http://www.koders.com/ not as good but almost there

You better not have posted this using mozilla derived browser. Libpr0n must be the end of the world for you.
Also, try to avoid any of these softwares.

Reading comprehension: Fail.

Try again. Hints: What did I mean with "not because I would be personally offended by the names"? What does "Unless I had strong indication otherwise" mean? Oh, and "libpr0n" is not the name of the browser, it's the name of a library it uses (and BTW a library I've never heard before). If I were deciding on using a library for my own program (to do whatever this libpr0n does), and came across "libpr0n", I'd not put too much trust in it, and probably would choose something different. Of course if I then was told that Mozilla uses it, I might reconsider my choice. And no, that library is not the end of would to me. And if you head read and understood the post you replied to, you would have known it.

Oh, and about your "list of software not to use": That software has comments (or commented-out debugging output) using the word "fuck" (apart from a few lists of "bad words"). If you don't know the difference between a comment and a program name, I feel very sorry for you. (Oh, and there are a few instances of explicit lists of bad words, for whatever purpose; you would expect "fuck" to be in there).

Well, one exception is the file "fucku.c" - but that's not a serious software anyway.

Well, this one example does look pretty copied. Sun wrote sun.security.provider.certpath.PolicyNodeImpl - notice it's fully documented, and authored by Seth Proctor and Sean Mullan. It's not part of the standard Jaa library, it's part of the JVM's private implementation, and was released later on as part of OpenJDK.

Google have exactly this same code, minus the comments in their copy of Apache Harmony, but it's not in the official Apache Harmony, at least since 2005 (Don't believe me? Run svn log -v http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/harmony | grep PolicyNodeImpl).

However, this code isn't central to Android. It's part of the test suite, it doesn't run on any phones.

On the one hand - this looks like a cut and dried infringement. On the other hand, it's a pretty trivial part of the project. Is that the best Oracle can find? If it is, then it's on a par with SCO holding up malloc.h as the "smoking gun".

I watched blind computer scientist T. V. Raman give a lecture in which he played audio Tetris at the end, although he apparently hadn't known to that point that the visual part of audio Tetris (which existed solely for the benefit of the audience) didn't actually work. This appears to be the Emacs code for audio Tetris.

Actually I was referring to Amazon's referal program where I was released back into the Amazon jungle and accepted by a pack of developers. In time I relearned their ways and mated with their women.

Lie.

No, I swear it's true. One of the developers even called me up on Monday to give me "some friendly advice to hit up a clinic" (whatever that means).

and shaven

Lie lie lie.

I'm not misleading you. Everyone else calls this time phenomenon Friday and Saturday or, if you're a PHP developer, you have to call it Satruday because when someone misspells something in software that you use you have to persist that misspelling when you speak about that topic until the end of time.

> Seriously, who ever heard of that company?

They're the guys that do the Koders.com code search engine.

Did the poster add comments to the webkit code he posted? I noticed this comment...lol, seems like it helps settle the issue. // This method uses the secret method _scrollTo on NSClipView. // It does that because it needs to know definitively whether scrolling was // done or not to help implement the "scroll parent if we are at the limit" feature. // In the presence of smooth scrolling, there's no easy way to tell if the method // did any scrolling or not with the public API. I got this from: http://www.koders.com/noncode/fidDD6DE07ED9010D40683E1F1C73DEBB67143E40B8.aspx#L293

(warning, shameless self promotion, BUT I honestly do feel like we have built a product that can help) I am a product manager at Koders (see http://www.koders.com/ for our Open Source search engine) and we have a product that has helped people in this situation before. If you installed the Pro Edition from our code search suite (http://www.koders.com/gopro/) you will be able to easily search for any code in your index. This can also be helpful when dealing with multiple repositories and has also been extremely useful to QA / Support teams that don't do full time development, but would like to take a look into the code and offer as much info as possible back to development when reporting bugs or escalating customer issues to development.

Some people are already doing this, such as koders, code fetch, codase, and snippets. Talk to them for formalizing as I'm sure they have some good input.

I have the same problem. But if you're searching for actual code, you're better off using a code search engine. Or as others have pointed out, search "ruby append operator" if you're interested in the concept.

