Comment on Using Git and SVN at the same time by coliveira

You can always have git along with svn in the same directory, but they won’t be synchronized. Git uses its .git directory, while svn uses the .svn dir. I have done this before, but it would be better to use git as an interface to svn, so that they are synchronized. Try to learn about git-svn and you’ll see how it works.

Hi Carlos,
Maybe you can help me in my problem. I wish to use in my projects git and svn together. The reason is complicated. We are making webpages and we have our own cms. Well, each webpage project is different, so I want to store them in SVN version control, in different projects. But each has the cms, with is common, that I want to store in other version control as a self standing project. The cms I would store in GIT.
My target is, that from any project I have to be able to commit in the repo of the website project and in the repo if the common cms as well.
Can I do this?

Thank you very much for your help!

Comment on Day 3: Keep a Programming Diary by Johan Brodd

A smart move is to set up say a wordpress site, keep it in maintenance mode so nobody can read it, and disable comments for unregistered members. Then login to write your programmers diary there. Remember the password, and when you’re home or whenever you’re away from home, then you have instant access to your programmers diary. If there is an internet connection.

Comment on Disadvantages of Statically Typed Languages by Leo

One thing to remember is that the main purpose of strong typing is to enforce good coding habits. Code quality has gotten much better overall. As a result, where a project scores on the trade-off between quality gain and productivity loss has changed.

Refactoring is a major advantage of static types: any omission or typo while refactoring would cause a runtime error in a dynamic language.

Is this a big issue in web programming ?
I guess not. Either Testing will catch these errors or users have resigned to unreliable web sites…

Comment on Implementing a trie data structure in C by Sahil Singla

Respected Sir,

I am trying to implement B-trie(Disk resident trie).
what i know about disk rsident is disk-resident means that the data structure is stored and accessed on non-volatile memory, such as a hard disk or a solid state drive. Main memory
is typically only used as a buffer; updates are often performed in a write-through manner — meaning that an update is not held in memory for an indefinite amount of time,it is instead immediately forwarded to disk (via the operating system).
I read all the algorithms of b-trie from http://www.naskitis.com/naskitis-vldbj09.pdf . even search and insert implemented in memory.

How it should be implemented on disk ? pls guide me with the flow of application ?

i am unable to understand the concept how to store it on disk ?

“having a smaller compiler, they can make it much smarter” huh ?

Comment on Using ed, the standard UNIX editor by d roberts

d roberts — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:08:35 +0000

Some of the more modern editors can be faster than ‘ED’ but “more haste, often results in less speed.”
And the more complicated editors, such as Vim or Emacs require a massive amount of memorizing all the commands.

I love being able to look at 4 or 5 lines of text at a time and edit those lines slowly but carefully with a small number of simple commands.

Ed is simplicity itself – a pleasure to use.
