2012/4/2-6/4 [Computer/SW/Languages/Java, Computer/SW/RevisionControl] UID:54353 Activity:nil | 4/02 We use Perforce at work for revision control. It seems to work okay.
Lately, a lot of the newer developers are saying that Perforce
sucks and we should switch to Mercurial or Git. I have done some
searching on the Internet and some others have this opinion. Added
advantage is that Mercurial and Git are free. However, there would
be some work to switch for the sysadmins and the developers.

to 6.01. In fact, 6.00, 6.01 and 6.02 all use Python. What the
hell? What has the world become? It's a sad sad day. SICP forever!
\_ old story, they've ditched that shitty book and lang for a while.
\_ I used to think scheme was cool, then I saw Ka Ping Yee's
"Beautiful Code" class aka 61a in python, and converted.

2011/2/24-4/20 [Computer/SW/Languages/Java] UID:54048 Activity:nil | 2/24 Go Programming Language. Anyone here use it? It kind of
reminds me of java-meets python, and well, that is fitting given it's
a GOOG product. What is so special about it?
\_ as I understand it, it's a suitable OOP-y systems language with more
structure than C, less complexity than C++, and less overhead than
Java/Python.

2013/2/19-3/26 [Computer/SW/OS/OsX] UID:54611 Activity:nil | 2/19 I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster. So I'm used to using
Xemacs to code. This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
but sometimes I have to use a Mac. On Mac, the meta is usually
bound to option, but that often doesn't work over ssh for some reason.
This makes using emacs a real pain. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
(Other than "use vi")

that implemented an ssh v1 client. I think this page went away

when the maximum resolution of my monitor changes? When I
use my laptop, my emacs is too big (and I can't resize it

\_ Which OS? Can't you drag the top border (not a corner) to resize
the height to be smaller?

seem to have a keyboard repeat rate and a repeat delay that's different
than the one XP uses for other Windows apps. When I do "mode con
rate=xx delay=yy", it only changes Windows apps but not the X apps.
How do I change the keyboard repeat rate and delay for X? Thanks.
