RSS native parsing in the next Firebird

RSS native parsing in the next Firebird 02/10/2004 02:42 AM

This is new to me. I was checking out the nightly builds of Firebird 0.8 betas (windows and linux, mac< /a>) and they' ve got an rss button and panel that parses RSS, with titles linking to the main window. Slick, but they need to let you track which ones have new/old items.

update: It turns out I'm actually a dumbass. I installed this RSS extension so long ago I forgot about it, and because I never saw it show up in any menu, I figured it never "took" on my Firebird install. Then when I had the new nightly build the toolbars were out of whack on first run so I went to customize them and saw the RSS button for the first time, and assumed it came with Firebird 0.8. My bad.

Independently Parsing Perl 06/17/2005 04:30 PM
Stodgy, boring languages have great editors. What's keeping Perl from refactoring support, perfect syntax highlighting, and other advanced transformation techniques? It's really difficult to parse Perl. Fortunately, Adam Kennedy's PPI project provides a standalone Perl parser that operates correctly on all but 28 of the 38,000 CPAN modules. Here's how it works and what you can do with it.

High Speed XML Parsing is Not Intuitive

High Speed XML Parsing is Not Intuitive 02/11/2004 03:58 AM
For a PHP weblog, there haven't been many PHP articles or links recently. This is because I feel most recent PHP articles I read have nothing fresh to say, repeating material I linked to 2 or 3 years ago. Perhaps I'm getting jaded. So to keep things fresh, here's a new article, mostly original, and hopefully of some interest to everyone!

Last year, Tim Bray, one of the co-authors of the XML spec, mentioned that he used Perl regular expressions to parse XML.

Now here's the dirty secret; most of it is machine-generated XML, and in most cases, I use the perl regexp engine to read and process it.

I was struck by this because I would have thought XPath or SAX would provide better performance as they are APIs tuned specifically for XML.

I decided to do some benchmarks to determine which techniques were better. I also wanted a realistic test, so I benchmarked parsing the RSS feed of this web-site, searching for the contents of all title tags, and returning the contents as an array. The RSS file is from Nov 2003 (yes i did this benchmark that long ago), and is about 20K and has 12 title tags, so the returned array will have 12 title strings.

The techniques used were:

1. Regular expression: preg_match_all('/<title>([^<]*)/',$rss,$titles_arr))

2. Explode('<title>', $rss) then strip the matching </title> tag using strpos() and substr().

3. XPath, using $title_nodes = $ctx->xpath_eval("//title");

4. SAX, wrote an element handler function that matched and processed the title tag.

5. DOM, using $titles = $dom->get_elements_by_tagname('title'). Intuitively, this should have been the slowest, as the whole tree is generated.

Results

Here are the timings for processing the RSS file 1000 times. Faster is better.

            seconds       Relative 
                          to REGEX
REGEX       0.1080          1.00
EXPLODE     0.1696          1.57
DOM         6.3212         58.53
XPATH       8.3417         77.24
SAX        10.0851         93.38

Conclusion

Intutively, I would have thought that XPath would be the fastest as XPath expressions can be compiled and tuned for XML. But the best performance was achieved using regular expressions, which is what Tim is using.

It appears that the DOM, SAX and XPath libraries remain immature (compared to the Perl-compatible regex library) and are not highly optimized. Strangely enough, DOM performance is better than XPath and SAX! Perhaps someone else can explain why.

If anyone is interested, i can post the source.

Test platform: Windows 2000, PHP 4.3.3. I also tested on Linux, PHP 4.3.2, with similar results.

The heat of the discussion on liberal XML parsing has subsided, so this is actually a little late. That's because I wasn't sure if I should post this. But a post by Dave Winer today convinced me to post it anyway. Let me just say up front that I could be completely wrong. ?

When working with a PHP script, sometimes it's just easier to have some of the configuration options outside of the souce. Not only does this make things a bit more friendly for the user, but it makes less debugging for you in the long run. But, to harness this feature, you might need a shove in the right direction - and that's where this new article comes in.

RSS Sync is a Pocket PC 2003 ActiveSync Extension. It synchronizes RSS/RDF news to your PDA - effectively creating an offline newsreader. The sync program updates RSS data at scheduled intervals. Data is then synchronized to the PDA, where it can be viewed in the RSS Viewer aggregator. The headlines are stored in a small database on the PDA, so you can carry the information with you anywhere and examine it without being connected on the internet. When a link to a website is provided with the RSS article, you can activate it and be redirected to a web-browser, which connects and retrieves the web-site online.

