XEmacs commented on What’s New In Python 2.6 nice overview, good examples the only problem is that the notes stick over the content at times, and non-Keynote users will not get the benefit of the full content :( 4 days ago
XEmacs commented on Basic Source Control With Subversion Nice, brief overview. Have used it mostly unchanged for a lecture. http://www.slideshare.net/XEmacs/version-control-with-subversion 7 months ago
XEmacs commented on An In-Depth Look at the Auto_ARIMA Function and its Constituents with an Application to Financial Data. Sorry, my bad. Clicked onto the wrong one. There have been quite a few dumped into the Python group. That were (in a way) related to Python, but that feel more like spamming than genuine community content contributed. And that’s something I personally (and I believe quite some portions of the community) very much dislike. 9 months ago
XEmacs commented on An In-Depth Look at the Auto_ARIMA Function and its Constituents with an Application to Financial Data. I must say I don’t really like all these white papers and stuff just dumped into this Python group! After all, this is *Slide* share, not an advertising dump. And if stuff is dumped here, it would be at least polite to some description on the original source of the document and the relevance to Python. 9 months ago
XEmacs commented on Learn Scrum Engineering in 5 minutes That’s what I DON’T like about SlideShare. All the rip off and re-posting of other people’s content without giving credit. Anyway, here’s the original source, which is NOT a slide presentation: http://www.softhouse.se/Uploades/Scrum_eng_webb.pdf 9 months ago
XEmacs commented on Web2.0 Dilemma This is all too much of the marketing perspective. Particularly slide #2 is mostly incorrect, depending on the perspective. At the time when the web started towards the late 90s the web was a medium by professionals to professionals. And by professionals I mean mainly people who knew how to distinguish between the nowadays largely not distinguished (by the public) terms "internet" and "web". Therefore the then "elitist" community using the internet and web was not mainly driven by profit, but by the idea of communication and sharing information. Those people mainly also knew how to put content on the web. 2 years ago
XEmacs commented on SVNChecker – The Missing Link Between Version Control And Bug Tracking Configuration through Web Service or web interface? 2 years ago
XEmacs commented on SVNChecker – The Missing Link Between Version Control And Bug Tracking What about Mercurial and Bazaar? They seem to be a lot more "hip" right now than Perforce ... Support for those would definitely leave more impact on the community. 2 years ago
XEmacs commented on Smart Presentation - Meet Monkey No problem. It’s just unfortunately these term generics that are also product names that create one track minds. S5 ( http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ ) for example works well for browser based stuff, and the "beamer" package ( http://latex-beamer.sourceforge.net/ ) for LaTeX. 2 years ago
XEmacs commented on Smart Presentation - Meet Monkey Why’s PowerPoint the only product mentioned? PP is just *one* among *many* tools/products that do the same thing (OpenOffice.org Impress, Keynote, Kpresenter, LaTeX, browser based presentations, ...). So it should *not* be stressed to stand out. 2 years ago
XEmacs commented on Tech Talk: Groovy Geiles Slide: Ich denke, da koennte ich was in der naechsten Re-Inkarnation des Hybrid Python/C++ Talks dran anlehnen ... :) 2 years ago
XEmacs commented on Thinking Hybrid - Python/C++ Integration That’s exactly the thing that makes C/C++ so different from most other languages. It distinguishes between reference and value calls. Python does not know about these things. People have tried to resolve this problem by trying to guess which calling method is correct in a place. But as in the Zen of Python is already stated "Explicit is better than implicit." So we don’t want the system to guess as things can go terribly wrong. Therefore, so called "calling policies" (mentioned on slide 32 in the flash animation here) have to be used to disambiguate in a way that the programmer wants. 2 years ago
