string completion on CDT

fabien@lueffyworld.net — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +0200

The Eclipse CDT environment for C/C++ is really efficient. Problem is, until this morning i was unable to get completion on string even if building was ok.

To get the completion, you have to say to your editor that you wish to work on standard string:
- by adding std::string each time (painfull version)
- by adding using namespace std on each cpp file

I thought that putting it once in the project would be enough but i was wrong..

Chilly wet autumn
Heatfull horse smelly fragrance
I run like the wind

DJ also cook

Still looking for some new great house innovations despite our untouchable little apartment (we look forward to find a new bigger one), i found this great desk for cooking !

I like the design of the basin with its two wok-like cooker with an internet screen for recipe.

Problem is the motto : form follows function. We always got the feeling that one follows the other but i think it would be better to say that form and function are the two side of the same coin. Thus one does not follow the other. Both are conceived in the same time in a design loop that leads to thinks the product as a whole. This is rarely the case in the design of interfaces for example. Often the function is decided before the form because it is drawn afterwards. It is i think a way that always leads to errors and misunderstood products that do not achieve their goal. If the form and the function are a pair, the product is coherent and thus have a good chance to work.

Was Hamlet Zen ?

fabien@lueffyworld.net — Thu, 23 Mar 2006 00:00:00 +0100

In zen buddhism and in buddhism in general, one of the biggest principles is that you have to get rid of duality. Because it generate necessarily a point of view that is the source of mistakes or desires and following that way, suffering.

You have to realize the truth : Yes the spoon does exist neo, stop with that will you ? The truth is that duality is only an invention of the mind and that you have to get rid of it.

Shakespeare through Hamlet voice almost realizes it :
"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so". - (Act II, Scene II).

Was Hamlet a zen master afterall ? If he really was, he would not ask the crucial question : "To be, or not to be: that is the question". - (Act III, Scene I). In Zen buddhism there is no such question. The awaken's self blends into the entire universe, you are the world and the world is you ! (i know it is hard to realize but those who do are very close from the truth)

result graphs

fabien@lueffyworld.net — Sat, 04 Mar 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Most of the search engines give a list result. That can be a problem to read the results because the list does not give a good overview of the topic organization on the web.The list shows 10 links to be followed one by one to get an idea of the request associated thematic. Here comes the idea of spatializing or showing together these results in a map or a graph like this new german experimental search engine Sinnzeug.
This search engine have a good potential and rendering ressources as a graph is quite common nowadays as numerous projects use that visualization. Nevertheless, it faces several problems of both algorithms and visual presentation. The background picture is too dark and and its shape is also too marked, making readings difficult. The websites squares are all the same color and it doesn't improve readings neither. The thumbnails momentaneously hide the squares below and websites informations are not well readable. The keywords are an excellent idea but the competitive attraction of websites between them does not help interpretation. Aninmation is very fluid but one must always interact to perceive something. A good idea though and we look forward to see what it will become in the near future!

Japan here we come

fabien@lueffyworld.net — Fri, 03 Mar 2006 00:00:00 +0100

Japan, here we come ! After an hour of waiting, we finally manage through passport and custom inspection (no fresh food, do not even try to begin a melon traffic) to arrive exhausted at the main lobby floor. We had bought in France our 3 weeksJapan Rail Pass to take every JR train and all we had to do at the airport was finding the JR desk and get our pass. The desk is under the main lobby floor and it was uneasy to find it considering the surprising (for a 外人 (foreigner)) amount of japanese signs (far better than CDG in France anyway). Then we had to find our train which can be challenging because there is several company to go to Tokyo... Finally we managed to find the right platform and here we are waiting for our train after a twelve hour flight and 2 hours of administrative tasks. We want to sleep !! You may notice on the picture the cleanness of the platform (french know what i'm talking about), the yellow sensitive line you will everywhere in japan (sidewalks, railway stations, etc.) and the typically japanese rolling luggage (the blue one) ! I know the picture is blurry but i was nauseous (exhausted), sorry...