After reading a forum post yesterday inquiring about DSL vs. cable download speeds (specifically Cox Cable), I though I’d write about one of OS X’s more underappreciated applications. Let’s face it. If you’re using OS X, you’re using the Internet; and if you’re using the Internet, you’re looking for one thing: speed. For most people, dial-up just doesn’t cut it anymore, and for some, cable speeds still aren’t enough. While Safari and Camino have taken care of many gripes about page...

MSN Video Download for PMC and Pocket PC
Launches 03/30/2005 07:31 AM

One of my biggest criticisms of Microsoft's Portable Media Center platform has been that there's really nothing to watch. You could download a few B-list movies from CinemaNow and Major League Baseball games or copy stuff from your Windows Media Center PC, but if you wanted to put anything else on the device, you had to transcode your video to Windows Media Video format (a hassle I will, perhaps unfairly, put up with in the PSP, but not in a device with the primary purpose of playing back video).

Thankfully, Microsoft has finally launched MSN Video Downloads, the long-promised service to provide daily-updated content for easy download and syncing to your Portable Media Center. I haven't used it, but glancing over the content list looks somewhat promising—enough so that the $20-a-year subscription fee is probably worth it, if you've already dropped $400 on a PMC (and the content works on Pocket PCs, as well).

1 Million Free Songs for Download 07/29/2004 03:28 PM

In my experience, most of the RIAA-hating nerds who swear they'll never to buy another album again continue to download copyrighted, RIAA-financed music from less-than-legal sources (and I've done it, too, so simmer down). What's crazy, though, is that if you really don't want to bend any laws, there is a wealth of free music online -- and The Red Ferret Journal just set up a Wiki (a user-edited web page) to make it even easier. There are hundreds of thousands of freely downloadable songs on the websites listed (some of them are even not techno) and thousands more non-RIAA-backed labels selling songs, too -- so if you really want to fill up that iPod without "stealing music," you do have an option to do so.

Mainly, though, I just wanted you to feel extra guilty when you download RIAA music anyway.

Stross's magnificent ACCELERANDO as a
free CC download

Stross's magnificent ACCELERANDO as a
free CC download 06/17/2005 03:35 PM
Cory Doctorow: Charlie Stross's brilliant novel Accelerando is available as a free Creative Commons download! This novel collects and bridges all of his Hugo-nominated Manfred Macx stories, published over the last several years in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. Charlie is a wild talent, and he writes like the love-child of Vernor Vinge, Neal Stephenson and Hunter S Thompson. Once you start this book, you won't be able to stop.

Manfred's on the road again, making strangers rich.

It's a hot summer Tuesday, and he's standing in the plaza in front of the Centraal Station with his eyeballs powered up and the sunlight jangling off the canal, motor scooters and kamikaze cyclists whizzing past and tourists chattering on every side. The square smells of water and dirt and hot metal and the fart-laden exhaust fumes of cold catalytic converters; the bells of trams ding in the background, and birds flock overhead. He glances up and grabs a pigeon, crops the shot, and squirts it at his weblog to show he's arrived. The bandwidth is good here, he realizes; and it's not just the bandwidth, it's the whole scene. Amsterdam is making him feel wanted already, even though he's fresh off the train from Schiphol: He's infected with the dynamic optimism of another time zone, another city. If the mood holds, someone out there is going to become very rich indeed.

He wonders who it's going to be.

* * *

Manfred sits on a stool out in the car park at the Brouwerij 't IJ, watching the articulated buses go by and drinking a third of a liter of lip-curlingly sour gueuze. His channels are jabbering away in a corner of his head-up display, throwing compressed infobursts of filtered press releases at him. They compete for his attention, bickering and rudely waving in front of the scenery. A couple of punks – maybe local, but more likely drifters lured to Amsterdam by the magnetic field of tolerance the Dutch beam across Europe like a pulsar – are laughing and chatting by a couple of battered mopeds in the far corner. A tourist boat putters by in the canal; the sails of the huge windmill overhead cast long, cool shadows across the road. The windmill is a machine for lifting water, turning wind power into dry land: trading energy for space, sixteenth-century style. Manfred is waiting for an invite to a party where he's going to meet a man he can talk to about trading energy for space, twenty-first-century style, and forget about his personal problems.

He's ignoring the instant messenger boxes, enjoying some low-bandwidth, high-sensation time with his beer and the pigeons, when a woman walks up to him, and says his name: "Manfred Macx?"

He glances up. The courier is an Effective Cyclist, all wind-burned smooth-running muscles clad in a paean to polymer technology: electric blue lycra and wasp yellow carbonate with a light speckling of anti collision LEDs and tight-packed air bags. She holds out a box for him. He pauses a moment, struck by the degree to which she resembles Pam, his ex-fiance.
