Korean fashion style following KPOP weave

Recently KPOP is getting very popular, it called KPOP weave.  It seems like that many of Korean pop singers or groups already are on the top of music chart in Asian area including China, Japan and south eastern Asia.

This trends lead some of other fields like movies, TV dramas and fashion. Especially Korean clothing is getting more popular as Korean celebrities getting popular. Because people notice the style of Korean celebrities on TV show.

Korean fashion clothing is distinguished from others. First they are mostly for slim. sometimes it’s not make easy to find big size of clothing. Second fashion trends are changing very fast. Korea is a sort of small county, when a style is getting trends it doesn’t take that long to get spread out. The last is that they have very efficient manufacturing cycle. All these make difference on Korean fashion style.

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 14593.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Changing Timezon and NTP On Ubuntu server

Timezon Config

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Time Synchronisation with NTP

as root, create a file /etc/cron.daily/ntpdate containing:
ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com
The file /etc/cron.daily/ntpdate must also be executable
sudo chmod 755 /etc/cron.daily/ntpdate

SwingWorker not on Java 6.0

SwingWorker is useful when a time-consuming task has to be performed following a user-interaction event (for example, parsing a huge XML File, on pressing a Button). The most straightforward way to do it is :

 private Document doc;
 ...
 JButton button = new JButton("Open XML");
 button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
       doc = loadXML();
    }
 });

This will work, but unfortunately, the loadXML() method will be called in the same thread as the main Swing thread, so if the method needs time to perform, the GUI will freeze during this time.

package com.wsjoung.demo;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

public abstract class SwingWorker {
    // see getValue(), setValue()
    private Object value;
    private Thread thread;

    private static class ThreadVar {
        private Thread thread;
        ThreadVar(Thread t) { thread = t; }
        synchronized Thread get() { return thread; }
        synchronized void clear() { thread = null; }
    }

    private ThreadVar threadVar;

    protected synchronized Object getValue() {
        return value;
    }

    private synchronized void setValue(Object x) {
        value = x;
    }

    public abstract Object construct();

    public void finished() {
    }

    public void interrupt() {
        Thread t = threadVar.get();
        if (t != null) {
            t.interrupt();
        }
        threadVar.clear();
    }

    public Object get() {
        while (true) {
            Thread t = threadVar.get();
            if (t == null) {
                return getValue();
            }
            try {
                t.join();
            }
            catch (InterruptedException e) {
                // propagate
                Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
                return null;
            }
        }
    }

    public SwingWorker() {
        final Runnable doFinished = new Runnable() {
           public void run() { finished(); }
        };

        Runnable doConstruct = new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    setValue(construct());
                }
                finally {
                    threadVar.clear();
                }

              SwingUtilities.invokeLater(doFinished);
            }
        };

        Thread t = new Thread(doConstruct);
        threadVar = new ThreadVar(t);
        t.start();
    }
}

public class Task{
  public void go() {
      current = 0;
      final SwingWorker worker = new SwingWorker() {

pure-ftpd-mysql, [ERROR] Home directory not available – aborting

groupadd -g 2001 ftpgroup
useradd -u 2001 -s /bin/false -d /bin/null -c “pureftpd user” -g ftpgroup ftpuser

Instead of this dummy ftpuser account setting when they want to create real linux account.
they may get this error “Home directory not available – abort” even if they set CreateHomeDir to yes.

Solution:
the last existing in the home path should be own by root.
for example, we want to create somebody’s home directory when he log in, /home/ftpuser/somebody
then the last existing directory ‘ftpuer’ may look like this,
drwxr-xr-x 2 root ftpgroup 4096 2008-04-15 11:20 ftpuser

what’s static?

First of all, the meaning of static in java is embedded or belong to a specific class not to its instance, and therefore there is no such static class.

• There is no such static class
• Embedded or belong to a specific class
• Global variable
• No need to load and create its instance

Most of methods and variables in Math class are static, because those are not need to be instanced in most of cases. we just use return value of PI or max(int a, int b).

class Bicycle {

private static int numberOfBicycles = 0;
private int id;

public Bicycle() {
id = ++numberOfBicycles;
}

public static int getNumberOfBicycles() {
return numberOfBicycles;
}
public int getID() {
return id;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
Bicycle b1 = new Bicycle();
Bicycle b2 = new Bicycle();

System.out.println(“static result : “+getNumberOfBicycles());
System.out.println(“static result : “+numberOfBicycles);
System.out.println(“instance result : “+b1.getID());
System.out.println(“instance result : “+b2.getID());
}
}

Another characteristic of static is that even if we create instance of a class, jvm does not create instance variables for static resources. in above source code, there is no difference calling b1.getNumberOfBicycles(), b2.getNumberOfBicycles() and just getNumberOfBicycles() or directly numberOfBicycles
that mean we should call static variable with its class name because it’s belong to it. just like Bicycle.numberOfBicycles or in this example, getNumberOfBicycles() because we have a getter.
otherwise get confused.

SQL Style, Theta vs. ANSI

Theta Style:
SELECT i.order_id, p.product_id, p.name, p.desc
FROM CustomerItem i, Product p
WHERE i.product_id = p.product_id
AND i.order_id = 84463;

ANSI Style:
SELECT i.order_id, p.product_id, p.name, p.desc
FROM CustomerItem i
INNER JOIN Product p ON i.product_id = p.product_id
WHERE i.order_id = 84463;

Sometimes, it’s hard to realized whether there is other style of SQL. Obviously there are two different SQL style. theta is older and more obscure but many people still use it.

Interview questions

• what’s difference C++ and java
• explain about java static
• is java use call by reference or call by value
• get the algorithm to fine nth value from the last element in single linked list, and write code

all questions look pretty easy though,

anyway, the last algorithm question. because it’s just one direction single linked list, we should trouble from the start node to the last node. then we can figure out how many elements in that linked list when we reached the last element. then we can simply travel again from the start node to (m-n)th element. complexity is O(n).
I was trying to bring up some other data structure like stack or hash table but, all those are not good in terms of space efficiency. we do not have to wast precious resource which doesn’t increase the performance that much.
