Re: Python question - first call is slower?
Hi. On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 12:27 AM, Nadav Har'El n...@math.technion.ac.ilwrote: Hi, I have run across a puzzling issue in Python, and I wonder if anyone on the list can explain it. I have a python function which takes some input and produces some output - it doesn't keep permanent state, and presumably running it twice would do exactly the same thing twice, and take exactly the same time. But strangely, it doesn't - the first call takes 14 milliseconds, while the second and all subsequent calls take only 2 milliseconds each. Does anybody have any idea why this can happen? I considered, and discredited, the following attempted explanations: 1. The extra 12 milliseconds is the time it takes to read and/or compile the function's code. This explanation isn't true, because the code is read and/or compiled already when I import the module, before I measure the first call to the function. Moreover, if I measure parts of this function's code, I see it becomes uniformly slow - e.g., half of its code gets done in 6 milliseconds; It's not a 12 millisecond pause and then the rest of the function finishes in 2ms. Yeah, compiles to bytecode. 2. The code is slower the first time it runs, because only then does it get compiled and/or optimized. As far as I know, Python doesn't do JIT so this isn't a correct explanation... Nitpick: CPython doesn't (the one you're referring to as Python), other implementations may and will (PyPy, Jython, etc) 3. If class A imports B which imports C which imports D, some of these classes are only read when the code is actually used for the first time. Again, I couldn't find any evidence that this is true in Python (unlike, e.g., Java). An import would read the whole class hierarchy into memory. Right? A module is loaded only once (see also: sys.modules) Any ideas? Thanks, Nadav. Can you post some code ? Without it this may be tough. Some shots in the dark: Do you have imports inside the function ? Do you access and affect globals ? Is it a generator ? Do you have default parameters ? Are they mutable ? Do they require some computation ? Is there a difference in the dataset between the runs (python caches small ints). Does it manipulate files (will be cached by the OS), Cheers -- Meir Kriheli http://meirkriheli.com ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Re: Unicode in C
Hi, 2012/3/13 Elazar Leibovich elaz...@gmail.com 2012/3/13 kobi zamir kobi.za...@gmail.com So I guess that you're also in the UTF-8 camp. yes, but my opinion about utf-8 is just my opinion. i like python and python defaults to utf-8. Python's internal representation is not UTF-8, but UTF-16, or UTF-32, depends on build parameters. Thus python doesn't really support code points above the BMP. Of course, you cannot know the internal representation, since python (cleverly) does not allow you to cast a unicode string to a sequence of bytes without specifying the result encoding. http://docs.python.org/c-api/unicode.html (see also this very good presentationhttp://98.245.80.27/tcpc/OSCON2011/gbu.htmlon internal unicode representations in various languages). Nitpick: It's actually ucs2/ucs4 (which preceded the above but are compatible). Actually one can know the internal representation by checking sys.maxunicode [1]. I'm using it in python-bidi to manually handle surrogate pairs if needed [2].

My target industry is far far away from FOSS, so I'm pretty sure that they won't release their own code under GPL in order to adopt mine free (as in beer). So as long as I make sure I own all copyrights, will this work legally? Two main questions: (1) Is GPL giving me the enough protection? (2) Will GPL allow a company which hasn't bought a non-GPL license enough freedom to evaluate the library? What makes this slightly complicated, is what happens when company X decides to take my library and integrate it into their proprietary software for evaluation. Even for their internal copies, they can't badge the whole package as GPL, because they don't necessarily own the rights to all components, and may not even have all sources. So let's look at the case where the company has just linked my GPL'ed library with their proprietary source codes + proprietary libraries for which the company only has as binaries. Now person X wants to send a copy of the software's binary (my library included) to person Y, say over email. Under what conditions is it legal? If person Y works at the same company? For the same company (outsourcing)? Has access to everything necessary to build the software, so that person Y could in theory build the binary from software owned by the company + the library under GPL? ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Then release PHPwhois - if they don't accept the release we can fork the project. And then release Speedy Whois with the bugs fixed. My estimate of the work is up to 3 days, maybe even one day of work if you're very good in programming. I can help test and generate bugs, but I'm not that good in object oriented programming. I also don't know how to download the files from CVS, if you let me know it can help (I use Windows XP).

Hi All,
Don't forget that there is a large industry of authors and publishers
who
make their living on the current paper book model. Like music, this is a
content market whose reason for existence is payment for content.
I think that a better idea for a free education project in this
direction
would be an online publishing house the would sell kindle style
versions of
the current content offering.

