Re: When did Javascript become a serious language?

My best guess as to the cause: it's the never-ending battle between chrome and firefox. They have been experimenting with every facet of the language to get better market share and one-up each other for the past decade. So, I mean, javascript has had billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands

Re: When did Javascript become a serious language?

That's just silly. If Javascript was all that, Google would be all over it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AngularJS Oh, wait. That's right. Well, it's not like it has any momentum. http://www.ng-conf.org/ Oh. Right. And look at that hottie on that page! Did you see his beard? On Sat, Dec 7, 2

Re: When did Javascript become a serious language?

Sounds great! One thing that I admit I am struggling with, is the idea of functions not returning values. Obviously, this isn't a limitation in the language itself and more a matter of style. But it seems like most of the libs I'm working with want me hand them a function (pointer?) to call back

JavaScript has become an amazing client-side language. There is even server-side stuff in JS. On Sat, Dec 7, 2013 at 5:37 PM, S. Dale Morrey wrote: > I've been working on a sparetime project for a few weeks and had something > mostly coded up in Java, then realized that perhaps I was trying to >

Re: It's alive! Well sorta.

It's just a feeder script, so in the end my solution was just to issue init.d/mydaemon start through cron on an hourly basis. It's not vital that it run ALL the time just most of the time, and the daemon will already refuse to let more than 1 run at time. I know it seems like a kludge, but adding

When did Javascript become a serious language?

I've been working on a sparetime project for a few weeks and had something mostly coded up in Java, then realized that perhaps I was trying to re-invent the wheel so I googled for a library to do the heavy lifting for me. Imagine my surprise when many of my queries for xyz java library started ret

I've used monit for something like this before. It can restart the daemon when it crashes, or when it uses too much memory/cpu. On Sat, Dec 7, 2013 at 2:18 AM, S. Dale Morrey wrote: > I've got a system I'm in charge of that uses a standard init script. i.e. > /etc/init

It's alive! Well sorta.

I've got a system I'm in charge of that uses a standard init script. i.e. /etc/init.d/mydeamon start The problem is the daemon can randomly crash and because it's a signed binary I can't just fix the problem and recompile. The thing MUST stay running. I was thinking about using a Nagios solution

Imagine OpenStep but built on gnome and with a built in search box instead of a proper menu. That's pretty much unity. On Sat, Dec 7, 2013 at 12:18 AM, Dan Egli wrote: > On December 5, 2013, Michael Torrie wrote: > > > Mint isn't less common. It's probably one of the fastest growing > > > dist

I think mint is just ubuntu without the craplets installed. For a gentoo rival you need to look at Arch linux. On Sat, Dec 7, 2013 at 12:12 AM, Dan Egli wrote: > Hey all, I'm making some plans, and one of the things I was going to do was > to build a home server running Gentoo so I could have
