loadzeroon Creating a visual map between code and its parse tree

Author here. I am guessing you mean display the parse trees for python snippets?

It wouldn't be too difficult to do in backend code, using something like https://docs.python.org/2/library/ast.html.

It might be tricky to get it to work completely in the frontend, like the demos in this article.

A) Continuous triggers are implemented by using the logical replication features of Postgres. This means that changes are consumed from a queue and evaluated in a separate process to the rest of the system. A long running trigger will block the trigger process only.

B) We do re-use quite a bit of the standard trigger mechanisms, but we wanted to use our own evaluation context to support extra features. For example, continuous triggers can be defined on sliding windows, which require the trigger to be evaluated over multiple transformed tuples in the underlying table.

loadzeroon Tracking down a segfault in grep

Thanks for the positive feedback and the contribution, I appreciate it. It's a good book :)

loadzeroon Tracking down a segfault in grep

Yep - I'm on 10.9.5

loadzeroon Tracking down a segfault in grep

Author here. Part 2 will be coming soon.

If you would like the immersive experience - try this at the mac terminal:

echo i860 | grep --color -e i860 -e i86

loadzeroon Anatomy of a code tracer

Looks like a version of valgrind but for reversing purposes.

I remember reading about the c65 in zzap!64 back in the day.

This (old) page has a bit more info.
