Cannot Find FileMerge (opendiff Tool) But I Have Xcode 4.6 Installed


Answer :

FileMerge is located at within Xcode.

From the command-line:

cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/ open .

Go into that directory once it opens:

  1. Right-click on the app
  2. Choose "Make alias"
  3. Move that alias to your Applications directory

You're all set.


Strange. "XCode 4.5, where is FileMerge ?" suggests:

The FileMerge that is bundled with Xcode 4.5 doesn't work as a standalone application. I tried compressing it from the application bundle. I was able to expand it to show the FileMerge app on the desktop. But when I tried to run it I got an error saying it couldn't be opened.

Apple's developer downloads site has every version of Xcode. You could try trashing your current version of Xcode 4.5, downloading Xcode 4.5 from the developer downloads site, and see if FileMerge is there. If not, you can download Xcode 4.4 and see if that has FileMerge.

Indeed, I downloaded a fresh new install of XCode 4.5 and put my updated 4.4 to 4.5 upgraded version into the trash and I have now all the developer tools again, including FileMerge. Weird...

The other option, from that same thread:

Why not just install the Command Line Tools? That will give you the "opendiff" tool. Then, you create a little script like this one to make it useful and actually do a merge.

#!/bin/sh  # Get a hold of the last parameter. eval LAST=\${$#}  # Now run opendiff with the previous version and the current version. opendiff ${*} -merge "$LAST"

Are Regular VACUUM ANALYZE Still Recommended Under 9.1?

Answer : VACUUM is only needed on updated or deleted rows in non-temporary tables. Obviously you're doing lots of INSERTs but it's not obvious from the description that you're also doing lots of UPDATEs or DELETEs. These operations can be tracked with the pg_stat_all_tables view, specifically the n_tup_upd and n_tup_del columns. Also, even more to the point, there is a n_dead_tup column that tells, per table, how much rows need to be vacuumed. (see Monitoring statistics in the doc for functions and views related to statistics gathering). A possible strategy in your case would be to suppress the scheduled VACUUM, keeping an eye on this view and checking on which tables the n_dead_tup is going up significantly. Then apply the aggressive VACUUM to these tables only. This will be a win if there are large tables whose rows never get deleted nor updated and the aggressive VACUUM is really necessary only on smaller tables. But keep running the ANALYZE for the optimiz

Can Feynman Diagrams Be Used To Represent Any Perturbation Theory?

Answer : Diagram machinery works also for perturbation theory in classical statistical mechanics and classical field theories. Generally, various kinds of diagrams constitute a pictorial way of talking about tensor products and their contractions while hiding the multi-linear algebra from the layman. In the simplest case, vertices (or blobs) represent vectors, matrices, tensors; vertices have ingoing and/or outgoing ports; ingoing ports denote (contravariant) ro indices; outgoing ports denote (covariant) co indices; directed arcs between blobs give a pair of equal indices summed over; different base spaces ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ different arc types; symmetric tensors ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ undirected diagrams; no labels are needed for internal lines. In many cases, the directed arcs are decorated (as thin, thick, broken,wavy, curly lines), each decoration indicating the presence of a so-called propagator, a function of its label to use as a weight in the sum, which may beco
