• Matching First Alphanumeric Character skipping (The |An? )

  - by TheLizardKing

  I have a list of artists, albums and tracks that I want to sort using the first letter of their respective name. The issue arrives when I want to ignore "The ", "A ", "An " and other various non-alphanumeric characters (Talking to you "Weird Al" Yankovic and [dialog]). Django has a nice start '^(An?|The) +' but I want to ignore those and a few others of my choice. I am doing this in Django, using a MySQL db with utf8_bin collation. EDIT Well my fault for not mentioning this but the database I am accessing is pretty much ready only. It's created and maintained by Amarok and I can't alter it without a whole mess of issues. That being said the artist table has The Chemical Brothers listed as The Chemical Brothers so I think I am stuck here. It probably will be slow but that's not so much of a concern for me as it's a personal project.

• C# Socket Server

  - by Snoopy

  In .NET 3.5 a new socket classes was released: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb968780.aspx i found a sample but some questions regarding best practicses are remaining: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/nclsamples/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Socket%20Performance m_numConnections (the maximum number of connections the sample is designed to handle simultaneously) is probably equal to the amount of cpu cores i have. m_receiveBufferSize is the size for one packet? like 8kb? how should i handle a length byte? opsToPreAlloc i dont understand. is this if i code a transparent proxy? Regarding the multithreading, what should be used? The reactive extension seem to be a good choice. Has anyone tried this in a real world project? Are there better options? I had bad experiences with the .NET thread pool in the past.

• What the performance of Festival TTS vs FreeTTS on windows platforms?

  - by Steel Plume

  9 hours ago I had the wonderful idea to build up from scratch Festival TTS on Windows. In the meanwhile, and in less than 30 minutes, I build up the same source code on Linux, but only because tons of development tools were already installed :D Also this morning I downloaded FreeTTS. I started a simple testing project in less of 10 minutes, thanks to the Java power :D. Unfortunately FreeTTS does not provide immediate support for international mbrola languages, so this morning I thinked "it needs too much work"... Backing to Festival TTS on Windows, after many obstacles, and tons of wrong downloads, CYGWIN before, then "make" and other exotic C++ tools "forgotten" in the installation of CYGWIN, then Visual Studio 2008, then Windows Platform SDK 2008, but it lacks of System.h, so just now I am downloading Windows Server Platform SDK 2003, etc... So now, as I am yet here without having compiled a single line of damned C-- code, my question is: at least Festival TTS is a good choice on Windows for Java development?

