Developer's Corner / Re: Aptana Studio 3 ROCKS~! (IDE for JavaScript)

« Last post by Ath on May 17, 2012, 06:14 AM »

Is it? That's weird. I think I've used Aptana before and liked it a lot for JS. But I've also used Eclipse before and didn't like it very much.

-Deozaan (May 17, 2012, 05:53 AM)

I'm using Eclipse 3.7.x with Java a lot,

o_O

and I prefer it much over NetBeans (7.x), even though that NB has some convenience points over Eclipse (mostly related to the default project/deployment features of the standard Ant build script, but I have my own set of Ant scripts).
I wish I had a same level IDE for C# (comparing usefulness and speed with VS2010... , and yes, I'm running W7x64 on an i7-860 with 8 GB memory).
OTOH, using Eclipse with C/C++ is IMHO absolute horror, compared even to Borland C++Builder 5 or 6.

Hm, still got trapped into that IDE-war, though I didn't want to go there

I didn't want to scare people off by saying the "E" word!

-Renegade (May 17, 2012, 03:07 AM)

Some ppl actually like that "E" thing but I don't wanna start another flame/praise thread about IDE's.

As (we already) said, Aptana is great for JS, and ofc also for other web-related development (it supports nearly anything that is used for website development), and it's also available as an Eclipse plugin.

Untested: http://www.softinter...oc%5CConvert-Doc.htm

For as far as I could see it's free (other stuff I found using a simple Google search was payware), but I couldn't test it for you, you can do that yourself, I assume.
You may need to add an option to the Explorer context menu for .doc files if it doesn't do that by default.

Aptana Studio isn't VS, but man... It's close, and certainly makes JavaScript programming much nicer.

-Renegade (May 17, 2012, 12:53 AM)

You could just have said that Aptana is in fact a customized release of Eclipse 3.x, but maybe that's too much for a VS addict like you

They do have quite amazing Javascript support, yeah!

Alt+drag the exe to the startup folder (that creates a shortcut)
or right-click the exe & "create shortcut" - that's usually made on the desktop. You can them move it.

-tomos (May 14, 2012, 03:47 AM)

Right-Click+drag on the application-exe is the standard Windows action for this workflow of creating a startup-shortcut

Could it (optionally) add the date before the name, instead of at the end? That is an often used way of archiving
Also the underscore-separator would optimally be a configurable option, and be able to leave it out, imho...

If big parties like Microsoft and Google back out of this market because of lack of customers, why wouldn't a relatively small/new party like owncloud not back out/disappear if business isn't as expected? You'd be bitten by a mouse instead of either the cat or the dog...

Well, it can give a few graphs for a single application, and a listview of the threads owned by that application-instance, if you double-click an application:





But true, that's not a graph per cpu-core

But you can limit the cpu-affinity to 1 or more CPU's (default it's to all, like on my i7-860):

Then let's say you write your app for 4 cores, then next year Intel does an 8 core comp, boom, you're back to wasted comp power again.

-TaoPhoenix (May 06, 2012, 04:11 AM)

If you (not personal) had taken the correct approach, you'd either code for 0, 1 or n cores, meaning not, single-threading or (unlimited) multi-threading, and not for a specific number of cores (and that could start a whole new discussion, I know, please don't take it there) I'm just saying that limiting to a specific number of cores (or other array-like structures) is just wrong. By design.

The premise of that is simply untrue, there is no way to 'unlock those unused cores'.

-db90h (May 05, 2012, 06:50 PM)

I will not use any software of this kind

-Contro (May 05, 2012, 07:03 PM)

Just use multiple software packages/tools at the same time, and have/give them some data to crunch on, that'll put those CPU-Cores to work

Yeah, well, I've been talking on irc with Saira about this, and over a few weeks it eventually grew into what it's now. Using VS2010, C# and WinForms (much lighter than a WPF UI) and a few OSS libraries (.xls and .xlsx/.csv handling) its quite easy to mock up first, then fill in the missing pieces (objects), and re-using a few snippets I've crafted over the years makes some tasks easy peasy
