started to write another laboratiry work using python, I feelt to lazy implement more than one many-to-many, one-to-many relations using standard pyton's dbapi. When I was looking for orm tool in python, I found sqlalchemy, so it's a well-documented python orm tool. After reading documentation and examples (there are beautiful examples for all life tasks, I think:) ) I was able to write any relation using this orm tool:) So, here is example (a part of my work):

...
words_forms_table = Table('words_forms', metadata,
Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
Column('word',String(120)),
Column('language_id',Integer, ForeignKey('languages.id')),)
translates_table = Table('translates', metadata,
Column('id', Integer, primary_key=True),
Column('native_id', Integer, ForeignKey('words_forms.id')),
Column('transl_id', Integer, ForeignKey('words_forms.id')),)

mapper(WordForm, words_forms_table)

mapper(Translate, translates_table, properties = {
'native':relation(WordForm,
primaryjoin=translates_table.c.native_id==words_forms_table.c.id, backref='translates'),
'transl':relation(WordForm,
primaryjoin=translates_table.c.transl_id==words_forms_table.c.id, backref='translated')})
.....

scala by example exercises

2009-03-07T06:58:00.001-08:00

I was done some Scala by example exercises ( 9.4.1 was last). You can see mu solutions. I create for it git repository.
And some worlds about scala. It's a language designed by Martin Odersky. It's a functional - oop programming languages, there are few main paradigms:

functions it's a competent values (there are trail, that represents function)
each value is an object (there are no wrapped classes as in java)
each operation is a method (including +, -, * etc.)

It's a language with a static typing, but it was pretty. Author says, that scala in future will be a main programming language for JVM (now it's a Java:) ).

I mean, that language is nice for me) And I wish , I will write more about this

KDE 4.1 troubles with nvidia on gentoo

2009-01-30T11:31:00.000-08:00

So... nvidia released last drivers (180.22) that will solve problem with perfomance on KDE 4.1. But after emerging xorg-server-1.5.3-r1 and nvidia-drivers-180.22 (kernel-2.6.28-r1) there are troubles with starting X org server (it don't starts:) - only blinking screen).
After emerging vanilla-sources(2.6.29-rc2) problem solved, but..... it just rc2 :)
So enjoy....

Python 3000 released

2008-12-04T09:46:00.000-08:00

Hey, today released pythoh 3.0 (aka python 3000). this version has no compatibility with old python versions (ex. 2.5, 2.6)
one fun is that python "hello, world" script:

print "hello, world"

don't works, beacause now print is a function:) so in this version added serious changes into dictionaries and sets

DCT Python implementation

so... i will post my DCT python implementation, all useful info you can find here
it's implementation with using numpy libarary. i post this because i can't find so-so-adecvate realization of this algorithm (most realizations in different languages are just translatings from open source libjpeg ) and those realizations looks so.....ugly i don't pretend for clearly-looking code... so... you're welcome:):

python decorators

2008-11-14T05:08:00.000-08:00

so when i wrote methods for processing each object's i will see log when each method called and want to do some identical post-processing operations arter each method... well... i can wrote n classes, that have only one non-identical method (!!!) and apply decorator pattern .... but i will have very much code....)

python solves this problem by elegant decorators mechanism:

>>> class process(object):
def __init__(self,f):
self.f=f
def __call__(self,pred):
print("processing %s" % str(pred))
self.f(pred)

>>> @process
def procPred(pred):
pass

>>> procPred('s')
processing s

about decorators you can read here:

Too in Bruce Eckel's blog are interesting article about building system based on decorators

Digitalphotography managers for linux

2008-10-04T08:59:00.000-07:00

So when i got photocam i've got a little trouble : how-to manage photos... later i know about Picasa only, and now i use it, but picasa works with using wine.... and more features (like a russian photo captures, uploading to picasaweb album) are diabled in this version... to interface like 'windows native' is uglu... now i looking for native photo manager for linux and i found next solutions:

F-Spot - uses mono (.net unnoficial linux port), so screenshoots looks pretty, but mono + gtk... i don't like it.... i use kde and merge gtk and mono packages for use one application i don't want)

imgSeek - has usabe search and it's all his features (gtk:))

DikiKam - i will try it because it written in qt and has more functional than imgSeek... i want take some basic effects on photography and i will not use image editors like gimp and other.

so, today is Friday.. what about my plans on week ends... so i've biggest plans. i will done with some laboratory works, and i will have some rest in Sunday like pizza with my female friend and watching TV-series or reading some books...
so programming plans are:

i will continue write prolog with some 'features' ( it is 'like' relation ) i write it on python - it is task for couse 'logiсal bases'
next is a report for paraller architecture lab1 (TeX & gnuplot - i will try this chain ) it is a strange task (i will write about this later) what i done in python
done with low-lever graphical editor (python+qt) . task: write low-level editor, that draws lines, ellipses with subject to panel for drawing is a grid wich emulates monitor and rows on this grid emulates pixels. we will use several algorythms to done this task

