I am writing application which will download some files by HTTP. Up to some point I was using following code snippet to download page body: import network.HTTP simpleHTTP (getRequest "http://www.haskell.org/") >>= getResponseBody It was working fine but it could not establish connection by HTTPS protocol. So to fix this I have switched to HTTP-Conduit and now I am using following code: simpleHttp' :: Manager -> String -> IO (C.Response LBS.ByteString) simpleHttp' manager url = do request <- parseUrl url runResourceT $ httpLbs request manager It can connect to HTTPS but new frustrating problem

Given: A directed acyclic graph with weighted edges, where a node can have multiple parents. Problem: For each child of root node, find a minimum-cost(sum of weights) path from such a child to some leaf which can be reached. A node can only be present in one such min-cost paths. Example graph: In the above graph, for node 2, all the available paths are: 2 -> 5 2 -> 1 -> 9 -> 6 2 -> 1 -> 10 -> 6 Among which 2 -> 1 -> 10 -> 6 has minimum cost of 3.5 Similarly, for node 4, all the available paths are: 4 -> 11 -> 8 4 -> 7 -> 10 -> 6 Among which 4 -> 7 -> 10 -> 6 has minimum cost of 3.0 The result

What are the things you wish Ruby (and more generally the Ruby community) would improve? I read somewhere that Ruby is the love-child of Smalltalk and LISP, with Miss Perl as the Nanny. I have a lot of respect for Ruby's parents, but I'm not sure I like the influence Miss Perl had on the child. Specifically, I don't like the predefined variables: I need a cheat sheet to know what they mean. You could say "just don't use them". Well, I don't... but other people do. And when I download a plugin on the Web, I have no choice but to fetch my cheat-sheet if I ever need to go and touch the source

When I run my install from composer, I have this error : λ composer install You are running composer with xdebug enabled. This has a major impact on runtime performance.

You can garbage collect in Java simply by calling System.gc() but sometimes this "stalls" the application. Is it a bad idea to garbage collect like this and avoid stalls: new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { System.gc(); } }).start(); Or might this lead to even more problems? Yes, most times it is a very bad idea to call System.gc(). There are exceptions but they are few and it is mostly better to spend the time making sure you are not doing things that hurt performance in a GC environment and to study and make sure you understand how a gc works than to try to handle it yourself by

A project I'm working on requires serializing a data structure before shutting down and restores its state from this serialized data when it start up again. Last year, we were building for .NET 1.1, and ran into a tricky issue where our code ran on .NET 2.0 a customer upgraded with some software that somehow set 1.1 as default our code ran on .NET 1.1 and was unable to deserialize its stored state This particular issue was "resolved" by barring that particular software upgrade, and shouldn't be a problem now that we're targeting the .NET 2.0 framework (so we can't possibly run on 1.1). What is
