Given its 17 years of history and recent the recent progress with versions 5.3 and newer... whoever voted on this position either wasn't aware of PHP's actual situation and outlook, or was just being thinking wishful. I don't know, I thin

This is a description of the Emacs bindings, which are the default. Vi bindings are also available and can be enabled by adding set -o vi to ~/.bashrc. Peteris Krumins also has an article on bash command line editing with some extr

I really don't know about this. For every bug I fix, there's a time I run the code after a change and the change does just what it was supposed to do. For every time a client complains about something that doesn't quite work yet, there's a

tptacek explained to me once how using a self-signed certificate (or more to the point, trusting it) is a bad idea: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2376644 You can get free certificates backed by a CA trusted by most browsers, for exa

I haven't actually tried downloading it, but looking at http://elementaryos.org/downloads they definitely seem to have released something . Also, it seems they've been working on this since 2007 according to http://elementaryos.org/team

This looks just like the C code on Paul Burke's page [1], except that the translation to JS isn't quite correct because x gets updated before yz are calculated (and y before z) due to sequential parameter evaluation. And the 101 bytes conve

Congratulations from me, too! A very impressive result in such a short timeframe. In danger of asking a silly question, I do wonder about this bit though: In the very near future I will ask an impartial 3rd party take a look at our data (w

A week ago I finally got myself to patch my Emacs (24.1.1) using the procedure described here: http://www.sanityinc.com/full-screen-support-for-cocoa-emacs... Although that post (and the patch) is a bit dated, it worked fine for me (one h

This is getting a bit tiresome, but I'll play along since your high karma leads me to believe you're genuinely confused and not a troll. The point of anonymous functions is not whether or not they will eventually be bound to an identifier,

You are confusing closures and anonymous functions. The two are somewhat related, but not the same thing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_function http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_(computer_science)

If you look closely, foo is an anonymous function No, "foo" is a variable holding a reference to a named function--the function named "closure". You seem to be confused as to what an anonymous function is. (It doesn't per se have anythi

Interesting, this must be a shortcoming of OpenFire then. With OpenFire I haven't found a way around having the MUC and extension subdomains accessible via DNS, regardless of whether or not requests are coming from the same domain or not. I

Sometimes vhosts are convenient, sometimes they're even mandatory. For example, with XMPP servers, multi-user chat and any components must live on a subdomain. So if your main server is running on example.com then the MUC server is, say,

What is the difference between an alias and a static IP address? Not sure what you mean. If you're referring to the bit about binding MAC to an address, I should probably have said "fixed IP" rather than "static IP", sorry about that. Al

by julian37 14y ago
To expand on this, this problem can usually be solved by editing /etc/hosts. But you can't do that on some platforms such as iOS. By the way, a neat trick is to assign an alias to your network interface in order to avoid the trouble of DHC

The article gives one example: you could charge them with waste heat at plants and factories, then transport them to homes and offices where (I suppose) they could be used for heating and hot water, at some later point in time. Sounds more

TBL's proposal reminds me of OLPC Bitfrost, which blew me away in 2006 (?) when I first read about it (and OLPC was still hot.) I don't actually know what became of it--unfortunately, I didn't yet get a chance to play with an OLPC device, a

That makes sense, and speaks to me (I'm more of a Ruby guy myself.) Thanks for taking the time to reply. Edit: and, "it looked like it would be easy" made my day :-)

Could you explain briefly why you chose to write a replacement for statsd, rather than improve on it? What aspects of statsd were you not happy with? (I don't have a horse in this race, I haven't used statsd before -- but I am planning to d

PPI can be stored in the "pHYs" chunk in a PNG. And some image processing/editing tools do so, such as Photoshop starting with version 7. http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/book/chapter11.html#png.ch11.d... http://www.scantips.com/basics9p.h

I didn't mean to imply that NodeJS isn't the best fit for the problem at hand. I was just trying to clarify that it doesn't take an asynchronous framework like Node to keep processing a request after the connection is closed.

by julian37 14y ago
The data is being written to the db, or being crunched, while the request is ending, and the browser can continue with the important stuff. It sounds like a good fit for NodeJS for sure, but for what it's worth, even in a synchronous web

Maybe I'm misreading your reply, but I think you might have misunderstood gits1225's comment. What (s)he was saying is that it would be great if your system would be open so that it could (eventually) be integrated into existing editors. Yo
