  • The Schematron differs in basic concept from other schema languages in that it not based on grammars but on finding tree patterns in the parsed document. This approach allows many kinds of structures to be represented which are inconvenient and difficult in grammar-based schema languages. If you know XPath or the XSLT expression language, you can start to use The Schematron immediately.

    And it has free and open source implementations available. The Schematron is trivially simple to implement on top of XSLT and to customize. (There are also implementations in Python and Perl)

    The Schematron allows you to develop and mix two kinds of schemas:

    * Report elements allow you to diagnose which variant of a language you are dealing with.
    * Assert elements allow you to confirm that the document conforms to a particular schema.

  • Programmers are like vampires. They're frequently up all night, paler than death itself, and generally afraid of being exposed to daylight. Oh yes, and they tend think of themselves (or at least their code) as immortal.

    System Administrators are like werewolves. They may look outwardly ordinary, but are incredibly strong, mostly invulnerable to stuff that would kill regular people — and prone to strange transformations during a moon "outage".

  • When Iron Maiden walked into Finnegan's Pub in Norway and asked for 27 Slippery Nipples, the bartender did not disappoint. Then they asked for 78 pints of Guiness, 13 Jack Daniels shots, 29 glass "husets" and something else called an "Ossian Ale," among other things. A normal person would call this an epic night out, and an expensive one at that — the total on the bottom of the receipt equals roughly $3,250 USD. But we have an idea of what Iron Maiden would call it: Tuesday.

  • We received the following photos last night from a person who works with this girl. Her name is Jenny (not confirmed) – we're working our contact for Jenny's last name. Yesterday morning, Jenny quit her job with a (flash)bang by emailing these photos to the entire office, about 20 employees we're told. Awesome doesn't begin to describe this office heroine. Check back as we will be updating if we get more details.
    UPDATE: WE have made contact with Jenny and will be posting a follow-up story tomorrow morning with more information.

  • oskus vuosia sitten pyörän ja auton välinen väistämisvelvollisuus oli kovin yksinkertainen asia. Polkupyörä oli ajoneuvo, jolla oli tasa-arvoisessa risteyksessä väistämisvelvollisuus, jos auto tuli oikealta ja päin vastoin. Paljon syntyi onnettomuuksia ja eduskunta päätti muuttaa lakia niin, että pyörä on väistämisvelvollinen silloin tällöin ja joskus taas ei. Sen jälkeen risteysajo on mennyt hankalaksi.