How is this different from existing code search engines like http://www.koders.com/?
What is the USP of this new code search engine?

Koders.com lets you search by license.

Like the poster before me and as an added bonus:

Koders tends to be of use to me when I use it from time to time.

Although the idea seems nice, it still has a long way to go. The site currently only contains a few mIRC and bash scripts.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to when it's filled with code from different languages.

PS: an applet or an IDE plug-in like those from Koders would be really cool.

• Codase
  
• Koders
  
• Planet Source Code
  

Both Krugle and Koders already offered open source search services. Google isn't offering anything new.

...just look at this :

http://www.koders.com/

not to undermine the Google's work but in the meantime you may as well try this one

http://koders.com/

check out http://www.koders.com/ http://www.codefetch.com/ http://www.codase.com/ http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/ and http://swik.net/ sometime.. plenty of source code out there to learn from.

I'm amazed, even the title of this story is wrong. For browsing any tool who can display code is sufficient. Sure tools which can syntax highlight or have name reference lookup are better but the real issue is to find the source code first hand.

Whenever I search for a solution I first go to http://koders.com/ but their index seems a little limited. Still just try once looking up "wxSingleInstanceChecker". There are others like Koders.com but I've forgotten their names. Next I try to think of a most fitting statement for code and feed it to Google (e.g. "class App: public wxApp", but beware of the white space) which at least returns some hints which project might have source code available. Yet the free text search isn't very suited for searching code since it produces too much wrong results.

When I've found a project which might have fitting code I either look into their LXR if it's available or simply download the source tarbal and use a decent editor (e.g. http://freshmeat.net/projects/wyoeditor/).

It's said that none of the current CVS web tools are searchable, nor that Google is able to restrict results to CVS pages, else it would be much easier to search for source code.

O. Wyss

So, with google, how do I search for the difference between the following LaTeX commands

A friend recently asked me about Python's thread.start_new_thread. Google is perfect for finding hundreds of examples. Try this query:

filetype:py thread.start_new_thread

. The syntactical portions come up in the results, and you can copy those to your clipboard to then find the exact thing you're looking for in context in the source. A similar search on Koders, a search engine supposedly specializing in source code search, returns useless results.

Works well for me

A wider breadth of supported languages would be nice however.

That said if Krugle doesn't have the ability to filter on a per license basis, it will not be practical (or safe) for many.

http://www.koders.com/

Krugle is retarded. It's like all the bazillion other projects that get shut down because of dumbasses thinking they can use the names of existing companies. I mean the whole point of trademark law is to prevent someone else from capitalizing on your name recognition. Which is exactly what Krugle is doing.

Idiots! The company is just some startup run by moronic kids.

For example, confidential Novell code. (In case that link doesn't work, search for "StopWatch" in "C#"; there are only two results.)

Will this new site perform such wonders?

You might want to try http://www.koders.com/, you can search by license. Plus, its free.

I was going to make a smart-ass comment about it not having lame, but turns out that it does

Koders does that for some times now.

http://www.koders.com/

There is already a pretty big repository that is easily searchable:
http://www.koders.com/

Don't know, koders.com supports a lot more languages and also lets you narrow your search to specific licenses. The few extra lines of code just don't seem too do it, especially because such measures highly depend on the chosen method.

...although simpler, I think. Apache 2 comes in at a half million dollars, Tomcat weighs in at $250K.

koders

http://koders.com/

http://www.koders.com/ is what you want.

Yes - at first I thought this was going to be a search engine for source code, grepping through tons of free software. That would be a rather useful thing to have (how do I use this library? I'll just grep for an example). There is koders.com but its search engine isn't that gret - when looking through source code you need to be able to include punctuation characters and search by them.

All you really need to do is spider freshmeat.net, download the tarball of the latest release of each app, and do a massive grep whenever anyone submits a query. OK, not quite that simple. But almost - the total source code size is tiny compared to, say, a Web search engine, so you don't have to be that clever with indexing. You could do a keyword search as the first stage and then grep.

koders.com attempts to be exactly what you describe.

When I read the headline I thought Wow Google copies koders.com . But no - it's just a "look people use our great API"-advertisement page.

Okay, so this doesn't answer what he was looking for, but the title reminded me of Koders... the search engine sucks, but it's a great idea.
