i am running now solaris 10 after toying with 5.8 and 5.9.
IMHO: i too miss htop on my solaris! hard to believe that there are even no source-codes to compile on solaris…
@ Randall: since years i’ve been always looking for SYSV. now it may seem as a rookie question, but i wonder where to get it? can you advise?
many thanks

In the evaluate function:

// check if template already loaded before
if(Jst.templates[src] != true)
{
// load the template synchronous
$.ajaxSetup({async:false});
$.get(Jst.templateRoot + src +’.jst.html’, function(data)
{
// create the textarea container and add the loaded template
$(”body”).append(”+ data +”);

// update the templates status array
Jst.templates[src] = true;
});

// set the global ajax setup back to asynchronous
$.ajaxSetup({async:true});
}

// parse the data with the template
var script = Jst.parse($(”#jst_”+ src).text());
eval(script);

Extra helper var’s:

// the folder where the templates are located
templateRoot:”",

// status array keeping track if templates were loaded before
templates:{}

I stumbled across your page searching for Java Script templates (thanks for the info.!). I’m a web newbie, trying to learn web development (ameteur level for now; possibly professional in the future). Right now I most interested in client side web development. I’m taking a HTML/CSS class at my local community college. As a professional developer, do you have advice on best ways to learn web development? I’m thinking of taking a begining java script and/or PHP course. I’ve also heard Python is good to learn. I appreciate any advice you have based on your experience.

Thanks

du -h works fine for me. I try to make my PATH as POSIX as possible, using ‘getconf PATH’, so du picks up /usr/xpg4/bin/du.

To be honest, if I were too dim to be able to set my PATH properly, I think I’d lay of any sort of posting of this nature until I’d figured it out.

As for “ps axvf?, what an abomination! This is Linux trying to be POSIX, BSD and Uncle Tom Cobbley wrt standards. Solaris has /usr/ucb/ps for BSD style ps and /usr/bin/ps for POSIX ps. Neither is a mish-mash of both standards, and neither supports the tree formatting. And what do you know, Linux ps doesn’t support -Z, so it must be just as bad.

“continues to ding Java whenever the opportunity arises” is accurate.

Spolsky is so anti-Java that when needing a cross platform language like Java, he chose to implement “wasabi” which is a vbscript hack to generate ASP and PHP versions of a bug tracker so he could sell copies to unix shops. Selling cross platform products is smart business, but writing and supporting your own cross platform language when that’s been a long solved problem?

Joel is NOT attacking Java, he’s attacking what has happened to contemporary computer science curriculum — BIG difference there Mark. Java is the the vehicle for the concerns Joel addresses. The implementation of Java is not necessarily the problem.

Go back, read his posts again, clear your mind, and take a deep breath.

I have the exact same frustrations as Joel does. I interview kids all the time fresh out of college and while they are good students, colleges aren’t getting it done. They don’t teach things like pointers or managing resources… and why would one have to? The common refrain I get all the time is the JVM or garbage collection takes care of it. Why would a developer concern themselves with such things? Ugh! When I asked someone recently why they used a string instead of using StringBuilder, they told me my suggestion was stupid because when a desktop comes with 3 – 4 GB or RAM, why worry about memory or performance? Where did this person go to school? A Java school.

I’m tired of giving them simple problems, in an exercise to gauge how they get things done, and seeing 400 lines of code in main(). But since that’s how the Deitel & Deitel books show it, that’s what these kids learn. They are basically memorizing the examples they download or see in a textbook and thus really have no clue what they are doing otherwise.

Unfortunately, this phenomenon has become widespread, and the Java schools are definitely to blame for it.

Heck, I love Java. I’ve worked in C++, C#, and Delphi shops too. But for reasons based upon my work, I prefer Java. And as much of a Java sock-puppet I am, I have never read one of Joel’s articles and thought, wow, this guy has it out for the language. Joel is rightfully ticked at the state of contemporary eduction.
