Subscribediff -rq firstDirectory secondDirectoryopendiff if you want to use FileMerge on the command line.That said, the new multi-touch track pad does look interesting, though I'd prefer to just install OSX on my new Thinkpad, since I have faulty taste and think it looks cooler than the new Macbook pros.The multi-touch thing is awesome. Two fingers to right click or scroll, three for page up\down and for back and forward, and four for expose. Quite honestly, using it in the store was one of the things that made me decide to buy the Mac over a Thinkpad.
Cost: US$0.00. No spyware/adware/malware risks. If you're a Mac user.I've actually found the opposite to be true, generally I find that there are fewer Mac applications available for free than for Windows. Winmerge, for one, is free and open-source. I've also noticed that a lot of Mac software I want is priced in Euros, which of course makes it even more expensive.
You can't often say the same for Windows utilities, sorry!
See the 2-dimensional plot of 1-dimension of data on the first pageThe second dimension is used to visualize small differences in time which would be harder to see were they represented by slightly varying lengths on a 1-dimensional timeline. Small differences in angle are easier to see than small differences in length, and the curve formed makes it easier to see the overall picture.
the performance increase is 74.5%. By his logic, running in the same amount of time would be a 100% performance jump.You're right. I've corrected the article.
outside of reviewing Apple stuff he also does pretty much all of Ars' interesting content these days (processor and chipset architectures and so on)I think you're combining two people: John Siracusa (me) and Jon Stokes. Jon does the CPU stuff and I do the Mac OS X stuff.
The venerable master Qc Na was walking with his student, Anton. Hoping to prompt the master into a discussion, Anton said "Master, I have heard that objects are a very good thing - is this true?" Qc Na looked pityingly at his student and replied, "Foolish pupil - objects are merely a poor man's closures."And his take on GCD is kind of disappointing (for someone like me), because it doesn't talk about how GCD is better or worse than classic threads, and how you deal with shared state (which doesn't go away, not even in Erlang, unless you get rid of observable nondeterminism).
Chastised, Anton took his leave from his master and returned to his cell, intent on studying closures. He carefully read the entire "Lambda: The Ultimate..." series of papers and its cousins, and implemented a small Scheme interpreter with a closure-based object system. He learned much, and looked forward to informing his master of his progress.
On his next walk with Qc Na, Anton attempted to impress his master by saying "Master, I have diligently studied the matter, and now understand that objects are truly a poor man's closures." Qc Na responded by hitting Anton with his stick, saying "When will you learn? Closures are a poor man's object." At that moment, Anton became enlightened.