You are ahead of your time. What grade are the kids in? You should
know that the books are likely used for more than reading, for

You should also know that Education Ministry limits the sacks on one's

We have a regressions testing lab. As a part of the testing we have to work with the web-interface of our product. (I'm intentionally vague, the details are quite irrelevant to the problem). The testing scenario includes action items like press the button with caption 'Advanced Settings' on it. This is implemented as a C program with sockets interface, so find a button actually means look for a substring in the received HTML code and press the button means create an HTTP POST message and send it. However, recently we have added some JavaScript and AJAX to the web-interface and now the testing environment must be able to run JS and even cope with things like replacing part of the DOM tree. We can see three possible directions to tackle the problem: - Further fix our great testing program. After all, we know what AJAX can return -- we can manually open the connection it would open, parse the response, etc. Looks ugly and has a potential to turn into maintenance nightmare. - Setup a headless X server with Firefox running inside and some sort of scripting/management add-on. If someone has an experience with such a setup, I would appreciate pointers to specific add-ons you used. - Somehow hack off the GUI from any open-source browser and link it to our program, i.e. use it as HTML parser and JS machine.

Those sources where under NDA - that's not ThinkSecret's problem but Apple's, yet they were the one paying the price. forces other to remove videos (wired), That's simply wrong. Apple never forced Wired, they asked. They asked them to remove the video because it was a step by step tutorial on how to violate the Apple EULA. It was not a tutorial on how to install Darwin, a FOSS operating system on your PC, but a full out install the parts that are proprietary too video. You sure have nice website here, shame if something bad happened to it. Apple's EULA (or anyone else's for that matter) is not law, but their threat (backed by their very active legal department) sure was enough. We've suffered from the same at whatsup.org.il. An Israeli hardware company threatened us as one of our users wrote against their ethic an behavior. Our options were either revealing his IP or being sued. After consulting a known lawyer he advised us to delete the comment or fight a lengthy battle which we can't afford, and he handled it for us against the company, without his help (no charge) we've been in the mud. Since then it happened again. One can bet same decision was forced on Wired. What that has to do with FOSS, I have no idea. A company which tries to present itself as FOSS friendly has no business of NDAs, DRM, DMCA, legal bullying and lock ins. Sure you can do that (But they need to make money), just don't try to sell you're Cool, Hip and Theo de Raadt soul mate. Someone who pretends to support FOSS can't be against open society. They can't support gag orders just for a refund (looks like a standard corporate procedure), How can a law/state even allow such actions ? http://www.osnews.com/story/21937/ They can't support hiding information from the public to keep their phony image, http://www.osnews.com/story/21878/ : KIRO 7 Consumer Investigator Amy Clancy worked for 7 months to try and get her hands on the 800-page report by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. She used the Freedom Of Information Act, but Apple's lawyers kept on filing exemption after exemption, apparently trying to prevent the report from going public. The report shows in great detail several incident where iPods burst into flames and smoke, at times burning owners uses the DMCA to hold down a wiki site (just to keep a format hidden) and much more are no supporters of FOSS. I looked that up. The website in question had pages which suggested that a user circumvent a DRM method. Telling people how to circumvent DRM is a DMCA viloation, telling them should do it, but not how, may have been. It wasn't about DRMor circumention at all , more about interfacing with iPod and the iTunesDB. And they kept the pressure even when the pages were removed. DMCA had nothing to do with it. The law was unclear. Instead of embroiling the EFF and Apple in a long and lengthy lawsuit, Apple decided to fold on the side of public freedom. It could have gone the other way, and due to the cost may have bankrupted the EFF. Ain't that nice of Apple of letting the EFF linger on ? I must send a Thank you letter to Mr. Jobs. IIRC It's very simple. They've change the format, so the info on the Wiki (which helped other devices/software sync with iTunes/iPod) wasn't relevant anymore. And they still keep using those tactics to lock their users and prevent them from using anything else. Yep, very FOSS friendly: http://www.osnews.com/story/21881 IMHO Apple did the right thing in both cases, they moved to protect their intelectual property as was permitted by law (and may be required by securities law, being a publicy traded company) and when it came down to fighting the EFF in court, they left the EFF standing. It is important to note that there was no legal precident set by dropping the cases, it still is a gray area in the law, and someone else could (and possibly may have to) do it all over again. The only victory for FOSS, if there was one at all, is Apple let the EFF live. The obligation to stockholders is a lame excuse (just like, it's a company, they need to make money) for keeping a fake FOSS/Cool mask. Why? They really do have both an ethical and a legal obligation to shareholders. It's the US, Meir, laws and ethics are different there than Israel. You mean United Corporate of America ?

