libevent2 and file io

I've been toying around with libevent2, and I've got reading files working, but it blocks. Is there any way to make file reading not block just within libevent. Or, do I need to use another IO library for files and make it pump events that I need. fd = open("/tmp/hello_world",O_RDONLY); evbuffer_read(buf,fd,4096); The O_NONBLOCK flag ...

jQuery - Disable HTML Page until .load calls is done.

What is the easiest way to disable an entire HTML page until an initial .load call is complete? What I mean by disable is the user can not interact with it in any way. It is ok for them to navigate away. I am using jQuery 1.2.6. Is it to set the call to be sync instead of async? how do you set options for this on the .load function? U...

Converting to Twisted Asynchronous Design

Need a ruby solution for executing a method in separate process.

[.NET] BeginReceive / BeginRead timeouts

I'm using a NetworkStream & TcpClient to asynchronously receive data using BeginRead. I need to apply a time-out to this operation, such that after a specified amount of time the read will be aborted.

Silverlight AutoCompleteComboBox - build list asyncronously?

I would like to have a textbox in a Silverlight app where the user can type in it, and after a few characters are entered the control calls a web service to retrieve a list of potential choices that the user can choose from.

dojo.Deferred: Gracefully canceling a .then() chain?

I have a chain of async calls, linked together using dojo.Deferred objects as async wrapper (at least how i understand it) and the .then() function to 'link' the async calls. At any one of the links in the chain, some test could fail (such as my async store fetch returned no objects, etc) and i want to gracefully exit the entire .then(...

Asynchronous Callbacks to Dismissed Viewcontrollers?

Have noticed issue while testing iphone app that if one quickly opens/dismisses a modal view which contains asynchronous http calls the app eventually freezes up with a EXC_BAD_ACCESS message.

How does jQuery's synchronous AJAX request work?

Does jQuery.ajax({async: false}) still use the XMLHttpRequest object? If so, how is the request synchronous? Is there just some mechanism inside the function definition that allows the asynchronous request put out by the XHR to be wrapped in a synchronous wrapper? I ask because I want to wrap asynchronous function calls into a synchro...

Best way to make title bounce when a new message is received and tab is inactive?

This is what I have so far, but it's ugly and feels non-best practicey. For example, if multiple messages are received, it starts the changeTitle cycle multiple times. var hasFocus = true; $(window).bind("blur", function() { hasFocus = false; }); $(window).bind("focus", function() { hasFocus = true; document.title = 'SiteN...
