README.txt - the-cassandra-project - Google Code
"The scripts expect jdk 1.7 in /usr/local. This is also provided
in the misc directory:
tar jxvf misc/jdk1.7-drop.tar.bz2 /usr/local/
* When you build, make sure to use the java 1.7 compiler"
XWiki - Applications - SkinEditorApplication
"The Skin Editor provides edition of wiki skin and skin extensions files with Bespin's code editor. Syntax coloration is available for JavaScript and CSS files. Velocity templates will benefit from HTML coloration for the HTML bits of the templates. Bespin's default 3 themes are available : coffee, white and black. Three font sizes are available."
thrift and protocol buffers (and JSON)
"The results show that serializing to compressed JSON is both smaller and faster than thrift, and serializing+de-serializing is only slightly slower. If I converted the python data to be (header, rows) like a csv file, rather than a flat list of dicts, the json output would be smaller, and likely faster to serialize.
The totally unexpected result was that protocol buffers clocked in at over 4 times slower than thrift. I find it hard to believe that protocol buffers could be that slow, so I will have to run some more tests to make sure that I am using the library correctly."
Automatic Bug Reporting for Firefox Extensions at Toolness
"For the next release of Ubiquity, we’re going to be trying something more user-friendly: if a command encounters an error, a transparent message will be displayed telling the user that it didn’t work. The message will also recommend using the “report-bug” command to send information about the bug to the Ubiquity team. If the user decides to run this command, a page is opened that looks like this"
