Current implementations carry along some fairly big libraries, but speed
is up there in the ballpark with other fully-compiled languages such as
Pascal/C/C++/FORTRAN/Ada and is improving as the compilers get better.

Not true, IMHO. Even such simple things as // comments, declaring
variables at first use, inline functions and const instead of #define,
structs as type names, references, cleaned-up casting, and default
arguments make C++ better than C.

Quite true.
And anything you can do in C++ or C, you can also do by directly toggling
in machine code in binary. The use of an assembler or compiler is just a
programming decision, nothing fundamental.
However that argument says nothing about programmer convenience and
productivity. Like C and C++, Dylan aims to enable the programmer to get
as close to the speed of hand-coded machine code as possible. In many
cases, the "d2c" compiler I use produces programs that perform identically
to the equivalent C program, in othe cases it's a few percent slower (the
gap is narrowing for more and more cases as the compiler improves).
Dylan is not several hundred percent slower than C as Java is.

I agree that Java is a slow pig. Much of this is due to the usual
bytecode implementations which have big performance penalties even with a
JIT JVM. But Java also has a number of serious performance problems
inherent in the design, even with a native compiler. That doesn't stop it
being useful for a number of things, including the ability to bash out
reliable code very quickly in terms of programmer time. Dylan has all the
programmer productivity advantages of Java wihout the slowness.

I can happily write anything in 68K or PPC assembler, PL/I, Pascal, C, C++
or Java.

Subject: DHCPCD and Redhat 6.0 - Lease renewal problems?
Date: Sat, 26 Jun 1999 04:02:27 GMT
DHCP does not appear to be renewing the lease correctly. Is there
something wrong with the version of DHCP that ships with RedHat 6.0?
This worked fine at RH5.2
[mike@sunflower ~]$ rpm -qa | grep dhcp
dhcp-2.0b1pl6-6
dhcpcd-1.3.17pl2-1
---
If I run:
dhcpcd -k
dhcpcd
...
I get a new IP address. If I reboot, I get a new IP address. I used to
be able to reboot and come up with the same IP address. The lease times
on my DHCP lease are 4 hours as defined by my ISP (Roadrunner).
I understand that it is supposed to be reading the /etc/dhcp/*.info and
*.cache to determine the old address to attempt to grab it again. It
doesn't look like it's doing that, though it is updating these files
when dhcpcd runs.

when they are both set up to run one will initialize the other will say
"delay eth1 initialization" and thats all it will do.
i've tried every combination of things to get them both to work, but i must be

when i enter the wrong values for irqs etc... it will check for both cards, so
why then will it not check and be happy with correct values. it's bumming me

At least the syntax indicates whether or not foo could be altered.
The fact remains that one cannot look at
some_function (x)
in C++ and be sure that x was not modified, whereas in C you know that
the local variable x will not be affected. And yes, like many people,
I use an editor that supports tags. When reading C++ code, I do have
to look up every such function to see whether or not something like x
could be modified by the function. With C, knowing instantly that x
could not be modified is a big help to understanding code fragments.

To share your Internet connection...
1. Setup your modem to connect to your ISP.
2. Enable IP forwarding on your Linux box (use
Netconf or edit /etc/sysconfig/network)
3. Setup your clients to use your linux box as
default gateway.
4. Use Ipfwadm (or IPchains on RH 6.0)to
configure IP masqerading (See man ipfwadm).
If you want to setup dial-on-demand.. use diald.
Good luck !

It depends upon the situation. When trying to find a bug in code that
I am not familiar with, it is important to me to know what is
happening to local variables. In C++, you can never be sure about
local variables in the presence of function calls because of the
possibility of reference variables. By not having references, it is
easy to deduce some basic information by looking at code fragments,
e.g.,
s = "silly example";
n = strlen (s) - 1;
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
x += some_function (i, s[i]);
s++;
}
If the language is C, then I can be sure that this loop executes n
times (assuming no longjmp). After the loop, I know that `i' will be
`n' and `s' will be pointing at `e'. With C++, one simply cannot make
these basic observations without knowing the definition of `some_function'.

Get a text editor that will properly handle Unix text files. I replace
Windows' notepad.exe with a free text editor called Programmer's File Editor.
I've even edited passwd files and bootptabs with PFE and it doesn't trash
them. PFE also handles very large files, supports macros, and will convert
DOS/Windows text files to Unix text files.

Yes, I see this sometimes with the DS104. Traffic from the 100mbps segment
tends to swamp the 10mbps one. OTOH on a home network traffic tends to
short-term bursts and the hub seems to keep at least some of the traffic
between 100mbps machines off the 10mbps ports, so it shouldn't be too
bad for low-load use at home. You're right, though, once you start seeing
10% or more utilization over long periods, it's time to start considering
a switch.

The docs on the NetGear DS family indicate that they have an internal
intelligent bridge between the 10mbps and 100mbps segments of the hub,
which is supposed to keep unneeded traffic from crossing between segments.
I think that's close to what you're talking about.

Sorry, have no clue what those mean, but just an FYI. I think that kernels
that end with an odd number, like .5, are not stable. Try n' get a stable
one and compile it.

OK - Just finished doing this myself, so I'll contribute what I did but I
can't guarantee it'll work. Make sure you've got ipchains installed. Read
the info on ipchains, what it is, how to use it etc. Here's my config:
Linux IP: 192.168.0.99
Win IP: 192.168.0.1
On the windows box, I set DNS, WINS, and Gateway to the ip of the Linux box.
Then on the linux box, with ipchains installed I typed the following lines.
(Note :> resembles the prompt, don't type that in. ;o)
:>ipchains -P forward DENY
:>ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.1/24 -j MASQ
After discovering those worked, I put those two lines into my pppon script
which dials the modem. Good luck, I hope this helped somewhat!
