XML highlights for PHP 5XML highlights for PHP 5 12/20/2003 07:22 PM XML in PHP5: An in-depth look into advanced XML features (via Keith) does exactly what it says on the tin. Here are the bits that caught my eye:
Unforuntately, my biggest criticism of PHP remains: all of the above is supported using functions built in to the default namespace! The lack of a smart namespace system (like Python's modules) really gets in the way when you start trying to write reusable code or large applications.

Ever since I signed up for some Flickr photo RSS feeds with keywords like "Graffiti" and "Tokyo," I've gotten a steady stream of pix taken by folks around the world. Some days, there's a serious jackpot, as today, with all these great pix of graffiti in Manhattan by someone called "Ninjin" and this sweet Tokyo skyline photo. Producing these little highlight posts is slightly labour-intensive, so I dunno how often I'll do them, but today it was worth it. (Disclosure: I'm an advisor to Ludicorp, the company that makes Flickr).

Python2.4 highlightsPython2.4 highlights 09/20/2004 11:18 PM A.M. Kuchling's "What's New in Python X" documents are always a treat, and his gu ide to the forthcoming Python 2.4 is no exception. Among other things, 2.4 elevates sets to built in type status, dramatically improves the usability of Python's list sort method (for easier application of DSU, aka the Schwartzian transform), makes reverse iteration easier and introduces an alternative string substitution method. All that's before you get on to the really exciting stuff: generator expressions, the new decimal type (because floating point numbers are such a nuisance) and the controversial function decorators. I have to admit I didn't understand the significance of half of this stuff until I read about them in "What's New", which explains the use-cases for the new features with great clarity. Python seems to advance at just the right rate; new features are introduced fast enough to keep me interested (and keep the language feeling alive) but not so fast as to leave me feeling left behind.

Automatic sports highlightsAutomatic sports highlights 07/04/2004 03:47 PM Researchers have devised software that churns through sports video and automatically grabs the highlights. A New Scientist article describes several of these projects--from snooker analysis at Trinity College to soccer game scanning at the University of Florence. Computer vision problems are notoriously difficult, but, according to the article, "as sports follow fixed rules, and take place in predictable locations, computers ought to be able to pick out the key pieces of play and string them together." Link  Last year in Lab Notes, I wrote about a similar project at UC Berkeley. Computer scientists there are using soccer and ballet video footage to demonstrate machine vision software that recognizes humans and their activities.
