I want to record audio using the iphone (< 2 minutes) and save it to a file.
I looked at SpeakHere, but it confuses me. Which classes do I use? What delegate methods do I create?
Thanks!
Hello
I have a loop created with each, check this example:
$('.foo').each(function(i){
//do stuff
});
Is there any possibility to run a functions when this loop has ended? Couldn't find it on docs or Google.
I can make it work without this kind of solution, but it's always good to search for and use the simpliest methods.

I'd like to create a shopping cart price rule that gives a user 10% off their order when and if they complete a process on my Magento site.
There's a method here that inserts the rule directly to the database. That's a bit invasive for my tastes.
How would I go about this using Magento methods?
Can i use Apache Tomcat to behave like a proxy server? I know there are other methods also, to create a proxy server [ using HTTP/Socks-5 , using google app engine, blah blah ]
The answer can be simply, No . or if it is possible to create a proxy server using Tomcat then please let us know.
There are so many methods out there and it's a bit confusing but what's the best way to change the default grid columns in the Magento 1.4 product catalog?
Thanks
I am reluctant to say I can't figure this out, but I can't figure this out. I've googled and searched Stack Overflow, and come up empty.
The abstract, and possibly overly vague form of the question is, how can I use the traits-pattern to instantiate non-virtual member functions? The question came up while modernizing a set of multivariate function optimizers that I wrote more than 10 years ago.
The optimizers all operate by selecting a straight-line path through the parameter space away from the current best point (the "update"), then finding a better point on that line (the "line search"), then testing for the "done" condition, and if not done, iterating.
There are different methods for doing the update, the line-search, and conceivably for the done test, and other things. Mix and match. Different update formulae require different state-variable data. For example, the LMQN update requires a vector, and the BFGS update requires a matrix. If evaluating gradients is cheap, the line-search should do so. If not, it should use function evaluations only. Some methods require more accurate line-searches than others. Those are just some examples.
The original version instantiates several of the combinations by means of virtual functions. Some traits are selected by setting mode bits that are tested at runtime. Yuck. It would be trivial to define the traits with #define's and the member functions with #ifdef's and macros. But that's so twenty years ago. It bugs me that I cannot figure out a whiz-bang modern way.
If there were only one trait that varied, I could use the curiously recurring template pattern. But I see no way to extend that to arbitrary combinations of traits.
I tried doing it using boost::enable_if, etc.. The specialized state information was easy. I managed to get the functions done, but only by resorting to non-friend external functions that have the this-pointer as a parameter. I never even figured out how to make the functions friends, much less member functions. The compiler (VC++ 2008) always complained that things didn't match. I would yell, "SFINAE, you moron!" but the moron is probably me.
Perhaps tag-dispatch is the key. I haven't gotten very deeply into that.
Surely it's possible, right? If so, what is best practice?
I am writing a program in Python, and want to get it to make the OS open the current working directory, making for instance Windows open explorer.exe and navigating to the wanted directory. Any ideas on how to do this?
The directory is already given by os.getcwd.
Cross platform methods preferred :)
Today I had an epiphany, and it was that I was doing everything wrong. Some history: I inherited a C# application, which was really just a collection of static methods, a completely procedural mess of C# code. I refactored this the best I knew at the time, bringing in lots of post-college OOP knowledge. To make a long story short, many of the entities in code have turned out to be Singletons.
Today I realized I needed 3 new classes, which would each follow the same Singleton pattern to match the rest of the software. If I keep tumbling down this slippery slope, eventually every class in my application will be Singleton, which will really be no logically different from the original group of static methods.
I need help on rethinking this. I know about Dependency Injection, and that would generally be the strategy to use in breaking the Singleton curse. However, I have a few specific questions related to this refactoring, and all about best practices for doing so.
How acceptable is the use of static variables to encapsulate configuration information? I have a brain block on using static, and I think it is due to an early OO class in college where the professor said static was bad. But, should I have to reconfigure the class every time I access it? When accessing hardware, is it ok to leave a static pointer to the addresses and variables needed, or should I continually perform Open() and Close() operations?
Right now I have a single method acting as the controller. Specifically, I continually poll several external instruments (via hardware drivers) for data. Should this type of controller be the way to go, or should I spawn separate threads for each instrument at the program's startup? If the latter, how do I make this object oriented? Should I create classes called InstrumentAListener and InstrumentBListener? Or is there some standard way to approach this?
Is there a better way to do global configuration? Right now I simply have Configuration.Instance.Foo sprinkled liberally throughout the code. Almost every class uses it, so perhaps keeping it as a Singleton makes sense. Any thoughts?
A lot of my classes are things like SerialPortWriter or DataFileWriter, which must sit around waiting for this data to stream in. Since they are active the entire time, how should I arrange these in order to listen for the events generated when data comes in?
Any other resources, books, or comments about how to get away from Singletons and other pattern overuse would be helpful.
In MSDN documentation, many .NET classes methods (like ArrayList ) mentioned that "Supported by the .NET Compact Framework".
How internally it has been modified so that it has been supported by .NET compact Framework? I assumed all the .NET Base class library can be used on .NET compact Framework.
If a variable is at class level (ie, private MyDataAccessClass _dataAccess;, can it be used as part of a using statement within the methods of that class to dispose of it correctly?
