Safari 4 Beta vs. Camino 2 Beta

日前 Apple 公佈了 Safari 4 Beta 給大家試用，我也去下載了! Apple 很貼心，會自動偵測你的 OS，然後 show 出對應可用的版本。(掌聲給 Apple 鼓勵一下)

Safari 4 Beta 幾個明顯的改變：
  • Top sites。這應該是抄襲 Google Chrome 的 idea，但介面則是濃濃的蘋果風!
  • Cover flow 檢視。可採用 iTune style 的檢視方式來瀏覽曾經造訪過的網頁內容。
  • Title 與 tab 的整合。這點也算是抄襲 Google Chrome 的 idea，但介面上自成一格，感覺比 Google Chrome 優!
  • 執行效能提昇。速度快這點，一直是 Safari 的特色。只要 (在 Mac OS X 上) 用過的人都會這麼覺得! 這次的新版用起來感覺的確不假。
根據一些評測的資料顯示，Safari 4 Beta 的效能及速度均優於其它幾款 browsers (IE 7/8, Firefox, Opera, etc)。這也是讓我想試用的原因。

什麼是 Camino? 簡單說 Camino 是 Gecko engine with native Cocoa code，是 Mozilla project 之一。當然，我也是 Camino 的愛用者。

下載並安裝 Safari 4 Beta 後，我完全改用 Safari 4 Beta，把所有會在 Camino 2 Beta 上使用的習慣都用在 Safari 4 Beta 上，讓自己真的去深入試用。

而經過了一陣子的試用後，我發現若以 Safari 4 Beta 和 Camino 2 Beta 來瀏覽操作 Facebook 時，就很明顯的感覺到 Safari 4 Beta 較 Camino 2 Beta 遜色，Page loading 的流暢度明顯較差。尤其是在 load 圖時，Safari 4 Beta 常會有圖下載不完全的狀況發生，Camino 2 Beta 則沒有這個問題。而在使用 gmail 時，也明顯感覺 Safari 4 Beta 並沒有比較快! (Javascript 處理問題?)

以上僅為個人心得之記錄。正確的狀況為何? 則有待專門評測的單位來測試比較了。

How to construct a B+ tree with example

Image
A B+ tree contains n-1 search key values K1K2…….Kn-1 and have n pointers.   In a B+ tree the data are ordered  sequentially.  The leaf node may hold up to n pointers and must hold at least N/2 pointers. The root node must hold at least two pointers, unless the tree consists of only one node.  Now we construct a B+ tree. Construct a B+ tree for the following set of key values: (2,3,5,7,11,17,19,23,29,31) Assume that the tree is initially empty and values are added in ascending order. Construct a B+ tree where the pointer number is Four. Solution: When a node exceeds n-1 search key value then we split it into two nodes. First node contains (ceiling(n-1)/2) values.  2 nd node contains remaining node. Copy the smallest search key value of the second node to the parent node. Let's start, we know each node has N pointer and has N-1 search key values. In our example pointer number is 4, so the search key value is 4-1=3. So each node has 4 pointers and 3 search key value. The first node i
