...he same commit message (in order to revert a wrongfully deleted file) were grouped into one big commit, which resulted in a missing file from the tree.. I was able to solve this problem by modifying the 'fuzz' parameter to less than a minute. example: % git cvsimport -d $CVSROOT -C dir_to_create ...

...ution analyzers, branch predictors, Intel's "micro-ops fusion" that try to group instructions into larger batches of simultaneous work (kind of like the VLIW/Itanium titanic). There are even cache boundaries that could make the code run faster for god-knows-why if it's bigger (maybe the cache contro...

Perhaps I should have stated that a polyp was many occurrences of the letter p although, now that I've had to explain the joke, even that doesn't seem funny either. Sometimes, you should just quit w...

...ch user like admin, guest_user, normal_user. The profiles are just logical grouping of permissions, independent of spring-security. When a new user is added, a profile is assigned to it (having all permissible permissions). Now when ever user try to perform some action, permission/role for that acti...

...ue that are compatible with C++98. We just divided the rvalues into two subgroups, xvalues and prvalues, and we refer to lvalues and xvalues as glvalues. Xvalues are a new kind of value category for unnamed rvalue references. Every expression is one of these three: lvalue, xvalue, prvalue. A Venn di...

... Mutexes have to remain globaly unique though. Depending on load scenarios group your frontend- and backend-servers by artifact-id ranges. This will allow for better usage of persistent memory (no database has all the data) and makes it possible to scale the mutexing. Your javascript has to maintain...
