I.e. while it's not very pretty, "repository/blue_goat" and "repository/red_bear" work just fine and won't require users to switch repositories. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/octal_literals/?src=hsrs#22456 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:02:18 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/octal_literals/?src=hsrs#22456 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/octal_literals/?src=hsrs#22456 Note - octal is still used when working with chmod in linux, which is what led me to this page. Also, on your last point, you can express an integer in any radix 2-36. This example in octal with puts 511.to_s(8) outputs 777 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/eurovision_2008_charts/?src=hsrs#21749 Thu, 29 May 2008 19:14:57 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/eurovision_2008_charts/?src=hsrs#21749 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/eurovision_2008_charts/?src=hsrs#21749 Ps/ At least Franco did one decent thing in his life. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/eurovision_2008_charts/?src=hsrs#21748 Thu, 29 May 2008 19:14:24 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/eurovision_2008_charts/?src=hsrs#21748 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/eurovision_2008_charts/?src=hsrs#21748 Nice work. It is an interesting little visualisation problem. Your approach is more thorough, mine is more compact. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/programming_nirvana_plan_b/?src=hsrs#21639 Wed, 28 May 2008 17:36:07 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/programming_nirvana_plan_b/?src=hsrs#21639 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/programming_nirvana_plan_b/?src=hsrs#21639 By the way, the IT Conversations podcast had a great interview with Simon Peyton Jones recently. http://www.windley.com/archives/2008/05/transactional_memory.shtml http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/fixing_compiler_warnings_the_hard_way/?src=hsrs#21615 Wed, 28 May 2008 09:09:48 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/fixing_compiler_warnings_the_hard_way/?src=hsrs#21615 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/fixing_compiler_warnings_the_hard_way/?src=hsrs#21615 David, 7 ^ x & 7 is yet another classic I wasn't aware of! So thanks. I find it easy enough to remember "&" binds more tightly than "^" since it obeys the general rule that "and" binds more tightly than "or". http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/curling_for_web_sites/?src=hsrs#21613 Wed, 28 May 2008 09:00:57 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/curling_for_web_sites/?src=hsrs#21613 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/curling_for_web_sites/?src=hsrs#21613 Brad, one problem with using the cache is that you can't browse it: the links point back to pages etc which are down for maintenance. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/curling_for_web_sites/?src=hsrs#21608 Wed, 28 May 2008 06:39:42 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/curling_for_web_sites/?src=hsrs#21608 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/curling_for_web_sites/?src=hsrs#21608 Neat trick, but I'd be more inclined to just check Google's cache. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/fixing_compiler_warnings_the_hard_way/?src=hsrs#21548 Tue, 27 May 2008 17:09:44 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/fixing_compiler_warnings_the_hard_way/?src=hsrs#21548 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/fixing_compiler_warnings_the_hard_way/?src=hsrs#21548 I reckon ^ is "almost always" used with one of its arguments being either 1 or 1-less than a power of 2 (with 1 being a special case of that I guess). That made me immediately suspicious of "2 ^ pos". For similar reasons "x & 2" looks suspicious, almost regardless of context. Classic example of ^: "7 ^ x & 7", the equivalent of your bit-address reversing expression "7 - b % 8". Because I don http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/fixing_compiler_warnings_the_hard_way/?src=hsrs#20887 Wed, 21 May 2008 15:40:29 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/fixing_compiler_warnings_the_hard_way/?src=hsrs#20887 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/wordaligned/fixing_compiler_warnings_the_hard_way/?src=hsrs#20887 John, maybe I've heard Hacker's Delight mentioned, but I can't be sure. I haven't read it. Would you recommend it?
