ISO 8601 and RFC 3339 seem to be two formats that are common the web. Should I use one over the other? Is one just an extension? Do I really need to care that bad?
I keep reading about how bad Frames are. One feature I really like is how the user can drag a splitter to resize the frames. If I don't use frames, how might I go about providing the same feature?
Hi,
I'm currently setting up RHN Satellite, and all works well. I'm in the process of creating custom channels, since we have certain software which should be available for all nodes of satellite, e.g. puppet, facter, subversion, php (newer version than present in base).
I've tried to find documentation on best practices on this. How should they be set up, how to handle different arch, how to handle noarch packages. How to sync updates to dependencies when updating a custom package in a custom channel (e.g. php is updated, how to fetch all updated dependencies).
The channel management documentation from RHEL (http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Network_Satellite/5.3/Channel_Management_Guide/html/Channel_Management_Guide-Custom_Channel_and_Package_Management.html) doesn't provide me with enough information on how to solve any of theese issues.
All tips, tricks and information regarding this would be great!
I have had horrible procrastination habits since gradeschool, and now that I'm in college, I still am having a hard time beating this bad habit. I find myself easily distracted from doing real "work" and find myself wandering off doing something else that I enjoy more.
Tell me how you personally beat procrastination; or share your struggles.
Here's what I am looking to accomplish, I have a class that has an enum of some values and I want to subclass that and add more values to the enum. This is a bad example, but:
public class Digits
{
public enum Digit
{
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
}
}
public class HexDigits extends Digits
{
public enum Digit
{
A, B, C, D, E, F
}
}
so that HexDigits.Digit contains all Hex Digits. Is that possible?
I'm totally confused on this matter, some say use tables and others say it's a bad practice to make use of tables and div tags should rather be used. What is the correct way when developing sites for mobile devices .mobi
I wonder whether anyone knows some research done with the question "What is good/bad in long/short branches in version control?"
I'm specifically interested in academic researches performed in this field. My questions are:
What problems (or conflicts) long branches may produce and how to deal with them
How to split a big task onto smaller branches/sub-tasks
How to coordinate the changes in multiple short branches, related to the same code
Thanks in advance for links and suggestions!
I'm just curious, but is there a name for the process using print statements to debug your code? An example in pseudocode
x=3.2e39
print x
y = function1(x)
print y
z = function2(y)
print z
w = function3(z)
print w
Executation:
3.2e39
3.2e36
NaN
NaN
reveals some bad math in function2. If there's no standard name, what do you call it?
Does anyone know how you can turn off autocompletion on a textfield in Django?
For example, a form that I generate from my model has an input field for a credit card number. It is bad practice to leave autocompletion on. When making the form by hand, I'd add a autocomplete="off" statement, but how do you do it in Django and still retain the form validation?

Am really bad with JS. Think I am messing up on the last part where it says "This code goes in your application.js file (somewhere in $(function){ //here })"
Am I not suppose to do a link_to_function and create a function with this code that references that link?
Really lost on this one.
Many bad things happened and continue to happen (or not, who knows, anything can happen) due to undefined behavior. I understand that this was introduced to leave some wiggle-room for compilers to optimize, and maybe also to make C++ easier to port to different platforms and architectures. However the problems caused by undefined behavior seem to be too large to be justified by these arguments. What are other arguments for undefined behavior? If there are none, why does undefined behavior still exist?
I'm developing a form generator, and wondering if it would be bad mojo to store JSON in an SQL database?
I want to keep my database & tables simple, so I was going to have
`pKey, formTitle, formJSON`
on a table, and then store
{["firstName":{"required":"true","type":"text"},"lastName":{"required":"true","type":"text"}}
in formJSON. would this slow down the DB server too much to set live?
Any input is appreciated.

I'm not a server admin. So be gentle. But I was just at a conference and in one of the training classes the Instructor explained some SQL DBA best practices. One of which was to separate out Mdf,Ldf, and TempDB onto different drives to increase performance.
Now at our office we have a san. The Sys Admins created 3 san drives one for data, one for Logs, and one for TempDB.
