  2. Just for say, BaseX 12.3 is out, et c’est de la bombe ! In particular, the new XPath syntax for JSON and InvisibleXML. So good. #xquery #json #invisibleXML #basex

    Here we show the tiles from a random tiling (with wild tiling edges) that contain points along a Fibonacci spiral (or two)

  4. How To: XML-config для хранимых процедур MS SQL — создание, разбор, развёртывание

    Всем привет! Меня зовут Александр Гаврилов, я архитектор баз данных и аналитических систем в GRI. Если вы когда-нибудь пытались выполнить одну и ту же операцию с похожими таблицами в разных базах, да ещё и на разных серверах, то знаете, насколько это может быть мучительно. В этой статье я покажу один из рабочих вариантов, как упростить такую задачу, и заодно расскажу про интересную функцию XQuery, которая может неожиданно помочь.

  5. Despite rumours, #XML, #invisibleXML (#iXML) #XSLT, #XQuery all very much alive. They solve real problems and meet people’s needs.

    native XSLT in the browser might go away. So applications like wendellpiez.github.io/Pellucid might stop working (made by Wendell Piez) which is sad but won’t affect large corporations and their revenue.

    There is still no standard way to mark up a poem in HTML. No business case for it. But you can do it in XML with the #TEI.

  6. Did you know #XPath 3 (2016) is a Turing-complete functional and declarative language? As are #XSLT 3 (which uses XPath and #XQuery which extends it). And #XProc 3 is a data flow language that also uses XPath.

    These are widely used, powerful, efficient, and super pointy.

  11. #Balisage = balisage.net/ - seems to be going strong; it’s a conference about the theory behind, and practice of, document markup, especially #XML and related technologies such as #XProc #XSLT #XQuery #Schematron #RelaxNG #XPath #TextEncodingInitiative and many more.

    XML was badly hurt by people applying it to everything in sight, but for what XML was designed for and is good at, there is nothing better.

  16. Hey, fellow XML nerds & tag lovers!

    If you happen to be at Markup UK in this week, and got questions about eXist-db, want to talk about XQuery, native XML databases, or just rant about trying to force hierarchies into SQL tables?

    Juri and Duncan from the eXist-db core team will be in the house! Come say hi — we’d would be happy to talk 💬😄

    Day 20: Fish in glass

    I made this as a title image for a talk I gave this year called "Invisible Fish" (about using InvisibleXML as a driver for my art shell). I love this little guy.

  18. #GenerativeArt interlude

    New release of my art code libraries

    Implementations of the Archimedean solids plus a few other fun ones and an integrated better 3D rendering of them. Pens. Hobby curves.

    There's also a lot of future-looking infrastructure here (see: "maker functions" in the release notes), a fair amount of clean up, performance, etc. Click the "browse" link for detailed release notes.

    New release

    Fish

    You haven't seen a lot of new works out of my lately because I've been playing with a whole new (textual) interface to my underlying components.

    It is interesting when you have a different API with different affordances how you end up recasting/reworking a lot of things, so a lotta refactoring is happening too.

    Anyway, here is one of the outputs of
    "'unique huge diff-slant fish in some 10 deepsea tiling"

  21. #GenerativeArt interlude

    This week's little project is an experiment with using iXML to make a simple interface to my higher level drawing components.

  22. #GenerativeArt interlude

    Pre-#Balisage release of my art code

    mathling.com/

    What's new? More geometric operations, integer sequences, complex functions. KML parsing. Chloropleths. etc. As ever, more tests, examples, bug fixes; a certain amount of refactoring.

    The basic chaos game uses random vertex selection, perhaps constrained (e.g."don't pick the same vertex twice in a row").

    I experimented w. integer sequences of various sorts, e.g. the Fibonacci, which you take mod the #vertices. If you just use the first N numbers of this sequence repeated, and N < #points, interestingly, you only get N distinct points plotted!

    1/φ, regular pentagon: inventory, Recaman

  24. The fraction 1/φ works really well in most cases.

    Here we see how it behaves with 6 and 7 sides regular polygons with the vertex constraint that you can't pick the same vertex twice in a row

  26. @praxis Well, I worked for about 10 years in the #MapForce Team of #Altova altova.com/mapforce and I simply loved to integrate various standards like #XBRL #OOXML (Excel) and the internal engine for executing mapping. Furthermore code generators for #CSharp , #Java, #Cpp and exotic stuff like #XSLT and even #XQuery.

    In a #ComputerVision startup company (2000-2006) I played around with #ObjectDetection #Fingerprint and used #SupportVectorMachine which were modern in that years.
