Fwd: FW: Porting Suggestions: Lucene to Ruby; Perl Text::Balanced

Erik Hatcher

9/27/2003 1:58:00 PM

I was alerted about me being mentioned on ruby-talk, as I was not
subscribed. I'm now here!

rucene, although poorly named (suggestions welcome!), is currently a
bit stalled because of Java Lucene work I'm doing. My eventual goal is
to get the Ruby port to be even more performant than the Java version -
although I suspect this will be difficult to achieve. What is there
now is just the very lowest level file and RAM I/O API which mirrors
the Java API at that level. I've tested Ruby writing and Java reading
and vice versa and it worked. There are lots more layers on top of
this though before its even remotely usable. I'd love others to join
the project! I looked at the archives on this thread and saw someone
had made a start at this already - it would be great to merge efforts
somehow.

Erik

I planned to call mine TextIndexer but I will not have time to finish it
and since you started...

I started doing a port earlier this year but then stalled. Sounds like
you got longer than me or about the same so maybe no idea to merge.
When you put some code up I''ll try to add some pieces.

This interests me, because I''ve suspected there must be a tool
like this in existence. Too many times I have noticed someone
pop out of nowhere to respond to a reference to his name being
mentioned. (Three I can think of are A****r M****r, P*****k
L***n, and most recently B****e S********p. :)

Rather like accidentally mentioning a demon''s name and thereby
summoning him. But most supernatural entities have to have
their names mentioned thrice in succession, whereas on Usenet,
once is enough.

What''s the scoop on how this alert works, anyway?

I only saw the last one,
and assumed that was someone channelling him...

Are we going to have to start referring to The Other Scripting Language
That Must Not Be Named, then?

I assumed it was Google Groups? I prefer the summoning theory however.
Kilfiles versus pentagrams and binding rituals, hmm....

Well, I had forgotten about James Parry aka "Kibo" as I have only
heard about him and never encountered him in the real world
(of Usenet).

But his trick far predates dejanews which was bought by Google.
I assume it involves running a filter against a newsfeed.

Hi!

Well, this brings up an interesting question on the reordering of
letters in a word: Composita (concatenated words).

The name VanderWerf seems to be of dutch origin - ''van der Werf''.

This only rarely occurs in English but is the way things are in
German - like in the word ''Blitzkrieg'' (I did only choose it because
many speakers of English know it).

It is composed of ''Blitz'' (in this case meaning: taking place very
rapidly) and ''Krieg'' (war). To keep everything readable one should
keep ''B'', ''z'', ''k'', and ''g'' in position and not just ''B'' and ''k''.
This cannot be done automatically - there is no rule for this :-<
