Vim Plugins You Should Know About, Part VII: ragtag.vim (formerly allml.vim) - good cod... - 0 views

  •  
    This is the seventh post in the article series "Vim Plugins You Should Know About". This time I am going to introduce you to a plugin called "ragtag.vim". A month ago it was still known as "allml.vim" but now it has been renamed to ragtag.vim. The best parts of RagTag are mappings for editing HTML tags. It has a mapping for quickly closing open HTML tags, a mapping for quickly turning the typed word into a pair of open/close HTML tags, several mappings for inserting HTML doctype, linking to CSS stylesheets, loading JavaScript and it includes mappings for wrapping the typed text in a pair of tags for PHP, or for ASP or eRuby, and {% .. %} for Django. RagTag is written by Tim Pope. He's the master of Vim plugin programming. I have already written about two of his plugins - surround.vim and repeat.vim and more articles about his plugins are coming!

Computerworld - The A-Z of Programming Languages: BASH/Bourne-Again Shell - 0 views

  • Interviews The A-Z of Programming Languages: BASH/Bourne-Again ShellWhen the Bourne Shell found its identity
  • in this article we chat to Chet Ramey about his experience maintaining Bash.
  • In BASH's case, the problem to be solved was a free software version of the Posix standard shell to be part of the GNU system.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • the original Bourne Shell was very influential, the various System V shell releases preserved that heritage, and the Posix committee used those versions as the basis for the standard they developed. Certainly the basic language syntax and built-in commands are direct descendants of the Bourne Shell's. Bash's additional features and functionality build on what the Bourne shell provided. As for source code and internal implementation, there's no relationship at all
  • Bash will continue to evolve as both an interactive environment and a programming language. I'd like to add more features that allow interested users to extend the shell in novel ways. The programmable completion system is an example of that kind of extension.
  • Do you have any advice for up-and-coming programmers? Find an area that interests you and get involved with an existing community. There are free software projects in just about any area of programming. The nuts-and-bolts -- which language you use, what programming environment you use, where you do your work -- are not as important as the passion and interest you bring to the work itself.

Linux.com :: Profiling entire system activity with sysprof - 0 views

  • Profiling entire system activity with sysprof
  • Profiling an application lets you see what functions are taking up most of the CPU time so you can concentrate your optimization efforts on making the those pieces of code run faster. With sysprof, you can profile all the applications that are running on your machine
  • To get the most out of sysprof you should also install the debug information for all the applications you wish to profile. Without the debug information you will see only the name of a shared library in the profile information and not be able to tell what functions are taking up the lion's share of time spent in that library.

Ubuntu Server: Kernel Configuration Considerations - ServerWatch.com - 0 views

  • Preemption The server kernel has kernel preemption turned off (CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y), while the desktop kernel has it enabled (CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y, CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY=y). Preemption works along with scheduling to fine-tune performance, efficiency and responsiveness. In non-preemptive kernels, kernel code runs until completion; the scheduler can't touch it until it's finished. But the Linux kernel allows tasks to be interrupted at nearly any point (but not when it is unsafe, which is a whole huge fascinating topic all by itself), so that tasks of lesser-priority can jump to the head of the line. This is appropriate for desktop systems because users typically have several things going at once: writing documents, playing music, Web surfing, downloading and so on. Users don't care how responsive background applications are; they care only about the ones they're actively using. So if loading a Web page takes a little longer while the user is writing an e-mail, it's an acceptable trade-off. Overall efficiency and performance are actually reduced but not in a way that annoys the user. On servers you want to minimize any and all performance hits, so turning off preemption is usually the best practice.

Linux Is on the Rise For Business - PCWorld Business Center - 1 views

  • according to a report released Tuesday by the Linux Foundation in partnership with Yeoman Technology Group. With data from an invited pool of more than 1900 respondents, the survey found that 76 percent of the world's largest organizations plan to add more Linux servers over the next 12 months. By contrast, only 41 percent plan to add Windows servers, while 44 percent say they will be decreasing or maintaining the same number of Windows machines over the next year.
  • Large companies are planning to increase their reliance on Linux over the next five years
  • Looking out over five years, the difference is even more marked: A full 79 percent plan to add Linux servers over that time, while only 21 percent will add new Windows servers.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • To understand Linux trends among the world's largest companies and government organizations, Yeoman and The Linux Foundation focused in particular on responses from a subset of close to 400 respondents representing organizations with annual revenues of $500 million or more or greater than 500 employees.
  • Sixty-six percent of the planned Linux deployments mentioned by respondents are for brand-new applications or services, while 37 percent are migrations from Windows, the survey found.
  • "We are seeing more migration at Microsoft's expense than the industry analysis might lead you to believe," McPherson noted.
  • Since Linux is free, sales-linked estimates tend to underestimate its adoption considerably.
  • this survey involves some sample bias
  • the data isn't tied to server sales the way so much industry data is
  • a full 60 percent of respondents said they're planning to use Linux for more mission-critical workloads than they have in the past
  • Lack of vendor lock-in and openness of the code were other frequently cited drivers
  • long-term viability of the platform
  • choice of software and hardware
  • n cloud contexts, meanwhile, Linux led far and away, with 70 percent naming it as their primary platform, compared with 18 percent citing Windows and 11 citing Unix

Red Hat: 'Yes, we undercut Oracle with hidden Linux patches' * Channel Register - 5 views

  • "We made the change, quite honestly, because we are absolutely making a set of steps that make it more difficult for competitors that wish to provide support services on top of Red Hat Enterprise Linux," Red Hat chief technology officer Brian Stevens tells The Register, before naming those competitors. "Today, there are two competitors that I'm aware of that go to our customers directly, offering to support RHEL directly for them...Oracle and Novell."
  • "The work that we've done should not impede companies from building their own versions of Linux and supporting those for their customers," he says. "All the code we deliver through RHEL is out there. In most cases, the changes that go into RHEL. We already distribute into the upstream kernel. We have an upstream-first policy, where we're developing openly and then later integrating into our tree and then delivering it. So it shouldn't at all impede the community or anybody that's in the business of competing on that."

RMS On Header Files and Derivative Works - Slashdot - 2 views

  • "In this email from 2003, Richard Stallman says 'I've talked with our lawyer about one specific issue that you raised: that of using simple material from header files. Someone recently made the claim that including a header file always makes a derivative work. That's not the FSF's view. Our view is that just using structure definitions, typedefs, enumeration constants, macros with simple bodies, etc., is NOT enough to make a derivative work. It would take a substantial amount of code (coming from inline functions or macros with substantial bodies) to do that.' This should help end the recent FUD about the Android 'clean headers.'"
