• Java for a C programmer?

  - by Brian

  Hi, I have a lot of experience in C and Python, but I'd like to pick up some Java. I was curious if there was a "quick and dirty" guide tailored for people with previous CS background. I'd prefer free online resources but appreciate any suggestion. Thanks, Brian

• Distributions and hashes

  - by Don Mackenzie

  Has anyone ever had an incidence of downloading software from a genuine site, where an MD5 or SHA series hash for the download is also supplied and then discovered that the hash calculated from the downloaded artifact doesn't match the published hash? I understand the theory but am curious how prevalent the problem is. Many software publishers seem to discount the threat.

• Django: FloatField or DecimalFied for Currency ?

  - by Hellnar

  I am curious which one would be better fitting as a currency field ? I will do simple operations such as taking difference, the percentage between old and new prices. I plan to keep two digits after the zero (ie 10.50) and majority of the time if these digits are zero, I will be hiding these numbers and display it as "10"

• print_any for F# 2.0

  - by user79339

  Hi, I am upgrading an old version 1.0 F# project to 2.0 using visual studio 2010. So many changes. I can't seem to find the print_any command that was littered all over the place in the old books and samples. I have installed powerpack but can't find it there either. Any idea where i can find this command. PS: I know I can easily implement it myself but was curious where this is now.

• QWebFrame::evaluateJavaScript vs. script-tag in HTML

  - by jwg

  Hi, I want to develop an application that uses QtWebKit and JQuery. What I need to know is, is there any difference between reading JQuery from a file and evaluateJavaScript it, or embedding it as a script tag within the "page" that is displayed within the widget? If there is a difference, I am curious if anyone could explain why it would be. As far as I understood it, evaluateJavaScript() would feed the script parameter to the JavaScript interpreter, which interprets it in the current page's context. Thanks.

• why do I have to commit explicitly when doing an UPDATE

  - by Tshepang

  Here's my code: import cx_Oracle conn = cx_Oracle.connect(usr, pwd, url) cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute("UPDATE SO SET STATUS='PE' WHERE ID='100'") conn.commit() If I remove the conn.commit(), the table isn't updated. But for select statements, I don't need that conn.commit(). I'm curious why?

• differences between "d.clear()" and "d={}"

  - by Tshepang

  On my machine, the execution speed between "d.clear()" and "d={}" is over 100ns so am curious why one would use one over the other. import timeit def timing(): d = dict() if __name__=='__main__': t = timeit.Timer('timing()', 'from __main__ import timing') print t.repeat()

• Open-source: licence header on each source file of a project or a single LICENCE.txt file?

  - by systempuntoout

  If i publish an open-source project, is it enough to add a LICENCE.txt file to the package or do i need to copy and paste it on top of every project's source file? On public repository like github or google code i saw mixed things and i'm curious on how this legal aspect should be handled correctly.

  - by ctyler1

  I have a friend who wrote code for a large array with 1,048,576 maximum elements. Everything runs fine when complied using ./make but but when using just ./ we get a segmentation fault. It's obviously not too crucial of a prob to solve. Nonetheless, I am very curious about it. if anyone has seen this or has any Ideas as why...

Is it possible? Is this a job for LINQ?

• Rule of thumb for capitalizing the letters in a programming language

  - by William

  I was wondering if anyone knew why some programming languages that I see most frequently spelled in all caps (like an acronym), are also commonly written in lower case. FORTRAN, LISP, and COBOL come to mind but I'm sure there are many more. Perhaps there isn't any reason for this, but I'm curious to know if any of these changes are due to standards or decisions by their respective communities. Or are people just getting too lazy to hit the caps lock key? (I know I am)

• In C/C++ what's the simplest way to reverse the order of bits in a byte?

  - by nathan

  While there are multiple ways to reverse bit order in a byte, I'm curious as to what is the "simplest" for a developer to implement. And by reversing I mean: 1110 -> 0111 0010 -> 0100 This is similar to, but not a duplicate of this PHP question.

• Why do Windows environment variable names use a special escape character?

  - by bde

  I am curious if there is any history behind why the ^ character is used to escape the special characters <, , |, &, and ^ in environment variable names in Windows instead the '\' character that is typically used to escape special characters. Please note that I realize there may be no reason for this, but I'd be interested to hear if there is a reason.

  - by Wayne Werner

  I'm using VB's StringBuilder, and I was curious what is considered "best practice" for emptying the builder/setting it to a new string. Would it be something like this: Dim str As New System.Text.StringBuilder() str.Append("Some string to remove") str = new System.Text.StringBuilder() str.Append("Ahh, fresh new text!") or is there a "Better" way? Thanks

• What are the best ways to store Graphs in persistent storage

  - by nicoslepicos

  I am wondering what the best ways to store graphs in persistent storage are, for later analysis, search, clustering, etc. I see neo4j being an option, I am curious if there are also other graph databases available. Does anyone have any insights into how larger social networks store their graph based data (or other sites that require the storage of graph like models, e.g. RDF). What about options like Cassandra, or MySQL?

• Unsigned Integer

  - by viswanathan

  I was curious to know what would happen if i assign a negative value to an unsigned variable. The code will look somewhat like this. unsigned int nVal = 0; nVal = -5; It didnt give me any compiler error. When i ran the nVal was having strange value. Could it be that some 2's complement value gets assigned to nVal.

• Invisible sprites still take up a lot in memory

  - by numerical25

  Just curious, if I have a sprite on the stage with the alpha set to 0 does that take up just as much memory as a sprite that is visible? I imagine it does because it draws the sprite to the stage and then it has to set the alpha to zero. It may seem like a stupid question but I just wanted to verify.

• Need a good way to store data in a DB from a table on a webpage that can have N columns.

  - by Abe Miessler

  Users need to be able to add a specific type of column to an otherwise static table on my web page and then save the information they enter in there to the database. I've been told that in reality they will almost never go over 5 columns but I would rather support N. The columns will all be of the same datatype. My first thought was to have an XML column with the values from all added columns in there but I was curious if anyone else had come up with a better solution. Suggestions?

• Percent of internet running Google Native Client?

  - by anon

  Anyone have numbers on how many machines / % of internet uses have Google Native Client? I'm curious about google NaCL as a platform: it seems to combine the best of the web (just a webpage, accessible on any machine) and desktop apps (OpenGL, C/C++ power). The only question is -- what percent of the world actually use it. Anyone have data on this? Thanks!
