This actually looks really cool, but seems to have no support for concurrent modification or access. I'm presuming that in order to make this thread-safe you'd just need to lock the whole database. Anybody aware of any thread-safe

Developer edition doesn't seem to respect the setting for default profile. It always opens its `dev-edition-default` profile instead.

The funny thing is that we reported this sometime in 2009 (might have been 2010), they "fixed it" and released a new version, but the new version only crashed somewhat less often.

The FTDI OSX drivers will still randomly cause kernel panics when the device is unplugged and a program still holds an open file descriptor for the serial port. While working with a company which was developing and selling products with FTD

In the event LGPL is too restrictive, there's also concurrencykit ( http://concurrencykit.org/ ), which provides similar mechanisms (both for concurrent memory reclamation and various datastructures built on top).

The log-time concatenation may be the real win. Still though, why 4? Why not 2, or 8? Is this covered in some of the research?

So, if I'm understanding this right, finger trees are just 2-3 trees with an extra array of 8 things per level (four for prefix, four for suffix). Does this really have a benefit over just using a 2-3 tree?

Embedded programming languages are really cool. Lua's still ruling the roost, as far as I've seen, but there are some nice options out there. I'm currently using mruby for a project and have been quite happy with it so far. T

It is really bugging me that I can't prefix ".table" or "div.table" to any of these, since intuitively that's what I'd do when writing styles.

There's a clean-room reimplementation that LMMS ships with called VeSTige. Ardour3 also uses said code for VST hosting. The effort isn't complete (they didn't re-implement all the corners), but it works well enough.

For C and C++ at least, it uses your compiler, so yes.

Just a reminder that Microsoft is cool with dual-booting, but only if it's to increase their own marketshare. In particular, the bit about wanting to dual-boot WP8 on Android phones: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id

Unless I'm mistaken, WP8 phones have UEFI Secure Boot too, and it can't be turned off like on desktop systems. So now that Microsoft wants more market share, suddenly dual-booting phones is okay, but I doubt they'll lift the

On the contrary, there are still perfectly good uses for goto. The two I can name right off the top of my head are stack-like error unwinding in C (which comes with an endorsement from CERT recommending its use) and computed goto dispatch t

Let's not forget that "if", "for", "while", "switch", and friends, fundamentally, aren't anything more than syntactic sugar for "goto" either. ;)
