Re: Global .gitignore

if you are like me and use more than one type of unix machine you might want to edit ~./gitconfig so that the ~ is not expanded. ie it should look like:

[core]
excludesfile = ~/.gitignore

should work across different unix machines and or users.

Minns inte om jag har set det men en tidigare version hade rikting av de olika punkters flyttning från tidgare tech radar rapoprts. Men den snapshot för man endast hur det ser ut nu men ingen relation till hur det var tidigare.

1) that should be pretty easy to test.

2) this is a possiblity but core logic hasn't changed as much from before we upgraded from rails 2.3.8 to 3.0.3. we had not even set threadsafe under 2.3.8 we let it ride with the default.

3) something definitely changed in the behavior between 2.3.8 and 3.0.3.

i have started trying to pin this down in spare momemts the code is here https://github.com/brianjri.... its a vanilla rails app with pylot inlcuded with one testcase. 3 branches - master with no configuration changes, threadsafe-only with only config.threadsafe! set and thread-safe-max-min-set with config.threadsafe! set and max and min runtimes uncommented.

the testcase just goes to http://localhost:8080/ which shows the default "welcome to rails" page. have only tried 2 tests so far on all branches

1) warble executable war. i am not expecting much from winstone but even after 60 seconds with 10 agents it was not working to well.

2) tried same test again with the same servlet conatiner we use in production but the problems we see in this simple test case don't give much - it works like one expects.

ok just tested setting max and min both to 1 and the throughput was awful (10 agents 60 seconds). ran the test twice but resin had died. redeployed with max and min set to 2 and the throughput (and i suspect the concurrency) went up as we had seen before.

my guess is that the instance count is set to 1 by default. i have not been able to see how the default is set but upping the default up to 2 would solve this problem probably permantly.

only test i can think of we have not tried is to set min=2 and max=4 and *not* commenting out config.threadsafe!

i was as suprised as you that turning on thread safe mode didn't solve it as well. from everything i had found via google it *shoud* have just worked. we were getting warning message that max and min times were not being set from our application server (resin 3.1.9).

i believe i tried setting the max and min both to 1 after having enabled config.threadsafe!
but the concurrency was the same as with the defaults (ie threadsafe, max an min not being set). will try that again post a follow up here

Jag har längge använt mig av rss /atom feed just för denna siftet. Som en plus för jag Endast den text och bilder jag vill har. Jag plockar exakt de nyhets sidorna jag vill har koll på i min reader. Jag började med en stand alone program som sharp reader, netnewswire, liferea men det var ganska jobbig att har det synchroniserade mellan olika datorer.

Nu mera använder jag endast google reader. Det fungera på alla datorer och min mobil så jag är aldrig utan 'mina nyheter'.

På start sidan av google reader finns det tips om andra blogs eller nyhets säjter jag kanske intreserrade av.

Att bygga en anpassade sida det enda jag tycker fungera bra är news.google.com där kan man faktist anpassa sida. news.yahoo.com är en annan som har funktionalitiet men då istället för att saker är verkligen borta göms de istället.
