• Android XML. What is the purpose of the star in the ID string?

  - by alex2k8

  In some sources I see such declarations <item android:id="@+id/menu_display_groups" android:icon="@*android:drawable/ic_menu_allfriends" android:title="@string/menu_displayGroup" /> Notice the * @*android: It seems to give access to internal resources. But would like to know for sure. Also curious, if it is safe to build application with such declarations using Android 2.2 SDK, and run it on 1.5.

• Downloading mp3 files in java on Android

  - by drozzy

  What is the best way to download an mp3 file in java (on Android sdk)? http://developer.android.com/reference/java/net/package-summary.html Should I be using sockets? If so - what kind of "Stream" reader should I use? I have also read something about "intents" - is this something that is applicable here? I am also curious as to what should one do if connection gets interrupted - can I resume the download somehow or restart it? Any tips?

• If I allocate memory in one thread in C++ can I de-allocate it in another

  - by Shane MacLaughlin

  If I allocate memory in one thread in C++ (either new or malloc) can I de-allocate it in another, or must both occur in the same thread? Ideally, I'd like to avoid this in the first place, but I'm curious to know is it legal, illegal or implementation dependent. Edit: The compilers I'm currently using include VS2003, VS2008 and Embedded C++ 4.0, targetting XP, Vista, Windows 7 and various flavours of Windows CE / PocketPC & Mobile. So basically all Microsoft but across an array of esoteric platforms.

• What is the most difficult type of software to write?

  - by Austin

  This question just really interested me, so I got curious to know what the community thinks. What do you guys think is the most difficult type of software to write? I write government software and have found it's pretty hair-pulling, but I'm sure there are far worse things out there.

• What are the limitations of assembler? (NASM)

  - by citronas

  Is there a technical limitation of what kind of programs I can write with assembler (NASM)? For now I've only seem some program that do arithmetic operations, like adding two numbers. Is it possible to write complex assembler programs, that provide a GUI, access the file system, plays sounds et cetera? I know I wouldn't write such programs, but I'm curious, if there are technical limitations on what kind of programs I can write with assembler.

• Random record in ActiveRecord

  - by astrofoo

  I'm in need of getting a random record from a table via ActiveRecord. I've followed the example from Jamis Buck from 2006. However, I've also come across another way via a Google search (can't attribute with a link due to new user restrictions): rand_id = rand(Model.count) rand_record = Model.first(:conditions => [ "id >= ?", rand_id]) I'm curious how others on here have done it or if anyone knows what way would be more efficient.

• Statements and state

  - by FredOverflow

  Is there any deeper meaning in the fact that the word "statement" starts with the word "state", or is that just a curious coincidence? Note that english is not my native language, so the answer might be obvious to you, but not me ;)

• Xcode preferences across multiple computers?

  - by Martytoof

  I run Xcode on both my laptop and desktop. I'm constantly tweaking my setup with regards to key bindings. Rather than try to get both configurations identical by hand, is there any way to create the configuration on one computer and then share it via dropbox (for example) for the other to use? Perhaps by symlinking the laptop's configuration file to one stored on dropbox? Very curious how others handle this situation.

• How does the DropBox client for Mac add badges and contextual menu items to the Finder?

  - by stepmuel

  I'm just curious if serious changes to the system were necessary to achieve this; after all, it needed my password during the setup. Also, I may use it in some projects if its not too much of a hack.

• Good examples of .NET (C#) open source projects ported to Java?

  - by JasDev

  I notice several well-known projects in java that were ported to C# .NET. Some examples: Hibernate - NHibernate JUnit -- NUnit Ant -- NAnt Lucene -- Lucene.Net, NLucene iText -- iTextSharp log4j -- log4net Quartz -- Quartz.NET I was curious about the reverse situation: what are the notable .NET projects that have been ported to the java world? I looked at the list of projects at http://csharp-source.net but didn't see any obvious ones.

• [JQuery] Is there any plug-in or library to validate a set of form elements

  - by Ricky

  Hi guys: I am a noivce at JQuery. I'm curious about if there is any plug-in or libraries to help developers validate whether any input value over a set of form elements is not entered (empty string). I can just think of using a function to achieve this feature. Any better idea? Thanks.

• Why can't I multiply a float?

  - by Dpp

  I was quite surprised why I tried to multiply a float in C (with GCC 3.2) and that it did not do as I expected.. As a sample: int main() { float nb = 3.11f; nb *= 10; printf("%f\n", nb); } Displays: 31.099998 I am curious regarding the way floats are implemented and why it produces this unexpected behavior?

• Where to wire up events?

  - by Jeffrey Cameron

  I'm using Ninject (1.5 ... soon to be 2) and I'm curious how other people use Ninject or other IoC containers to help wire up events to objects? It seems to me in my code that I'm doing it herky-jerky all over the place and would love some advice on how to clean it up a bit.

• Updating protected attributes using update_all

  - by Jack

  Since you cannot use the normal 'update' and 'update_attribute' methods from ActiveRecord to update a protected attribute, is the following the best way to update an attribute for a single user? User.update_all("admin = true","id = 1") I'm guessing this doesn't lie in the 'best practice' category, so I'm just curious if there is a more appropriate way.

• multiple validation errors showing up for single property

  - by Dave K

  i'm often getting multiple errors showing up for an individual property, when I'd like them to be prioritized, as in, if Required is satisfied, check StringLength, but if Required fails, show that message only. I'm getting inconsistent behavior here, and I'm curious as to how the framework determines this priority? has anyone else had problems with this? Thanks!

• In C# why can't a conditional operator implicitly cast to a nullable type

  - by Tim Jarvis

  I am curious as to why an implicit cast fails in... int? someValue = SomeCondition ? ResultOfSomeCalc() : null; and why I have to perform an explicit cast instead int? someValue = SomeCondition ? ResultofSomeCalc() : (int?)null; It seems to me that the compiler has all the information it need to make an implicit casting decision, no?

• Is it true that it's a bad idea to retain any managed object, anywhere?

  - by dontWatchMyProfile

  Because: Core Data owns the life cycle, and it can turn them into a fault at any time today or tomorrow. And probably it won't care much about the retainCount. So I'm curious if retaining managed objects 1) makes any sense 2) or how bad it is, and why it is bad
