Demo for NodeJS preemption bugs via node::MakeCallback.

Demo for NodeJS preemption bugs via node::MakeCallback.

Usage:

  • node 0.12.0 should be on your PATH
  • grab all the files from this gist into the same directory
  • node-gyp rebuild to compile preemptor.cc into build/Release/preemptor.node
  • node demo to run the demo

For me, the demo output is

In NodeJS 0.10 (V8 3.14), V8 Error.stack getter replaces itself on the first call. In NodeJS 0.10 (V8 3.28), it does not. How to tell if it's already been called?

This is my new mandatory sequence after upgrading OS X, since I prioritize my laptop waking up the second I open it higher than month-long standby, and this is apparently contrary to Apple's priorities since every OS X upgrade seems to nerf my settings back to the defaults: http://blog.metamatt.com/blog/2013/03/20/apple-is-getting-really-aggress…

Calculate odds of single Risk battle
#! /usr/bin/env python3
#
# Purpose: calculate the odds
# usage: risk_dice.py [ number of attacking armies ] [ number of defending armies ]
# eg: risk_dice.py 3 2
#
# I first tried looking this up to see what others had found: https://www.google.com/search?q=risk+dice+odds
# The first 3 Google results have answers which disagree substantially:
# 1) https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/2h224y/comment/ckottiv/ has an analytic approach
# which doesn't seem to apply the actual game rules