Re: NIC replacement

Neither in my computer (Debian etch) nor in my wife's (Windows XP). After bypassing the router, I was able to connect my wife's computer, but not mine. Neither in Debian, nor in windows or knoppix. Conclusion: probably the on-board NIC went bust. I entered the BIOS, and switched it off and then mounted instead a (very old) winbond 89C940 card that I had lying arond. Both windows and Knoppix worked happily with it. A google search comparison of lsmod for Knoppix and Debian pointed to nek2k-pci.ko as the necessary module. After adding ne2k-pci to the /etc/modules of my debian, I rebooted it. The card was recognized and the module loaded (dmesg: eth0 winbond 89C940 found at 0xa000, IRQ204, 00:40:95:04:77:B6 ...and ne2k-pci.: v1.03 etc) but eth0 was not configured. lsmod confirmed that ne2k-pci.ko and 8390.ko had been loaded. What did I wrong, or failed to do? There was a hint in dmesg: to try pci=routeirq if any of the devices does not work. I have no idea where and how to use this hint. Can anyone give an example? To complete the mistery. After reset to factory defaults, the router worked again as new. An this morning, after reactivating the on-board NIC, everything works. Any hint will be most welcome. Cheers, Avraham udev has a rule which binds MAC addresses to interfaces (prevents the annoyance of having interfaces names changed on machines with several similar NICs after kernel upgrades). The downside: changing NICS requires modification of that rule. If you have udev installed, look for the file: /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules If you have it, you'll need to change the MAC address for eth0 to the new one (or remove that rule).

It's not that, since preg_replace has a modifier for utf-8 (u). The
problem seems to be detecting the boundaries (\b). Since (a simpler and
not perfect or similar functionality, e.g: not working on line endings)
the following works:

How do I correctly encode Hebrew in PHP?
By the way, the body of the message looks OK.
I'm using PHP 4, I can't use PHP 5 functions such as iconv_mime_encode().
Usually what needs to be encoded are the headers. It's a simple format,
and base64 [1] for the content, something like:
=?encoding_name?B?bas64_encoded_content_blabla?=
The body itself can be left as utf-8 (specifying the content-type). You
can use the mail() function [2] to send it (configure the program
sending the mail in php.ini). Don't execute sendmail directly (prevents
code portability)
Here's a sample code which worked for me in many projects (php4 included):
$msubj==?utf-8?B? . base64_encode($subject) . ?=;
$mextra=From: =?utf-8?B?.base64_encode($from).?= .$email.\n;
$mextra.=Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n\n;
mail($to, $msubj, $mmsg, $utf8_message);

Re: disabling ipv6 on debian
Diego Iastrubni wrote: Hi, In case someone does not know why, I am using this funky bfocus 312 modem bezeq is giving, configured as a router. In theory all I have to do is to make my hosts dhcp and I am done. However, this modem supports IPV6, and our ISPs generally do not, and the DNS servers get broken. The first work around, is to set the DNS server of the clients, not to the modem but to the DNS servers of the ISP. Since the DHCP lease of the clients ends after X time, the clients get once again the DNS of the modem, and the problem comes back. How do modify the dhcp clients to a specific DNS, and not to get them from the modem? The second work around will be disabling the IPv6 from the clients. I have found on the net that I should edit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases, and then modify this line alias net-pf-10 ipv6 - old alias net-pf-10 off - on and then run update-modules. This does not work for me. Is anyone else on this list using this modem? How did he fix that problem? It'd be better to leave aliases as is, so updates won't overwrite it (in case you'll answer y by mistake). Another way to disable ipv6 is blacklisting the module. Creating a new file will be the best: echo blacklist ipv6 /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ipv6 Don't forget to reboot.

