RE: [OT] Learning CS

2004-06-23 Thread Rony Shapiro
Good point.

As an employer, Technion and Hebrew University are #1, with Tel-Aviv
very close. Bar-Ilan and Ben-Gurion are #2, with the Open University
close behind. Haifa comes in last.

There are a couple of colleges that give occasional good candidates:
Tel-Aviv, Holon and the Interdisciplinary center in Hertzeliya, but the
level of the college graduate varies much more that university
graduates.

Of course, keep in mind that this is an average impression. I've
interviewed Technion graduates who couldn't code their way out of a
paper bag, and one of my best engineers graduated from the Tel-Aviv
college. For sorting CVs for an entry level position, the university is
a good first approximation. The more experience a candidate has, the
less relevant the university becomes.

Good luck!

Just curious.  Do you have experience with graduates of the Jerusalem
College of Technology (a.k.a., Machon Lev, a.k.a., Beit Sefer Gavoa

Israel, so I was curious about some impressions of our place.

  resorted to comparing all the configuration files between the

  To my surprize the relevant difference was in the line: Option

  Changing pc104 to pc101 solved the problem.
 
 Actually, I have no problems with CTRL-D (exit/logout); I have needed to use
 CTRL-H instead of backspace in vim (but not in the command-line itself), both
 running it in xterm and in the tty.  The keyboard section of my XF86Config file
 looks like this:

I don't think this is relevnt to the Backspace Delete issue. See also
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/BackspaceDelete/

 
 Section InputDevice

What is the layout il_si1452 ? Did you write that file yourself? I
believe you should use:

   Option  XkbLayout en_US,il
   Option  XkbVariant ,si1452

 
 Two other questions: does anyone know how to use the il_si1452 keyboard layout
 in xterm/tty, and; what about the missing kuf from the xterm/tty Hebrew font
 package?  I've seen people ask about this one before: instead of a kuf, I see a
 blank space.  Any ideas?

See above. You also need to use some mapping for third shift level, as
the Nikud is in the third shift level for that layout.

Anyway, this affects X but *not* the linux console.

 
 Plus, if someone knows why running the lines
 
 setfont -m none -u none iso08.16
 loadunimap /usr/share/kbd/unimaps/8859-8.a0-ff.uni
 
 seems to disable the pasting ability of gpm, I'd really appreciate it...

Capturing screen into video?

There is a bug in AbiWord handling of mixed Hebrew+English text.
To demonstrate it, I need to capture the behavior of a window for a time

Standard methods of screen capture - capture only a single frame.

 Hi List,
 
 I'm trying to decide where would I learn CS next year (=the one which 
 stats at October). I'm sure some of you are during their CS studies or 
 finished them recently.
 
 I'd like to hear what do you think about 3 places:
 1. Tel Aviv
 2. Bar Ilan
 3. Hebrew University.
 
 I'm talk about comparing the stuff, place, students, the material they 
 teach and so on.
 

I finished in Tel Aviv CS+math so I am probably biased but from what I
know,

Hebrew university is very good but tends to be more theoretical Technion
are also good but more practical Tel Aviv is a bit under them in
quality, tends to the theoretical, although there enough technical
courses to get a good programing background (if you are aiming at an
M.A+ you should probably go more in the theoretical direction though).
I don't know how the others are. I think haifa is the worst, BGU weren't
considered very good when I started, but I heard they got better. don't
know about the rest.

As for personal impressions from Tel-Aviv (don't take it as a
comparison as I don't know how the others are in this respect)

Tel-Aviv university doesn't tend to treat the students very well (a
general feeling a lot of students and staff get). I've heard good
reports from people from Jerusalem and quite a few mixed ones from the
Technion (some really like them, some can't stand them).

The rest is Tel Aviv specific:

They used to work mostly in Unix and later linux when I started several
years ago, looking in the labs now it seems like its shifting more
towards windows (as M.A I don't spend time there now but the general
impression). All computers support dual boot with linux though. Actaully
all lab computers reboot into linux automatically after some time of
non-usage (30 min. day, 15 night according to system) and are used for
distributed parallel computing.

