Wolfram Alpha now analyzes literary works



Search-analytical service Wolfram Alpha continues to make new functions. In General, the service developers do not sleep and try each month to submit something new. Then they add a feature to track aircraft when possible a couple of clicks to find out what kind of plane flew over my head what airline it belongs to, and how many passengers. Now this search engine has learned to analyze literary works (only in English). But not as a literary critic, but as a "worker" of the Department of statistics.

now, Wolfram Alpha can now at the user's request to determine characteristics such famous literary works as the total number of words (displaying the time to read this work), the total number of unique words total number of unique bases of words, average number of characters per word and the longest word. There are other characteristics of the text literary works, for which Wolfram Alpha can show you.



To get the right data you can not just by entering the name of the book (eng. lang.) in the search string. You can also enter the query (Yes, again in English) of the "the longest words in "Romeo and Juliet".

Probably, such information does not need a very large number of people, because one of us will deal with statistical analysis of "War and peace", for example? But some experts, such data are still needed. Well, everyone else can just play around with the new feature — maybe it will be able to find something useful for yourself? In any case, I would be interested to know how many words in the most favorite works.

Yet available not many literary works that Wolfram Alpha can analyze. But the developers, in their own words, constantly work to such works became more and more.

Automatically create Liquibase migrations for PostgreSQL

Изображение
Working with Liquibase always brings confidence in the fact that the database objects are in the same condition in which you want it. It is this confidence and makes system migrations so popular databases. Today I want to tell you how to make using liquibase a bit easier. If you write a migration by hand, and your target database is PostgreSQL, then read this article, I am sure, the time spent on reading the article will be repaid with interest. I hope you already know how to work with Liquibase, so only two words describe how the system works. In order to make changes in the database, you need to create a migration file (changeset) that you need to specify in the file change log (changelog), after which the migration can be successfully applied to the target database. Undeniable and obvious benefit of this approach is the ability to rollback the changes. In my opinion, liquibase, there is only one drawback — the automatic rollback of changes only works only if the mi

the Background application on androidphone when you install the application Vkontakte is possible to use it as a provider of contacts to synchronize the contacts from Facebook with contacts in your address book. In this case stretches the avatar, date of birth, address, phone numbers, etc. When I after prolonged use HTC Wildfire S rated and are so used to this that he wanted to find a similar to the iPhone. Not found, so we took it and made his own — Synchronizer VKontakte :) It was back in November of last year. The application was done fairly quickly — it uses quite a few functions of Vkontakte API and functionality with the address book of the iPhone. But when we started to deal with the automatic matching of contacts, it was fun. Compare head-on by name, last name and phone number was easy to do, easy, and worked through it quickly. But found only 20 percent of coincidences of the contacts from what is provider in Android. Of course, only direct hits do not sui

/ > the time Machine Internet Archive is the largest and well-known archive that preserves web pages since 1995. Besides him there are a dozen other services, which are also archived to the web: the indexes of search engines and industry-specific archives like Archive-It , UK Web Archive , Cite Web , ArchiefWeb , Diigo . Interesting to know how many web pages gets into these files, relative to the total number of documents in the Internet? It is known that the base of the Internet Archive for 2011 contains more than 2.7 billion URIs , many of them in multiple copies taken at different points in time. For example, the home page of Habra "photographed" already 518 times since July 3, 2006 . It is also known that the base reference Google five years ago overstepped the mark in trillion unique URLS , although many of the documents were duplicated. Google is not able to perform all URLS, so the company decided to count the number of documents in the Internet a