My intuition tells me that was a wasted effort...was it?
I don't know alot of the details, but if you ask i'll try to fill in any specs needed to answer this question accurately.
We've all had good and bad managers. What's the best trait your manager can have to allow you to be effective in your role and allow you to love your job?
For me it's allowing me creative freedom to make decisions.
Hi,
I'm creating an interactive e-book for the iPad. This book will contain multiple pages that will consist of a lot of animations (frame and motion animations), transitions,... I was wondering what my development options are, should I use OpenGL, Quartz,...?
I've use UIImageView.animationImages before and found that it had really bad performance. What's the best way to draw frame based animations?
Does anybody have some good pointers to resources on this?
thanks in advance,
Thomas
I need some classes to befriend other classes in my system. Lack of this feature made me publicize some methods which shouldn't be public. The consequences of that are that members of my team implement code in a bad and ugly way which causes a mess.
Is there a way to define a friendship in php 5.3?
(I am aware of http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34044 You might want to vote there if there is no simple solution).
I'm processing bad-formated HTML pages with JTidy. I am only interested in fixing a specific set of tags, for example . Is there anyway to tell JTidy to focus on only those tags?
Is it bad idea to have static CComPtr member variables in an application.
Since we cannt control destruction of static variable and it can happen after CoUninitialze .
With iText I can use Java to open a pdf and write it. If the pdf has an owner password I can still open it but it can not be written.
Clearly the content is readable, it seems like at that point you could simply write the document to a new file. iText doesn't allow this, it throws a bad password exception. Is there a way around this?
From what I'm reading, $ is described as "applies a function to its arguments." However, it doesn't seem to work quite like (apply ...) in Lisp, because it's a binary operator, so really the only thing it looks like it does is help to avoid parentheses sometimes, like foo $ bar quux instead of foo (bar quux). Am I understanding it right? Is the latter form considered "bad style"?
I am a Integration Engineer for a software company. My development team has generated various jboss .ear applications that rely on configuration files being in the jboss/bin directory and setting the CLASSPATH externally using batch files (on Windows from an external LIB directory) rather than using jboss's internally loaded classes. Is this the right/standard way of doing things? Would some other location be better (for the config files) such as jboss/server/instancename/deploy or some other directory? Any opinons on how I can direct my development team to doing things in a best practices fashion?
What's the best approach of having multiple test environments next to production one?
We have multiple programming teams that build solutions that use Active Directory very often. We have tried different approaches, starting with their own domain controllers (in same subnet), or additional OU's in our production AD that the team gets control over and can create/delete accounts within that one OU.
We thought of possible 4 solutions:
Setting up separate OU's in ou production env.
Creating subdomains for our contoso.com domain like test.contoso.com, something.contoso.com and delegating control to the teams (would we need additional DC's or the two that we have already would be enough to hold this?
Setting up additional test domain controler that has a trust to our main domain and all teams can use the test domain controler as they please.
Setting up single domain controller for every team/project.
We're taking in consideration amount of resources needed, security (for example having multiple domain controlers with multiple passwords may lead users to use simpler passwords) and overall best practices for this scenario.
I used two different command x/w and disas at the same address 0x405130,get totally different output:
(gdb) x/w 0x405130
0x405130 <_imp__printf>: 0x77c1186a
(gdb) disas 0x405130
Dump of assembler code for function _imp__printf:
0x00405130 <_imp__printf+0>: push $0x18
0x00405132 <_imp__printf+2>: (bad)
0x00405133 <_imp__printf+3>: ja 0x405109 <_imp___iob+1>
End of assembler dump.
I don't understand why it's like this,can anyone explain it?
Hello,
I have a few questions regarding JavaScript obfuscation on client side.
First question:
What is the best tool or best three tools which ones you could suggest for this operation?
Second question:
How developers should debug such code (in example with firebug) when extreme situation appears in the production if the code is obfuscated?
P.S. - I know that it's bad practice to debug in production, but we had some emergencies and experienced sometimes such situations.
Thanks for any help!
