15 Sorting Algorithms in 6 Minutes
Visualization and "audibilization" of 15 Sorting Algorithms in 6 Minutes. Sorts random shuffles of integers, with both speed and the number of items adapted to each algorithm's complexity. The algorithms are: selection sort, insertion sort, quick sort, merge sort, heap sort, radix sort (LSD), radix sort (MSD), std::sort (intro sort), std::stable_sort (adaptive merge sort), shell sort, bubble sort, cocktail shaker sort, gnome sort, bitonic sort and bogo sort (30 seconds of it).

Converting from Joda-Time to java.time
What steps are needed to upgrade from Joda-Time to Java SE 8 date and time (JSR-310)?
From Joda-Time to java.time
Joda-Time has been a very successful date and time library,
widely used and making a real difference to many applications over the past 12 years or so.
But if you are moving your application to Java SE 8, its time to consider moving on to
java.time, formerly known as JSR-310.
The java.time library contains many of the lessons learned from Joda-Time,
including stricter null handling and a better approach to multiple calendar systems.
I use the phraseology that java.time is "inspired by Joda-Time", rather than an exact derivation,
however many concepts will be familiar.

Why JSR-310 isn't Joda-Time
One question that has been repeatedly asked is why JSR-310 wasn't simply the same as Joda-Time. I hope to expain some reasons here.
Joda-Time as JSR-310?
At its heart, JSR-310 is an effort to add a quality date and time library to the JDK. So, since most people consider Joda-Time to be a quality library, why not include it directly in the JDK?
Well, there is one key reason - Joda-Time has design flaws.

Vosotros Suecos, nosotros Griegos
Si os hacéis los Suecos, nos haremos los Griegos!!
Esta frase hoy, tiene más sentido que nunca.
¿El hombre del día? Tsipras por supuesto.
El hombre del día es, sin lugar a dudas, Alexis Tsipras. Ha tenido un respaldo del 61.31%, casi nada.
Hay que reconocerle que ha tenido un par, arriesgando el verse reprobado en su actitud de no ceder ante las presiones de la Troika. Pero es que cuando se promete algo hay que cumplirlo o preguntar a los que has prometido si es momento de incumplir lo prometido. Vamos digo yo.
¿La bandera del día? La Griega por supuesto.
vilo tras el referéndum de ayer.
Vale que la pregunta estaba un poco enrevesada. Vale que hacía
referencia a documentos que poca gente ha podido leer y menos
entender. Vale que el OXI/No estaba antes, pero lo mismo puede decirse
de poner el NAI/Sí delante.Pero votar nunca es malo. Sobre todo cuando
se hace con libertad. Aún pueden enseñarnos los precursores de la
democracia.

Missing Android Material Components
Intro
Hello, my name is Dmytro Danylyk, I am developing Android Applications for about 4 years since G1 was released. I am finalist of Google Apps Developer Challenge 2012. I always try to help people on StackOverflow (8 000 reputation points. You may know me from my technical articles or open source libraries, like Process Buttons and Circular Progress Button, maybe some even used them.
Today I want to speak about Missing Android Material Components, which basically means Android Material Components which are present in Google Material Spec, but missing in Android SDK and AppCompat v7 library. Also I will share some gists and tutorials, recipes in general, of how to make those components.
But first, I would like to answer a question, which you will probably ask [more]

