Does anyone know of a good dictionary API or ruby library to lookup the definitions of words?
I'm thinking it should work something like:
I call get_definition(word)
It returns the definition for that word (ideally in some way to easily format the definition for display.
Thanks

Wordnik.com has several word-info APIs, including a definitions API. More info is here: http://developer.wordnik.com/
[I work for Wordnik. We will have more APIs soon, let us know what you want!]

I discovered a webservice for this yesterday.
Go to the British Council homepage and double click on any word (that isn't already a hyperlink).
This should open a popup window with a Cambridge Dictionary definition in it. The API is relatively simple (and it is a public API, I checked it yesterday):
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/learnenglish/results.asp?searchword=SEARCH_PHRASE&dict=L
For reference, here's the code they use to launch this on double-click:
/* BC double-click pop-up dictionary */
var NS = (navigator.appName == "Netscape" || navigator.product == 'Gecko') ? 1 : 0;
if (NS) document.captureEvents(Event.DBLCLICK);
document.ondblclick = dict;
var dictvar;
function dict() {
if (NS) {
t = document.getSelection();
pass_to_dictionary(t);
} else {
t = document.selection.createRange();
if(document.selection.type == 'Text' && t.text != '') {
document.selection.empty();
pass_to_dictionary(t.text);
}
}
}
function pass_to_dictionary(text) {
//alert(text);
if (text > '') {
window.open('http://dictionary.cambridge.org/learnenglish/results.asp?searchword='+text+ '&dict=L', 'dict_win', 'width=650,height=400,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes');
}
}

Ruby-WordNet sounds like it does what you're looking for:
Ruby-WordNet is a Ruby interface to
the WordNet® Lexical Database. WordNet
is an online lexical reference system
whose design is inspired by current
psycholinguistic theories of human
lexical memory. English nouns, verbs,
adjectives and adverbs are organized
into synonym sets, each representing
one underlying lexical concept.
Different relations link the synonym
sets.

there's also wrappers for dictionary.com's API (a few years old)

I have the task to create a dropdown list of languages in different languages. The dropdown isn't problem.
But I don't know how to collect all languages (found this answer in StackOverflow List of all country languages for dropdown select menu HTML FORM), but I need to translate these languages in French, German, Swedish, Danish, Dutch languages.
Maybe, someone knows libraries or something else.
Stack of the project: Laravel and Vue.js.
Thanks for helping.
I found some interesting packages which might help:
meikidd/iso-639-1
You can read in the documentation there is:
ISO6391.getAllNativeNames() //['Afaraf','аҧсуа бызшәа', ... ,'isiZulu' ]
petercoles/Multilingual-Language-List
You need to read the documentation and to see if that fits your needs.
In your case you will need something mentioned in docs:
$languageKeys = Languages::lookup('major')->keys()->toArray();
// returns ['ab', ... 'zu']
$mixedLanguages = Languages::lookup($languageKeys, 'mixed');
// returns
{
"af": "Afrikaans",
"ak": "Akan",
"sq": "shqip",
"am": "አማርኛ",
"ar": "العربية",
"hy": "հայերեն",
"as": "অসমীয়া",
...
"zu": "isiZulu"
}
I haven't tested these packages but they seem ok to me.
I hope this will help you a little.
Good luck!

I've been working on some ruby libraries with C extensions now. And I want to give users access to the irb#help method, e.g:
> help("Array#empty?")
# Prints documentation for the method.
I've been using the same way to name functions as ruby core, and the same documentation pattern. However, irb always tell me that there is Nothing known about FastPolyline.decode.
Here's my method:
/*
* call-seq:
* FastPolylines.decode([[1,1]]) -> String
*
* Decodes a polyline.
*/
static VALUE
decode(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self) {
I've tried naming the method various ways, such as rb_FastPolylines__decode, rb_fast_polylines_decode, rb_decode. None worked..
I've been looking on internet, but couldn't find any convincing resource on How to document a ruby C extension. Do you have any inputs on this ?

