Sumpah Pemuda - 17 tahun "Indonesia" dijajah

Dulu ketika SD dan SMP, guru sejarah sering memberikan pertanyaan: Berapa lama Indonesia dijajah? Ketika diberi pertanyaan itu, maka cepat-cepat kita mengacungkan jari kita dan menjawab: "350 tahun, Bu"....

Ternyata, setelah hal ini dikaji, ternyata 350 tahun ini hanyalah sebuah bahasa mulutnya Bung Karno untuk membangkitkan semangat bersatu bangsa Indonesia ketika itu. Buya Syafi'i Ma'arif mengatakan, Indonesia itu dijajah cuma selama 17 tahun. Karena pada saat VOC datang pada tahun 1605, yang ada hanyalah negara kerajaan: Majapahit, Demak, Samudra Pasai, Kutai, dan lain-lain. Itupun waktu penguasaannya berbeda-beda. Istilah Indonesia baru muncul pada saat sumpah pemuda tanggal 28 Oktober 1928. Dengan kata lain, Indonesia dijajah hanya dari tanggal 28 Oktober 1928 sampai dengan 17 Agustus 1945. Atau lebih jelasnya, memang 17 tahun seperti yang dikatakan oleh Buya Syafi'i itu.

Mungkin untuk sekalian memperingati sumpah pemuda, berikut akan saya kutipkan kembali naskah sumpah pemuda:

Kami putra dan putri Indonesia, mengaku berbangsa satu, bangsa Indonesia
Kami putra dan putri Indonesia, mengaku bertumpah darah satu, tanah air Indonesia.
Kami putra dan putri Indonesia, menjunjung tinggi bahasa persatuan, bahasa Indonesia

Kalo menurut saya bukan 17 tapi bukan juga 350 tahun, karena sebelum itu KI Hajar Dewantoro Sudah menggunakan kata "Indonesia".

Mungkin sama cari tau kapan pastinya istilah Indonesia, coba lihat juga di http://nustaffsite.gunadarma.ac.id/blog/p_musa/2007/09/01/asal-usul-istilah-indonesia-sebagai-sebutan-nama-indonesia/

Find JIRA issues mentioned in Confluence Page

I have been walking through a lot of pages in internet but have not found any answer except one. However, the answer is not complete, so I will share my experience here. This feature is very useful, especially to summarize the issues found during certain tests, where the tests are reported in a confluence page. I found that there are so many questions about this, but Atlassian seems does not want to bother with this request. I found one way to do this by the following tricks Take one JIRA issue that related to the target confluence page (in this case, say it is GET-895) Find the global ID of a JIRA issue: http://bach.dc1.scram.com:8080/rest/api/latest/issue/GET-895/remotelink It will show the JSON like this: [{"id":28293,"self":"http://bach.dc1.scram.com:8080/rest/api/latest/issue/GET-895/remotelink/28293","globalId":"appId=662e1ccf-94da-3121-96ae-053d90587b29&pageId=105485659","application":{...

Simple command x x = - 3 ; If [ x < 0 , - x , x ] 3 Example 2. If condition in a function abs [ x_ ] := If [ x < 0 , - x , x ] abs /@ { - 3 , 2 , 0 , - 2 } { 3 , 2 , 0 , 2 }   For in Wolfram Mathematica The syntax is as follows For [ start , test , inc , what to do ] Some examples Example 1. Simple Loop xxxxxxxxxx For [ i = 0 , i < 4 , i ++, Print [ i ]] 0 1 2 3 Example 2. Another simple loop For [ i = 10 , i > 0 , i --, Print [ i ]] 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Example 3.

Android studio in ubuntu - problem: 'tools.jar' seems to be not in Android Studio classpath. Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE.

I love coding, especially Java. Because Android apps is written in Java, I would love to make one as well. Unfortunately, when I tried to install Android Studio on my Ubuntu yesterday, I got this error message: 'tools.jar' seems to be not in Android Studio classpath. Please ensure JAVA_HOME points to JDK rather than JRE. When I google on this error, there are so many websites and forums discuss about this error as well as the solutions. However, in linux (or ubuntu in my case), sometime we have different environment so that the solution will not always work (sometimes we have to do another thing before or after that solution). And this also happen in this case. Here are what I did then: 1. Know what exactly the problem is: the problem is that the JAVA_HOME in my system did not point to JDK. Instead, it points to a JRE. JRE can only be used to run java applications, not to build them. 2. Check the java path used by the system. In terminal, I typed the following: ...
