Eclipse not able to Update/Install new softwares.

This is one problem which I have been trying to solve for a real long time with my Eclipse 3.5 Galileo. The problem was that I was not able to connect to the network to get the repository for the plugins. For long I have been doing the manual install of the plugins but it does not always works out. Like when I wanted GWT Designer plugin, I was unable to find the .zip file for the same.

So, the solution:

1) First go to Windows->Preferences->Update/Install sites and for one of the sites click the Test Connection tab on the right.

2)If it takes long and does not connect to the repos site, that means there is something wrong with your eclipse setting or the the test site. Here, we assume that there is something wrong with your eclipse settings and try to retify it.

3)There must be a proxy server which your company must be enabling, so u need to give proxy data with Manual mode in Windows->Preferences->General->Network. Give it for all 3, HTTP,HTTPS and SOCK.

4)Again, go to step 2 and try it. If it still does not work then in Step 3 just clear the SOCK proxy details. Because your company might not be enabling a SOCL proxy and eclipse first check for SOCK and then HTTP.

5)Again try Step 2 and it should be working.. Congrats!!!!

4)Again repeat

Breaking open https://web.whatsapp.com/

Today whatsapp have launched an online/web version of their overly popular smartphone messaging app. I was very much interested in seeing the architecture of this app because as far as i knew, they never stored messages on their server but all the data was only stored in users phone. So I started to look under the hood of the webapp and what I saw was a beauty. First let me list down the frameworks they have used in creating this app: React .js : A JAVASCRIPT LIBRARY FOR BUILDING USER INTERFACES from Facebook. Underscore.js  : Unerscore is a JavaScript library that provides a whole mess of useful functional programming helpers without extending any built-in objects. It’s the answer to the question: “If I sit down in front of a blank HTML page, and want to start being productive immediately, what do I need?” … and the tie to go along with jQuery's tux and Backbone's suspenders. Velocity.js : Velocity is an animation engine with the same API as jQuery's $.animate(...

Problems with mysql.sock

Sometimes while working on Linux, mysql.sock may get deleted by mistake due to some softwares.. in such cases any access to mysql wont be possible as the sock file defines the socket connection for mysql. It will give an error of the following type: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) In such cases follow these steps to reconfigure mysql: Delete the log files with the names: ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1 and ibdata1 in the /var/lib/mysql directory Then type: "mysqld_safe --user=mysql &" This will automatically create mysql.sock file and even the new logs files. This is a very simple solution which I used recently and decided to share with you people.
