Enough people has posted their latest history meme results. It's time to draw some obvious conclusions: The top two spot in the listings usually belong to cd and ls The world is divided into two camps: The "cd" camp includes those who has more "cd"s than "ls"s in their history; and the "ls" camp...

I've been using Ant since the very early days. ("Tomcat is built with Ant. What is Ant?" Remember those days?) Since my use of ant does not usually involve anything esoteric, I have fallen victim to version inertia. Ant 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 came out over the years, and I didn't much glance at the release notes. Meanwhile, some...

I just have a simple question for all you dual-core machine owners: Has owning and developing on a dual-core machine helped with your concurrent programming? Let me be specific: What would you miss the most, as a programmer who has to deal with concurrent programming issues, if, through some magic, I took away one of your cores and double the...

This is another one of those making things work in Cygwin posts. You can safely skip this post if you are not married to Cygwin, or have not followed my Ten Steps To Higher Cygwin Productivity. The issue this time is with a little library called JLine, which is a BSD licensed library that brings GNU readline style command line editing to Java...

You know what? This closure thing has gotten into my head. I know it's pointless and useless to think and talk about it all the time, but I can't help it. Well, my loss is your gain. And today's Friday quiz will take you all the way back to C. Yes, old trusty C! Although ANSI C does not support closures, some C compilers provide...
