Hspell Java wrapper

2011-08-14 Thread Maxim Iorsh
Hello all,

Some time ago I've been considering a linguistic Java application, and
created a Java wrapper around the hspell dynamic library as a part of this
effort.

In fact, I introduced a new dynamic library libhspellj.so which duplicates
libhspell.a and adds Java-specific entry points, and the HSpellWrapper.jar
Java library.

Meanwhile the whole idea passed away and the wrapper is all that left. If
someone wants to use it, the tarball and instruction can be found at
http://culmus.sourceforge.net/hspell-wrapper/index.html.

Best regards,
 -- Maxim.

 I should point out that the document is somewhat out of date, as we are
 quickly approaching a keyboard layout that:

 1. Will be standard
 and
 2. Will have all of the keys that lyx has.


How does an upcoming standard make the page somewhat out of date?

 Having said that, it will not have LRE/RLE/PDF (nor LRO and RLO, for
 that matter). This is not an accidental omission. These keys change the
 appearance of the paragraph they are typed into so violently that even
 people very versed in the UBA tend to lose the spot the corresponding
 PDF should go.


At least the LRM and RLM are there. There are some issues with the new
keyboard layout:
1) The lack of LRE/RLE/PDF. What is violent about the change of
appearance? Like any other tool, if one understands how to use it then
it works. If not then you'll get unexpected results. Just because some
people don't know how to use it doesn't mean that the tool should
simply cease to be available.
2) Four levels of keys? That is torture to type on. Emacs users, let me guess.

Don't get me wrong, there are some great things about the new layout.
The placement of the Shin dots, for example. But it looks to be
painful to type on and limiting. The Lyx layout is a breeze to type
on.
זֶה לֹא דוֹרֶש שוּם מַאֲמָץ.‏
The only keys that I used there were the alphanumerics and Shift. It's
as simple as typing English, no triple whamies or whatever the Emacs
crowd calls their nose-finger.

Furthermore, the LRE and RLE are extremely useful for typing email.
There is no other way to ensure that the recipient will display the
message correctly. I don't even use the PDF symbol, just RLE before
RTL sections and if there is an LTR section then I start it with an
LRE and begin the next RTL section with an RLE.

what was the name of the app...

2011-08-14 Thread Hetz Ben Hamo
Hi,

Few years ago I heard about an app which can connect few servers behind it
- and show itself as a single cpu (single machine), so if you ran an
application on this app, it would do the magic of dividing parts to other
servers and combining them back.

Anyone remember the application name or URL for it?

Thanks,
Hetz

OpenMosix, but it I's hardly usefull for most usages, old, not really
maintained,  and very expensive. Why do you need it?

Well, a potential customer of mine wants to run different apps (most of them
are not cluster aware), on a small cluster (50 servers, dual processors
each). After I sent the previous email I remebered openMosix and saw what
you were talking about.

I thought about OpenSSI, not sure if it fits that task.

There is also http://www.kerrighed.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

I played with these a bit. Not sure of the state of affairs, but they were 
mostly useful at the time for dynamic load balancing single threaded 
applications by migrating them around to nodes that were doing little work. 
Support for multi threaded applications and shared memory approaches came and 
went at the time. None of these ssi applications knew how to take a single 
application and break it up, and I doubt that they do now.

I suggest that you tap the existing resources, that clearly document the
reasons behind both decisions, rather than assume (incorrectly, I might
add) stuff about it, and then fling it around like it was a curse-word.
