• Why do pthreads’ condition variable functions require a mutex?

  - by elliottcable

  I’m reading up on pthread.h; the condition variable related functions (like pthread_cond_wait(3)) require a mutex as an argument. Why? As far as I can tell, I’m going to be creating a mutex just to use as that argument? What is that mutex supposed to do?

  - by Farhan

  My project was originally set to Binary Compatibility, but it was not building. So I first set it to No Compatibility, it built fine that way. Then I set it back to Binary Compatibility, and overwrote over the previously generated file, it worked fine. Why does this have to happen?

  - by Zack Peterson

  I'm using some Images in my WPF applcation. XAML: <Image Name="ImageOrderedList" Source="images/OrderedList.png" ToolTip="Ordered List" Margin="0,0,5,5" Width="20" Height="20" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" MouseUp="Image_MouseUp" MouseEnter="Image_MouseEnter" MouseLeave="Image_MouseLeave" /> But, they appear fuzzy: Here's a zoomed-in, side-by-side comparison. An original is on the left: Why doesn't that SnapsToDevicePixels="True" line prevent this problem?

• What is casper rw loop file and why do I need it to make saving persistant on usb flash drive?

  - by l245c4l

  Suppose I've installed linux on my flash drive. Why do I need something like casper loop file to make saving persistant? So files are being erased? Isn't flash drive the same as actual hard drive? I'm linux noob so be patient. Or it is because linux on flash drive is actually live cd on flash drive? Can it be installed just like it is installed on hard drive? Thanks in advance

• Why does 7zip Ignore my InstallPath when making a SFX installer?

  - by Ben

  Currently, I am making a SFX with 7zip using the following config: ;!@Install@!UTF-8! InstallPath="C:\\test" GUIMode="2" RunProgram="7z465.exe" ;!@InstallEnd@! Which is used in: copy /b "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zSD.sfx" + config.txt + ".\Release\Setup.7z" .\Release\Setup.exe When I run the resulting Setup.exe, It extracts fine and launches the 7z465.exe as well, but it is still extracting to some 7zip temp folder for the current user! Anyone have any idea why?

• Why do some websites add "Slugs" to the end of URLs?

  - by Dave Webb

  Many websites, including this one, add what are apparently called slugs - descriptive but as far as I can tell useless bits of text - to the end of URLs. For example, the URL the site gives for this question is: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/47427/why-do-some-websites-add-slugs-to-the-end-of-urls But the following URL works just as well: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/47427/ Is the point of this text just to somehow make the URL more user friendly or are there some other benefits?

• Why must we "change temporary credentials for token credentials" in OAuth?

  - by PK

  Can't the server just "upgrade" the temporary credentials to token credentials and retain the same key and secret? The client can then start doing authenticated calls right away after the recieving the callback from the server stating that the temporary credentials has been "upgraded". Of cause if the temporary credentials have not be upgrade (i.e. client doesn't wait for callback) the authenticated call fails. So the question is why make an extra call to the server after the callback to "exchange" temporary credentials for token credentials?

• Why is Perl used so extensively in Biology research?

  - by Kevin

  I work as support staff in a Biology research institute as a student, and Perl seems to be used everywhere. Not for every single project, but it seems that more than half the people here have a few Perl books in/on their office/desk. Why is Perl used so much in Biology?

• Why does Android's onItemClick want a long for row Id?

  - by HenryAdamsJr

  For a listView, when you register an OnItemClickListener, the method you specify looks like this: public abstract void onItemClick (AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) The id corresponds to the row that the user clicked on. My question is simply why is it a long and not an int? When would you use it as a long? I've been casting it to an int when I use it, so it makes me think that maybe I'm using it wrong.

• Why does my Perl/Tk button widget size vary with different xterm clients?

• Why isn't the reference counter in boost::shared_ptr volatile?

  - by Johann Gerell

  In the boost::shared_ptr destructor, this is done: if(--*pn == 0) { boost::checked_delete(px); delete pn; } where pn is a pointer to the reference counter, which is typedefed as shared_ptr::count_type -> detail::atomic_count -> long I would have expected the long to be volatile long, given threaded usage and the non-atomic 0-check-and-deletion in the shared_ptr destructor above. Why isn't it volatile?

• Why can't you access the size of a new[]'d array?

  - by Poita_

  When you allocate an array using new [], why can't you find out the size of that array from the pointer? It must be known at run time, otherwise delete [] wouldn't know how much memory to free... Unless I'm missing something?

• Why do ASP.NET applications appear to be running in a terminal server session?

  - by Heinzi

  Running the following ASPX page (IIS 6, Server 2003 R2) <%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" %> <% Response.Write("Am I running in a terminal server session: " & _ System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.TerminalServerSession) %> yields the following output: Am I running in a terminal server session: True Why? IIS is running as a service, not as a Terminal Services application... (BTW, according to Reflector, SystemInformation.TerminalServerSession is just a wrapper for GetSystemMetrics(SM_REMOTESESSION).)

• Why is Haskell used so little in the industry?

  - by bugspy.net

  It is a wonderful, very fast, mature and complete language. It exists for a very long time and has a big set of libraries. Yet, it appears not to be widely used. Why ? I suspect it is because it is pretty rough and unforgiving for beginners, and maybe because its lazy execution makes it even harder

Why is this?

• Why isn't there a good scheme/lisp on llvm?

  - by anon

  There is Gambit scheme, MIT scheme, PLT scheme, chicken scheme, bigloo, larceny, ...; then there are all the lisps. Yet, there's not (to my knowledge) a single popular scheme/lisp on LLVM, even though LLVM provides lots of nice things like: easier to generate code than x85 easy to make C ffi calls ... So why is it that there isn't a good scheme/lisp on LLVM?

• Why must named functions be in a separate file in hugs?

  - by Casebash

  In Haskell in 5 steps the factorial function is defined as follows: let fac n = if n == 0 then 1 else n * fac (n-1) But for hugs, it says that fac needs to be in fac.h. Can anyone explain why this is the case - missing the ability to define recursion seems like a massive limitation for an interpreter?
