Benchmarking Perl (Chicago UniForum 2006)brian d foy
The document discusses various techniques for benchmarking and profiling Perl code, including:
- Using Benchmark.pm to compare the performance of different code snippets, but noting its limitations in precision and accuracy.
- Profiling applications first using SmallProf to identify bottlenecks before optimizing code.
- Considering what aspects of performance are important for the specific application, like speed, memory usage, or network load.
- Recognizing one's own biases when benchmarking and verifying results with predictions.
En poco más de 450 años, São Paulo pasó de ser una zona pantanosa a convertirse en la tercera ciudad más poblada del mundo con 17 millones de habitantes. Recibió grandes flujos migratorios que la convirtieron en un mosaico de culturas. Aunque la mayoría habla portugués, la ciudad alberga comunidades como la japonesa en el barrio de Liberdade. São Paulo simboliza el progreso de Brasil a través de su desarrollo industrial y cultural.
Market segmentation involves dividing a target market into subgroups with distinct needs, characteristics, or behaviors. It allows companies to tailor their marketing mix to better attract specific segments. There are two main segmentation strategies - concentration, which focuses on one segment, and multisegment, which targets multiple segments. Key bases for segmentation include sociodemographic factors, geography, psychographics, and usage patterns. Segmenting business markets can consider factors like company size, industry type, location, technology use, and customer capabilities. Effective segmentation provides insights into purchasing trends to help companies stabilize themselves in the market.

This document provides a summary of a tutorial on learning the Perl 6 programming language. It covers topics like scalars, variables, control structures, I/O, subroutines, regular expressions, modules, classes and objects. It suggests that in the 80 minute session, the presenters will be able to cover data, variables, control structures, I/O, subroutines and regular expressions, but may not have time for everything. It also provides information on getting started with Pugs and writing simple Perl 6 programs, as well as examples of core Perl 6 concepts like objects, methods, strings, arithmetic, conditionals and loops.
El documento describe las instalaciones y organización de la escuela C.P. Rambla dels Molins en Petrer. Detalla las diferentes partes de la escuela como las instalaciones, el consejo escolar, el equipo directivo, los profesores, el ayuntamiento, los alumnos, el jefe de estudios y el director. Además menciona algunas celebraciones importantes que tiene la escuela a lo largo del año como el Día de la Comunidad, la Navidad y el fin de curso.
El documento describe cómo las tecnologías de información (TI) como las computadoras, internet y teléfonos celulares han cambiado la forma en que las personas se comunican y realizan actividades en áreas como el trabajo, la educación, la salud y el gobierno. Explica que empresas de TI como Microsoft, IBM y Oracle ofrecen soluciones de información, y que las TI han modificado aspectos de la vida cotidiana de las personas.
The document discusses using wikis to promote collaborative learning in schools. It provides examples of how wikis can be used for class group work, research projects, photo essays, and student evaluations. Some potential challenges discussed include access to technology, computer literacy levels, monitoring content, and addressing different literacy levels. However, wikis are said to be engaging for students, provide real audiences for student work, help raise expectations and standards, and allow for creativity.
El documento resume las elecciones presidenciales que se celebrarán en Brasil el 1 de octubre de 2006. Los 125 millones de electores brasileños votarán para elegir al presidente, congresistas y gobernadores. La carrera presidencial es reñida entre el actual presidente Lula y su principal rival Geraldo Alckmin. Sin embargo, varios escándalos de corrupción han salpicado al partido de Lula, lo que podría perjudicar sus posibilidades de reelección.
The document discusses the adoption of semantic web technologies. It notes that while tools and specifications have matured, applications are now coming to the forefront. It provides examples of semantic web deployments in various domains like digital libraries, eGovernment, healthcare and by major companies. Real-world applications include data integration, intelligent portals and knowledge management systems. Overall adoption is increasing but skills and training remain obstacles.
The document discusses accessibility guidelines and standards. It defines accessibility as removing barriers for people with disabilities to access content. Key points covered include:
- Common barriers like visual, auditory, physical/motor impairments
- Assistive technologies like screen readers, braille displays, voice recognition etc. help people access content
- Legal requirements like Section 504, 508 and international WCAG guidelines promote accessible design
- Demonstrations show how content can be made accessible through simple changes
Este documento describe la importancia de la cultura en Brasil y las relaciones culturales entre Brasil y España. Discute los institutos Cervantes y centros culturales en Brasil, así como eventos culturales importantes como la Bienal de Arte en São Paulo. También destaca la diversidad musical brasileña y el papel de la música en la vida cotidiana. El funcionario cultural español entrevistado argumenta que Brasil promueve activamente la diversidad cultural y que ambos países comparten una fuerte asociación en este ámbito.
