Python Package Index : roles 0.6.0

by karlcow

Library for Role based development.

Pythonic implementation of the DCI (Data Context Interaction) pattern (http://www.artima.com/articles/dci_vision.html).

The big difference with mixins is that this role is applied only to the subject instance, not to the subject class (alas, a new class is constructed).

Roles can be assigned and revoked. Multiple roles can be applied to an instance. Revocation can happen in any particular order.

]]> Resolutions - the top three most used monitor resolutions - pixel width and height http://blog.paurian.com/2009/06/resolutions.html Resolutions I was looking for the top three most used monitor resolutions - pixel width and height - for making desktop wallpapers in my flickr stream. It dawned on me that knowing the three most used pixel counts weren't as important as moderately high resolution images in the correct format ratios. Here are the top three as of June 2009. 1. 1024x768 ( 1:1.33) 2. 1280x1024 ( 1:1.25 ) 3. 1280x800 ( 1:1.6 ) For example, the MacBook Pro supports 1440x900, which is the same dimensions as the 1280x800. Although there will be some scaling, the 26% difference of area between the two shouldn't cause enough stretching to make the image unpleasant as a desktop background. 2009-10-13T00:27:45Z decembre site, webdesign, ecran, resolution

]]> Google Answers: Verify quote from Hermann Goering - Nuremburg Trials http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/235519.html Here is the complete quote, with a comment by Gilbert that occurred midway through it: "Nazi leader Hermann Goering, interviewed by Gustave Gilbert during the Easter recess of the Nuremberg trials, 1946 April 18, quoted in Gilbert's book 'Nuremberg Diary.' Goering: Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Gilbert: There is one difference. In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars. Goering: Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." 2009-08-29T00:13:01Z ericpaul NuremburgTrials, fascism, nwo, goering, war
