Bihar like few other north indian states have heavy male dominance. About 90% of relatives I know, want their daughters to finish Matriculation and get married. The point is - parents put such little emphasis on education of their daughters

As someone from Bihar, there is a pattern to this cheating. Certain years, the Govt. decides to clamp down hard and exams happen under Election like security and certain years you have free for all cheating. Also Bihar has a very small numb

Readme has been incredible for hosting documentation of our open source project (rbkit.readme.io). Very responsive to support requests, even though we weren't really a paying a customer.

Chrome stopped being a GTK+ app long time ago. They switched to their own internal toolkit( http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/05/google-chrome-35-linux-ar... ). Also, I am not sure why you say Firefox looks ugly in KD

Sorry for replying here again. So yeah - we plan to report RSS memory as well, but we obviously don't want to shell out. But - we can do this in C though via the rbkit library. A quick google search returns something like - http:&#x2F

I think, we have some work to document what those values mean. RES in graph - is not total RSS memory usage, it is memory ruby has allocated on C heap via `malloc` calls. If you are familiar with Ruby internals, ruby heap can store small si

I think support for Ruby 1.8.7 has ended, so it is very unlikely you will see anything like this written for that version of Ruby. You should seriously consider migrating from that version. Having said that - As one of the authors of Rbkit

This is something we have been working in our free time for last several months. The instrumentation support in Ruby seems to be coming together at last and ko1 (Koichi Sasada) has done lot of work in that regard. For those interested in qu

Not sure if you will see my message, but we ended up using chart.js via Qtwebkit bridge. We got rid of bunch of fluff like labels etc though (and reduced how often charts are refreshed). Even though chart.js is canvas based, its performance

So, in our preliminary analysis we found out bunch of things: 1. Some charting libraries do not discard a infinitely growing time series data. For example, if you are only displaying 20 data points in graph, holding older data points do not

from same article: "Apparently GDM 3.8 assumes that an init system will also clean up any processes it started. This is what systemd does, but OpenRC didn’t support that. Which means that GDM under OpenRC would leave lingering processe

If you read over Wikipedia page of systemd, you will find out - it just does not replace `init` system, but whole lot more. Systemd is a collection of 64 binaries which manage login daemon, networking (DHCP) etc. In other words to some it s

Answer is there in FAQ. Written data is not lost on reboot, so basically you can mount it as a `ramdisk` partition and use that as data directory for your database. I have used this approach in past to speed up large test suite of a web app

I suppose the main usage will be a RAMDISK mounted partition which will not lose its data on Server reboot, power loss or when program is not running. I don't think this SSD can be accessed through regular SCSI, IDE, AHCI controllers.
