What factors led to the development of C# in spite of Java

I wasn't around when all this was happening. But when I look at it now, I see Java appeared in 1995 whereas C# appeared in 2001. And the history section for C# on Wikipedia says only the following. James Gosling, who created the Java programming language in 1994, and Bill Joy, a co-founder of Sun Microsystems, the originator of...

How to modify a git repository's history to show contents were imported from another repository?

I have two projects, A and B. They were poorly divided, because A had to run one part before B and another part after B. So I decided to merge them. B's contents were copied into A's working directory, committed, and work continued from there. Of course, B's history was not preserved in the copy-paste. I want to fix this before it's for...

bash navigating to the earliest/latest command in history when you're in the middle of your history

Say I am in a bash terminal and have a large history of commands. I pressed the up arrow a whole bunch of times and am in the "middle" of the history. I want to now navigate to the first or the last command in my history quickly (without holding down the up or the down arrow for a long time). Is this possible? If so, what is the shortcut...

How could I change window's location without reloading and # hack?

At first I thought that hash hack is a requirement, however judging from the recent updates from facebook, I am thinking otherwise. The original hash hack (I am not sure if this is the correct term) is that by changing location.hash, one may save a state in the URL without refreshing the page. That is extensively used by Google's apps, ...

Comparing fields in a trigger

So I've created a trigger that compares update before and after and determines if specific fields, specified in the where clause, have changed. If so, I insert a snapshot of the prior information into a history table. The problem is when the field is created with null values (given the business rules, it is legitimately null) and when ...

Good tutorial for using HTML5 History API (Pushstate?)

I am looking into using the HTML5 History API to resolve deep linking problems with AJAX loaded content, but I am struggling to get off the ground. Does any one know of any good resources? I want to use this as it seems a great way to allow to the possibility of those being sent the links may not have JS turned on. Many solutions fail w...

What’s the JavaFX story?

I hear JavaFX was a horrible failure. What was it exactly? What did it try to accomplish? Why and how did it fail? Edit: Or, if the little birdies I’ve heard are wrong, enlighten me. ...

track tab history plus links on tabs for back button functionality?

Hi all, I've got a page with fg.menu and jquery UI tabs that works fairly well. I've got custom handlers to load menu links into the selected tab. The tabs are all ajax-loaded and the contents also have their own links, which I've handled as such in my tab options: var tabOpts = { select:handleSelect, event: 'change', load: func...

Is there any some way to automatically synchronize firefox and chrome browsing history ?

The title states the problem quite well: Is there any some way to automatically synchronize firefox's with chrome's browsing history (and viceversa) ? Something like XMarks, but working with the history, not only bookmarks. Is it programatically impossible to achieve ? Why hasn't it been done ? ...

How can I rewrite history so that all files are in a subdirectory?

I have a project under git. One day I moved all project files from current directory to foo/bar/ under the project. I did it using git mv. Then I added some more files and did some changes to already existing files. As a result, now when I look at the history of foo/bar/file.c, I can only see changes that I did after I moved the file. ...
