What does the notwithstanding keyword mean in Google Go?
For background, see http://www.libertatia.org/blog/?p=247, which was linked from Reddit | Programming.
I'm currently pursuing my BS in Computer Science and my school offers specializations based upon taking certain advanced electives. I was thinking about getting two of them since they are sort of on the way to my degree anyway. They are Software Engineering and Programming Languages and Compilers .
Would these specializations actually be useful in finding a job? Would employers even care about them?
Hey hey!
At first, I'm not into HTML and PHP programming!
A friends joomla-site was hacked by some sort of html injection, and now every php and html file has an iframe which is linked to some sort of malware page. And now i want to copy the infected files from the server to my machine and "clean" them. Is this dumb and dangerous!?
thx, alex
What is the best editor for Autohotkey with regards to syntax hightlighting, command completion (intellisense), testing etc.
I am doing a bit of Autohotkey programming, and being spoiled rotten by Visual Studio, I really miss these features - especially being new to the language/framework.
I am programming an Access 2007 (accdb, not adp) frontend at connect to a SQL Server 2005 backend. How can I call a scalar user defined function from my vba code?
This is an interview question, and should concern about efficiency. How to calculate occurrences of specified word in a large text file? I can only think of indexOf() method in most programming languages, but I don't think that the correct answer.
Just curious. How many hours can you productively program for? When you are programming a certain language can you last longer?
(Feel free to add in something like what your conditions are like and/or some tips to increase your concentration)
I just came across a new BASIC implementation for Google Android application called Simple. You can read about it here:
http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2009/07/programming-made-simple.html
Clearly, a lot of time and effort has been recently put into enabling this functionality for Android.
Should the software industry continue to encourage non-programmers into learning BASIC, or are modern languages like C#, Python, Ruby more appropriate at this time?
What should or how should I decide the best approach for coding as a smart programmer. I have just started programming last year in VB, and I keep on listening this statement. But I never could find by myself to choose the best approach for coding. When I search for a coding example on internet I find different types of approach to achieve the same target.
So help me finding the best approach.
(asp.net,vb.net)
I already have some regex logic which says to look for a div tag with class=something. However, this might occur more than once (one after another). You can't simply add square brackets around that complex regex logic already (e.g. [:some complicated regex logic already existing:]* -- so how do you do it in regex? I want to avoid having to use the programming language logic to append that regex logic after itself if I can...
Thanks
Back in 2000, I got a bunch of programming certifications from Brainbench. However, they didn't seem to be doing me any good, and they needed to be renewed every year, so I let them lapse. Recently I've been hearing more about Brainbench, and I've been wondering - do these certifications impress potential employers at all, in 2009? What has been your experience?
I know it's not a programming question but I'm in a hurry to choose a netbook like this and I haven't been able to find the minimum system requirements for an R installation (e.g. minimum RAM). I am interested in a small netbook so as to be able to use it in class. Has anybody used R in a netbook that would recommend for that use?
Just wondering what your comments are regarding the current trend as everything is moving to the web or even the cloud. The significance of an OS or desktop application is getting less attention than web application. So to those folks out there who still develop windows applications, such as WPF. Why still do it? Why not move to web programming? Silverlight instead for example...
Hi, I'd like to know how to convert a file into PDF when I'm programming in VB. Do you have the script or if there is a pre-defined function, what is it's name?
Thanks
i am reletivly new to world of programming
i have a few performance questions
1. do console apps run faster than windows based app?
2.are languages like c and pascal faster than object oriented languages like c++ and delphi?i know language speed depends more on compiler than on language itself but do compilers for prcedural languages like c and pascal produce faster code than oo ones like delphi,c++(including c++ compilers that can procuce c code)
sorry for my bad english
If it is possible to auto-format code before and after a source control commit, checkout, diff, etc. does a company really need a standard code style?
It feels like standard coding style debates that have been raging since programming began like "put the bracket on the following line" or "properly indent your (" are no longer essential.
I realize in languages where white space matters the diff will have to consider it but for languages where the style is a personal preference is there really a need to worry about it anymore?
i am using the following function to move a ball from one location to another wherever user touches the screen..right now i dont have an i-phone to test my application and i am new to i-phone application programming so i wanted to know does this event will also make the ball slide from one point to another wen user maintains the touch??
-(void) touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
UITouch *touch=[[event allTouches] anyObject];
CGPoint location=[touch locationInView:touch.view];
fball.center=location;
}
It may not be a pure programming question but I'm looking for information about enCapsa. Do you know what it is, have you ever used it? I'm reading some papers about it but I can't really see how it works and what it can be used for in an IT company (and this is what i am supposed to find out).
Hi, I am on a Mac, programming with Xcode. I have a command line application that will read/write to files in it's bundle and I was wondering how to access these files.
Thanks,

EDIT: Would it work better if I just made a folder in the user's library folder?
Hello,
I am a Computer Science student and working on a project based on Nutch search engine, I want to develop the Java algorithms to better index and search Arabic websites?. Which part of the programming code should I optimize for this purpose, any idea?
thanks in advance

Hello,
I am developing a website that has nested categories. I would like the categories to be in the url such as something like this
http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Programming/Component_Frameworks/NET/Chats_and_Forums/
as you can see in the above url the categories are in the url itself. How can I develop something like this in asp.net mvc?
If I have several OS-X Terminal.app windows open, how can I move one Terminal window to another space?
I'm happy to use any scripting or programming language to achieve this, but would prefer AppleScript or calls to standard frameworks.
(Note this is to move only one window of an application not all windows.)
I don't do windows batch programming, nor do I need to go that far down the rabbit hole.
I have directory structures as such:
dir1000000/file.txt
dir2000000_1/file.txt
dir2000000_2/file.txt
I need to select the file.txt from the path with the lexicographically greatest value, i.e. dir2000000_2/file.txt. How do I go about doing this?
I'm about to start working on a C# project. I'd like to buy VS 2010, but the only other member of the programming team is already using VS 2008. I'm concerned that having two different versions of VS in use will cause code compatibility issues. Is this a valid concern?
Does anyone have any tips for getting a good price on new/used programming-related books? I've looked at some of the more popular books (like DDD and GoF), and even used they can be pretty pricey. I'm not saying they aren't worth it, but I feel like there might be a more focused book store or exchange or something just for devs and/or IT professionals that I just don't know about.
Any tips at all would be appreciated.