You can use bash replacement feature:

# echo $A
Hello This is a test
# echo ${A// /}
HelloThisisatest
A simple for loop and mv should handle it, example:

or ls *.txt or find I guess.
I will check out the bash replacement feature before I try this so I
understand what I am doing. History has proven the danger of blindly
copying a script without knowing what I am doing. (my linux history that
is )
The syntax is:
${var_name/search/replace}
${var_name//search/replace}
Note that the 2nd one 2 backslashes after var_name. The former replaces
only the 1st occurrence, while the latter replaces all.
You can use this method to handle some quick search and replace. Here's
another example:
Let's create some files to simulate a test scenario:
$ for i in `seq 20`; do touch backup$i.log; done
$ ls
backup10.log backup14.log backup18.log backup2.log backup6.log
backup11.log backup15.log backup19.log backup3.log backup7.log
backup12.log backup16.log backup1.log backup4.log backup8.log
backup13.log backup17.log backup20.log backup5.log backup9.log
Note the sort order. Assuming you want all of them to be in the format
of backupXX.log
$ for i in backup?.log; do mv $i ${i/up/up0}; done
$ ls
backup01.log backup05.log backup09.log backup13.log backup17.log

Now, when I use FVWM2, the fonts used are much smaller. For instance, Firefox, Gaim, Skype - all run with much smaller fonts that they used to have under KDE. The question, therefore, is how I can influence the default font used by all applications? I don't want a per application solution, since it will involve too much hassle. Please note, that I didn't do any other changes to my system, aside from switching to FVWM2, in particular, I didn't remove any fonts, and KDE is actually still installed. Regards, Andre. Did you change the display manager (kdm/xdm/...) or are you starting X from the command line? I am not sure if that is the problem, but IIRC kde plays with the dpi option which affects the font size (I think kde uses -dpi 100). try starting X with startx -- -dpi 100 and startx -- -dpi 75 and see if either has the effect you want. I don't have KDE installed but IIRC it goes with the dpi of X without modifying it.

Bank Leumi's old site - works (again) with mozilla
I had a problem using the old site since mozilla 1.4 (or 1.5 - can't remember) - couldn't login (they were accesing a form in javascript as it was global var, instead of using document.getElementById). After some nagging to their tech support and their complaints department the old site works again (tested with firefox 0.9.3). For the new site, it's still a no-go. After numerous complaints, I got the following reply: It's the managers decision (not fixing the new site). When asked why, the reply was: that's the decision, without explanations or valid reasons.

Embed business logic in the DB tier (stored procedures, triggers etc): PostgreSQL and Firebird. 3. Multi languages for business logic: PostgreSQL (PL/pgsql, PL/python, PL/perl etc..) 4.

Use ready made solutions (e.g: phpBB, *nuke etc): MySQL (that's what most test against, Postgresql is an after thought, usually Firebird is not mentioned). 7. Packages MySQL, PostgreSQL: Most of the distros come package MySQL and PostgreSQL packaged, with various software compiled to support them (e.g: php with mysql and postgresql support). 8. Licensing MySQL: Since 4.x changed their client libs licensing from LGPL to GPL. If distributing solutions please make sure you're complying with the license.

Multi languages for business logic: PostgreSQL (PL/pgsql, PL/python, PL/perl etc..) What languages does firebird support? It's own internal language. Compared to PostgreSQL's is very limited (PGSQL is quite impressive). You'll probably have to extend it. Firebird's extensions can be written in plain C and compiled to a libray (called UDF). There are several available (for *nix and windows, some including source), Like FreeUDF. For more UDFs see: http://ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenixpage=ibp_udf_libs 5.

I take it that you are either unaware of pgAccess and pgAdmin, or find them severely lacking compared to their other DB counterparts. If the later, can you please say what you are missing there? I know them and several others (e.g: phpPgAdmin, Tora). Thanks to the Interbase heritage and great Delphi integration, there are many tools, some are quite impressive (many are non FOSS). For example: http://www.ibexpert.com/ http://gmarathon.sourceforge.net/ (OSS - MPL) or schema comparers like (we use it for distributing changes in business logic during development): http://clevercomponents.com/downloads/index.asp You can gather some tools for PostgreSQL for some of the functionality, but from what I saw, can't match the above (specialy IBExpert, makes developing businesss logic a breeze). For more tools: http://ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenixpage=ibp_admin_tools Also, is there any fundemental feature currently missing from either, and distinctly available in the other? For example, I'm missing updateable cursors in Postgresql. Does firebird have them? We're moving a complex project right now from FB to PGSQL (and changing backend to J2EE). The thing we miss the most in FB is multiple schema support. We also had problems with gbak when exporting BLOBs (in 1.0.x at least, not verified in 1.5.0). Otherwise FB is a great DB (I was the Gentoo maintainer of it's ebuild, retired a couple of weeks ago, lack of time): - Small footprint - flexible in layout (you can place db files anywhere you wish for example). - Can be embedded in your application if needed - Easy admin/maint As for updateble cursors , sorry, no info.
