  • how to get started with TopCoder to update/develop algorithm skills ?

    - by KaluSingh Gabbar
    at workplace, the work I do is hardly near to challenging and doing that I think I might be loosing the skills to look at a completely new problem and think about different ideas to solve it. A friend suggested TopCoder.com to me, but looking at the overwhelming number of problems I can not decide how to get started? what I want is to sharpen my techniques ( not particular language or framework ).

  • Anyone know a working CSS selector hack that works in recent Safari but not chrome ?

    - by user318144
    The title sums it up. I'll get this out of the way and say I am aware that css hacks are dirty ugly horrible things. Sometimes dirty problems call for dirty solutions though :) So does anyone know of a css selector hack that works for recent safari versions but is not a general webkit hack ? My site behaves properly in chrome but has a bug in safari. So if anyone knows how i can select an element to only have a certain style in safari let me know!

  • Please Describe Your Struggles with Minimizing Use of Global Variables

    - by MetaHyperBolic
    Most of the programs I write are relatively flowchartable processes, with a defined start and hoped-for end. The problems themselves can be complex but do not readily lean towards central use of objects and event-driven programming. Often, I am simply churning through great varied batches of text data to produce different text data. Only occasionally do I need to create a class: As an example, to track warnings, errors, and debugging message, I created a class (Problems) with one instantiation (myErr), which I believe to be an example of the Singleton design pattern. As a further factor, my colleagues are more old school (procedural) than I and are unacquainted with object-oriented programming, so I am loath to create things they could not puzzle through. And yet I hear, again and again, how even the Singleton design pattern is really an anti-pattern and ought to be avoided because Global Variables Are Bad. Minor functions need few arguments passed to them and have no need to know of configuration (unchanging) or program state (changing) -- I agree. However, the functions in the middle of the chain, which primarily control program flow, have a need for a large number of configuration variables and some program state variables. I believe passing a dozen or more arguments along to a function is a "solution," but hardly an attractive one. I could, of course, cram variables into a single hash/dict/associative array, but that seems like cheating. For instance, connecting to the Active Directory to make a new account, I need such configuration variables as an administrative username, password, a target OU, some default groups, a domain, etc. I would have to pass those arguments down through a variety of functions which would not even use them, merely shuffle them off down through a chain which would eventually lead to the function that actually needs them. I would at least declare the configuration variables to be constant, to protect them, but my language of choice these days (Python) provides no simple manner to do this, though recipes do exist as workarounds. Numerous Stack Overflow questions have hit on the why? of the badness and the requisite shunning, but do not often mention tips on living with this quasi-religious restriction. How have you resolved, or at least made peace with, the issue of global variables and program state? Where have you made compromises? What have your tricks been, aside from shoving around flocks of arguments to functions?

  • MSSQL. Compare columns in two tables.

    - by maxt3r
    Hi, i've recently done a migration from a really old version of some application to the current version and i faced some problems while migrating databases. I need a query that could help me to compare columns in two tables. I mean not the data in rows, i need to compare the columns itself to figure out, what changes in table structure i've missed.

  • What is the best solution for remote desktop / visual support?

    - by SchizoDuckie
    We are currently investigating different remote-desktop support solutions to help our clients if they have any problems with our software and I would like some input on the best solutions out there. We have the following needs / wishes: Cross platform Preferrably no installation on the user-end Should penetrate firewalls and not be bothered by antivirus stuff. Should leave no residu behind after support. I know of VNC, logmeinrescue.com, dameware remote control, msn remote desktop and many others, but which one is the best?

  • Default tablespace for indexes in postgres

    - by tom
    Just wondering if its possible to set a default tablespace in postgres to keep indexes. Would like the databases to live on the default tablespace for postgres, however, would like to get the indexes on a different set of disks just to keep the i/o traffic separated. It does not appear to me that it can be done without going in and doing an ALTER index TABLESPACE command, and then the index is moved and will stay there, but the databases and indexes are part of a django app, so non-django intervention can cause some problems.

  • possible to use jquery to skip to a certain part of a page, based on its div class?

    - by Brad
    I want a link that scrolls the page to the start of the <div class="content-body"> The same functionality as a: <a href="#maincontent">Skip</a>, and placing <a name="maincontent"></a> right next to <div class="content-body"> I am seeing if it is possible via jQuery, and want to know if I would run into any problems down the road using that method (besides the user having javascript disabled).

  • http handlers and modules: what's a good example of a problem they solve?

    - by jcollum
    I got this in an interview question -- the question was more about what they do, which I didn't know beyond very vague terms. But after reading about them I'm still no closer to an understanding of what problems I would solve with an HttpHandler or HttpModule. I've worked a fair amount in ASP.NET but it's been a few years -- is this a large gap in my knowledge? Something that's been replaced by more current technology?

  • Drupal User Permissions, Only Allow Specific Users to Edit Specific Pages

    - by jordanstephens
    I know I can set up a role to allow user's to only edit their own pages, then go mark the appropriate pages to be authored by the appropriate user. But then I run into multiple users per page problems. Is there any way that you can explicitly only allow a user to edit certain (perhaps multiple) pages, while accounting for overlap in the case that more than one user may be allowed to edit the same page? Thank you

  • Mathematica + GraphPlot + GraphicsGrid with EdgeLabels

    - by Paxinum
    I had some very strange problems with GraphicsGrid. The individual PraphPlot:s looks nice and ok, but the code GraphicsGrid[{{GraphPlot[{{a -> b, "ab"}, {a -> c, "7"}}]}, {GraphPlot[{{a -> b, "5"}, {a -> c, "2"}}]}}] just produces 2 big clots of garbage. If I remove the edge labels, everything works as expected. I am using Mathematica 7.0.0.