How To Become A Hacker

2008-04-26T10:20:00.000-07:00

it's like some tutorial that says what skills you need to be a hacker. so i know that many advices is useless but i want mark some quotes:
first one

2. No problem should ever have to be solved twice.
Creative brains are a valuable, limited resource. They shouldn't be wasted on re-inventing the wheel when there are so many fascinating new problems waiting out there.
To behave like a hacker, you have to believe that the thinking time of other hackers is precious — so much so that it's almost a moral duty for you to share information, solve problems and then give the solutions away just so other hackers can solve new problems instead of having to perpetually re-address old ones.

second

4. Freedom is good.
Hackers are naturally anti-authoritarian. Anyone who can give you orders can stop you from solving whatever problem you're being fascinated by — and, given the way authoritarian minds work, will generally find some appallingly stupid reason to do so. So the authoritarian attitude has to be fought wherever you find it, lest it smother you and other hackers.
(This isn't the same as fighting all authority. Children need to be guided and criminals restrained. A hacker may agree to accept some kinds of authority in order to get something he wants more than the time he spends following orders. But that's a limited, conscious bargain; the kind of personal surrender authoritarians want is not on offer.)....

and much interested about skills:

It's best, actually, to learn all five of Python, C/C++, Java, Perl, and LISP. Besides being the most important hacking languages, they represent very different approaches to programming, and each will educate you in valuable ways.
But be aware that you won't reach the skill level of a hacker or even merely a programmer simply by accumulating languages — you need to learn how to think about programming problems in a general way, independent of any one language. To be a real hacker, you need to get to the point where you can learn a new language in days by relating what's in the manual to what you already know. This means you should learn several very different languages.
I can't give complete instructions on how to learn to program here — it's a complex skill. But I can tell you that books and courses won't do it — many, maybe most of the best hackers are self-taught. You can learn language features — bits of knowledge — from books, but the mind-set that makes that knowledge into living skill can be learned only by practice and apprenticeship. What will do it is (a) reading code and (b) writing code.
Peter Norvig, who is one of Google's top hackers and the co-author of the most widely used textbook on AI, has written an excellent essay called Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years. His "recipe for programming success" is worth careful attention.

Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years - it's a funny title only title of this essay scoffs at books like `teach [blah] in 10 days[1 moth, 2 weeks]` and other. this books are pretty for learn an scopes what you must learn at university and don't interested in it . but book 'teach java and c#(!!!!!!) in 10 days' for programming speciality student looks funny:)))

i haven't seen pervension like it later...

2008-04-26T09:36:00.000-07:00

http://msdewey.com/

is it another ms trying to give an pretty look search? but i heard later that ms bought an company that developed an clever search engine ( may be its not makes loot slender google ) but google is first:) i think now ms can do anything to conquer an title 'the best search engine;)' but it can conquer a title 'pretty and *slow* search engine that works only with flash'....

android impressions

2008-04-15T04:05:00.000-07:00

so when i started writing my umloid i wish that i will write clear and pretty code
but yesterday i was found a bug in m5 android it is a bug when trying to add self-created
class instance (serializable) to externs when starting new activity from other

Intent intent = new Intern(this, PropertiesActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("whiter4bbit.classes.Class", classInstance);
startSubActivity(intent, PROPERTIES);

Class is my self-created class this code compiled ok but when running last method call is not calling what i want it doesn't shows activity form

but code

Intent intent = new Intern(this, PropertiesActivity.class);
startSubActivity(intent, PROPERTIES);

works ok

but i must( i very want to be a graduate .... and get a diploma ... may be diploma on the wall looks pretty ) too i want buy some book about uml because i must know it its some absurdly but i wanna be an qualified programmer

somewhere i was read that good programmer must know haskell, lisp, python, perl , c and java
i think that i know java in intermediate level too i write some scripts in python perl is terrible so i started learn lisp so somewhere it looks pretty somewhere no . lisp is language for programming just for fun its cool but i prefer python its funny)

but writers in our time sees future very similar ....

Moscow Trip

2008-01-31T09:05:00.000-08:00

So, in Tuesday I was back from Moscow (like some week-end trip). It's a very enigmatic city ( some calls Moscow as "Country into country" ). So , from Red Square in 30th years USSR was able to control half-world! But now in Moscow floor space cost is same as in Berlin, but average payment is lower....
So this city has more interesting thinks:)

Here is one of first Apple PC's (in same museum)

In same space ship Belka and Strelka was in open space (same museum)

First post in 2008!

