You obviously did not read the Moonlight vs IcedTea issue in Chrome article yesterday ;)

Just to confirm .NET/C# handles this and correctly. So does IronScheme.

Finger-pointing is always infantile.

Both posts are rather comical and infantile. Drama all the way, serial killers and Russians. Techno soap.
leppie··on Egypt has shut off the Internet (update: not everywhere)
The link to the Egypt SE is also not connecting now. Scares me to what might be happening there.

Dang, just missed it! Anyone got a cached copy?
leppie··on How Lisp macros differ from static code-generation and metaprogramming
I noted this too. Seems the author has a broken C compiler.
leppie··on Google "not happy" with slow Android app sales
I agree.
leppie··on Anonymously Post/Compare Startup Salary & Equity Offers
Does 'Engineering' imply software developers too, or is there just no software development in these startups?

Just get a paypal account. Or send/transfer me R40 and i'll transfer it via paypal if you are willing to trust me. :)

Yes, it is generally all about cutting costs.
leppie··on Close Tab Behaviour in Google Chrome
The annoyance lies in the pain to recover a lost tab.
leppie··on Close Tab Behaviour in Google Chrome
A bit off topic, but why can't tabbed browsers detect accidental (double) middle clicks when closing a tab?
leppie··on [dead]
Neither did I. Thanks :)

leppie··on JQuery Upgrade Causing Trouble for Twitter?
I was just wondering :) I am probably completely off target.

Here is a screenie of what I get every morning. Chrome 9 now (same for 8). 1st col is pvt bytes, 2nd is working set:

http://imageupload.org/?di=13129549812715

Edit: Interestingly after some usage, the memory gets freed, and it seems to return to normal again, ~50MB per tab.

Edit 2: Now I seem to get some Flash not responding dialogs. Sorry, it seems more likely a Flash issue, although I dont even have any Flash open on any tab.

Edit 3: Chrome stats: http://imageupload.org/?di=212954996318. Seems there is a problem with GC being a 'tad' conservative.

leppie··on JQuery Upgrade Causing Trouble for Twitter?
'Private bytes' as reported by Process Explorer.
leppie··on JQuery Upgrade Causing Trouble for Twitter?
I wonder if this (jQuery, not Twitter) is the cause of extreme memory usage in the latest stable Chrome. I get into work in the mornings and some tabs are using more than 500MB memory, other tabs are between 100MB and 200MB.
leppie··on Cold Water on the iPad 2 Retina Display Hype
Dunno about everyone else's math, but going from 1024 x 768 to 2048 x 1536 is FOUR times larger, not double.

Given that 'mistake', 1024 x 1536 seems more 'doable'.

leppie··on The antidepressant reboxetine: A headdesk moment in science
I think I was prescribed Edronax in 1999 for a very short while. The side-effect was knocking me out and caused me to sleep for 20 hours a day... I stopped very soon with them.

Wow, a Bachelors in Business and marketing aint so bad after all :) Now if only I had a CS degree to match my 4th chosen career path ...
leppie··on RIP Bill Zeller
Sad story, but this is what depression feels like, if I had such a skeleton in the closet, I probably would have done the same. :*(
leppie··on Clojure In Small Pieces [pdf]
Did anyone actually look at the PDF?

Chapters 2 - 4 seemed interesting, but has no content.

The rest seems to be a java code dump in a 1000 page PDF.

Ask a street bum, offer him some booze or food. He'll tell you.

I'll let you know if I die ahead of time.
leppie··on Cat *.c >tmp.c && gcc -O3 -fwhole-program $YOURFLAGS -o ohmygawditsfast tmp.c
Thanks, didn't know that. I thought it would have been the same.
leppie··on Cat *.c >tmp.c && gcc -O3 -fwhole-program $YOURFLAGS -o ohmygawditsfast tmp.c
Why not just pass *.c to gcc ? Same thing isn't it?