Cartas Nigerianas
No es la primera vez que me llega una de estas Cartas Nigerianas y supongo que no será la última. Aunque ésta ha sido de un tipo más elaborado que la mayoría, dista mucho de las que más.
Primero llegó un email extremadamente breve que podría ser para ofrecer algún proyecto de software, que los ha habido que han empezado casi tan breve.
i want your assist for project?
Aunque con ciertas sospechas, más bien muchas, pero con ganas de hacerle perder el tiempo llegado el caso, envié una respuesta breve cualquiera.
Y tras un día, ha llegado la siguiente respuesta, uno de los anzuelos de las Cartas de Nigeria más largos que me han llegado.
First of all I want to thank you for considering my proposal. One aspect I will
like to talk about is PARTNERSHIP. I strongly believe in the power and spirit of
Partnership in business. Partnership, it is all about mutual understanding,
mutual efforts /contribution and mutual benefits for all parties involved in the
partnership. On this note, I would want us to work as a team in pursuit of this
interest with utmost professionalism, transparency, commitment and
confidentiality.
The first thing I will do is to get you acquainted with the complete details (a
general overview) of this transaction so as to give you a foundation on which to
make a concrete decision. I actually got your email contact from a friend of
mine who works at the Chambers of Commerce here in the Hong Kong, I went to him
with the zeal of locating a possible business partner overseas who will assist
me in this project but note that I did not specify the nature of this business
to him due to the nature of the business.
I contacted you concerning a deceased customer Ishmael Abdullah Naqshbandi (An
Iraqi Crude oil merchant), and an investment he placed under our banks
management. Once again I would respectfully request that you keep the contents
of this mail confidential and respect the integrity of the information you come
by as a result of this mail. I am contacting on you independently and no one is
informed of this communication I would like to intimate you with certain facts
that I believe would be of interest to you.
In January 2001, Ishmael Abdullah Naqshbandi came to our bank to engage in
business discussions with our private banking division. He informed us that he
had a financial portfolio of 18.3 million United States dollars, which he wished
to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf. I was the officer assigned to his
case because of his high net worth profile; I made numerous suggestions in line
with my duties as the de-facto Head, Foreign Operation Dept of the private
banking sector, especially given the volume of funds he wished to put into our
bank. We met on numerous occasions prior to any investments being placed. I
encouraged him to consider various growth funds with prime ratings. The favoured
route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 600 traditional
stocks and bond managers and 300 managers of alternative investments. Based on
my advice, we spun the money around various opportunities and made attractive
margins for our first months of operation, the accrued profit and interest stood
at this point at 22.5 million United States dollars, this margin was not the
full potential of the fund but he desired low risk guaranteed returns on
investments.
Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war (U.S and Iraqi
war), Twelve years ago (2003). Again after the war another notification was sent
and still no response came from him. I immediately passed the task of locating
him to the internal investigations department of Dah Sing Bank Ltd. Information
started to trickle in that Ishmael Abdullah Naqshbandi and his family had been
killed during the war in a bomb blast that hit his home at Basrajra Samarra
where his personal oil well was. The bank immediately launched an investigation
into possible surviving next of kin to alert about the situation and also to
come forward to claim his estate. If you are familiar with private banking
affairs, those who patronize our services usually prefer anonymity, but also
some levels of detachment from conventional processes.
In his bio-data form, he listed no next of kin. In the field of private banking,
opening an account with us means no one will know of its existence. Accounts are
rarely held under a name; depositors use numbers and codes to make the accounts
anonymous. This bank even gives the choice to depositors of having their mail
sent to them or held at the bank itself, ensuring that there are no traces of
the account and as I said, rarely do they nominate next of kin. Private banking
clients apart from not nominating next of kin also usually in most cases leave
wills in our care, in this case; our now deceased client died in-testate. In
line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we
instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have
right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been
unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation
affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem. It is quite clear now
that our dear client died with no known or identifiable family member.
This leaves me as the only person with the full picture of what the prevailing
situation is in relation to the portfolio and the late beneficiary of the
deposit. According to practice, the Private banking sector will by the end of
this year broadcast a request for statement of claim to Dah Sing Bank Ltd,
failing to receive viable claims they will most probably revert the deposit to
Management of Dah Sing Bank Ltd. This will result in the money entering the Dah
Sing accounting system and the portfolio will be out of my hands and out of the
private banking division. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of
my country at the expiration of Twelve {12} years the funds will revert to the
ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. This
will not happen if I have my way.
What I wish to relate to you will smack off unethical practice but I want you to
understand something. It is only an outsider to the banking world who finds the
internal politics of the banking world aberrational. The world of private
banking especially is fraught with huge rewards for those who sit upon certain
chairs and oversee certain portfolios. You should have begun by now to put
together the general direction of what I propose. There is US $22,500,000.00
deposit just lying unclaimed. This bank has spent great amounts of money trying
to track the deceased's family; they have investigated for several months and
have found no identifiable family member. The investigation has come to an end.
My proposal; I am prepared to furnish the necessary details to you as the
closest surviving relation. I am also proposing that after successful execution
of the business deal and the money in your account, the funds be disbursed in
the ratio 40/60; 40% of the funds will go to you for offering yourself as the
next of kin and providing a foreign account especially an offshore account for
safe transfer of the funds and 60% will be for me. Please let me know in your
next correspondence if the above sharing ratio is okay by you because we can
fine-tune this based on our interactions incase you have any problem with it.
Following the master plan for this deal I am looking at a bank that have
transaction understanding with my bank as first point of transfer to put off
eyebrows that may be raised or to avoid unnecessary questioning.
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal. Once more, I ask that if you
find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail and forget I
ever contacted you, I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. Do not
destroy my career because you do not approve of my proposal. I am not a criminal
and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you
to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move.
Such opportunities only come one's way once in a lifetime. I cannot let this
chance pass me by. For once I find myself in total control of my destiny. This
chance won't pass me by and please do not let me miss my chance, if you will not
work with me let me know and let me move on with my life. I am a family man and
this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. I have evaluated
the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and
alerting my bank. If you give me positive signals, I will give you the relevant
modus operandi to initiate this process towards a conclusion.
I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences,
but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success
and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. This is the one truth I have
learned from my private banking clients. Do not betray my confidence. I await
your response.
Sincerely,
Lung Peter, TANG

¿Cómo lanzar una piedra para que rebote muchas veces contra el agua?
¿Por qué cuando lanzamos una piedra al agua, rebota en lugar de hundirse? ¿Cuál es el secreto para maximizar el número de botes?
En 2004, un equipo dirigido por Christophe Clanet, del Centro Nacional de Investigación Científica de Francia (CNRS), publicó resultados teóricos y experimentales en la revista Nature.
Como sabe cualquier aficionado a hacer rebotar piedras, la forma, la velocidad y la velocidad de giro son importantes.
Sin embargo, el equipo francés demostró que lo más importante es el ángulo que toma la piedra con respecto al agua. Si la piedra golpea el agua de forma más pronunciada, se zambulle y se hunde.
Si el ángulo es demasiado pequeño, la piedra se ralentiza, pierde energía y no puede volver a rebotar. Según los investigadores, el ángulo ideal es de 20 grados con respecto al agua.
Además, cuanto más plana sea la piedra, más fuerte se lance y más giros dé, mejor.

¿Estoy gorda?
No, estas hermosa, sabrosa.
No te sobra ni te falta nada.
Estás como a mi me gusta.
No cambies.

¿Por qué me sigues a todas partes?
Por no poder soportar el dolor de la despedida.
Porque cuando dejo de verte el alma se me escapa en pos de ti.
