Re: áòðééï: Backup Solutions

2000-07-25 Thread Schlomo Schapiro

Hi,

since you mention HUJI I'll comment on it:

Legato is the enterprise backup solution for HUJI. I have a SuSE Linux
system and when asking for support I got downright negative
answers. Finally I managed to install the client and it works well since
then, but the client itself as client is very lousy: a conglomerate of
text mode programs without any proper help or manuals. Furthermore the
client doesn't require ANYTHING RedHat specific so that if they had packed
it as tgz with a simple Makefile it would be installable on almost any
Linux.

So long,


Sincerely,

Schlomo Schapiro

Well, only timezone, then.  Your machine claims that your
timezone is "+0200", which is IST (Israeli Standard Time, winter)
or CEST (Central European Summer Time) or something similar (your
mailer does not hint which one), but not US.  Your timezone
should be somewhere between -0400 (East Coast) and -0700 (West
Coast) in the summer.  Just symlink /etc/localtime to the
appropriate file under /usr/share/zoneinfo/America or thereabout
(assuming Linux, BSD, or any other UNIX system which uses Arthur
David Olson's timezone package, excluding Solaris, in which
different magic must be applied).

And, sadly, despite my vying for technical knowledge, I don't
know it all yet (and probably never will).  C'est la bloody vie.

Huh? I think neither Vadim nor I needed your demagogy to know C is not
perfect, and in many places, indeed, "sucks hard". That alone hardly
makes C++ a viable alternative. You have noticed that in an earlier mail I
claimed no language is perfect, so you can lay off this "stop your crusade

project. IOW, for any project there is a language which would have fitted
it better then C++. Why do people use C++? I don't know. I'm not a

It's from BSD, then.  Pre-ANSI-C version.  Before the standard
existed.  Before the ANSI standard.  Got it?  They didn't read

Tell me moshe, I come and show you a difference in 
one the most basic functions in the C "standard" IO
library anre not standartized.

Now, you come and tell me, that the difference
in compilers is that "they handle your mistakes differently".

1) Which of the two sprintf definition is the mistake?
2) Did you know that handling error cases are a BIG
part of the standard ?

Moshe, relax, Python is not 10% of what C++ is. Leave
this crusade for Python. All language are problematic

Indeed, there are few bugs on it and I'm planning to talk to lars (who

You may want to look here:

After lots of struggle, I managed to get into MSN Israel, and in the
latest CVS snapshots, you can see the menus on the web site are also in

This behavior exists in SunOS 4.x (and presumably earlier versions).

Sprintf() returned `int' as far as the Seventh Edition release of UNIX
from Bell Labs.  This is noted in the documentation of SunOS 4.x,
and indeed its  contains the following comment

/*  @(#)stdio.h 1.16 89/12/29 SMI; from UCB 1.4 06/30/83*/

The committee to standardize the C language was commissioned by ANSI on
1983.  The work wasn't published until 1990.  So what did you expect
them to do, exactly?  They chose one behavior and everyone followed.
(Looking at CVS histories of BSD systems, they appear to have had
`int' returning sprintf() at the early 1990s.)

Historical artifacts not withstanding, there are many
inter-operability problems that are caused because the standard bodies
are too slow or confused (e.g. snprintf()) and so implementors just
go ahead and do their own thing.

Linux/Open Source Writer/Editor Needed

2000-07-25 Thread Robin Miller

Dear IGLU cabalists and hangers-on:

Andover.net, publisher of Slashdot, freshmeat, and other Web
sites, needs a part-time writer/editor to select news
submissions and cover breaking news stories during hours
most US-ians are asleep but most Israelis are awake.

This is for a new site we're launching that will have a more
global emphasis than Slashdot. Some work on freshmeat may
also be available.

I need a person who is familiar with Linux, *BSD, Open
Source and Free Software, and keeps up on happenings
*worldwide* that relate to these topics. I also expect
professional-level writing skill (in English), and I don't
mean that cool e-mail you wrote to your aunt last week; I
want to see a reasonably large amount of published work from
you, although it doesn't necessarily have to be in
professional online publications.

Another major characteristic I must have is extreme
reliability. The person(s) we select will be working at
hours when other members of our krewe are asleep. It takes
an exceptional level of self-discipline to work from home
without supervision. Some people have it, some don't. If you
respond to this, please be someone who gets up and does what
you have to do on your own without a boss standing over
your shoulder.

