One easy place to make your website look current is in the copyright text at the bottom of the page. This is a rather obvious and easy thing to do, but some sites have overlooked their copyright year.

We all know that Quicksort is one of the fastest algorithms for sorting. It's not often, however, that we get a chance to see exactly how fast Quicksort really is. The following applets chart the progress of several common sorting algorithms while sorting an array of data using in-place algorithms. The result is a very cool visual demo of different sorting algorithm speeds. Source code is included.

Many believe that zebra stripes aid the reader by guiding the eye along the row. However, despite being in use in both paper and electronic mediums for almost half a century, there is practically no evidence that it actually assists users in this way. In June and July 2007, I conducted an extensive review of sources such as the International Association of Paper Historians, the Business and Forms Management Association, and the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, but found absolutely no information on the origins of or rationale behind zebra striping.

In previous posts on garbage collection, I've given a pretty cursory overview as to how things actually work. In this post, I hope to give a somewhat more specific explanation of two incremental (and potentially concurrent or parallel, but we'll ignore that for now) GC algorithms: Yuasa's snapshot-at-the-beginning incremental mark-sweep collector, and the MC2 algorithm. Yuasa's collector is very widely used, for example in Java 5 when an incremental collector is requested. MC2 is a more recent algorithm designed to reduce the fragmentation that mark-sweep creates, and appears to get great performance, though it isn't used much yet. In their practical implementation, both collectors are generational.

In the past couple days, a new project release was announced that has shown once again the potential of the Java platform. Shown how the awesome JVM has not yet begun to flex its muscles and really hit its stride in this project's domain. Made clear that even projects with serious issues can correct them, harnessing much more of the JVM with only a modest amount of rework. And demonstrated there's a lot more around the corner.

While the approach to determine the depth of a type plays nicely with the Church encodings of natural numbers proposed in the paper Towards Equal Rights for Higher-kinded Types, defining arbitrary arithmetic operators seems problematic. Addition does not pose a problem. But there seems to be no easy generalization to other arithmetic operators. This is despite the fact that the authors of the above paper mention that Scala’s kinds correspond to the types of the simply typed lambda calculus.

What does fail-over in distributed grid or cluster environment really mean? In a standard notion of it, users usually expect their data or logic to automatically fail-over to a new available grid node in case of a node crash. But is this really enough? What if, for example, a grid node is still alive, but it did not have the available resources to process your job. What if I/O on that node is to slow or database connection is not available? Also, a result of a computation could be application specific. If a computation throws an exception, depending on application logic it may or may not be worth while to retry the same computation on remote node.

Here is an interesting concept which I came across just recently and considered it worth sharing. The mysterious question which I faced was why exactly a variable must be declared as final to be passed into the method of a Local Inner Class.

I like a good UI as much as the next guy, but its not a layer I naturally strive to spend time on. I like simple, functional interfaces that work; if you want something with rounded corners and slick animations I might not be your man. But there was something that caught my eye about the paper Rethinking the Progress Bar, and it turned out to be some pretty interesting research.
