Wouldnt it be faster to have the log_id in a variable so you don't have to do a select and an update? In fact wouldnt it be faster to just store 48 hours and delete the oldest 24? Is it going to kill you to have 47:59 hours of logs?

Same here on regular consoles. We did use lua and once UnrealScript and the reduction in iteration time to seconds was worth any loss of speed in the short term (i.e. discover the game, then downcode what you need to later). However, times

I think its becoming increasingly less necessary to learn something else. I think javascript is, after a decade or so, finally coming into its own. I agree that one should use a library that lets someone else deal with the inevitable bullsh

Totally agree. Started with assembly language, then C, C++, C#, Java. I'd been dreading doing anything in the browser, and was playing with GWT and other esoteric things. But I'm finally getting my head around javascript and its just a heck

No the real problem is that you fail to understand that Java gets to call these things what ever it likes because language has context. And your example fails to compare apples to apples. In Java Integer is an object, but int is not. You

"Without restriction". Not that that matters. If a license doesnt have a term, then its irrevocable. Oracle can always change the license for future releases. You must bear in mind that this is open source. Oracle does not own this. It does

Passing an object by reference is the same thing as passing an object reference by value. It is just semantics. Its not even splitting hairs. Its demanding that his specific definitions are somehow more correct than any other.

On the contrary: the software is called "hudson", and the license explicitly grants the right to deal in the software without restriction . Those rights include the rights to distribute and publish, but "including" doesnt mean "only". In

Because it needs to be said. PHBs look at the iPhone and its success, and see that it uses ObjectiveC, and jump on the bandwagon. Someone who has actually used ObjectiveC and other languages needs to point out that Emperor Steve's new cloth

Which would be a valid point if Objective-C had evolved since 1986. The C family has evolved since then, C++, Java, C# v1 - C# v4. Objective-C gained properties in v2 and a host of ways to break encapsulation but its hardly evolved. The too

I love "next gen platforms" based on technology from 1986. At least it doesn't use punch cards, I guess.

Well, I don't know much, but I do know that memcache has a limit of 1MB per value. So that fact that he attributes this to be a problem with AppEngine tells me two things: 1. He doesnt read technical specs (forget the manual, just the basic

No mate, that's not what he asked. He asked: 3. Third-party apps that are exclusive to Android. And followed it up with this: "At this point, I’m guessing, Android fans are ready to exclaim that the fact that Android supports things like ho

Oh piffle to all you nay-sayers. Look at what he's done! What fun! How great it is to zoom around a world entirely of your own creation! Who cares about the rest? Not me. Sure, I would have just used a 2D structure instead of a 3D one, and

Looks ulgy and hacky. But OTOH is mind bogglingly fast on multicore processors (i.e anything bigger than an iPhone). I think its just become the basis of my next project.

No, not in that context. But maybe when you posted them on the internet, maybe that's a different context? And being a CSS expert, you were quickly able to add the sentence "Use the arrow keys" in a nice, small, print at the bottom. Right?

Perhaps people call themselves a C programmer because they are advertising their skills for a job. Calling themselves "a programmer" might find them getting less jobs. But to assume the argument has merit, lets follow it to its natural conc