Is it wise to use this method, or is it better to always declare a new variable with a using statement (ie, using (MyDataAccessClass dataAccess = new MyDataAccessClass()) instead of using (_dataAccess = new MyDataAccessClass()))?
I should start by saying I'm not now, nor do I have any delusions I'll ever be a professional programmer so most of my skills have been learned from experience very much as a hobby.
I learned PHP as it seemed a good simple introduction in certain areas and it allowed me to design simple web applications.
When I learned about objects, classes etc the tutor's basic examnples covered the idea that as a rule of thumb each database table should have its own class. While that worked well for the photo gallery project we wrote, as it had very simple mysql queries, it's not working so well now my projects are getting more complex. If I require data from two separate tables which require a table join I've instead been ignoring the class altogether and handling it on a case by case basis, OR, even worse been combining some of the data into the class and the rest as a separate entity and doing two queries, which to me seems inefficient.
As an example, when viewing content on a forum I wrote, if you view a thread, I retrieve data from the threads table, the posts table and the user table. The queries from the user and posts table are retrieved via a join and not instantiated as an object, whereas the thread data is called using my Threads class.
So how do I get from my current state of affairs to something a little less 'stupid', for want of a better word. Right now I have a DB class that deals with connection and escaping values etc, a parent db query class that deals with the common queries and methods, and all of the other classes (Thread, Upload, Session, Photo and ones thats aren't used Post, User etc ) are children of that.
Do I make a big posts class that has the relevant extra attributes that I retrieve from the users (and potentially threads) table?
Do I have separate classes that populate each of their relevant attributes with a single query? If so how do I do that?
Because of the way my classes are written, based on what I was taught, my db update row method, or insert method both just take the attributes as an array and update all of that, if I have extra attributes from other db tables in each class then how do I rewrite those methods as obbiously updating automatically like that would result in errors?
In short I think my understanding is limited right now and I'd like some pointers when it comes to the fundamentals of how to write more complex classes.
Is there any way to programmatically determine if an .xls contains macros, without actually opening it in Excel?
Also are there any methods to examine which certificate (including timestamp cert) these macros are signed with? Again without using Excel.
I'm wondering in particular if there are any strings that always show up in the raw data of an Excel file when macros are present.
I have a class name xxxx and a resource whichthe class read from it to set some string. Everything is fine and nothing goes wrong.
The problem is that I have some Constant Global String which I set them in global area like
public partial class ExampleDocument : ClassBase
{
const string TheProblem = "I can not read this string from resources cause here Methods do not work";
#region Method
...
#endregion
}
The question is, How to read this strings frrom Rersource File.
I am designing a desktop application in C#, which needs to be connected to my online mysql database. I tried to give access in control panel a "%" which means from any IP, but it is not working. May be the hosting provider (bigrock) not allowing that.
Alternatively, I am trying to write some code in online on PHP which will get the "sql" as parameter and returns the output as JSON format using json_encode.
Is there any alternate methods which is better approach.
List (and List) instances can be readonly, seeing ReadOnly property; methods throws exceptions in the case the collection have the property ReadOnly property.
How can I create readonly List instances? What are the main uses?
Python: How to get the caller's method name in the called method?
Assume I have 2 methods:
def method1(self):
...
a = A.method2()
def method2(self):
...
If I don't want to do any change for method1, how to get the name of the caller (in this example, the name is method1) in method2?
Hi,
I am trying to construct a graph using cocoa.To display the points on x -axis and y- axis i used methods called drawATPoint and drawinRect which allows to draw apoint inside rect not out side .
So please mention if there is any solution to display the points.I am using the following code.
NSTextStorage *textStorage = [[NsTextStorage alloc]initWithString:@"0.0"];
[textStorage drawAtPoint:NSMakePoint(0,0)];
When debugging in Visual Studio and you want to step into a procedure for example, but you dont want to step into the parameter methods.
Is there a way to do this?
var a = StepIntoSomething(getSomeValueDontStepIn(1),getSomeValueDontStepIn(2));
Hi,
What is the difference between PrintStream and PrintWriter? They have much methods in common. I always mix up this classes because of that reason. And I think we can use them for exactly the same. But there has to be a difference. Otherwise there was only one class.
I first searched on StackOverflow, but not yet this question.
Thanks
Hello everyone,
I would like to achieve the following: all the workflows created should have the same structure (validation, execution, save results), and all the developers should implement those three stages (maybe leaving it empty). Similar to inheritance with abstract methods.
Any ideas?
hi all,
is it possible to write database methods in properties file, like some database queries and can be accessed using servlets which may reduce the code?
please any body help
Hi,
I am working on an iphone application in which I am consuming a webservice.
So i am parsing the XML file data. any idea about how to parse self closing tag
like: State/ and how to read data of self tag like: Contact Email="[email protected]" Name="PhD" Phone="123-521-3388" Source="location"/
I am parsing xml file using NSXMLPARSER class methods and library
Thanks,
Typical scenario: a class that a lot of people have worked on. I'd like to sort methods, properties, etc... in alphabetical order.
I'd like to be able to do this within the region or globally in the class.
I see the feature in Resharper to do it, but it does not seem to do anything.
