Say I have a huge git repository and it has a number of swfs and images in there. I want them to be included in the hosted github repository, but they don't need to be versioned, and I don't want to have to store them somewhere else. What is the simplest way I can remove their history every time I commit to a repository? ...Such that, ...
Here's the deal: A Github repo features a historical import from CVS, divided in tags of previous releases. I would like to locally build the various releases to document the UI changes (need screenshots for a writeup). So there is absolutely no need for tracking / further development on the tagged release. I just want the specific f...
Every time in PHP when I make a variable such as this one: $date = strtotime($row['date']); $date = date("M d Y \a\\t g:i A", $date); // Mmm dd YYYY at h:mm PM/AM and somehow row['date'] happens to be 0, the date Dec 31 1969 at 7:00 PM is displayed on the screen? Google does not tell me much, I was wondering if this date had any signi...

There are 2 methods of rewriting the url as far as I know: window.location = "some.url"; - redirect to some.url with history entry window.location.r...

Many computer science curricula include a class or at least a lecture on disasters caused by software bugs, such as the Therac-25 incidents or Ariane 5 Flight 501. Indeed, Wikipedia has a list of software bugs with serious consequences, and a question on StackOverflow addresses some of them too. We study the failures of the past so tha...
Why was java defined such that methods may take as input multiple parameters, but may only return a single object (or void)? Did it make the language somehow easier to implement or use? ...
Why did programmers ever start using status codes? I mean, I guess I could imagine this might be useful back in the days when a text string was an expensive resource. WAYYY back then. But even after we had megabytes of memory to work with, we continued to use them. What possible advantage could there be for obfuscating the meaning of...

Many of you have seen this graph of Google Trends of popular AJAX frameworks (Dojo, jQuery, YUI). The graph seems to make it clear that interest in Dojo collapsed in the second quarter of 2008, falling by 80%; jQuery picked up the slack and ultimately grew to more than triple the size of Dojo. Why? What happened in Q2 2008 that demoli...

What were the most significant events or milestones in the history of computer science? I haven't been able to find a potted history, so I thought I'd see what views the SO community had on the question. I'm studying for a Masters in CS at the moment, so I'm hoping for some stuff to go take a look at that I've not come across before. ...

Has anyone got a script for git that can go through the history, check out each version, apply a cleanup script, then check the cleaned version into another repository? I have some code which I've been developing, but I haven't been consistent with code formatting e.g. tabs vs spaces etc. I'd like to rewrite my entire history to be cons...

It has always struck me as strange that the C function "fopen" takes a "const char *" as the second argument. I would think it would be easier to both read your code and implement the library's code if there were bit masks defined in stdio.h, like "IO_READ" and such, so you could do things like: FILE* myFile = fopen("file.txt", IO_READ ...
I'm looking to rewrite my git repo to use a new branching model I came across: http://nvie.com/git-model But right now all my history lives in the master branch. I'd like to rewrite it (possible using git-filter-branch?) So that all that history is in a branch called development now. Is this possible? It's definitely beyond my limite...
Since I've read Windows User Experience Interaction Guidelines (there's a PDF download avaliable) I've found it to be admirably self-deprecating, humbly pointing out their own horrible UI practices long scolded by Joel Spolsky. I'd like to know, however, what they had in mind while they made those mistakes. Is this (terrific) UX Guid...