This might be a domain-specific language (DSL). I pulled it from the GMC Inspire Designer user manual. It's like C++/Java/C# but I don't think any of those has a function keyword:
function stringIsLong(String Parameter1) : Bool
{
return Parameter1.Length > 20;
}
GMC Inspire runs on Windows and Linux, possibly under Mono, but I have no idea.
Reading deep in the PDF you provided the link for, there is a reference to developing DLLs in C or C#. I would guess that it is a slightly customised version of one of those.
I'm not sute, but this seems like Javascript function, here the link about javascript functions, in this case there is the function keyword.
Here a example:
function myFunction(p1, p2) {
return p1 * p2; // The function returns the product of p1 and p2
}

Is there a library usable in Fortran, which allows the usage of sparse dynamic arrays (hash/dictionary like) besides the Judy arrays?
I have created an abstracted dictionary in fortran which might suit your needs.
See: https://github.com/zerothi/fdict
Basically it lets you do
type(dict) :: dic, dic2
dic = ('KEY'.kv.1)
dic = dic //('next'.kv. (/3.,5.,6./))
dic = dic //('string'.kv.'Hello world')
dic2 = ('string2'.kv.'Test')
dic = dic // ('dic2'.kvp.dic2)
Where you can save all intrinsic types and it can easily be extended to contain other data-types, it defaults to initially contain itself as another value. (the last line retains a dictionary as a pointer)
It does .kv. == key : value designation which is a deep copy, and
.kvp. == key : pointer which is a reference copy.
In this way you can store huge data without having to duplicate data and retrieve the pointer at some later point.
To elaborate on the idea, all data is stored as address pointers using a transfer call from a derived type containing the data pointer. In this way you trick the compiler to hand you the address of the fortran derived type, but forces you to retrieve it in the exact same manner.
By .kv. a pointer of the data-type is allocated and subsequently pointed to by the data-container, then afterwards the allocated pointer is nullifyied and lost thus forcing the user to know what they are doing (there is no garbage-collector in it ;) ).
By .kvp. the pointer is directly saved without duplicating any memory.
The nice thing is that it is fortran90 compliant.
Haven't seen one built-in, but google returns a few:
FLibs: http://flibs.sourceforge.net/

SNMP MIB Visualizer recommendations? [closed]

Are there any free visualization tools for MIBs? I've been assigned some SNMP trap normalization/enrichment work and been given Cisco ONS 15454s to start with. The MIBs seem more complex than others I have seen. Lots of object cross-references, including some to objects that are defined in other MIBs and exported. A quick example of trying to trace down the port number of an alarm:
Alarm definition:
Cerent454AlarmEntry ::= SEQUENCE {
cerent454AlarmIndex INTEGER,
cerent454AlarmObjectType Cerent454EntityClass,
cerent454AlarmSlotNumber INTEGER,
cerent454AlarmPortNumber CerentPortNumber,
cerent454AlarmLineNumber INTEGER,
cerent454AlarmObjectIndex INTEGER,
cerent454AlarmType Cerent454AlarmType,
cerent454AlarmState CerentNotificationClass,
cerent454AlarmTimeStamp TimeStamp,
cerent454AlarmObjectName DisplayString,
cerent454AlarmAdditionalInfo DisplayString
}
CerentPortNumber references from the same file (CERENT-454.mib):
IMPORTS
(...)
CerentPortNumber
FROM CERENT-TC
(...)
cerent454AlarmPortNumber OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX CerentPortNumber
ACCESS read-only
STATUS mandatory
DESCRIPTION
"This will indicate what is the port
of the object which raised this alarm."
::= { cerent454AlarmEntry 40 }
The actual syntax for CerentPortNumber, from CERENT-TC.mib:
CerentPortNumber ::=
INTEGER
{ unknown (1),
port0 (5),
port1 (10),
port2 (20),
(...)
port62 (620),
port63 (630),
port64 (640),
portAll (10240)
}
Maybe this isn't as complex as it feels, but this is just one small example. It feels like there should be a GUI-based "explorer" type app that would allow me to see these references easily without a lot of back and forth between files and locations in files. Any recommendations?
I use iReasoning's MIB Browser.
The one I used to use was MIB Browser.
But looking for MIB viewer on google gives you lots of other solutions.
I expect you can use Mgsoft-MIB Browser trail version for some extent.

You can use tkmib and snmpb in Linux-land.