I am not sure what are the project requirements now, that would depend
on the lecturer but I think you can get away for most stuff with only
linux (Computer graphics may require windows, again depends). I don't
think you can get away without knowing at least a little *nix programing
and a little basic shell when finishing your degree (knowing how to turn
on a computer is not a requirement though ;-)

Its probably harder then in colleges, but with a right choice of
courses and project partners you can get away with knowing almost no
programing if that is what you want ;-)

I have to admit that when I worked as a programmer I felt that a good
college oriented at programing will make you a much better programmer
then a university, but a lot of job places today seem to look at the
degree as a filtering criterion, at least for entry level jobs (I guess
experience will be more dominant once you get enough of it). The
program with colleges is that the overall level seems to have a lot mote
variation then universities.

Avoid software engineering btw if your grades allow, at least in Tel
Aviv the level is much lower then CS.

 I'll be glade to hear you private experience.
 
 I'd also like to hear about the infrastructure of each university from 
 the system guys (didi, eli...) and from the students. Also about the 
 usage of Linux - if you can (well, now it's not off topic (-: )
 
 Thanks.
 
 p.s.
 Please don't respond with 'why not the Technion/BGU...'.

aRTs stopped working after upgrading to KDE3.2.3

2004-06-23 Thread Ilan Finci
Hi,
I have a machine installed with SuSE 9.0. KDE 3.1.4 and everything was fine.
After upgrading to KDE 3.2.3 using the binary package for SuSE 9.0, I 
now get an error message every time I login, or try to use an 
application that uses aRTs for sound (most KDE apps).

Applications that uses sound directly, works fine (for example xmms 
using the ALSA plugin for output).

The error message is:
Sound server fatal error:
AudioSubSystem::handleIO: write failed
len = -1, can_write = 4096, errno = 4 (Interrupted system call)
This might be a sound hardware/driver specific problem (see aRts FAQ)
I've tried to build the source RPM from SuSE's site, but I can't get it 
to compile.

Any idea?
Thanks,
Ilan

Take your pick.

They normally allow you to either select a single window or the whole

 Is there a file system like that? Or a plugin to a known filesystems?

If the data does not change much, simple mirroring will do: back up
everything to a disk on a different machine. rsync could be useful for
such large files.

BTW: is there a way to hint rasync not to recalculate the md5sums on

RE: Capturing screen into video?

2004-06-23 Thread Rony Shapiro
Hi,

Another option would be just to photograph the screen with a digital
camera. This has the advantage of being completely platform independant.
Of course, you need a digital camera, but these are increasingly common.
(Hm, I wonder if the cameras that are being embedded in cellphones have
enough resolution/sensitivity to do the trick. Somehow, I doubt it.)

In general, using a digital camera for sysadmin-related work, such as
documenting how to replace a hard disk, is a pretty cool idea.

It would probably be as safe as the windows versions. There is
supposedly no spyware in there but there is no way tell (actually you

I guess the bottom answer is on how you feel about closed source

I have a RedHat 9 system.  It came with mysql 3.23.54 without InnoDB table

install.

I have apt-get installed but the respository only has 3.23.54.

Are there any other tools out there that I can just say upgrade mysql to

I think the easiest would be to download their binary tar.gz (what
they call 'Linux downloads', the first option in their download page).
I know our DBA installed it more-or-less smoothly on RH73.
Not always RPMs are less work. Unless it's a trivial package, I tend
to install RPMs only from the distributor. Packages that have such
binary, location independent tar.gz's (such as tomcat, java, mozilla,
etc.) are very often easier to install than RPMs. If the problems are
real, e.g. if their binary tar.gz does need a shared lib you don't
have (or a newer one), you _will_ get into trouble, though.

 I know our DBA installed it more-or-less smoothly on RH73.
 Not always RPMs are less work. Unless it's a trivial package, I tend
 to install RPMs only from the distributor. Packages that have such
 binary, location independent tar.gz's (such as tomcat, java, mozilla,
 etc.) are very often easier to install than RPMs. If the problems are
 real, e.g. if their binary tar.gz does need a shared lib you don't
 have (or a newer one), you _will_ get into trouble, though.

You may also get into troubles if the package provides a library you
need to link against.

SS Why not just run it through strace and find out?
Sure, it is in my to-do list, only as soon as it won't crash in my hands right 
away, and will run for at least through configuring stage. So far, I am lucky 
enough to hit the most popular segfault. Anyway, looks like I (and all 
pessimists out there) will need to strace every version of Skype to come out, 
to find if the developers changed their mind. :)
