Apache Thrift Noms de personnes à travers le monde Background People who create web forms, databases, or ontologies are often unaware how different people’s names can be in other countries. They build their forms or databases in a way that assumes too much on the part of foreign users. This article will first introduce you to some of the different styles used for personal names, and then some of the possible implications for handling those on the Web. This article doesn't provide all the answers – the best answer will vary according to the needs of the application, and in most cases, it may be difficult to find a 'perfect' solution. Scenarios There are a couple of key scenarios to consider. You are designing a form in a single language (let’s assume English) that people from around the world will be filling in. In reality, you will probably not be able to localize for every different culture, so even if you rely on approach 2, some people will still use a form that is not intended specifically for their culture. Examples of differences .
s Python Class - Educational Materials Welcome to Google's Python Class -- this is a free class for people with a little bit of programming experience who want to learn Python. The class includes written materials, lecture videos, and lots of code exercises to practice Python coding. These materials are used within Google to introduce Python to people who have just a little programming experience. The first exercises work on basic Python concepts like strings and lists, building up to the later exercises which are full programs dealing with text files, processes, and http connections. The class is geared for people who have a little bit of programming experience in some language, enough to know what a "variable" or "if statement" is. Beyond that, you do not need to be an expert programmer to use this material. This material was created by Nick Parlante working in the engEDU group at Google.

The new art of travel for the 21st Century Rajan Datar looks at how people and technology could shape future of travel Why do we spend so much of our precious holiday time queuing up to see famous paintings like the Mona Lisa, even if we are not that interested in art? And why do we drag ourselves to all those cathedrals, museums and monuments listed in our guidebooks when - let's be honest - they usually turn out to be a bit boring, and we can't wait to get to the cafe? The answer lies in history. It is time to escape their legacy and find more adventurous ways to travel in the 21st Century. Modern travel is rooted in the tradition of the Grand Tour of the 18th Century, when upper-class gents - and the occasional lucky lady - set off with their servants on a high-culture jaunt around Europe to round off a classical education. Wrong turn Their ultimate destination was Italy, where they would stare at faded frescoes and pay homage to one-armed Roman sculptures. Open most travel guides today and you will notice that little has changed.

Anki - powerful, intelligent flashcards Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects Emulation Collective Authenticating against App Engine from an Android app Posted by Nick Johnson | Filed under java, app-engine, tech, android Many an Android app requires a server backend of some sort, and what better choice than App Engine? It's free, reliable, and does everything you're likely to need in a backend. It has one other major advantage, too: It supports Google Account authentication, and nearly all Android users will already have a Google Account. So given that we want a backend for our app, and given that we want to have user authentication, how do we go about this? Authentication with App Engine, regardless of where you're doing it, is a three-stage process: Obtain an authentication token. Let's tackle those in order. Let's create a simple activity that lets the user select one of their accounts to authenticate with. This should be fairly easy to follow. public class AppInfo extends Activity { DefaultHttpClient http_client = new DefaultHttpClient(); private class GetAuthTokenCallback implements AccountManagerCallback That's all there is to it.
Five Best Android ROMs Yeah...no, you don't need to join the XDA Developers. I am with you, though. What do you need to know? It seems scary but the more you know the less scary it becomes. Don't start without reading or watching videos. I am in the middle of putting CyanogenMod 9 on my Epic 4g. Here is what I think I have learned: Rooting and flashing the ROM are two different things.