  • How to find "\r" in a conditional?

    - by Werner
    Hi, in a C++ program some string reads info from file, and in some part contains a "\r" character. I need to remove it, afte the read, in order to avoid problems. I thought about comparing strings character to character, I thought that "\r" would take two chars, but not, it is just one. how would i use a conditional ? if char[4]==`\r' ??? Thanks P.D. How would the problem be solved in C?

  • Codeplex + SVN. How good is SVN bridge?

    - by aleemb
    I avoided CodePlex because of it's lack of support for proper SVN and was dissuaded by complaints about short comings. Recently, I have been wanting to port my project from beanstalk over to codeplex because the latter is more social. What problems have you encountered and how good is the support for SVN. How good is the SVN bridge?

  • Beginner question about getting reference to cin

    - by John C
    I'm having problems wrapping my head around this. I have a function void foo(istream& input) { input = cin; } This fails (I'm assuming because cin isn't supposed to be "copyable". however, this works void foo(istream& input) { istream& baz = cin; } Is there a reason that I can get a reference to cin in baz but I cannot assign it to input? Thanks

  • Subscript text in pdf C#

    - by daft
    How do I insert a subscript charachter in a string in C#? I have nor problems appending a superscript 2 in the same string using char.ConvertFromUtf32(178);, but I struggle with finding a similar solution for the subscripted text. Actually, I'm struggling with finding ANY solution at all to this rather embarrassing issue. :)

  • Populating a Combobox inside a Gridview

    - by Nawait
    i'm having a few problems working with a gridview and a combobox inside of it. Here is the code for my ListView control: <ListView Height="139" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,158,0,0" Name="lvAppointment" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="250" MinWidth="350"> <ListView.View> <GridView> <GridViewColumn Header="Appointment" Width="120"> <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> <DataTemplate> <DatePicker SelectedDate="{Binding Path=Appointment}"/> </DataTemplate> </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> </GridViewColumn> <GridViewColumn Header="Type" Width="170"> <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> <DataTemplate> <ComboBox ???/> </DataTemplate> </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> </GridViewColumn> <GridViewColumn Header="Done" Width="50"> <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> <DataTemplate> <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding Path=Done}" IsThreeState="False"/> </DataTemplate> </GridViewColumn.CellTemplate> </GridViewColumn> </GridView> </ListView.View> I'm popluating the list from a sql ce database via c# with the following code using (SqlCeCommand sqlCeAppointment = new SqlCeCommand("SELECT appid,appointment,done,apptype.type FROM appointment INNER JOIN apptype ON appointment.refatid = apptype.atid WHERE refeventid = @eventid;", sqlCeConn)) { sqlCeAppointment.Parameters.AddWithValue("@eventid", ((cListEventItem)lvEvent.SelectedItems[0]).id); using (SqlCeDataReader sqlCeAppointmentReader = sqlCeAppointment.ExecuteReader()) { lvAppointment.Items.Clear(); while (sqlCeAppointmentReader.Read()) { lvAppointment.Items.Add(new cListAppointmentItem { id = sqlCeAppointmentReader.GetGuid(sqlCeTerminReader.GetOrdinal("appid")), Appointment = sqlCeAppointmentReader.GetDateTime(sqlCeTerminReader.GetOrdinal("appointment")), Type = sqlCeAppointmentReader.GetString(sqlCeTerminReader.GetOrdinal("type")), Done = sqlCeAppointmentReader.GetByte(sqlCeTerminReader.GetOrdinal("done")) }); } } } I can popluate the list just fine. But i want "Type" to be a combobox so the user can select the apropriate type of the appointment (its a list of appointments connected to an event). This combobox should be filled with data thats inside a table of the sql ce database (apptype). This table is not static, the users can add and delete items from this list. I have tried a few ways i found via google, but failed. I guess i'm having problems understanding how this works/should work. I hope someone can help me :( Thanks in advance

  • How to store data which contains quotes in MySQL

    - by Nitz
    In one of my forms I use the rich text editor from Yahoo!. Now i want to store the data from that textarea in a MySQL database. The user can enter anything in that textarea, e.g. many double or single quotes. How can I store that data? Normally we store by adding that data in one variable and then put that in sql, but the quotes cause problems.

  • Open SSL without SHA1

    - by Hellnar
    Is there any way to use Open SSL without any SHA1 hash functions and using one of SHA2 functions instead of it? I think firstly, I should find all the functions that call SHA1 algorithm, and I should understand why SHA1 is still used. While changing the hash function, the bits are different in SHA1 and SHA2 so it may cause some problems. It confuses me...

  • call_user_function_array() and __construct

    - by John
    I'm working on a simple framework, and I'm having a slight problem. I'd like to use call_user_function_array() to pass parameters to a function. That's fine, except the function I want to pass it to is __construct. I can't create an instance of an object with cufa(), and by instantiating an object, and then using cufa to call that instance's __construct(), I run into problems with a broken class because I'm calling the constructor twice (and one time it's called wrong.)