• plugin instancing

  - by Hailwood

  Hi guys, I am making a jquery tagging plugin. I have an issue that, When there is multiple instances of the plugin on the page, if you click on any <ul> that the plugin has been called on it will put focus on the <input /> in the last <ul> that the plugin has been called on. Why is this any how can I fix it. $.widget("ui.tagit", { // default options options: { tagSource: [], triggerKeys: ['enter', 'space', 'comma', 'tab'], initialTags: [], minLength: 1 }, //private variables _vars: { lastKey: null, element: null, input: null, tags: [] }, _keys: { backspace: 8, enter: 13, space: 32, comma: 44, tab: 9 }, //initialization function _create: function() { var instance = this; //store reference to the ul this._vars.element = this.element; //add class "tagit" for theming this._vars.element.addClass("tagit"); //add any initial tags added through html to the array this._vars.element.children('li').each(function() { instance.options.initialTags.push($(this).text()); }); //add the html input this._vars.element.html('<li class="tagit-new"><input class="tagit-input" type="text" /></li>'); this._vars.input = this._vars.element.find(".tagit-input"); //setup click handler $(this._vars.element).click(function(e) { if (e.target.tagName == 'A') { // Removes a tag when the little 'x' is clicked. $(e.target).parent().remove(); instance._popTag(); } else { instance._vars.input.focus(); } }); //setup autcomplete handler this.options.appendTo = this._vars.element; this.options.source = this.options.tagSource; this.options.select = function(event, ui) { instance._addTag(ui.item.value); return false; } this._vars.input.autocomplete(this.options); //setup keydown handler this._vars.input.keydown(function(e) { var lastLi = instance._vars.element.children(".tagit-choice:last"); if (e.which == instance._keys.backspace) return instance._backspace(lastLi); if (instance._isInitKey(e.which)) { event.preventDefault(); if ($(this).val().length >= instance.options.minLength) instance._addTag($(this).val()); } if (lastLi.hasClass('selected')) lastLi.removeClass('selected'); instance._vars.lastKey = e.which; }); //setup blur handler this._vars.input.blur(function() { instance._addTag($(this).val()); $(this).val(''); }); //define missing trim function for strings String.prototype.trim = function() { return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ""); }; this._initialTags(); }, _popTag: function() { return this._vars.tags.pop(); } , _addTag: function(value) { this._vars.input.val(""); value = value.replace(/,+$/, ""); value = value.trim(); if (value == "" || this._exists(value)) return false; var tag = ""; tag = '<li class="tagit-choice">' + value + '<a class="tagit-close">x</a></li>'; $(tag).insertBefore(this._vars.input.parent()); this._vars.input.val(""); this._vars.tags.push(value); } , _exists: function(value) { if (this._vars.tags.length == 0 || $.inArray(value, this._vars.tags) == -1) return false; return true; } , _isInitKey : function(keyCode) { var keyName = ""; for (var key in this._keys) if (this._keys[key] == keyCode) keyName = key if ($.inArray(keyName, this.options.triggerKeys) != -1) return true; return false; } , _backspace: function(li) { if (this._vars.input.val() == "") { // When backspace is pressed, the last tag is deleted. if (this._vars.lastKey == this._keys.backspace) { this._popTag(); li.remove(); this._vars.lastKey = null; } else { li.addClass('selected'); this._vars.lastKey = this._keys.backspace; } } return true; } , _initialTags: function() { if (this.options.initialTags.length != 0) { for (var i in this.options.initialTags) if (!this._exists(this.options.initialTags[i])) this._addTag(this.options.initialTags[i]); } } , tags: function() { return this._vars.tags; } , destroy: function() { $.Widget.prototype.destroy.apply(this, arguments); // default destroy this._vars['tags'] = []; } }) ;

• Issue on passing a checkbox set to an AppEngine script through jQuery Ajax/Json

  - by Jorge

  I have a set of checkboxes with multiple choice allowed. I parse the set this way: if ($("input[name='route_day']:checked").length > 0) { $("input[name='route_day']:checked").each(function(){ if(this.value != null) route_days_hook.push(this.value); }); dataTrap.route_days = $.JSON.encode(route_days_hook); } ...and pull the whole dataTrap to an AppEngine Python script via jQuery ajax. However, the Python script just bugs. If i change dataTrap.route_days value to a string instead of the JSON encoded object, everything works fine. My question is: how can i pass a checkbox set to the script using Ajax and still be able to iterate over it on the script?

• What is the best way to have a dynamic dropdownlist in PHP and POST selected value

  - by mouthpiec

  Hi, I am writing the following in PHP: i would like to have 2 dropdownlists, where the second one is populated from a mySQL dB according to the choice made on the first dropdown list. Then I would like to use the values of the selected values of the dropdownlist to call another PHP page in which I will generate a db query. Eg: List A: Car Manufactures (honda, nissan, etc) List B: Models (accord, civic, etc) Then I will have a submit button, to POST the values in another PHP file? (I have the basics of how to perform the above without having a dynamic list, but I tried this with AJAX, but I am having problems to pass the value of the second dropdownlist) Any tips of how I can perform the above?

• Should XML be used server-side, and JSON client-side?

  - by Michel Carroll

  As a personal project, I'm making an AJAX chatroom application using XML as a server-side storage, and JSON for client-side processing. Here's how it works: AJAX Request gets sent to PHP using GET (chat messages/logins/logouts) PHP fetches/modifies the XML file on the server PHP encodes the XML into JSON, and sends back JSON response Javascript handles JSON information (chat messages/logins/logouts) I want to eventually make this a larger-scale chatroom application. Therefore, I want to make sure it's fast and efficient. Was this a bad design choice? In this case, is switching between XML and JSON ok, or is there a better way?

• How to programatically set cell.textLabel.text from a different view?

