find the right information online is not so simple. It would seem that the search services have been indexed and have learned to quickly detect emerging sites. You can search not only web pages, but video, audio, etc. (how, is another question). For the most patient of people with an analytical mind came up with enhanced query for searching. (I personally rarely use them, but perhaps someone already is not without them, his life). The calculation formula of the ratings of the relevance of results will save us a lot of time browsing the information. Still, for example, there are services that you can sing into the phone song, and they'll say, what was the song and give a listen to the original. Incidentally, the service is innovative. This is one of the few examples where a search is not a text phrase, and directly in the digital "content". Very funny, try it, if your company will pay you the account for telephone calls. By the way, try to find this service, for exampl

JoDo.im — symbiosis jabber-server and system management freelancers

This service was created in the first place because they were necessary to me. Since 2002 I have been in the web development with the involvement of freelancers. After some time I got permanent staff and freelancers. First, the discussion of the projects and work on them was carried out by voice, telephone and email. to Skip the background and go to the control panel Phone voice and Skype : this type of control has certain advantages in that you can use eloquence, comlimenti and reprimands. But practice shows that if the freelancer is chosen, then all this is useless. But if successful, it is possible to go without calls. However, when you voice a number of disadvantages: often forgotten what was said. To record calls, which is hard and more harder then these entries to find what and when was said. Problem with “forgot”, “it was said”, ” I knew not” – huge. In the project where many details can not be put into such a control method. mail - during the executio

Don't want to say that ... resource is aimed only at profit with the help of free "content cows"

Sergey Rudnev, a specialist in advertising and pr in the Internet, believes that social networking "is what the advertiser is a clear audience, loyal to the project (and thus, loyal to your products) and conducting on site for a considerable time". the he Also believes that many well-known social Internet projects for example, Habrahabr, will be able to significantly capitalized in the future: " don't want to say that ... resource is aimed only at profit with the help of free of "content cows" , but, for example, the fact that your account cannot be deleted (at least, at that time, when I was trying to do), says that the number of registered users (and possibly all user data) will be featured in the commercial proposal for the investor/advertiser. I hope it will not be so. Bec

Blekko: search engine with Kastelli (categories)

Finally launched for public beta test of the original search engine Blekko developed under the leadership of Richard Skrenta (Rich Skrenta). Richard Skrenta gained notoriety in hacker circles in 1982, when he wrote virus Elk Cloner , considered the first mass virus for personal computers (back then it was Apple II). The talented player was only 15 years old, he went to school. In the late 80s and 90s Skrenta worked in companies Amiga Unix (Commodore Business Machines), Unix System Labs and Sun Microsystems (developed encryption at IP level). Later he was one of the founders of the open directory Open Directory Project , bought soon by Netscape. Then he resigned and founded the news aggregator Topix , which, in 2005, also successfully sold one of the American publishing consortium. Search engine Blekko — his new startup, created with the assistance of investment capital former colleague Marc Andreessen (author of the Mosaic browser and cofounder of Netscape). In Gener

PostgreSQL 9.2 official release

Today, 10 September 2012, was officially released the release of PostgreSQL 9.2! / > Finally ended a long period of beta testing, announced in may this year. The developers promise even greater performance, scalability and flexibility (performance, scalability and flexibility). performance and scalability Postgres now supports the 64-core processors, and lowered his Postgres'a, power consumption. Then I suspect everything is clear and without superfluous retreats. The mechanism of index-only scan . That for an animal such? The fact that the indices in the Postgres database does not provide information about visibility of record. That is, to understand visible to any entry, the server must read the real table the tuple (tuple). There are times that the index contains information about obsolete tuple. It is clear and the horse that access sorted index for much faster access to real table, which can be smeared somehow. Briefly, in version 9.2 this feint ears ar

9 the main errors made for the first year of our startup

To be clear, what was going on, I must say that our service is the exchange of copywriting ContentMonster.ru . At the moment, it runs more than 300 orders a day and is constantly working more than 400 authors. We are working on its creation is already more than six years, and during that time has filled a number of "bumps", most of which could have been avoided. Most likely, if the mistakes were not, we would grow faster, users would be greater and more stable psyche. So, let's begin. 1. Run update on Friday. To ensure that the project is pleased with their constant growth, need over him to work tirelessly. Users waiting for new features, please do the necessary for them features, implying that a little more and they will be offended and leave to the competitors.

