In the last few years, the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) has undergone a major transition from GCC version 3 to version 4. With GCC 4 comes a new optimization framework (and new intermediate code representation), new target and language support, and a variety of new attributes and options. Get to know the major new features and their benefits.
GCC is the cornerstone of development in both the open source and closed source worlds. It’s the enabler of architectures and operating systems. When a new processor appears, its success depends on a version of GCC that will support it (a back end that can generate code for it). GCC is also the enabler of Linux®. Linux as an operating system is widely successful because it is run on so many different architectures. Once again, a port of GCC to the target environment enables Linux to be ported and run on it. Without trying to put too fine a point on it, GCC paves the way for Linux and embedded development.
But GCC can’t just sit still. New processor architectures continue to appear, and new research finds better ways to optimize and generate code. So GCC moves forward and has now matured into its fourth major release. This article explores the fundamental changes in GCC version 4 to show you why—if you haven’t switched yet—the time has come to use the compiler standard.

In this interview filmed during QCon London 2008, Ted Neward, author of “Effective Enterprise Java”, talks about languages, statical, dynamical, objectual or functional. He dives into Java, C#, C++, Haskell, Scala, VB, and Lisp, to name some of them, comparing the benefits and disadvantages of using one or another.
Ted Neward has been using C++ since 1991, Java since 1997, and .NET since 2000. He is a .NET instructor with PluralSight, teaches Java independently, speaks at conferences worldwide in both the Java and .NET communities, writes for MSDN, InfoQ and TheServerSide, authored the books C# In a Nutshell, SSCLI Essentials and Effective Enterprise Java, among others

Estava lendo a reportagem da Revista Época cujo o tema é: “As melhores invenções devem beneficiar também os mais pobres”. Foi ai que me interessei pelo tema Capitalismo Criativo que li na reportagem completa Em busca do capitalismo criativo. . Na verdade baseado nessa minha pesquisa encontrei alguns artigos e reportagens interessantes:
A New Approach to Capitalism in the 21st Century – O discurso do Bill Gates no World Economic Forum. O transcript do discurso do Bill Gates está disponível aqui.
Bill Gates Issues Call For Kinder Capitalism – Um resumo do discurso do Bill Gates no Wall Street Journal, no que tange o tema Capitalismo Criativo.
Making Capitalism More Creative – Reportagem da revista TIME, sobre Capitalismo Criativo.

Why do tech writers use so much jargon ?
David Pogue wrote that he doesn’t know. Maybe it’s self-aggrandizement or they want to lord their knowledge over everybody else.
Maybe it’s laziness or they can’t be bothered to fish for a plain-English word. Maybe it’s just habit or they spend all day talking shop with other nerds, so they slip into technospeak when they write for larger audiences.

Cloud computing is a trap, warns GNU founder Richard Stallman.
Web-based programs like Google’s Gmail will force people to buy into locked, proprietary systems that will cost more and more over time, according to the free software campaigner.

Don’t Let Architecture Astronauts Scare You Article was written 2001, but It’s still up to date.
I disassemble two parts of that article that I’ve thought over:
These are the people I call Architecture Astronauts. It’s very hard to get them to write code or design programs, because they won’t stop thinking about Architecture. They’re astronauts because they are above the oxygen level, I don’t know how they’re breathing. They tend to work for really big companies that can afford to have lots of unproductive people with really advanced degrees that don’t contribute to the bottom line.
Remember that the architecture people are solving problems that they think they can solve, not problems which are useful to solve. Soap + WSDL may be the Hot New Thing, but it doesn’t really let you do anything you couldn’t do before using other technologies — if you had a reason to. All that Distributed Services Nirvana the architecture astronauts are blathering about was promised to us in the past, if we used DCOM, or JavaBeans, or OSF DCE, or CORBA.
Alan Braz wrote in his Sametime message: Stop Talking, Start Doing. I found the ad video that explain the main idea, clicking on “Globalization” video.
In few words, we can brief both the article and the IBM Ad Video: Stop designing useless software architecture, Starting coding useful software.
Are you learning or using new technology because It is a hype or buzzword ?
Or are you learning or using new technology because It contributes to the bottom line ?
Any thoughts ?
