There is a C library librdf. I wrote its D wrapper to be used for my revolutionary software XML Boiler. I did for most kinds of objects *WithFinalize and *WithoutFinalize. *WithoutFinalize holds a copy of a C library handle, which should not be finalized when the D struct holding it is destroyed. I wrote even an article on this my “great” idea. But now I’ve … Continue reading A Programming Task I Overengineered
A man once contacted me and offered to participate in a joint software project. At first, I misunderstood him and thought it is just some open source. I refused because have more important projects to work on. But we kept talking, I realized that the proposed project is commercial. The project didn’t look very promising, but I decided that it is better to share in … Continue reading The Worst Software Startup Ever
I am happy to announce the first release (v0.1.0) of XML Boiler (Automatic transformation of XML namespaces) software. This release is alpha. But it seems to be already useful. For example, the documentation of XML Boiler is built using XML Boiler itself. Here is the list of advantages of this new kind of XML software: freely intermix tag sets of different sets of tag semantics (using … Continue reading XML Boiler (Automatic transformation of XML namespaces) is released
XML Boiler project reached an important milestone: To make the first release it remains to debug it. (Also need to create particular XML processing scripts to make it useful.) XML Boiler is the implementation of my Automatic transformation of XML namespaces specification, which is going to revolutionarize processing of XML documents both locally and on the Web. Please donate to porton@narod.ru at PayPal. Continue reading XML Boiler project reached an important milestone
Dear Martin, This is a letter to Martin Fowler, which I also publish in my blog. I am rather wondered why you don’t do any mention in your article https://www.martinfowler.com/articles/injection.html about the following problem: Real classes which use dependency injection very often may need to pass some of their dependencies to implementation classes which they depend on. This may lead to increase of the number … Continue reading Letter to Martin Fowler
I originally started to write my XML Boiler software in Ada. Ada compiler has too many bugs. I switched to Java. I discovered for myself that Java byte arrays are limited to about 4GB of bytes, this makes problematic processing of big XML files. I switched to Python. Now I have finished translating it from Java to Python. Now I can continue to implement features. … Continue reading Finished translation of namespace transformer to Python
I have created a C library to span a process with given input and receive its output. One cannot just write to stdin of a process and then read its stdout through pipes, because this way it may lead to a deadlock. Instead use my library: Homepage API docs It is an alpha release, tested on Linux. During its development I managed to crash Linux: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198549 Continue reading Library to spawn a process with given input and receive its output
