trust me, end of support is no reason for some companies to update. I'm seeing Windows NT4 boxes all over the place in my daily business and it hurts.

was I still using SVN, I would totally agree with you here, but git was designed to help with issues as the ones that are in the patch: Git diff is awfully useful in displaying things like inconsistent newlines, inconsistent whitespace and

this is not at all related to the essence of the commit, but as the rails guys are using git which brings us the beauty that is rebase -i, why is this commit so incredibly bad? It mixes functional changes and whitespace changes. It even con

What is going on here is a process called "Greylisting" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greylisting ). The idea is that spammers don't use real mail queues and thus, if you send a temporary error, genuine clients will requeue the message, wh

For many of the cases I was able to come up with (and express in this horrible, horrible interface), I was able to come up with much more concise and thus readable expressions that match the same thing. Regexpes are very hard to read anyway

Let me play devil's advocate here: So now chrome contains means to call native code. Isn't that what we initially used as a reason to move away from IE which also allowed to do that via ActiveX? So if IE allows native code to run, then it's

no one is to stop tampering from happening. but the SMTP standard and the whole culture around internet mail mandates that the messages are not changed in transit (with the exception of that received header and the stuff around 8bitmime). U

I may be overly conservative here, but IMHO a MTA should not touch the body of the message. It should not even touch the headers besides adding a Received-header to the top. Re-Encoding all Mails passed through is definitely not what I call

You are right - it's no real comparison. But still, using gitosis to host the repositories has some advantages over plain ssh: * you only need to create one git user * people don't need shell access to the machine * you have f

gitosis != gitorious. gitosis is a really simple collection of scripts that basically allows you to do the same thing with git that you were able to do with SVN by hosting a repository on some server and provide SSH access to it. Merge requ

gitorious is a real bitch to install though. and githubs user centric way of looking at things is much more compelling than the project centric way of gitorious.

agreed. I don't feel comfortable uploading all my code to a third party, which in this case is even located in a different country I'm not familiar with the legislation details. I'm using gitosis and redmine internally now, but this one is

the latest beta version isn't ugly under OS X any more. My concerns about line endings and trailing whitespace (see other comment) still keep me off using this though.
2355.
by pilif 17y ago
as long as Netbeans does not let me specify the line ending style of newly created files and does not provide me with an option to remove trailing whitespace on save, it's just not usable for my purposes. Where I work, we have a very strict

MySQL usually does not reorder the data on disc, so in the OP's case, this might actually work for him. I do agree though that just moving around bz2 files is much easier. Andit scales better (as in: continues to work) once you begin accumu

KCacheGrind works on the mac. Install it via MacPorts or Fink. I've blogged about this waybackwhen: http://www.gnegg.ch/2006/08/profiling-php-with-xdebug-and-kc... And if you don't bother installing KDE3 on your Mac, there's also http://

I especially didn't like the rant about the "horrible boilerplate array declarations at the top of the Wordpress plugin". That array looks like it provides some declarative information to the backend on how to display the configuration UI.

well... the video made me feel the urge to replicate the findings. At least to some scale. So they may have sold an SSD or two. But then again, I'd probably go Intel and not Samsung. Still. They got people talking and the video probably was
