Interesting, FreeBSD/PcBSD is not on the list. is it due to lesser popularity?

this should be a reference used when writing commit bits. e.g.: fixed a bug caused by the Fromage pattern by applying the Brig pattern.:-)

yes, real life pain is the first step of your immune system. The warnings in your log should be the software equivalent. Attending either or both requires human maintanance. Training the body is equivalent of testing software. Yes, there is

recently, i needed to encode/decode similar data, and base64 with a variable 64 chars seemed to work just as good. say, - or / are problem chars, then make another set of 64 chars which would have a comma and a dot or alike and there you go

yes, random bits flipped on good input. yes, i run anything that can help me and covers the problem. nowadays, 32 and 64 bit are what i write code for. oh, the days of 16bit ints on win3.11 for workgroups are gone. :-) llvm is an excellent

the way to write good solid code is to use more than 2 compiler, and optimisation etc. i mostly write code that runs on at least 3 different os, and 2 different hardware. ... and it just works. no prog-lang can be faulted for bad programm

that's exactly right and correct. any language can be screwed up without descipline, and understanding of the solution trying to be implemented. me for example, put comments in code that what direction of design, execution path is taken to

my way: write code everyday, and write at least one test case every week, and release as needed. release every week, problem: users are unable to learn and adjust, specially humans, and of course the others' codes.

in my experience a lean mean libevent api is the winner. once i need dns or http for size or speed there are more choices than to bog down the event handler. Yes, I understand the benefit of having dns/http/and who knows what in the event

this is more of an argument on preference than quality of either process. yes, we can use clay, wood or stone for sculpting. i like that git lets me rewrite commit logs, merge them into one commit, break up commits and so on. this gives me

just curios: can you show the code?

git rerere --help once you resolve a conflict git will remember, and do it for you. :-)

the lmin[1] macro will convert the uints to a long int and then do the arithmetic. [1]static __inline long lmin(long a, long b) { return (a < b ? a : b); } [2]static __inline u_int min(u_int a, u_int b) { return (a < b ? a : b); } E

tcl info var and a dict can do closure like constructs. 8.5. 8.6 has a really cool oo interface. http://tcl.activestate.com/cgi-bin/tct/tip/257.html i do not know lisp, yet i heard tcl is like lisp without the strong type checking.

... and have at least one other os than prod and just fiddle with it, fiddle with compiler switches, optimisation random testing. occasionally look at the results and see what they mean. for example, freebsd's jails can help setup many diff

Hi Everyone, I am a two spacer between sentences, and a triple spacer for paragraph starters, and a newline between paragraphs. No wonder nobody reads my emails. :-)

macports have a lot of packages. simple to use: $ port search keyword $ sudo port install package_name also, you have homebrew. i never used it. and as a protable package mgmnt: pkgsrc.org. works well also.

a binary driver blob can do a better job at backdooring. or even dare to say, the hardware, network card, may have already had one built into it at the factory. i vote for a mostly fudd value of this info.

have a repository of your ideas, and what you completed of it, before you wonder to something else. Even a notebook and a pencil can be useful for this. cut back on sugar. :-)
