Amazon.com: Bow Lingual Bark Translator: Pet Supplies

Amazon.com: Bow Lingual Bark Translator: Pet Supplies: "I recently purchased the Takara Bow Lingual Gog Bark Translator, and, I must say, I was shocked and saddened to learn just how much my dog hates me. Every time he bark he is saying something that mocks me! He makes fun of my weight, the way I dress, even the way I cook. He has such foul language too! I did not know a dog could cuss like that! Even the bullies that taunted me on the playground at school, and, now, the ones that taunt me by the water-cooler in the office are not as cruel and inhuman as my dog. This product makes me sad as I discovered things about my dog and his feelings for me that I would rather not have known. It ruined my life. :("

Django snippets: Ordered items in the database - alternative

Django snippets: Ordered items in the database - alternative: "Every now and then you need to have items in your database which have a specific order. As SQL does not save rows in any order, you need to take care about this for yourself. No - actually, you don't need to anymore. You can just use this file - it is designed as kind-of plug-in for the Django ORM."

Java 8: The First Taste of Lambdas | zeroturnaround.com

Java 8: The First Taste of Lambdas | zeroturnaround.com: "Project Lambda is the major theme in the upcoming Java 8 and probably the most awaited one among Java developers. There’s one interesting feature that is being added to Java along with lambdas – the defender methods. In this blog post my intention is to look under the covers – to see how lambdas are represented by the runtime and what bytecode instructions are involved during method dispatch."

DailyJS: A JavaScript Blog

DailyJS: A JavaScript Blog: "GNOME now recommends JavaScript for authoring GNOME applications. For information on what this means for the near future of GNOME desktop development, see JavaScript in GNOME. Although it looks like they’re using SpiderMonkey rather than Node, Jérémy Lal sent in an email detailing his positive experiences with node-gir (GitHub: creationix / node-gir, npm: gir) by Tim Caswell which provides bindings for GObject Introspection."

Let's Push Things Forward - Answering the question: "How do I develop an app for GNOME?"

Let's Push Things Forward - Answering the question: "How do I develop an app for GNOME?": "Why JavaScript?
Our language of choice needs to be dynamic and high level.
There is already momentum in the GNOME Project for JavaScript -- it's used in GNOME Shell and GNOME Documents.

There's a lot of work going into the language to make it especially fast, embeddable, and framework-agnostic.
JavaScript is increasingly being seen as a first class desktop programming language -- it us being used in Windows 8, mobile platforms, and for local web applications.
JavaScript is self-contained -- it doesn't come with its own set of core libraries, which makes it more convenient for us when integrating it into the platform."

Testing Backbone + RequireJS Applications with Jasmine | Simple Thoughts

Testing Backbone + RequireJS Applications with Jasmine | Simple Thoughts: "Obviously, we can take advantage of the AMD architecture, to help us write modular tests (or “specs” in the BDD language).
To get a better sense of the challenges and different approaches in unit testing, I wrote the exact same tests three times using three different testing frameworks: Jasmine, Mocha and QUnit."

Naïve Bayes Classification

Naïve Bayes Classification: "The underlying idea is to use individual words present in the text as indications for what category it is most likely to belong to, using Bayes Theorem, named after the cheerful-looking Reverend Bayes.

Imagine that you received an email containing the words “Nigeria”, “Prince”, “Diamonds” and “Money”. It is very likely that if you look into your spam folder, you’ll find quite a few emails containing these words, whereas, unless you are in the business of importing diamonds from Nigeria and have some aristocratic family, your “normal” emails would rarely contain these words. They have a much higher frequency within the category “Spam” than within the Ham, which makes them a potential flag for undesired business ventures.
