   Have you replaced all use of FXL with Haxl? Or are both languages supported? In the latter case, what is the relative proportion of each in the live codebase? (I appreciate that migrating code that already works to a new language often ju

   Chrome on Linux uses the system package manager to autoupdate. The current version of Chrome is 34. Chrome is on a six week release cycle, so your version number indicates you haven't had a system update in something like (34-28)*6 =

   Thanks for the link. We also have an in-house solution like fastclick. The hard part about this is tracking down the long tail of failures, particularly when they affect devices you don't have access to like the Samsung phones I menti

   I agree that you're allowed to combine such works. I was trying to point out that the project's top-level LICENSE file, which makes no mention of the GPL license that the combined work must be under: https://github.com&

   I work on an app that has made a similar tradeoff. I won't restate the positives because the post describes many of them (after all, we chose a similar architecture) but I'll add that fetching app logic+assets (in the form of JS&

   Your crc32 files appear to have a GPL license on them. You cannot legally relicense / derive works from them under your own license.

    Just in case someone from Optimizely looks at this: I was curious so I examined the JS source. It appears the "munchkin.js" helper is the most likely candidate. The code is obfuscated but I see a click event listener that is doi

    The system calls are plenty fast. As I mentioned, we got Chrome's build of comparable size to around a second, and it still stats every file. (A batched stat would be nice too, but it's not the most critical thing to optimize.)

    This code is really not good, and certainly not worth learning from. It appears that if you request a path like "//etc/foobar" with two slashes at the front it'll allow traversal outside the starting directory,

    Ironically, the C++ code he's attempting to match itself uses a higher-level language[1] to generate a soup of tables and gotos[2]. But I think that observation supports the point he'd likely make: Haskell allows both the higher-
