How to fix Chrome frozon issue when loading applet?

I suffered a lot by chrome when embedding the applet into page during these days.
Fortunately, I figure out what the tricky parts of it:)

1) Firstly, we need get rid of all security issues which should be addressed by jarsigner with the following MANIFEST.MF

Manifest-Version: 1.0


Application-Library-Allowable-Codebase: *
Caller-Allowable-Codebase: *
Codebase: *
Permissions: all-permissions

Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver
Application-Name: XXXXX
Build-Jdk: 1.7.0_45
Built-By: lzheng
Created-By: Apache Maven 3.0.4
Here is the reference for all applet jar manifest: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/manifest.html
If you know nothing about jarsigner, the chrome frozen issue is out of your ability to resolve it:)

2) After that, the code work perfectly on firefox but randomly freeze the chrome browser which depress me a lot.
Is it a chrome issue? yes and no.
Chrome just didn't handle the exceptions correctly when we call applet method before applet's get actually started. We need to call applet method after applet's start life cycle.

Here is applet's life cycle:
public class Simple extends Applet {

    StringBuffer buffer;

    public void init() {
        System.out.println("initializing... ");
    }

    public void start() {
        System.out.println("starting... ");
    }

    public void stop() {
        System.out.println("stopping... ");
    }

    public void destroy() {
        System.out.println("preparing for unloading...");
    }
}

We need to override the start() function to tell page, the applet  start successfully. 
@Override public void start() { win.eval("onAppletStartHandler();"); //onAppletStartHandler is the callback function defined in JS. }
we put related applet code which are used to get information automatically using applet when page get loaded to "onAppletStartHandler()".


Easy fix, then chrome stuck issue should go away:)

How to fix "ValueError when trying to compile python module with VC Express"

When I tried to compile the python, I always get compile issue as following: ------------ ... File "C:\Python26\lib\ distutils\msvc9compiler.py ", line 358, in initialize vc_env = query_vcvarsall(VERSION, plat_spec) File "C:\Python26\lib\ distutils\msvc9compiler.py ", line 274, in query_vcvarsall raise ValueError(str(list(result.keys()))) ValueError: [u'path'] --------------------- Python community discussed a lot but no solution: http://bugs.python.org/issue7511 The root cause is because the latest visual studio change the *.bat file a lot especially on 64bit env. The python 2.7 didn't update the path accordingly. Based on the assumption above, the following solution worked for me. To install Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition with all required components: 1. Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition. The main Visual Studio 2008 Express installer is available from (the C++ installer name is vcsetup.exe): https://ww

Per actual ResultSet usage, it is really helpful if converted as Stream.

Interview for System Design 1: Designing a URL Shortening service like TinyURL.

Problem:  This service will provide short aliases redirecting to long URLs. Step 1: Requirement Analysis Understand the the basic core features: 1. create short url from long url. 2. get the long url from  the short url.  Nice to have feature: 3. will url get expired in certain time? 4. could user define their customized short url? here is some questions need to clarify:  1. How long we need keep the url?  (it will have impact on storage, it is very import to understand to how long will the data be if such data will be stored in local storage). 2. Do we allow N : 1 or only 1: 1 mapping? (have impact about algorithm and data storage.  Step 2:   Estimation Of  Resource Usage common resources: data storage || web services: QPS Let's the estimation right now:  Assume DAU is about 500M,  Create: and one user will create new one item every 5 days. so the total creation per Second will be a. yearly new record: 500M/5 * 365 ~ 50G, new records a. monthly storage: 500M/5 * 100  * 30 = 100M *
