scala - What do Futures and Agents in Akka offer over Clojure's counterparts? -


having watched presentation composable futures akka 2.0, curious know additional features akka implementation of futures , agents bring on clojure's ones.

"agents in akka inspired agents in clojure." first line in agent documentation on akka , clears agents part of question. far futures concerned, both same conceptually (i.e invoking operation on separate thread). underlying implementation based on java.util.concurrent, both using same underlying infrastructure.

scala part: important part how composable word come play (both agents , futures). if go akka docs find can use higher-order functions map, filter etc. on akka futures, i.e. map operation on future returns future (and filter). allows compose/chain futures , wait on final future final value. now, possible because map, filter, for comprehension etc. based on scala (monadic) api allows new type provide specific implementations of these functions.

clojure part: on clojure side of things, know map, filter etc normal functions work on collections, i.e work on can traversed , hence different concept monadic api of scala. in clojure use different ways compose futures after clojure (or lisp in general) allow composability in many many ways

linux - Does gcc have any options to add version info in ELF binary file? -

i mean whether gcc can insert source code version infor elf binary section or similar. not want change source file, add info gcc option in makefile. you can emit version info text file, turn text file object file statically link executable. the first step simple have write code: script or write version info in format plain text file. write makefile rule produce version.o version.txt, using objcopy . you'll have object file 2 useful symbols defined in it: beginning , end of textual version info. add generated object executable, , you'll able access version 2 ways: running strings on binary, or writing code in application print version string (you'll need declare start , end symbols variables in header file).

javascript - Clean way to programmatically use CSS transitions from JS? -

as title implies, there proper way set initial css properties (or class) , tell browser transition these value? for example ( fiddle ): var el = document.queryselector('div'), st = el.style; st.opacity = 0; st.transition = 'opacity 2s'; st.opacity = 1; this not animate opacity of element in chrome 29/firefox 23. because ( source ): [...] you’ll find if apply both sets of properties, 1 after other, browser tries optimize property changes, ignoring initial properties , preventing transition. behind scenes, browsers batch property changes before painting which, while speeding rendering, can have adverse affects. the solution force redraw between applying 2 sets of properties. simple method of doing accessing dom element’s offsetheight property [...] in fact, hack work in current chrome/firefox versions. updated code ( fiddle - click run after opening fiddle run animation again): var el = document.queryselector('div'...