2008-01-15T08:58:00.000-08:00

Hey! In fact its' my first post in this year! Another year (2007) goes to sweet years valley.....
It's beautiful and no beautiful on other side, because It's my youth... But this year goes away with bad feelings and other not_good_thinks. I think, that I will attain perfection!
Too I opened my project , it's a study project , called 'simple translator from x to llvm' x - it's own language, I call it Liza it's a beautiful female name ( I like it ) . Project needs seriously refactoring, I will do it in near time. So It's is a first project revision (It called Revision 3 on googlecode, because in same time I forgot to commit some files:) ). It's a url: http://code.google.com/p/lizat/
Next what I want say it's about my favorite music what I heard recently and liked it:

L' Âme Immortelle (French: the immortal soul) is an Austrian band that produces Electronic music. Many of L'Âme Immortelle's songs feature club-friendly danceable beats, melancholy or lovelorn lyrics in German or English, and juxtaposed harsh male and emotional female vocals. Current work has moved away from the band's electronic roots into the Neue Deutsche Härte (New German hardness) genre. (from wiki )

So .... I think that's all today's post ends....

Day after holidays

2007-12-26T10:07:00.000-08:00

What about holidays? I was pass holidays at hostel, because I had to go to University and show my graph editor to teacher.

The day began with funny test in university. And now it is eowd (end of working day:)) . Tomorrow I must pass another test and should be free... till 5th january - it's date of my first exam

I'm here

2007-12-21T10:00:00.000-08:00

So, sorry for another long absence ! Maybe you're interested what I was doing during absence on my blog?) I took my course task, I passed 2 tests (it is logic and geographic information systems). And now I must pass only one test and done with 2 labs. Next: examinations.

Some words about my course task
Task: write tool for working with formally models.
Yes, I know that is songs terrible. But main sense of it : write source code generator (Java, Swing). In input we have some xml file with gui description in output - generated code for described gui. And one of conditions: use Eclipse Modeling Framework for parsing structure. If anyone have some interest for this project I will show sources...

OpenCV

2007-11-30T11:25:00.000-08:00

Today I was searching for Open Source face recognition tools under GPL license. And I found interesting library called OpenCV (Open Computer Vision Library) It library for different computer vision related purposes. You can view possibilities of this library on youtube it's very impressive! It is really useful thing in comparison with things, what our department(i mean IIT) does. And now I will go home for drink some Friday's beer and try to write anything with using this library. Happy Week-Ends!

Just another Friday

2007-11-30T11:02:00.000-08:00

It's week end ! But I have some not performed tasks, such as course task, graph editor, compiler, therefore I must work hardly in this weekend. In Monday I will pass English-knowledge-test, I think that I should pass this test with good results. Oh, I forgot - Christmas is near, and I will to buy gifts for my parents and for me-beautiful:)

First, I want to obtain higher education, therefore I must do all tasks ( most important is: compiler and course task). Too now I have interesting work - it is my first open source project (for the time being I don't say what is it - it's little secret). Too I had beautiful weekend with my friends. And now I write this text from my work place and now I will go home.

After lengthy absence..

2007-11-27T10:07:00.000-08:00

Красный день календаря

2007-11-07T13:01:00.000-08:00

Хм.. сегодня выходной
Ну а-ля праздник , День Октябрьской Революции.
Ужасный день) /me думает, что это день траура. Я выспался!!! Наконец-то, за долгое время.
Вечер. Выпил немного пива. Писал либу. Продолжал свои начинания в написании лабы. Вот. А остальное
все как всегда. НО!! Пяница - концерт Сплина. Народ говорит, что билетов уже нет, но я купил себе уже давно. К нам редко кто-нибудь стоящий приезжает. В пятницу go home, меня на ДР пригласили, так что погуляю. Ну вот , собственно и все. С Аней все как прежде, 0-0.

Just Another Week-End

2007-11-02T11:29:00.001-07:00

Написал 'Just' потому что 'Just'
Все еще одна пятница, я вот вспоминаю прошлую, такое ощущение, что это было вчера
Ужс ! Как же времечко-то летит. Ну может эт и к лучшему. А во всем виновата(?) работа. Уря ! Кажется забил на универ, прихожу на 1-2 пары, ни одной лабы так и ни сделал, ну ниче , я думаю кикнутьне должны(ну по крайней мере на ближайшей сессии).
Воот. Опять же, планов никаких, но, я думаю, что после выхода из офиса начнется телефонная импровизация и я найду занятие на чисик-другой.
Меня столько новых мыслей посетило за неделю, если что-нибудь получиться, то обязательно похвастаюсь.
Еще проколол ухо, давно хотел и недавно прокол) Скоро выкину фотку.

It's terrible. So, now I study in specialization called 'Artificial Intelligence'. I *must* use pirated copies of proprietary software in university and I *can't* write in university in my favorite environment, I must compile (and that's not real in major cases) source code in funny-gcc-parodies:)
