• Run python in a separate process

  - by Bialecki

  I'm looking for a quick bash script or program that will allow me to kick off a python script in a separate process. What's the best way to do this? I know this is incredibly simple, just curious if there's a preferred way to do it.

• In C/C++ what's the simplest way to reverse the order of bits in a byte?

  - by nathan

  While there are multiple ways to reverse bit order in a byte, I'm curious as to what is the "simplest" for a developer to implement. And by reversing I mean: 1110 -> 0111 0010 -> 0100 This is similar to, but not a duplicate of this PHP question.

• What is the appropriate way to set a VB StringBuilder to an empty string?

  - by Wayne Werner

  I'm using VB's StringBuilder, and I was curious what is considered "best practice" for emptying the builder/setting it to a new string. Would it be something like this: Dim str As New System.Text.StringBuilder() str.Append("Some string to remove") str = new System.Text.StringBuilder() str.Append("Ahh, fresh new text!") or is there a "Better" way? Thanks

• Why do Windows environment variable names use a special escape character?

  - by bde

  I am curious if there is any history behind why the ^ character is used to escape the special characters <, , |, &, and ^ in environment variable names in Windows instead the '\' character that is typically used to escape special characters. Please note that I realize there may be no reason for this, but I'd be interested to hear if there is a reason.

• What are the best ways to store Graphs in persistent storage

  - by nicoslepicos

  I am wondering what the best ways to store graphs in persistent storage are, for later analysis, search, clustering, etc. I see neo4j being an option, I am curious if there are also other graph databases available. Does anyone have any insights into how larger social networks store their graph based data (or other sites that require the storage of graph like models, e.g. RDF). What about options like Cassandra, or MySQL?

• Percent of internet running Google Native Client?

  - by anon

  Anyone have numbers on how many machines / % of internet uses have Google Native Client? I'm curious about google NaCL as a platform: it seems to combine the best of the web (just a webpage, accessible on any machine) and desktop apps (OpenGL, C/C++ power). The only question is -- what percent of the world actually use it. Anyone have data on this? Thanks!

• Which features do you wish would be implemented in future .Net releases?

  - by Brian Scott

  Which features do you wish were being pencilled in for future .Net releases? I'm curious to see what other language features I'm not currently aware of.

• Unsigned Integer

  - by viswanathan

  I was curious to know what would happen if i assign a negative value to an unsigned variable. The code will look somewhat like this. unsigned int nVal = 0; nVal = -5; It didnt give me any compiler error. When i ran the nVal was having strange value. Could it be that some 2's complement value gets assigned to nVal.

• On what platform did these popular programming languages originate?

  - by speciousfool

  Perhaps you know the story of HTTP and HTML being developed on a NeXT computer. I am curious which platform served as the first home for these programming languages: Ada C C++ C# D Erlang Fortran Haskell Java Javascript Lisp Logo MATLAB ML Perl PHP Prolog Python R Ruby Scheme SQL Smalltalk I thought it might be interesting to reflect on how the machine and operating environment lead to different design decisions. Or to see if some architecture or operating system variant was particularly fruitful for programming language development. A question for the historians among us.

• Need a good way to store data in a DB from a table on a webpage that can have N columns.

  - by Abe Miessler

  Users need to be able to add a specific type of column to an otherwise static table on my web page and then save the information they enter in there to the database. I've been told that in reality they will almost never go over 5 columns but I would rather support N. The columns will all be of the same datatype. My first thought was to have an XML column with the values from all added columns in there but I was curious if anyone else had come up with a better solution. Suggestions?

• Invisible sprites still take up a lot in memory

  - by numerical25

  Just curious, if I have a sprite on the stage with the alpha set to 0 does that take up just as much memory as a sprite that is visible? I imagine it does because it draws the sprite to the stage and then it has to set the alpha to zero. It may seem like a stupid question but I just wanted to verify.

• Delay garbage collection?

