The design of Scala started in 2001 at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) by Martin Odersky, following on from work on Funnel, a programming language combining ideas from functional programming and Petri nets. Odersky had previously worked on Generic Java and javac, Sun's Java compiler. Scala was released late 2003 / early 2004 on the Java platform, and on the .NET platform in June 2004. A second version of the language, v2.0, was released in March 2006.

As CPU cores become both faster and more numerous, the limiting factor for most programs is now, and will be for some time, memory access. Hardware designers have come up with ever more sophisticated memory handling and acceleration techniques-such as CPU caches-but these cannot work optimally without some help from the programmer. Unfortunately, neither the structure nor the cost of using the memory subsystem of a computer or the caches on CPUs is well understood by most programmers. This paper explains the structure of memory subsys- tems in use on modern commodity hardware, illustrating why CPU caches were developed, how they work, and what programs should do to achieve optimal performance by utilizing them.

When you see a message, asking if you want to merge the folders from your old account to your new one. You have to click Yes. That is all about, the fixes for Settings App Not Working in Windows 10. You must have known that the Settings app is very important in Windows.

-prefix-free lets you use only unprefixed CSS properties everywhere. It works behind the scenes, adding the current browser's prefix to any CSS code, only when it's needed.

The Visual Component Framework is an advanced C++ application framework that makes it easy to produce powerful Windows applications in C++. The framework is a based on a thoroughly modern C++ design and has built in support for Rapid Application Development (RAD). The framework is designed to be portable over multiple platforms and compilers, so you don't have to lose all that work that went into writing your app for a single platform!

Extensions built with eCSStender greatly simplify the design process because you can author modern CSS using advanced selectors, properties such as border-radius, or custom font faces and rest assured that your design will work... even in IE6. To see what you can use today, browse the extensions. To use the extensions, download eCSStender and include it and your extensions in your site.

Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration management system. It provides a framework within which a team of developers may work on many changes to a program independently, and Aegis coordinates integrating these changes back into the master source of the program, with as little disruption as possible.

Lazarus is a free and open source development tool for the FreePascal Compiler. The purpose of the project is to serve as a Code Repository, Wiki Knowledgebase and support site for converting existing components and libraries to work with Lazarus and FPC

"This is a C++ wrapper for the Sqlite database C application programming interface. The code works for linux/unix, as well as win32. This library supports version 3 of the sqlite database. From version 1.2 the connection pool can be made threadsafe. "

The Programming Historian is an open-access introduction to programming in Python, aimed at working historians (and other humanists) with little previous experience.

This page gives brief, visual reference for the most common commands in git. Once you know a bit about how git works, this site may solidify your understanding.

ecoder is an open-source web-based code editor, with real-time colour syntax highlighting, which allows multiple documents to be edited directly online at the same time. mecoder made possible thanks to editarea javascript wizardy.requirementsecoder works with most standards compliant browsers which have javascript enabled. internet explorer 6 is not supported.

Placecast MatchAPI is a Rosetta Stone for location data, translating addresses from different location data sources and resolving them to the one correct place. The Placecast MatchAPI resolves the two most challenging problems of working with large location-based data sets. First, it disambiguates addresses by identifying all of the different ways to express the address of a location and verifying that those differing expressions refer to the same place. Second, it maps all the relevant IDs from your different content providers to that same place so that it is always referred to correctly by any other system.

Yes, you've guessed correctly - the answer is "42". In this article you will find 42 recommendations about coding in C++ that can help a programmer avoid a lot of errors, save time and effort. The author is Andrey Karpov - technical director of "Program Verification Systems", a team of developers, working on PVS-Studio static code analyzer. Having checked a large number of open source projects, we have seen a large variety of ways to shoot yourself in the foot; there is definitely much to share with the readers. Every recommendation is given with a practical example, which proves the currentness of this question. These tips are intended for C/C++ programmers, but usually they are universal, and may be of interest for developers using other languages.

We have a practice of occasionally re-analyzing projects we have already checked with PVS-Studio. There are several reasons why we do so. For example, we want to know if we have managed to eliminate false positives for certain diagnostics. But the most interesting thing is to see how new diagnostic rules work and what errors they can find. It is very interesting to watch the tool catch more and more new defects in a project that seems to be cleaned out already. The next project we have re-checked is Clang.

I am making this post thinking "Better late than never", as I was supposed to make this post a long time ago, actually in the beta period of Visual Studio 2012, like I did with Visual Studio 2010, unfortunately I was held up with other stuff, personal and work related. This post remained as partially completed in my blog's drafts for a long time which I took and finished.
