Using Chrome as Web Browser in Eclipse on Mac OS X

Today a short one: If you want to use Google Chrome as the default web browser in Eclipse on Mac OS X, just do the following (of course after you installed Chrome).
  1. In Eclipse open the "Preferences" dialog
  2. Select "General ->Web Browser"
  3. Choose "New"
  4. Enter the information in the dialog as shown in the screenshot below.
  5. Click "OK"
  6. Check the button next to the newly created entry "Google Chrome"
  7. Click "Apply"



Now Chrome will be taken when you select a URL to be opened in Eclipse.

CQRS - Command Query Responsibility Segregation

A lot of information systems have been built with a data manipulation focus in mind. Often CRUD (create, read, update delete) operations built on top of a predefined relational data model are the first functionalities that are implemented and lay out as a foundation for the rest of an application. This is mainly because when we think about information systems we have a mental model of some record structure where we can create new records, read records, update existing records, and delete records. This had been learned throughout the last decade of data centric and transaction oriented IT systems. This approach often leads to shortcomings when it comes to query and analyze the system's data. Classical layered architecture This is where CQRS comes into the game. CQRS stands for Command Query Responsibility Segregation and has been first described by Greg Young and later on by Martin Fowler. This architectural pattern calls for dividing the software architecture into two parts...

Create a Bearer token in Scala

Bearer tokens are a standard which is used in OAuth 2.0 . Although there have been discussions if the security mechanisms are significantly weaker than the use of using signatures as many implementations of OAuth 1.0 did (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-http-mac-00 ), bearer tokens are part of the OAuth 2.0 specification and therefore widely adopted in nearly all implementations. The syntax of Bearer tokens is specified in RFC6750 ( http://http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750 ) This is a lean utils object to create specification compliant Bearers in Scala using the java.security.SecureRandom implementation as a randomizer. The standard generate function returns a token of 32 byte length. A second polymorphic functions allows for the generation of a token of individual size. import scala.util._ import java.security.SecureRandom /* * Generates a Bearer Token with the length of 32 characters according to the * specification RFC6750 (http://http://tools.ietf...

Moore's Law and Amdahl's law

Until the mid oft he 2000’s, there was some kind of an unbreakable fact regarding the vertical scalability of computer hardware and therefore the underlying scaling rules for computer software: Moore’s law. Moore’s law states that the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. In good old times of single core processors this meant that also the computing power doubled by this effect. This was a safe harbour for gaining performance in software development. The time was with you, you just had to wait and your execution was getting faster without any changes in the software architecture. Moore’s law is still a valid rule of thumb, but times for the software developers and architects have changed. Although the number of transistors is still growing rapidly, this results in more processor cores since the mid of the 2000’s which means a shift of the vertical scaling approach to horizontal scaling. This also means to gain a positive impact from micro...