  - by Andy

  I've got a view controller, call it VC1, that's a table view. When I tap a cell in the table view, I am presented with a new view controller, call it VC2, which is a short list of choices. After making a choice, I want to dismiss VC2 and set the cell.textLabel.text property of the VC1 cell I originally tapped to the value I selected in VC2. Conceptually speaking, what is the proper way to do this? I've tried a handful of different approaches, but all of them seem wonky at best, and only one of them actually worked - although it was the most cumbersome of all, passing references to both view controllers and table view cells and all kinds of things. It just feels like I'm making a mountain out of what is probably a mole hill. This is such a common paradigm that I find it hard to believe there's not a simple method for doing it. Thanks in advance for any input you can offer.

• [PHP] Using cURL to download large XML files

  - by ndg

  I'm working with PHP and need to parse a number of fairly large XML files (50-75MB uncompressed). The issue, however, is that these XML files are stored remotely and will need to be downloaded before I can parse them. Having thought about the issue, I think using a system() call in PHP in order to initiate a cURL transfer is probably the best way to avoid timeouts and PHP memory limits. Has anyone done anything like this before? Specifically, what should I pass to cURL to download the remote file and ensure it's saved to a local folder of my choice?

• Algorithm to classify a list of products?

  - by Martin

  I have a list representing products which are more or less the same. For instance, in the list below, they are all Seagate hard drives. Seagate Hard Drive 500Go Seagate Hard Drive 120Go for laptop Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3500418AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive New and shinny 500Go hard drive from Seagate Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 Seagate FreeAgent Desk 500GB External Hard Drive Silver 7200RPM USB2.0 Retail For a human being, the hard drives 3 and 5 are the same. We could go a little bit further and suppose that the products 1, 3, 4 and 5 are the same and put in other categories the product 2 and 6. We have a huge list of products that I would like to classify. Does anybody have an idea of what would be the best algorithm to do such thing. Any suggestions? I though of a Bayesian classifier but I am not sure if it is the best choice. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

• How do I modify this download function in Python?

  - by TIMEX

  Right now, it's iffy. Gzip, images, sometimes it doesn't work. How do I modify this download function so that it can work with anything? (Regardless of gzip or any header?) How do I automatically "Detect" if it's gzip? I don't want to always pass True/False, like I do right now. def download(source_url, g = False, correct_url = True): try: socket.setdefaulttimeout(10) agents = ['Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)','Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0b; Windows NT 5.1)','Microsoft Internet Explorer/4.0b1 (Windows 95)','Opera/8.00 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en)'] ree = urllib2.Request(source_url) ree.add_header('User-Agent',random.choice(agents)) ree.add_header('Accept-encoding', 'gzip') opener = urllib2.build_opener() h = opener.open(ree).read() if g: compressedstream = StringIO(h) gzipper = gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=compressedstream) data = gzipper.read() return data else: return h except Exception, e: return ""

• Aldon and .Net Development

  - by David Stratton

  I'm looking for feedback from .Net developers who have experience with Aldon as a lifecycle management platform. We're seriously considering using Aldon for lifecycle management including source control, automated builds, etc. I know there are a lot of other options out there, but ours is primary an AS/400 shop (with AS/400 programmers outnumbering .Net developers 6 to 1), and Aldon is used already by our iSeries team. The benefit we're looking for is having one lifecycle management suite. Basically, I'm looking for opinions from people who have used Aldon and another set of tools (perhaps TFS, or a combination of SVN, Cruise Control, etc). If you've worked with both, do you have a recommendation on whether this is a good idea, or a bad idea? It's obviously a big choice, so any feedback would be helpful.

• use java-ffmpeg wrapper, or simply use java runtime to execute ffmpeg?

  - by user156153

  I'm pretty new to Java, need to write a program that listen to video conversion instructions and convert the video once an new instruction arrives (instructions is stored in Amazon SQS, but it's irrelevant to my question) I'm facing a choice, either use Java RunTime to exec 'ffmpeg' conversion (like from command line), or I can use a ffmpeg wrapper written inJava http://fmj-sf.net/ffmpeg-java/getting%5Fstarted.php I'd much prefer using Java Runtime to exec ffmpeg directly, and avoid using java-ffmpeg wrapper as I have to learn the library. so my question is are there any benefits using java-ffmpeg wrapper over exec ffmpeg directly using Runtime? I don't need ffmpeg to play videos, just convert videos Thanks

• How to change "Dynamic Web Project" default source and output folders in Eclipse?

