Idea

Recently, I’m donating my spare time to the amazing Stanford Online AI Class, and writing down notes takes time. But I’m still working, in the spare time of the spare time, on PhantomJS. Yes, very slowly, but I’m not stall. Recently two ideas have come to mind, and it’s stuff I’d love to see supported by PhantomJS. REPL From the Wikipedia article: A read–eval–print loop (REPL), also known as an interactive toplevel, is a simple, interactive computer programming environment. […] In a REPL, the user may enter expressions, which are then evaluated, and the results displayed. ...

In the last month or two I started contributing to PhantomJS: PhantomJS logo PhantomJS is a headless WebKit with JavaScript API. It has fast and native support for various web standards: DOM handling, CSS selector, JSON, Canvas, and SVG. PhantomJS is an optimal solution for headless testing of web-based applications, site scraping, pages capture, SVG renderer, PDF converter and many other use cases. The project is really interesting and we are seeing a steady growth in terms of: ...

This idea comes out for an old university-time idea: to write a serverless chat application. Of course, I’m aware of the complications and the problems that using Broadcasting could create, so this problems would be took in consideration by design. But why now? I was thinking of a way to reduce the “office distances”: making easy to connect with a person who works in your own office. I know, it sounds a bit “creepy” to depend on an application to do that. After all you could just stand up and go to the colleague’s desk. And that’s what I’d normally do: nothing impossible. ...

I would have just posted it on Twitter, but I have some comments about this video. One of the first video of the iPad Simulator Watch it in Full screen at 720p: it help “feeling” the proportions used by Apple in the UI It clarify how it does execute iPhone apps: they most probably implement the iPhone API as is: indeed even the Keyboard that you get in an iPhone application is the same (no super large/super cool keyboard of the iPad ...

A dear friend of mine made me think about what I wrote in this previous post about the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s Christmas Speech. I’m sure that, who follows regularly my blog, knows, or at least has an idea, of what are my Political beliefs. But, just for the sake of being sure that no one gets insulted, I’d like to specify few simple facts: * I don't hate the American People, I actually like them very much * One of my oldest, but not doable, desires is to get a Master in USA * I hate the America's Politicians and their decisions of the last years * I think it's fault of those politicians if the World has now as major fear "Terrorism": they needed it to make more money out of the status of perpetuals fear * I don't hate Jews and I believe that a big part of the Israeli People are against the War * I believe that Israeli politicians are nothing but just controlled puppets in the hands of America's Politicians, who tries to get more and more control over the Middle-East through Israel * I believe Israel creation is a crime made by the British, despite the world was just going out of a terrible war: the lesson was never really learnt * I believe Jews that lives in Israel are, for the majority, not involved in the "willing" of doing any war against any race: most probably Muslims and Israeli would live in peace easliy if they were not ruled by criminals * I do have [hope](http://www.detronizator.org/2008/11/05/while-we-will-be-sleeping/) in [Obama](http://www.detronizator.org/2008/11/05/the-butterfly-effect/): I hope this man can, leap after leap, bring USA to a change Hope this clarify my position: the only people that should get upset for what I say are too powerful to care about me…