  - by GeoffreyF67

  I'm using chrome (the dev version for my mac). I was looking at the timeline for my page loading and I saw that there is a 150ms delay due to some garbage collection taking place while loading the page. http://cl.ly/cce10619c698a5b276e2 It's the yellow line. I was curious if there's any way to stop this, delay it, whatever so I get the page to load faster? G-Man

• Where can I find a library that parses source code and is able to extract the scope of where your cursor is currently in the code?

  - by Anthony

  In SublimeText(2), when you press [ctrl + shift + p] (mac osx) you are shown a scope of where your caret/cursor is in the source code at the given moment e.g.: entity.name.tag.inline.any.html meta.tag.inline.any.html text.html.basic I am curious about what library or script is used to parse the document/file and create that scope string. A sidenote: Typing view.syntax_name(view.sel()[0].b) into Sublime's console will output the scope as well.

• Is it possible to use multiple languages in .NET resource files?

  - by Gabe Brown

  We’ve got an interesting requirement that we’ll want to support multiple languages at runtime since we’re a service. If a user talks to us using Japanese or English, we’ll want to respond in the appropriate language. FxCop likes us to store our strings in resource files, but I was curious to know if there was an integrated way to select resource string at runtime without having to do it manually. Bottom Line: We need to be able to support multiple languages in a single binary. :)

• Why does Go compile quickly?

  - by Evan Kroske

  I've Googled and poked around the Go website, but I can't seem to find an explanation for Go's extraordinary build times. Are they products of the language features (or lack thereof), a highly optimized compiler, or something else? I'm not trying to promote Go; I'm just curious.

• jQuery and PHP suggested answers

  - by Samir Ghobril

  Hey guys, there is a form where the user select some of his friends and I'm curious on how I can implement a list that searches simultaneously while the user is typing a friend's name and when he selects the name the name is written in the text box(jQuery). And if the user wants to select more than one friend, when I'm inserting the names in the database, how can I separate the names that are written in one input field?

• Is it good practice to use the XOR (^) operator in Java for boolean checks?

  - by Pete

  I personally like the 'exclusive or' operator when it makes sense in context of boolean checks because of its conciseness. I much prefer to write if (boolean1 ^ boolean2) { //do it } than if((boolean1 && !boolean2) || (boolean2 && !boolean1)) { //do it } but I often get confused looks (from other experienced java developers, not just the newbies), and sometimes comments about how it should only be used for bitwise operations. I'm curious as to the best practices others use around the '^' operator.

• RESTful resource not found. 404 or 204? Jersey returns 204 on null being returned from handler.

  - by jr

  If you are looking for /Resource/Id and that resource does not exist, I had always though that 404 was the appropriate response. However, when returning "null" from a Jersey handler, I get back a "204 No Content". I can likely work with either one, but am curious to others thoughts on this. To answer my own next question. To get jersey to return 404 you must throw an exception. if (a == null) throw new WebApplicationException(404);

• vagrant box add: where does .box file get downloaded to?

  - by Calvin Cheng

  What actually happens to the .box file (which according to the docs is simply a vbox image in tar form, in a particular format) after the first command vagrant box add lucid32 http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box is executed? I can't seem to find the filesystem location of lucid32.box after the download has successfully completed... I am aware it doesn't really matter as vagrant init lucid32 vagrant up vagrant ssh will get me into the vm irregardless. But I am curious where .box is located.

• What is used instead of SendMessage and PostMessage in Java to handle inter-thread communications?

  - by Kieveli

  I'm from a WinAPI / C++ background, and I'm curious as to what the Java world uses in place of a threaded message loop in a worker thread to handle communications and interactions between threads. The idea is to use a message pump in both the worker thread, and the main thread, and have them posting messages back and forth. This solution is very WinAPI / C++ centric, and probably not the preferred method of achieving this goal in Java. What is the 'Java' way to do something like this?

• Having another static method as the entry point of the java program?

  - by GK

  As we all know java program will start executing from the main method of the class. So was curious to know that is there any other way by which we can make another static method as the entry point, that is can we override this property of the JVM to start with some other method than main? many of you will ask why do you want to do this? so want to make it clear that its just a curiosity to know about. And if it is there then it might help in many ways
