Add this to your ~/.inputrc:


# Control+right

Notice those are O's (the letter) not 0's (zeroes).

You may need to have this in your .bashrc

Virtual functions performance cost

noreply@blogger.com (Kevin) — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 17:48:00 +0000

From Efficient C++ Performance Programming Techniques:

Virtual functions seem to inflict a performance cost in several ways:
The vptr must be initialized in the constructor.
A virtual function is invoked via pointer indirection. We must fetch the pointer to the function table and then access the correct function offset.
Inlining is a compile-time decision. The compiler cannot inline virtual functions whose resolution takes place at run-time.

Ubuntu - core dump

noreply@blogger.com (Kevin) — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 20:02:00 +0000

From https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/10616

It appears that resource limits (which include the maximum size of a core dump file) are set by PAM on login. The settings for these limits are in /etc/security/limits.conf, which on my system (which is unmodified) is comments only. A quick look at the source code suggests that the default core dump limit is 0 (zero), which means no dump at all is created (even though the message suggests otherwise).

In summary: edit /etc/security/limits.conf, set the core limit to be non-zero (measured in kilobytes), and log in again.

I hope that works!

Mouse gestures

noreply@blogger.com (Kevin) — Mon, 09 Jul 2007 01:08:00 +0000

What is a mouse gesture?

They can probably be explained better with an example:
Say you wanted to scroll down on a webpage using your mouse. Normally, you would point your mouse cursor to a scroll bar and clicking on it. Using mouse gestures, you would click and hold on to the right mouse button, move the mouse cursor down a little bit, and then let go of the button.

What are the advantages of mouse gestures?

First off, you don't need to point to any user interface element; thus, mouse gestures save time by minimizing mouse movement.
Most mouse gesture programs allow you to customize what your mouse gestures do. For example, if you did not want the down gestures to scroll down, you can change it to do something else such as changing tabs.

How do I add mouse gestures?

For Windows: StrokeIt
For Firefox: All-in-One Gestures
