  1. Doesn't this look incredible nice to the eyes? http://twitpic.com/rh7r6
  2. holy fucking shit. correcting CSS submissions for uni. 70% of students use red background with pink text or worse. My eyes hurt.
  3. @aliafshar Wouldn't have happened with IRC
  4. @aliafshar I was referring to the refcounting != garbage collection statement
  5. from the vala docs: "Since Vala's memory management is based on reference counting instead of garbage collection...". Guess I'm not alone
  6. Want to disable overscan on your LG TV? Set the label of the HDMI channel to PC which disables overscan.
  7. @cpojer offline is when you dont have reception. doubt wireless will ever be reliable
  8. @der_ak Touche
  9. @der_ak it does not collect garbage. CPython is a good example: It uses refcounting and a cyclic GC only as last resort.
  10. @jtauber accessing individual integers often? the constant boxing and unboxing can be intense
  11. @der_ak reference counting: does not detect circular dependencies, is faster, works in real-time. GCs usually have to pause the app
  12. @der_ak reference counting is a form of automatic memory management, stuff like mark and sweep really looks for garbage.
  13. @alex_gaynor thank god. that is a good decision
  14. @der_ak reference counting is not garbage collection, or isn't shared_ptr refcounted?
  15. @der_ak That is not a garbage collector. But I know it can be added but I don't see the reason why. Smart pointers are just fine.
  16. @sinbad_ogre you can BSOD-ify an ATI system from user space on XP? awesum
  17. I so vote difflib to the best part of the python standard library. That thing is just awesome :D
  18. Woa. @voidspace that C++ joke of you gets retweeted like mad. Poor C++ :)
  19. RT @voidspace: "Why doesn't C++ have a garbage collector? Because there would be nothing left!"
  20. followup to "mitsuhiko does not like o notations": i know what they mean and how they work: you just should not trust them too much
