I was assuming I'd find this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B_Technical_Report_1#Math... Parts of C++ that don't seem to be quite generally useful enough to warrant inclusion in a standard library.

That's insanely high res. How many pixels would my 15" MBP have at that DPI?

This really annoyed me. I took screenshots on my iPhone regularly to share things with people. I can't do that on my Android phone without rooting it (at least, according to the screenshot apps in the market).

"Skype's network effect and lock-in is extremely small compared to something like Facebook, or even something like an IM network." Skype is an IM network. I really hate that I have to use it sometimes for that.

I'd rather be ridiculed for what I've done than what I've promised to do, but refused to share. That said, I'm no longer an interested party. I stopped using TM over a year ago after at least a year of using it and seeing where it was goin

I've done very large rewrites from scratch successfully and I've done very large rewrites incrementally successfully. I think it can happen just fine. Of course, doing that as a one-man team with a closed-source commercial product that you

That's likely true. We're separating out storage engines and allowing people to write their own. Your engine doesn't need locks. The more stuff we can do in the core without them, the closer we get to your dream. Lock-free hash tables wi

The general path involves adding some locks around critical sections, then benchmarking until those locks bubble up, then reducing the number of locks, then repeating until your server has very little lock contention. The process is pretty

I'm certainly not trying to start a fight or anything, but there's a lot of bad testing out there, and people like trumpeting the results of such things. Having more machines reduces the performance gained from multigets. This is often a p

I'm a bit biased, but I'm not as optimistic as some. memcached had a design similar to redis when I first got involved with it a few years ago. It was fine for a lot of systems, but didn't scale to the larger ones. It took a lot of work f

If it fast-forwarded, it's because you haven't added any changes that aren't already upstream. If you're losing information, it's when you considered starting a branch.

Your first two commands can be replaced with (one time): git config --global branch.autosetuprebase always Then "git pull" Without doing the config change, you can just do a "git pull --rebase" Your "git push origin master" is typically wha

That question was asked in September 2008. One would hope some things could change by then. Supporting c89 is supporting some of c99. As pointed out from some of the things you linked to, not fully supporting c99 means there are places

Is it safe to assume they haven't updated their C support from the 21 year old standard to the 11 year old standard?

I agree with this. In the above mentioned cleanup procedure, one of my developers was convinced that git would commit all changes during an interactive rebase where he was splitting a changeset regardless of what he had staged. I asked hi

I'm becoming a huge fan of gerrit. I have to say that I still feel that "git commit -a" is trouble. It's OK to ease one in, but the faster you free yourself from thinking of committing as "saving the state of things" and begin to think of

"libcurl does not put any restrictions on the program that uses the library." I wonder how much of the activity could be attributed to such things.

I'm aware of the release plugin -- I also was when I wrote it. I didn't see much of a difference between it and the SCM plugin. I replied to such criticism on my post, so I'll just paste that response here: I'm aware of the release plugin.

auditable means every revision of every change was saved in a fashion that allows you to go back in time and what-not. Specifically, it means this: http://github.com/dustin/kvtest/blob/master/sqlite-base.cc#L...

git does have the ability to do partial history clones and partial repository checkouts. However, you can surely see that the goals of requiring the code to be in a single repository but requiring the ability to only access part of it at
