Would be nice to see clang somehow generate a 'cscope' compatible database. This would make cscope much more reliable for C++ projects (cscope VIM/emacs plugins are very useful for efficiently navigating a large source tree).

There used to be a similar service at http://notepag.es/ However, it seems to be down now.

Should not happen using a modern phone camping on a 3G network. 3G (WCDMA)is not based on TDMA and the uplink has been designed specifically to avoid creating audible interference.

What about searching for all callers of a function? This has been available (using cscope) on VIM and Emacs for ages.

Can you share some of your more generally useful gdb settings / macros? I've been working with linux/gdb for years and while I do agree it is powerful -- I don't find it very convenient. For example, up until gdb 7.4 (pretty recent) there w

"The idea being proposed is often very unrealistic" For some reason developers/engineers tend to be pessimistic while leaders/idea people tend to be optimistic . In order to produce really great products you probably need both sides -- s

Now that FreeBSD had exceeded their target, you might want to consider donating to Haiku ( https://www.haiku-os.org/ ). Unlike FreeBSD which is targeting servers (much like Linux), Haiku is designed for personal computing and emphasizes res

Thanks. It mostly worked. Of course, the real benefit of ipython is the notebook. For that you need (on OS X) brew install python # or just download and install from source pip install numpy pip install matplotlib pip in

I would be wonderful if we could re-use the notebook interface for other language - Octave, Julia, R, Ruby. (Would also be nice if building ipython on OS X was easier!)

Too bad "Concepts" did not make it into the standard. Would help avoid the tons of unintelligible error messages one gets when using template functions incorrectly. Given that C++ libraries are getting so complex (now with move semantics!

As a side note: Clang really shines when it comes to producing useful error messages / warnings.

I work with C++ daily and it still has many rough edges: * Horrible error messages * Even simple programs take ages to compile due to massive header files. LLVM/Clang help on both fronts but it's still quite difficult. D2 seems much more pr

Does Vim (or any of its plugins) support Javascript autocomplete based on type inference? I'm sure Scripted (or Brackets) can't match Vim general text editing, but if the type inference / CommonJS integration is good - it is certainly an ad

Throwing exceptions when a command returns non-zero exit status is very useful indeed. However, this isn't very different from using the shell's own && operator. I still believe that wrapping shell commands with functions is the way

In that case, the cashier can easily charge you without your consent. Of course, you get the confirmation mail and can cancel the transaction but this is inconvenient. Making payments too easy makes it easier on the bad guys as well.

Too bad epub/mobi do not support nice typesetting of equations (except as images). At least this was the situation last time I checked. Is it different now? (Not that SICP is heavy on math...)

Even if you assume multiple 3G carriers are available at the conference site, 3G bandwidth is much more scarce. So, although 3G does enjoy better dynamic resource allocation (centrally managed using sophisticated algorithms), the overall ex

Using symlinks is the way Capistrano does it and has the benefit of being both atomic and easy/quick to revert if something goes wrong. There's no way git checkout can be atomic.

Or maybe the point is that nobody cares or bothers to check the labels (safety? We don't need this...). It all comes down to price and most customers (myself included in this case) do not know any better.

Besides performance, Intel's compiler offers somewhat better error messages / warnings (Not affiliated with Intel. Just very satisfied with their performance on numeric-heavy workloads).
