07/15/2004 11:56 PMWell, unless you're reading Phil Dick, at least. Just sent
Python::Bytecode 2.6 to CPAN (knowing, bluntly, that I broke the
tests) because the translator now works, at least for simple programs.
Woohoo! My first victim program was simple--the test shipped with
Python::Bytecode. So this: a = 2 b = 3 if a: print a, b c = a + b
print cdoes, in fact, print 2 3 5Go figure. I'm not sure which is more
bizarre--the fact that it works, or the fact that I actually wrote
correct Python code. (By the time this is all done I'm going to...

flash] Curious Javascript in .NET
Curious Javascript in .NET
04/26/2004 02:08 AMI've never had the opportunity nor the inclination to do anything
with .NET; at work we use open source tools for all of our web
development, and I prefer open source tools for my own personal
experiments as well. At any rate, the
javascript:__doPostBack links I've seen on .NET powered
sites such as Channel 9 and Orkut plain give me the willies.
Anyway, I decided to view source and see what
__doPostBack actually does. Here's the function:
function __doPostBack(eventTarget, eventArgument) {
var theform;
if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("microsoft") >
-1) {
theform = document._ctl0;
}
else {
theform = document.forms["_ctl0"];
}
theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = eventTarget.split("$").join(":");
theform.__EVENTARGUMENT.value = eventArgument;
theform.submit();
}
Note the use of a dubious user-agent based browser detection
method. Now what I just don't understand is why that browser detection
is there in the first place. There are numerous ways of accessing a
form by name using Javascript.
document.forms['form-name'] is part of DOM level 0, and is supported
by virtually every browser since Netscape 2.
document.form-name is a Microsoft invention. The thing
is, document.forms['form-name'] is supported by MS browsers as well. So why do a browser
detect and use the MS only method
when just using the other method with no detect would work equally as
well?
The Curious Aibo
The Curious Aibo
06/17/2005 07:11 PMIT World has an article about how Sony researchers
have created 'curious' Aibos. The researchers put about a dozen
Aibos in
playpens with balls and after some time the Aibos went from swivelling
their legs and heads to wiggling, to being able to crawl and following
a ball that had been placed in front of them. The researchers claim
that this is open-ended learning and not preprogrammed. The
researchers say the
key is that these new
Aibos have a metabrain which keeps them learning. If their learning
isn't going anywhere (bored) it makes them curious to learn new
things. The project is not expected to lead to products soon, if at
all. The scientists do hope to add more stimuli and let the Aibos
learn over
longer periods of time to see if they may learn even more.
