Comment on How To Catch “Kill” Events with Python by j hamowitz

This isn’t even signal handling. This is catching the VM exiting and doing something about it. Dummy.

Sadly this only works fine if you run a script on a console with python.exe, but not if you run it in the background with pythonw.exe.

All I need is a way to catch the terminate signal sent by Windows when I shut the computer down, but I can’t find any way to do it. Atexit doesn’t work either.

Comment on Java Mocking Frameworks Comparison by Adarsh Thimmappa

Try JMockit and let me know. And, it’s much more powerful too. It purely depends on what all things you are looking for from mocking perspective. Anyways, happy mocking.

I need to stop process of test.exe (without explicit killing) using win32event.setevent, but I m not able to do that, just because my exe is continuously pinging to socket port, how to resolve this problem ?

Hey Daniel,

thanks for this very good and easy example!

Eventually, I now understand how Scala blocks are declared and used.

\end{Verbatim}

Comment on Adding a Pidgin Trayicon to DWM by Johannes

Johannes — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 14:50:12 +0000

I find Pidgin works great in dwm, without a tray icon. Here’s how I do it:

- In rules: { “Pidgin”, NULL, NULL, 1 << 3, False, -1 }
- Disable tray icon and enable urgency hint in Pidgin

Now dwm's tag list will change the colors of tag 4 when you get a message (perfect unobtrusive notification imo), and I just mod-4 to bring up Pidgin (message window and buddy list, tiled)

Comment on Compiling LaTeX Documents using Makefiles by Amit

I usually use my file name as ‘paper.tex’ (atleast for papers) and hence there is hardly anything to change in your Makefile! Nice stuff :-)

Comment on What is the most popular programming language? by Brian

Brian — Sat, 06 Nov 2010 23:49:11 +0000

I searched and was shocked to see that C is right at the top in popularity.
I did a lot of C programming until about 15 years ago and figured it was pretty much dead (by now) due to all the advancements in hardware and GUI.
Back then, I was still writing C within the DOS framework of mind. I just need to look and see if today’s C can still do the job.