Pay will be hourly, in U.S. dollars, and will be in line
with what U.S. magazines pay for similar duties. We have
about 20 hours per week available now. The ability to gather
and report news rapidly and accurately by e-mail and phone
will quickly lead to bylined articles, fame, higher pay,
more hours etc.

I would love to hear from you *if* you meet the
qualifications outlined above.

snprintf() and asprintf() from modern BSDs are a step in the
right direction.  As are strlcpy() and strlcat(), because
strncpy() and strncat() are definitely not something you would
like to use in your programs.

> Yes, C is sorely lacking.

To put it simple, some parts of the C standard suck hard, and I
mean both language per se and the standard C library.  But
overall, in my opinion, C is a nice language.

I'm using kde 1.1.something at work on a daily basis.
I'm also noticing times at which I cant lunch new terminal's etc via the

Language Standards - Do they exist?

2000-07-25 Thread Ilya Khayutin

I was involved in creating some standards in my life,
some of them were used, others were left to die in my
hard-drive. I must say that working on a standard is a
real HELL!!! While reading a standard is sometimes
boring, writing one can kill you.

A standard is a set of rules widely used and
implemented. There is no point for having a standard
if it is not WIDELY used. An example for this is the
Smalltalk language: Any diffrent implementation is
COMPLETELY diffrent from any other. It is easier to
rewrite the application than to port it from one
Smalltalk implementation to another. This problem is
now addressed buy http://www.smalltalk.com - but I
personaly see almost no progress (especially because I
haven't written "real" Smalltalk code for around a
year).

Realitivily to Smalltalk both C and C++ have standards
which are widely implemented. The proof for it is that
if you write a simple calculagte application in C or
C++ compiling it with another compiler is extremely
easy, while a calculator application written in
Smalltalk will surely not work with a diffrent
implementation, even with minor changes.

Not all of the C/C++ standard is followed by all
compilers. Usually the commercial compiler follow 99%
of the standard but has some extra futures (like
BORLAND C/C++). If a hacker makes use of those futures
than porting the code will usually require non-minor
changes to the code. The gnu compiler, g++, doesn't
add any special futures to the languages and stirctly
follows the standard (for all of you stupid guys: A
C++ guru told this!). This makes code written in g++
pritty easy portable (my own exprience with a pretty
big project).

Some compilers (like BORLAND) add very stange futures
which make the code importable. For example, in one
compiler I once used you could do something like this:
  
  i = new int[i_a][i_b];

while in g++ I had to chane such things to:

  i = new int*[i_a];
  for (int counter = 0; counter < i_a; counter++)
i[counter] = new int[i_b];

following can do (in order of familiarity with Scheme)

The Little Schemer,
   by Dan Friedman and friends

   A nice introduction to Scheme, little childish, IMHO, but advances fast


Structure and interpretation of computer programs
by Abelson and Sussman

   Classical text about programming languages, little boring IMHO, but 
almost
   everyone I know swears that *this is THE book* on topic.


The Seasoned Schemer
   by Dan Friendman and friends

   Interesting and fresh book, introduces unusual aspects of programming


Essentials of Programming Languages
   by Dan Friendman and friends

   Heavyweight text on writing interpreters and compilers. During the 
course,
   introduces good Scheme techniques

Other good (and even excellent) books exist, but those 4 are highly 
recommended.

And, of course, when Scheme Book will be done, you will be able to print 
it. I even
will convert it to TeX :)

Not if you're careful.
And note, for example, that many portable programs come with their own
sprintf-like functionality.

Because if one follows the standard, one has less chance to get bitten.
(Simple, wasn't it?)

Yes, C is sorely lacking. You won't find a single soul here that will
tell you it is not. So? Python is not perfect, Scheme is not perfect,
Smalltalk is not perfect, C++ is downright horrible. Live with it.

Re: KDE stops create any windows

I saw it happening a couple of times  under Mandrake 7.
IIRC it meant that kfm went away. After restarting

That is an understatement. Arkeia barfing usually means total lack of a
possibility
to find out WHY it barfed. And yes, when it works, it works well.

However, it is quite expensive too (roughly 5k euro for a library-enabled
version
with a 40-client pack) and has little in the way of support in Israel.

Don't even THINK of using ArcSERVE for anything more than backing up
/var/spool/lpd.
Only /var/spool/lpd. Current versions of ArcSERVE have a 16M record limit on
the internal
transaction database. This results in roughly a six month backup database
