I have seen this character a number of times in CSS files but I have no idea how its used. Can anyone explain it to me and show how they are useful in making a page style easier?
I've never learned to use Vi or Emacs yet people do use them still, despite there being other editors out there that are free and useful. What is it about these two and any others like them that means they hold appeal in the face of the newer editors?
What is the new language F# is all about? Where is that going to be useful? And what is Microsoft's future plan (release road map) regarding this language?
Hello!
Is there a source, which I could use to learn some of the most used and popular practices regarding Actor-/Agent-oriented programming. My primary concern is about parallelism and distribution limited to the mentioned scheme - Actors, message passing.
Should I begin with Erlang documentation or maybe there is any kind of book that describes the most important building blocks when programming Actor-oriented?
Thank you!
(Most useful examples would be in Scala or F#)
I have an app in which the user's actions such as "minimizing a window","closing a window","clicking a button" ... has to be captured. And those Field Controls ( like buttons, close icon , minimise icon ... ) can be in any application and have to be dynamically identified

Any useful pointers are much appreciated.
Thanks,
I was learning this ORM because think this is good technology for most projects. But most employers required acquirement of ADO.NET and SQL.
This ORM not will use in high-loaded system (like popular web-sites)? In which types of projects this ORM will be useful? Are highly loaded projects using ORM?
I am interested in studying some test logs from different projects, in order to build and test an application for school. I need to analyze the parts of the code which are tested, the bugs which appeared in those parts and eventually how they were resolved.
But for this I need some repositories from different (open source) projects. Can someone please help me with ideas or links or any kind of test logs which might be useful? I really need some resources, so any help is appreciated.
Joel Spolsky repeats over and over that today, knowing a bit of anthropology can be very useful for a programer because much of what's being created is social software.
How can someone that already knows the computer science learn the anthropology needed to know how human beings works? Any books? Any recorded lectures?
I've been chatting with my colleagues the other day and heard that their coding standard explicitly forbids them to use the var keyword in C#. They had no idea why it was so and I've always found implicit declaration to be incredibly useful when coding. I've never had any problems finding out what type the variable was (you only hover over the variable in VS and you'll get the type that way).
Does anyone know why it would be a bad idea to use the var keyword in C#?
I am looking for a way to capture the user interactions with a text input control in Flash over a period of time (not a screen cast)?
For example: If the user enter some text, then delete, then enter something, I would be able to store that interaction as it happens and replay that later. Any help would be extremely useful
Thanks
I would like to use the task-list in Visual Studio but it really lacks almost any useful feature a task-list should provide. So I use Todo-List externally, to keep track of the things I need to get done. Would be nice to have it all in one place.
So does anyone know of a cool replacement Add-On for the tasklist in Visual Studio?
Thanks in advance!
How can I differentiate between two
local branches in git ?
How can I copy one local branch to another local branch ?
In general how can I perform difference operation between two local branches on my server using git. I tried looking it up online but there is not enough documentation on that or there is not clear documentation on that.
Any suggestions or links to useful material would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi i'm working in task queue concept.... First i struggled to program using task queue and i asked many doubts in stack overflow and Google app engine java.

C# has a good momentum at the moment. What are the features that you would need to have in order to switch (or return) to Java?
It would also be quite useful if people posted workarounds for these for the current Java versions, e.g. Nullables being wrapped around custom classes, to make this a much more interesting wiki.
Hi there,
Chef from Opscode seems to be really useful for configuring servers and such, but trying to follow their documentation is a little difficult. Some terms are defined after they are used, and definitions sometimes reference new terms that you haven't yet encountered.
Anyone know of any GOOD tutorials/walk-throughs for getting a good understanding of Chef, Chef-Server and Chef-Client?
I remember seeing one video presentation online, but it barely scratched the surface.

i have never seen the usecase for preincrement and postincrement in actual code.
The only place i see them most often are puzzles.
My opinion
is, it introduces more confusion rather than being useful.
is there any real use case scenario for this
can't this can be done by using +=
y = x++
y = x
x += 1
Hi, is it possible to access the InfoMessage event handler in a Linq2SQL data context? All of our code uses these messages to display useful information to the end user and since moving to Linq2SQL I cannot figure out how to show these messages. I have checked the connection object of the data context as well as the classes properties with no luck so I'm wondering if it is possible.
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to understand how Word files are rebuilt when opened by Microsoft Word, and in what format they are serialized when edits are saved and a file closed. Any information you may have would be very useful to me? Thanks
M2Crypto.X509.X509 objects have a verify(pkey) method, which provide a means of testing that a given certificate does in fact sign a specified key.
This is a good and useful thing -- except that sometimes the certificate I want to verify in this way is invalid without the use of an intermediate certificate, which this API does not appear to allow a way to specify.
Is there an alternate means of validating a certificate / private key pair which will work even when the certificate is unable to stand alone?
How do I print the indicated div (without manually disabling all other content on the page)?
I want to avoid a new preview dialog, so crating a new window with this content is not useful...
The page contains a couple of tables, one of them contains the div I want to print - the table is styled with visual styles for the web, that should not be shown in print....
I am relatively new to TCL / expect and mostly modifying existing code.
expect_before doesn't seem to do what I expect (which is fine) but I can't work out how to debug it.
I have used -d option and am now using
exp_internal -f "argh.log" 1
to create a log file, but it isn't helping me.
expect_before -info
seems useful, but I am not able to grab / display the output (I did say I was new to TCL)
I've never understood the need of #pragma once when #ifndef #define #endif always works.
I've seen the usage of #pragma comment to link with other files , but setting up the compiler settings was easier with an IDE.
What are some other usages of #pragma that is useful, but not widely known?
Given:
An asmx web service.
A 3rd party dll that contains a useful enum.
Question:
How can I expose this enum through my
web service without having to repeat
myself and re-type the enum's members
in my webservice's public class?
I know that the developer is supposed to do this himself. But seeing how we are getting cpu's with more and more cores and there are still many developers who do not use multithreading, if we have this functionality built in, it could increase performance dramatically in some scenarios.
One particular example where this could be quite useful is in image processing. I doubt that the built in GDI+ classes are multithreaded.
