  • Another big year for the ADF EMG at OOW12

    - by Chris Muir
    Oracle Open World 2012 has only just started, but in one way it's just finished!  All the ADF EMG's OOW content is over for another year! The unique highlight this year for me was the first ever ADF EMG social night held on Saturday, where I finally had the chance to meet so many ADF community members who I've known over the internet, but never met in person.  What?  You didn't get an invite?  Oh well, better luck next year ;-) Seriously our budget was limited, so in the happy-dictatorship sort of way I had to limit RSVPs to just 40 people.  Hopefully next year we can do something bigger and better for the wider community. Following directly on from the Saturday social night the ADF EMG ran a full day of sessions at the user group Sunday.  I wont go over the content again, but to say thank you very much to all our presenters and helpers, including Gert Poel, Pitier Gillis, Aino Andriessen, Simon Haslam, Ken Mizuta, Lucas Jellema and the FMW roadshow team, Ronald van Luttikhuizen, Guido Schmutz, Luc Bors, Aino Andriessen and Lonneke Dikmans. Also special thanks must go to Doug Cockroft and Bambi Price for their time and effort in organizing the ADF EMG room behind the scenes via the APOUC. To be blunt Doug and Bambi really do deserve serious thanks because they had to wear a lot of Oracle politics behind the scenes to get the rooms organized (oh, and deal with me fretting too! ;-). Finally thanks to all the members and OOW delegates for turning up and supporting the group on the day.  In the end the ADF EMG exists for you, and I hope you found it worthwhile. Onto 2013 (oh, and the rest of OOW12 ;-)

  • People != Resources

    - by eddraper
    Ken Tabor’s blog post “They Are not Resources – We Are People” struck a chord with me.  I distinctly remember hearing the term “resources” within the context of “people” for the first time back in the late 90’s.  I was in a meeting at Compaq and a manager had been faced with some new scope for an IT project he was managing.  His response was that he needed more “resources” in order to get the job done.  As I knew the timeline for the project was fixed and the process for acquiring additional funding would almost certainly extend beyond his expected delivery date, I wondered what he meant.  After the meeting, I asked him what he meant… his response was that he needed some more “bodies” to get the job done.  For a minute, my mind whirred… why is it so difficult to simply say “people?”  This particular manager was neither a bad person nor a bad manager… quite the contrary.  I respected him quite a bit and still do.  Over time, I began to notice that he was what could be termed an “early adopter” of many “Business speak” terms – such as “sooner rather than later,” “thrown a curve,” “boil the ocean” etcetera.  Over time, I’ve discovered that much of this lexicon can actually be useful, though cliché and overused.  For example, “Boil the ocean” does serve a useful purpose in distilling a lot of verbiage and meaning into three simple words that paint a clear mental picture.  The term “resources” would serve a similar purpose if it were applied to the concept of time, funding, or people.  The problem is that this never happened.  “Resources”, “bodies”, “ICs” (individual contributors)… this is what “people” have become in the IT business world.  Why?  We’re talking about simple word choices here.  Why have human beings been deliberately dehumanized and abstracted in this manner? What useful purpose does it serve other than to demean and denigrate?

  • A Dozen USB Chargers Analyzed; Or: Beware the Knockoffs

    - by Jason Fitzpatrick
    When it comes to buying a USB charger one is just as good as another so you might as well buy the cheapest one, right? This interesting and detailed analysis of name brand, off-brand, and counterfeit chargers will have you rethinking that stance. Ken Shirriff gathered up a dozen USB chargers including official Apple chargers, counterfeit Apple chargers, as well as offerings from Monoprice, Belkin, Motorola, and other companies. After putting them all through a battery of tests he gave them overall rankings based on nine different categories including power stability, power quality, and efficiency. The take away from his research? Quality varied widely between brands but when sticking with big companies like Apple or HP the chargers were all safe. The counterfeit chargers (like the $2 Apple iPad charger knock-off he tested) proved to be outright dangerous–several actually melted or caught fire in the course of the project. Hit up the link below for his detailed analysis including power output readings for the dozen chargers.

  • Passing array by ref.

    - by atch
    Ref. to my last post and sellibitze's comment to that post on passing array by ref rather than by value, why is it that when I'm passing array by value compiler can deduce arguments but it won't do it if I pass it by value? @Paul So just to make it clear when I'm declaring fnc: void f(int a[]);//I'm passing a pointer but when I'm declaring: void f(int &a[]);//I'm passing a ref? Do I understand this correctly now?

  • Django custom SQL returning single row of results when query returns 2?

