  • The whole point of programming is creating abstractions

    - by Damien
    Hullo, this is Damien. I am new to programming and to StackOverflow community. Our professor once said that "the whole point of programming is creating abstractions." His explanation however went right over my head. Please explain the meaning of this sentence in simple words -- something that a noob like me can understand. Thank you!

  • What are five things you hate about your favorite language?

    - by brian d foy
    There's been a cluster of Perl-hate on Stackoverflow lately, so I thought I'd bring my "Five things you hate about your favorite language" question to StackOverflow. Take your favorite language and tell me five things you hate about it. Those might be things that just annoy you, admitted design flaws, recognized performance problems, or any other category. You just have to hate it, and it has to be your favorite language. Don't compare it to another language, and don't talk about languages that you already hate. Don't talk about the things you like in your favorite language. I just want to hear the things that you hate but tolerate so you can use all of the other stuff, and I want to hear it about the language you wished other people would use. I ask this whenever someone tries to push their favorite language on me, and sometimes as an interview question. If someone can't find five things to hate about his favorite tool, he don't know it well enough to either advocate it or pull in the big dollars using it. He hasn't used it in enough different situations to fully explore it. He's advocating it as a culture or religion, which means that if I don't choose his favorite technology, I'm wrong. I don't care that much which language you use. Don't want to use a particular language? Then don't. You go through due diligence to make an informed choice and still don't use it? Fine. Sometimes the right answer is "You have a strong programming team with good practices and a lot of experience in Bar. Changing to Foo would be stupid." This is a good question for code reviews too. People who really know a codebase will have all sorts of suggestions for it, and those who don't know it so well have non-specific complaints. I ask things like "If you could start over on this project, what would you do differently?" In this fantasy land, users and programmers get to complain about anything and everything they don't like. "I want a better interface", "I want to separate the model from the view", "I'd use this module instead of this other one", "I'd rename this set of methods", or whatever they really don't like about the current situation. That's how I get a handle on how much a particular developer knows about the codebase. It's also a clue about how much of the programmer's ego is tied up in what he's telling me. Hate isn't the only dimension of figuring out how much people know, but I've found it to be a pretty good one. The things that they hate also give me a clue how well they are thinking about the subject.

  • How to skip callbacks on Mongoid Documents?

    - by jpemberthy
    My question is similar to this one http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1342761/how-to-skip-activerecord-callbacks but instead of AR I'm using Mongoid, It seems like that isn't implemented yet in the current version of Mongoid, so I'd like to know what should be an elegant solution to implement it. (if necessary).

  • Gray border when using NSBorderlessWindowMask

    - by bare_nature
    Hello, Whenever I try to create a custom window using NSBorderlessWindowMask and set an NSView (for example an NSImageView) as its contentView, I get a 1px gray border around the NSView and I don't seem to be able to get rid of it. I have followed several approaches including Apple's RoundTransparentWindow sample code as well as several suggestions on StackOverflow. I suspect the gray border is either coming from the window itself or the NSView. Have any of you experienced this problem or do you have a possible solution? Thanks

  • is multiple inheritance a compiler writers problem? - c++

    - by Dr Deo
    i have been reading about multiple inheritance http://stackoverflow.com/questions/225929/what-is-the-exact-problem-with-multiple-inheritance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_problem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_inheritance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_inheritance But since the code does not compile until the ambiguity is resolved, doesn't this make multiple inheritance a problem for compiler writers only? - how does this problem affect me in case i don't want to ever code a compiler

  • which collaborative tools do you use to communicate between team members [closed]

    - by john
    I work for a small company and would like to set up some sort of a collaborative tool so that team members can share thoughts, upload documents...something like sharepoint maybe, but not that suffisticated. Only good option I've seen so far is joomla CMS. Just want to get an opinion of the community on which tools they have used for these purposes. I know this is not programming related but I thought stackoverflow community would be good to get an opinion on this.

  • Implementing a continuous "revert-buffer" aka Textpad

    - by vedang
    One of my colleagues uses TextPad, and one feature I found really useful is the Auto-Reload. (The feature has been described in this SO quesion: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1246083/alternative-to-textpads-prompt-to-reload-file). Basically, it keeps reloading the file without any prompt from the user, which is really helpful when monitoring log files that are updated in real-time. Is there something similar available for Emacs? If not, can anyone whip up the required elisp magic?

  • How do you pronounce "Latex"?

    - by Brian
    How do you pronounce "Latex"? In university my lecturers all called it LAY-tec, but I was just listing to StackOverflow podcast #69 where Joel and Jeff call it LAH-tec. I've also heard LAY-tex (like latex rubber) but that pronunciation seems to be universally shunned but people who actually use Latex.

  • Winforms Checkbox : CheckState property Indeterminate renders differently

    - by joedotnot
    In C# environment, setting a checkbox's CheckState property to Indeterminate displays a "green square" inside the checkbox. In VB environment, this displays as a "grayed out check" (which is less intuitive, even for "dummy" users). How do i make Indeterminate state look like a "green square" in VB.NET ? Btw, i am using VS2008, Winforms 2.0. (Btw2: I tried to create two tags CheckState Indeterminate, which is more appropriate to my question, but disallowed by StackOverflow due to points!)

  • What does this Eclipse icon mean in a Merge Results view?

    - by user68759
    I just did an svn merge from a branch to a trunk in my Eclipse IDE, and in the Merge Results view, there is this following icon: I am dying to know what it means. I have searched the entire Eclipse documentation and some relevant StackOverflow questions, but couldn't find anything. The CollabNet documentation about Merge Results View explains what a Merge Results View is, but doesn't mention anything about the meanings of its icons. Does anyone know? Thanks!

  • PHP Calculating future date by adding days to a variable date

    - by OneNerd
    I was looking at this post, and it is close to what I need: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1669165/php-how-to-count-60-days-from-the-add-date However, in that post, the calculation is performed by adding 60 days to the current date. What I need to do is calculate the date based on a variable date (and not the current date). Something like this: $my_date = $some_row_from_a_database; $date_plus_10_days = ???; Anyone know how to do that? Thanks

My target is to not change the current code Links I considered: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1770442/java-custom-logger-logging-standards-or-and-best-practices http://www.slf4j.org/manual.html

    I ran into this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1552130 But applying the fix mentioned there does not work. Netbeans keeps saying the version of PHPUnit is too old and that I need at least 3.3.0, while I am using 3.3.9. Screenschots: I haven't editted anything about the files, I just downloaded the tgz, unzipped it all and put up the link.
