• 404 header - HTTP 1.0 or 1.1?

  - by keithjgrant

  So why does almost every example I can find (including this question form about a year ago) say that a 404 header should be HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found when we've really been using HTTP 1.1 for over a decade? Is there any reason not to send HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found instead? (Not that it matters all that much... I'm mostly just curious.)

• R: getting "inside" environments

  - by Mike Dewar

  Given an environment object e: > e <environment: 0x10f0a6e98> > class(e) [1] "environment" How do you access the variables inside the environment? Just in case you're curious, I have found myself with this environment object. I didn't make it, a package in Bioconductor made it. You can make it, too, using these commands: library('GEOquery') eset <- getGEO("GSE4142")[[1]] e <- assayData(eset)

• 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.

• Other ternary operators besides ternary conditional (?:)

  - by Malcolm

  The "ternary operator" expression is now almost equivalent to the ternary conditional operator: condition ? trueExpression : falseExpression; However, "ternary operator" only means that it takes three arguments. I'm just curious, are there any languages with any other built-in ternary operators besides conditional operator and which ones?

• 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.

• 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.

• Is there any non-web application of JavaScript?

  As far as I know, JavaScript is a general purpose language but mostly it is used for Web Applications. I am curious to know whether anyone is using JavaScript for non-Web apps. Also, are there any tools available for non-Web application development?

• 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.

• 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.

• [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?

• 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 ;)

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Find all files in iphone project

  - by rayjohannessen

  I'm curious if there's a way to search for files in the iPhone's directory ( the location is irrelevant). I am wanting to load in addresses from text files. The thing is additional files may be added and I want to dynamically be able to find the files and load in the data without hardcoding the file names to load in. Thanks a bunch!

• Has anyone gotten VB highlighting to work in Emacs23?

  - by akoumjian

  I have found and installed the visual basic mode for emacs. It seems to be loading on emacs startup and the VB mode loads when I open a *.bas file. The code is not highlighted at all, however. I'm using Emacs23, tried it with 21 and saw no difference. Background for the curious: I am rewriting a set of codes from VB to Python. The syntax highlighting will make it much easier for me to see what's going on.

• 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?