  - by Leslie Norman

  How can I change default values of "source folders on build path" and "default output folder" in "Dynamic Web Project" wizard in Eclipse, probably in the way as we do for "Java Project" in Windows Preferences Java Build Path The purpose is: each time I create new Dynamic Web Project, the wizard should show default source and output folders of my choice. Since this option is available for Java project so I believe there should be something similar for Web Projects too but I am unable to find it. BTW I tried changing defaults of Java project but it does not effect dynamic web projects.

• wide and long table in latex

  - by Tim

  Hi, I have a wide and long table. I am not sure how to put it in my thesis. Since it is wide, sidewaystable may be the choice. Meanwhile it is also to long to fit in one page, so longtable comes into my mind. However, I cannot make sideaystable and longtable working together for one table, e.g. \begin{sidewaystable} \begin{longtable}{| c ||c| c| c |c| c|| c |c| c|c|c| } \caption{A glance of images.} \centering % table content \end{longtable} \end{sidewaystable} What shall I do? Thanks and regards!

• Registering a delegate function with an ISO C++ callback (on mono)

  - by Stick it to THE MAN

  I am thinking of wrapping ISO C++ code in C# class. The only problem so far is how to deal with the C++ callbacks. In .Net languages (C# and Vb.Net), I believe the callback equivalent. Sticking with C# for now, can anyone recommend a way that I can register the C# delegate functions with my ISO C++ code. The ISO C++ code is a notification library, and I want to be able to "push" the notifications to the mono framework (i.e. C# delegates in this case). My underlying assumption is that the mechanism/steps to implement this would be the same for the .Net languages - I'll just have to code the actual delegates in the .Net language of choice - is that assumption correct? Last but not the least, is the question of thread saftey. The underlying ISO C++ code that I am exposing to .Net (mono to be more specific), is both re-ntrant and thread safe - do I have to do anything "extra" to call .Net delegate from my ISO C++ code?

• Running rspec against multiple targets

  - by kaerast

  I've written an rspec test using Watir against a web application and it's running fine. However, I now want to be able to run this test against the web application running on different domain names. My initial thought was that I'd be able to pass a value to spec at the command line to set a variable within my script, but I can't see any easy method of doing this. So my second thought was that I might need to add an array of domains into my script and have it test all of them - but I don't always want to test every domain, and the domains are constantly changing as we add and remove sites to be tested. What are my options for allowing the choice of targets I want?

• Best Dijkstra papers to explain this quote?

  - by jemfinch

  I was enjoying "The Humble Programmer" earlier today and ran across this choice quote: Therefore, for the time being and perhaps forever, the rules of the second kind present themselves as elements of discipline required from the programmer. Some of the rules I have in mind are so clear that they can be taught and that there never needs to be an argument as to whether a given program violates them or not. Examples are the requirements that no loop should be written down without providing a proof for termination nor without stating the relation whose invariance will not be destroyed by the execution of the repeatable statement. I'm looking for which of Dijkstra's 1300+ writings best describe in further detail rules such as he was describing above.

• does a switch idiom make sense in this case?

  - by the ungoverned

  I'm writing a parser/handler for a network protocol; the protocol is predefined and I am writing an adapter, in python. In the process of decoding the incoming messages, I've been considering using the idiom I've seen suggested elsewhere for "switch" in python: use a hash table whose keys are the field you want to match on (a string in this case) and whose values are callable expressions: self.switchTab = { 'N': self.handleN, 'M': self.handleM, ... } Where self.handleN, etc., are methods on the current class. The actual switch looks like this: self.switchTab[selector]() According to some profiling I've done with cProfile (and Python 2.5.2) this is actually a little bit faster than a chain of if..elif... statements. My question is, do folks think this is a reasonable choice? I can't imagine that re-framing this in terms of objects and polymorphism would be as fast, and I think the code looks reasonably clear to a reader.
