Mongrel vs Thin Performance

Josh — Sat, 01 May 2010 18:58:08 +0000

Thin won out in pretty much every category showing it can handle a larger volume of traffic faster than mongrel can.

Boolean Aglebra / Canonical SOP form

Josh — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 13:43:45 +0000

Got tired of doing these by hand for classes so I made a little program… VERY basic, only handles one missing variable, but it orders them in terms of min terms and multiplies them out properly… perhaps ill generalize it more the N terms and make a little web service out of it….

For now I got a camera (finally) for Christmas and started taking some random photos…. I also managed to drop my iPhone… it still works so hopefully I wont have to replace it for a while…

C++ not reading in integers: Windows vs Mac error?

Josh — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:08:55 +0000

Well I was doing some homework today in XCode and ran across a strange error…

Assume the first line of the file is an integer, lets say 127

ifstream inFile;
int number;
inFile >> number;

You would think, on both windows and mac this would store 127 in number.
Only on windows. On my mac it would read in 0 as the value.

On mac (specifically in xcode) to get that number…

ifstream inFile;
int num;
string temp_num;
inFile >> temp_num;
num = atoi(temp_num.c_str());

Interesting little bug, or perhaps design choice?
