What do you mean by Perl functions being modeled after POSIX functions? My only points of reference are POSIX being a UNIX system specification which defines both a C language reference and system userspace specification. I also have a vagu

And thinkpads. I used it to add X11 autorotation to an X61 tablet. No spin animation, but it was a cool one-day hack nonetheless. The fun part was that the orientation analyses was done from a shell script, and actually worked 100% of the t

I can totally agree about relative timestamping in both directions (past+future) - my argument is more about the UX of situations where you're canonically referring to a past event. So as not to spam with my reply to a similar comment,

by i336_ 9y ago
Very true. I just think there should be an intent argument specifiable to the library to indicate that the duration in question refers to an event that has happened in the past. In such a scenario, the library should mark the duration as ha

As of right now... On the one hand, I see "Everything operating normally." at the top in green, and no flags or alerts. On the other hand, the charts look good, but "App server availability" looks interesting, the righ

I've noticed this behavior with a lot of services. I can only chalk it up to something like clock drift between the processing node and the database server. Irritatingly I can't remember which site it was but I posted something so

That makes a lot of sense. Yet another case of insane defaults :( Servers are like castles of old. They need to be properly defended!

Hey OP, just wanted to let you know - the animation is making a horizontal scrollbar appear and disappear at the bottom of the page. What I think is happening is that as .limo-container (which is 100% of page width) rotates, its "real&

Interesting. So V8 isn't really innovating implementationally in terms of major new research ideas - it's just scrounging around and borrowing old, awesome research from decades gone past. Reminds me of the container-based virtu