The OpenFlow switch is implemented only on the level of data transfer. The car's controller is much more simple device, whose task is to take incoming frame, extract from it the address and if the destination is in the table of switching, the immediate transfer of the frame and switching matrix. Otherwise, the switch over a secure channel sends a request to

The hotel has sued Google for search suggestions when entering name of the hotel

Изображение
Google has received another lawsuit (I wonder how many of these lawsuits filed against corporations?) from a small Irish hotel. The hotel is really not the big and famous, but the administration was unpleasantly surprised when I noticed that when you enter the hotel name in the search box, it displays a few search suggestions, one of which shows the word "receivership" next to the name of the hotel. This word is difficult to translate into Russian, but the term literally means "management of a bankrupt's estate". That is a potential customer, entering the name of the hotel, could see the word and decide that the hotel was bankrupt. It is clear that in this hotel no one will go. Now the owner of the hotel (its name — Ballymascanlon House Hotel, Golf and Leisure Club) filed a lawsuit against the Corporation, asking to remove that term from the search suggestions in respect of the institution. In General, for corporations not the first to be in a

Counting the number of found records in PostgreSQL

Изображение
to work in a new project uses PostgreSQL. Because so far I have worked with MySQL, now have to study and discover Postgre. The first challenge that interested me was the replacement muskulistogo SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS . When you use this constant in MySQL, you can obtain the number of all the query finds entries even if the query limit'ω is indispensable in a paged output of search results when using "heavy" queries. Immediately ready-made solutions could not be found. The forums just stated that the SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS in Postgre no. Some wrote that it is necessary to use count(*). And no more information. But also from MySQL I know that the search with a count () query is running almost 2 times slower than with SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS. I consulted those who use PostgreSQL, a day plagued google and the result received 4 replacement option SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS in PostgreSQL, one of which is quite comprehensible speed. So, just imagine those four options, which will be d

A little about database design for search engines

Without a database, even without a few radically different, such a project is impossible. So we will devote time to this question. So at least will need a database serving the usual "flat" (2D) data – i.e., a certain ID is assigned to the data field. Why is the field data I consider one? Because: the selection is based only on the ID field of the search data is not possible. There is a specialized index – otherwise such amounts of information will be of little avail the any number of fields can be Packed into one, for this I "on the knee" has created a small set of application libraries, in particular when the package is stored CRC data, not to use God forbid broken If you do not set a task of minimizing the number of lines of code working with data and a bit of convenience, almost any task can be reduced to one where these items will be sufficient. In the case of such high requirements of optimality and speed, in my opinion it is justified. Th

Google launched flight search

It was clear that the company is seriously working in this direction and soon travel agents will have to find a new job 1 . And continued not long in coming. Yesterday opened a full search of tickets normal interface Google Flights . He is restricted to the territory of the United States. Search, display of prices and plotting works extremely quickly, even when you specify up to five places of departure and five arrival dnom search request that makes you wonder how it is implemented. Friendly graphical interface shows schedule of flights between the selected points, the ticket price of every airline on the specified date, time of flight. Use the individual sliders, you can filter the results by time of flight (there and back) and the cost of the ticket. The calendar shows what days the tickets will be cheaper.

Specify Windows paths in terms of PostgreSQL

Not so much expression there is in the SQL dialect of the Postgres database 'but that requires as argument a filesystem path. I can name a couple: the the CREATE TABLESPACE... the CREATE FUNCTION... (in case of dynamic loading of C functions) So, the crux of the matter is that these arguments are string constants. And this, in turn, means no lexical check, which leads to different effects in different operating systems. In order not to spread the idea of the tree: the Windows Users! Replace your usual slashes (backslash's, actually) these slashes: '/', parameters specifying the system path! the NO: CREATE TABLESPACE dbspace LOCATION 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\dbs' ; CREATE TABLESPACE dbspace LOCATION E'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.3\data\dbs' ; * This source code was highlighted with Source Code Highlighter . the YES: CREATE TABLESPACE dbspace LOCATION 'C:/Program Files/Pos

Sales funnel: make an automatically updated report from the database using Excel