    - by Alvin
    I have a custom SQL call that is returning different results to the template than I get when I run the same query against the database directly, 1 row vs 2 Query - copied from Django Debug Toolbar: SELECT ((Sum(new_recruit_interviews) / Sum(opportunities_offered)) * 100) as avg_recruit, ((Sum(inspections) / Sum(presentations)) * 100) as avg_inspect, ((Sum(contracts_signed) / Sum(roof_approvals)) * 100) as avg_contracts, ((Sum(adjusters) / Sum(contracts_signed)) * 100) as avg_adjusters, ((Sum(roof_approvals) / Sum(adjusters)) *100) as roof_approval_avg, ((Sum(roof_turned_in) / Sum(adjusters)) * 100) as roof_jobs_avg, Sum(roof_turned_in) as roof_jobs_total, ((Sum(siding_approvals) / Sum(adjusters)) *100) as siding_approval_avg, ((Sum(siding_turned_in) / Sum(adjusters)) * 100) as siding_jobs_avg, Sum(siding_turned_in) as siding_jobs_total, ((Sum(gutter_approvals) / Sum(adjusters)) *100) as gutter_approval_avg, ((Sum(gutter_turned_in) / Sum(adjusters)) * 100) as gutter_jobs_avg, Sum(gutter_turned_in) as gutter_jobs_total, ((Sum(window_approvals) / Sum(adjusters)) *100) as window_approval_avg, ((Sum(window_turned_in) / Sum(adjusters)) * 100) as window_jobs_avg, Sum(window_turned_in) as window_jobs_total, (Sum(roof_turned_in) + Sum(siding_turned_in) + Sum(gutter_turned_in) + Sum(window_turned_in)) as total_jobs, (((Sum(collections_jobs_new) + Sum(collections_jobs_previous)) / (Sum(roof_turned_in) + Sum(siding_turned_in) + Sum(gutter_turned_in) + Sum(window_turned_in))) * 100) as total_collections, sales_report_salesmen.location_id as detail_id, business_unit_location.title as title FROM sales_report_salesmen Inner Join auth_user ON sales_report_salesmen.user_id = auth_user.id Inner Join business_unit_location ON sales_report_salesmen.location_id = business_unit_location.id GROUP BY location_id Results from direct query running the above query: INSERT INTO `` (`avg_recruit`, `avg_inspect`, `avg_contracts`, `avg_adjusters`, `roof_approval_avg`, `roof_jobs_avg`, `roof_jobs_total`, `siding_approval_avg`, `siding_jobs_avg`, `siding_jobs_total`, `gutter_approval_avg`, `gutter_jobs_avg`, `gutter_jobs_total`, `window_approval_avg`, `window_jobs_avg`, `window_jobs_total`, `total_jobs`, `total_collections`, `detail_id`, `title`) VALUES (95.3968, 92.8178, 106.9622, 90.2928, 103.5420, 103.5670, 4152, 100.2494, 106.8845, 4285, 120.1297, 86.2559, 3458, 92.9658, 106.1611, 4256, 16151, 4.281469, 12, 'St Paul, MN'); VALUES (90.2982, 73.3723, 97.8474, 104.5433, 97.7585, 86.1848, 1884, 109.9268, 109.3321, 2390, 81.0156, 96.4318, 2108, 91.7200, 123.8792, 2708, 9090, 4.531573, 13, 'Denver, CO'); Results from template: {'roof_jobs_total': Decimal('4152'), 'gutter_jobs_total': Decimal('3458'), 'avg_adjusters': Decimal('90.2928'), 'title': u'St Paul, MN', 'window_approval_avg': Decimal('92.9658'), 'total_collections': Decimal('4.281469'), 'gutter_approval_avg': Decimal('120.1297'), 'avg_recruit': Decimal('95.3968'), 'siding_approval_avg': Decimal('100.2494'), 'window_jobs_total': Decimal('4256'), 'detail_id': 12L, 'siding_jobs_avg': Decimal('106.8845'), 'avg_inspect': Decimal('92.8178'), 'roof_approval_avg': Decimal('103.5420'), 'roof_jobs_avg': Decimal('103.5670'), 'total_jobs': Decimal('16151'), 'window_jobs_avg': Decimal('106.1611'), 'avg_contracts': Decimal('106.9622'), 'gutter_jobs_avg': Decimal('86.2559'), 'siding_jobs_total': Decimal('4285')} Tried tweaking it a few ways and running the results through various for loops, keep getting the same result where my results are a single row through the Django template and the expected results (through console) have 2 rows The row that is coming back is the same as the first row returned through the console query so I'm thinking that it is running correctly just a matter of passing the results through... for good measure this is the code I'm using to generate the query (yes it's a bit ugly, been playing with it) def sql_grouped(table, fields, group_by=False, where=False): from django.db import connection query = 'SELECT %s FROM %s' % (fields, table) if where: query = query + ' WHERE %s' % (where) if group_by: query = query + ' GROUP BY %s' % (group_by) cursor = connection.cursor() cursor.execute(query) desc = cursor.description data = [dict(zip([col[0] for col in desc], row)) for row in cursor.fetchall()] return data[0] any feedback is greatly appreciated - been tinkering with this since I realized I could skip a few steps by generating my averages directly within the SQL rather than post-process

    - by dagda1
    Hi, I am looking for some examples of how to do model binding in ASP.NET MVC2 for COMPLEX objects. All the exmples I can find are of simple objects with no child collections or child objects. If I have an Expense object with a child ExpensePayment object.

    - by skiphoppy
    I loved Scheme in the programming languages concepts class I took several years ago. Ever since reading what Paul Graham has to say about Lisp, I've been intending to go back and pick Scheme up again and see if it'll improve my programming in general. Are there any well-known works of software written in Scheme? Open source packages? Websites?
