The slow death of IE 6

Some times ago, I did a talk about IE6 and the browsers market share. And now I decided to publish my slides. The problem today, in my opinion, is not anymore asking to the end user at home to change it, but companies that don't want to invest in a re-engineering of their legacy application. Today, more and more websites decided to deprecate IE6 like Youtube (see: Youtube said goodbye to IE6), this will have two impacts, a better user experience for the user and decrease the cost of development to keep compatibility with a browser old than quite 8 year.
You are free to reuse or modify this presentation, to argue in your company to switch to another browser than IE6.

PHP raytrace slower than JavaScript

Some times ago,
During the period on all innovation in JavaScript engine (TraceMonkey, V8, SquirrelFish Extreme), I asked me if it was possible to do the same improvement in the PHP engine. But I don't had time to investigate more in this way.

Before searching how to improve it, can be useful to benchmark it.
For this, a new RFC is available on http://wiki.php.net. And a development of some benchmark already existing in Javascript is started. You can find on http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-benchmarks/ already 2 V8 benchmarks.
I propose you another benchmark, raytracer.phar(43k). It look like 10x slower than the equivalent in JavaScript(v8-raytrace.tar.gz(22k)) run under Google Chrome. I will investigate more on these benchmarks.

If you have 5 minutes, download these two benchmarks and do the comparison by yourself. And with some minutes more, just send me the results with the configuration used.

Code source: raytracer.tar.gz(9k)

GR20

Mise à jour du 8 juillet : j'ai oublié de préciser que ce sont le genoux et rotules de sam.

Après une partie de petanque nocturne de sam. Un départ à 6h du matin. On attaque le col de bavella. J'ai du mal à grimper comme prévu. Mais ça se passe bien. Après le col on se décide à ne pas prendre la variante alpine vers le refuge d'asinao. Un refuge que on ne verra pas cette année. Le genoux et les rotules n'ont pas résisté. On demande à michel de venir nous cherchez. Le gr c'est fini pour cette année. J'aurai au moins bouclé le gr sud en 2 ans. Peut être encore de la rando, avant de revenir. Programme encore à définir. Plus de nouvelles les jour à venir.

GR20

Fin du premier jour de rando. Arrivée à Paliri vers 13h avec un départ à 5h30. Début un peu difficile. Mais la journée à été globalement ok, à part quelque courbature et petit bobo. La vue à partir du refuge est magnifique. Et nous avons goûté au joie, de la douche froide et des toilette turc, qui vont faire parti de nos quotidien. Petit dîner et soirée calme avant d'entamer la second étape.
