Akron software guild students are getting with the program

It doesn't matter that the students coming out of the Software Craftsmanship Guild had almost no experience writing code three months ago. CardinalCommerce wants them anyway.



The guild -- a new, for-profit school set up by Akron software consultant Eric Wise -- has spent the summer trying to turn water into wine, in a digital sense. Demand for software developers is huge, and the guild believes it can convert students with little-to-no development experience into productive programmers after just three months of intense instruction.

GNU Transport Layer Security Library 3.2.4

GnuTLS is a secure communications library implementing the SSL, TLS, and DTLS protocols and technologies around them. It provides a simple C language application programming interface (API) to access the secure communications protocols, as well as APIs to parse and write X.509, PKCS #12, OpenPGP, and other required structures. It is intended to be portable and efficient with a focus on security and interoperability.



RELEASE NOTES: This release adds the RSA-PSK key exchange method. It has fixes in session ticket handling and in server certificate request handling, as well as other minor fixes and updates.

Programmers

Programmers are a misunderstood lot.In a non-tech company, a few folks in Information Technology who are the "programmers" or "developers" usually are at their desks looking at screens with ear buds in and generally are looking not very productive.Who are these folks and what do they do?

We are the misunderstood.Most of the time we can really make a difference if others not perceive our profession and skill in certain ways.I write this blog for many reasons but mostly so that we can, all do a bit better in home, work, and life.We need to get more quality work done and at the same time point less fingers in general.

Here are a couple of thoughts from a person who has put his ten thousand hours in at least over in software development and systems design. Excellent software is excellent to the core, data, and code.It takes exponentially more time to write excellent software. It is also exponentially more difficult to develop excellent software. If you want excellence, expect it to take time.And usually more time than is ever allowed. A top-notch senior level programmer will have a higher bar for quality and excellence most every other person in the company, and that especially includes their managers most of the time. If you badger programmers for status updates and bother them because you want something, you can expect less than excellent back from the programmer. You are killing their ability for excellence. The majority of business requirements for software is good.The majority of programming specifications by non-programmers (technical does not count as programmer) are rubbish.I have never received a single programming spec that worked from inception to development to implementation except for one.That was last week.I might frame it and put it next to my diploma.It is rarer than Bigfoot swimming in Loch Ness.

It takes about 14 hours running at medium or fast-paced 10-12 to burn that many calories. In genera

It's a ballpark figure but is often used to guide how many calories burned can lose weight. Obviously are weight loss will also depend on the diet to relocate manoukian parallel to exercise, but let's say if we avoided burn 7000 kcal kilo weight gain.

It takes about 14 hours running at medium or fast-paced 10-12 to burn that many calories. In general we can say that we need 10-15 hours of cardio to lose a kilo in weight. Something that perfectly manoukian can get in a couple of weeks or a week plus cardio if we change some daily habits: walking, climbing stairs, take bike ...

Not all that exercise, you burn fat, but eventually burn calories doing cardio makes much energy we consume is through the dreaded fat and love handles are gradually reduced. If you can spare 3-4 kilos, you can go tallying the calories you need to burn.

calc 2.12.4.11

Calc is arbitrary precision arithmetic system that uses a C-like language. It's useful as a calculator, an algorithm prototype, and as a mathematical research tool. More importantly, calc provides a machine-independent means of computation. Calc comes with a rich set of builtin mathematical and programmatic functions.



RELEASE NOTES: This release fixes many typos in comments of the Makefile, adds the new calc resource files infinities.cal, intnum.cal, smallfactors.cal, and strings.cal, and adds a number of ctype-like builtins (isalnum, isalpha, iscntrl, isdigit, isgraph, islower, isprint, ispunct, isspace, isupper, isxdigit, strcasecmp, and strncasecmp). The Makefile rule, debug, is more verbose and prints more information about the calc compiled constants. The source code is now mostly picky 2.3 clean using -s -v flags.

hamsterdb Embedded Storage 2.1.2

hamsterdb Embedded Storage is an embedded database engine written in ANSI-C. It includes B+Trees with variable length keys and records. It supports in-memory databases and endian-independent files, database cursors, multiple databases in one file, "record number" databases, and duplicate keys. hamsterdb is very fast and highly configurable. It compiles and runs on Unix platforms, Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Windows CE.



RELEASE NOTES: This release re-implemented AES encryption based on OpenSSL and libcrypto. A few bugs in the build process were fixed. The client- and server-side implementation of the remote network access has been rewritten. The server now uses libuv (a component of Node.js), which resulted in a performance improvement. libcurl is no longer required as a client-side dependency. Unused space at the end of the file is now truncated, and the file size shrinks when the Environment is closed. (This feature is disabled on Win32 if memory mapped I/O is used.)
