This is a tool to analyze large goroutine stacktrace dump files, to assist in debugging by parsing the dump and displaying it in a structured table.

It works entirely client-side (no data is uploaded or stored), groups together goroutines with identical stacktraces into a single entry, and allows quickly sorting/filtering/searching.

Isn't that still missing the point? We don't want to be spied on period, whether there are things to hide or not.

Repository Next 13 years ago

That's about what I would have guessed too, except I think "documentation" is "wiki", and "merging" is "pull requests".

The icons for pull requests and branches are far too similar to each other, in my opinion.

Looked at loom.com, don't get what this site does.

Looked at loom.com/about and read wall of text, still not sure.

I'd suggest finding a more efficient way to communicate what this site is to newcomers.

It's not mentioned in the article, but using the MULTI command (exposed as client.multi() in this module) can sometimes help alleviate this if you need to execute multiple redis commands whose inputs/outputs do not depend on each other.

A while back I actually built a mobile site for playing Jeopardy (originally conceived as a drinking game based on jeopardy, but that's another story...) part of which was a scraper that pulled data off the fan-sourced site and parsed it out.

Code for parsing, if anyone's interested: https://github.com/mpobrien/jeoparty/blob/master/scrape_mong...

And code for scraping: https://github.com/mpobrien/jeoparty/blob/master/curler.sh

Very nice. Do the search results link to the comments pages anywhere? It looks like there are only links directly to the original articles.

If you ask an employee, "Are you bored?" there's a good chance they are going to lie to you, unless you have a strong enough relationship.

>Most access tokens expire in two hours, but some tokens work offline and remain valid until the user changes the password, Doshi said.

FB users can just go into their authenticated applications list and revoke access tokens on a per-application basis. Changing passwords shouldn't be necessary - that's the whole point of access tokens.

Disagree that peanut butter is to be considered "shit." It's high in calories, yes, but contains plenty of protein and good fats plus a bunch of useful micronutrients. As long as you buy a brand without added sugar + vegetable oils, it's quite healthy.

Just because it seems obvious to all of us, doesn't necessarily mean doing research on it is a waste of time. It's interesting and useful even to see things like "dudes just want to impress chicks" put into the context of psychology, physiology and evolution.

I'd just like to post a friendly reminder before this thread fills up with a lot of posts. Please post your location, or if the job(s) in question can be done remotely, specify so - it makes things much easier.

Except newbie programmers should keep in mind that final is not simply synonymous with immutability.

  final ArrayList x = new ArrayList(); // x is final, so it can't be reassigned
  x.add( "foo" ); // but we can still modify its contents

I'm consistently getting a message saying "Viewing in simple list mode due to high traffic to this document" so whatever that limit is, we hit it. I guess I'll have to wait before I can add my info. Bummer.
