Hi all,
I was curious to know how I can round a number to the nearest tenth. For instance If I had
int a = 59 / 4 /* which would be 14.75 and how can i Store the number as 15 in "a"*/
Thanks,
Dave
Has anyone played around with the architecture tools (uml diagrams, etc) in VS 2010 and if so what is your opinion? I really am liking Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect but am also curious about what is available in VS 2010. I'm not looking for responses about how much you hate Microsoft tools or love mircosoft tools, but more for answers about how useful VS2010 arc tools are for you.
This question is, as indicated, for those who use Emacs.
When you do, do you rebind the caps-lock key to CTRL, or do you use the "normal" ctrl key?
I've recently learned some Emacs commands and was using the Visual Studio 2008 emacs commands for a while, and of course I used a caps-rebind tool, but I'm curious how many other people do.
On a side note, the emacs bindings for VS are severely incomplete :(
Community wiki'ed already, folks.
What part of Apache Commons saves you the most time?
I'm curious to get together a list of these to browse and see what I don't know about, or what I should be using more often than not.
Does the original data type of the username string in a call to FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(...) make any difference with regards to security or code maintainability?
As I understand it, the cookie is encrypted and used to identify a user on each request. I'm curious whether it should affect the design of the primary key on my Users table in my database, eg. Guid vs int or a unique username string.
I was hoping someone could explain why my application when loaded uses varying amounts of RAM. I'm speaking about a compiled version that uses the exe directly. It's a pretty basic applications and there are no conditional branches in the startup of the application. Yet every time I start it up the RAM amount varies from 6MB-16MB.
I know it's on the small end of usage anyways but I'm curious of why this happens.
Hi!
I'm learning C right now and so I'm fiddling about with pointers. Is there a way to determine the word width of the CPU in C because I'm writing a small program which prints it's own stack (Because I'm curious how it is structured), so that information would come in handy. Right now I'm using an int pointer, as an integer is 4 Bytes wide and I'm using a 32-bit Intel Atom CPU.
Thanks in advance, C gurus ;o)
I am writing a custom error handling/reporting function for php file upload and I noticed that the error codes returned is one of numbers 0 to 8 except 5.
Is this a typo in the source I am using or is it really this way? And if it is so, I am curious why they have skipped number '5'.
Thanks.
I am looking for some direction on how to render a barcode from a numeric string on an iPhone? The symbology is not really important right now just curious on the basics or third party support if necessary.
Thanks in advance.
I found a post from a while ago that addresses a similar question but I think it's a bit outdated. I realize implementations of JPA tend to be more on the heavy/dense side, so if you know of any lightweight (non-JPA) ORMs I'll most certainly appreciate your input. I did see the answer about ActiveAndroid in the other post and am curious to know if anyone tried it out.
From the number of questions posted here, it's clear that people have some pretty fundemental issues when getting their heads around pointers and pointer arithmetic.
I'm curious to know why. They've never really caused me major problems (although I first learned about them back in the Neolithic). In order to write better answers to these questions, I'd like to know what people find difficult.
So, if you're struggling with pointers, or you recently were but suddenly "got it", what were the aspects of pointers that caused you problems?
My company is preparing to post some job postings for a programmer (or two) and am curious as to what experiences any of you have had with the big three job posting providers (Monster, CareerBuilder, HotJobs). Are there others out there that we don't know about that might be better? Any thoughts/insights would be appreciated!
I'm curious if anyone has done any performance comparisons with any or all of the main players in the .NET ORM space. Specifically I'm interested in comparisons between the following:
Linq to SQL
NHibernate
LLBL Gen
Entity Framework
Though it seems people don't really consider Linq to SQL a true ORM, I am still including it in this list. Some performance metrics would be nice to see.
i have this python script where i need to run 'gdal_retile.py'
but i get this an exception on this line:
if Verbose:
print(Building internam Index for %d tile(s) ..." % len(inputTiles), end=' ')
the end='' is invalid syntax just curious as to why.. and what the author probably meant to do.
I'm new to python if you haven't already guessed.
I want to replace new lines in text with coma or space but do not change the last new line.
I know of this question: How to replace new lines with tab characters - but it does produce an tab on end instead of new line.
So far I have come with:
awk 'NR>1{printf","} {printf $1} END{printf"\n"}'
Is there an easier way to do this? This is not an assignment, I am just curious want to level up my scripting.
Hi,
I'm curious what are some effects/downside of not putting an index.html file to your directories (e.g images). I know when an index file is not present to a directory, files inside that directory are no longer private and will be visible to the browsers when point (eg yoursite.com/images/). Aside from that what are some big effects to consider? and how to properly secure them.
thanks!
I've been using NSURLConnection to do a HTTP post to establish the connection. I've also implemented the didReceiveData delegagate to process incoming bytes as they become available.
As incoming data comes in via didReceiveData, I add the NSData to a data buffer and try parsing the bytesteam if enough data has come in to complete a message segment. I'm having a hard time managing the data buffer (NSMutableData object) to remove bytes that have been parsed to structs. Was curious if there's an easier way.
Thanks
i'm just curious. so i ask this particular question about SQLite. I haven't use this type of database extensively. but care to explain what is the basic different between SQLite and Mysql ?
The reason behind all of this is i just want to know whether it possible to use it to store wordpress data and act as a database ?
We have javascript files that are environment specific, and so I was thinking of going down the path of creating a generic way to read in an XML (config) file to store different environment specific settings. I was curious to know if anybody else on here does that (or if not, is there a reason why you don't)?
I am looking into internationalizing a Flex application I am working on and I am curious if there are any best practices or recommendations for doing so.
Googling for such information results in a handful of small articles and blog posts, each about doing it differently, and the advantages and disadvantages are not exactly clear.
Edited to narrow scope:
Need to support only two languages (en_CA and fr_CA)
Need to be able to switch at runtime
I need some code samples (and I also really curious about them) of Scala and Java code which show that Scala code is more simple and concise then code written in Java (of course both samples should solve the same problem).
If there is only Scala sample with comment like "this is abstract factory in Scala, in Java it will look much more cumbersome" then this is also acceptable.
Thanks!
Hi.
Scala implicits are very powerfull. I'm curious if they are a new/unique feature of Scala, or the concept already existed in other programming languages.
Thanks.
Note: I have used the tag "implicit" instead of "implicits" because it doesn't exists and I can't create new tags...
I am trying to call on a image using the JHTML class, but no image appears
I used JIMPORT to import the JHTML class. then I call on the image like so...
<?php echo JHTML::image("images/skating.png",""); ?>
But no image appears. Just curious to know what I am doing wrong.
Ok I've been curious about this for a while. In the C language where did they come up with the name atoi for converting a string to an integer? The only thing I can think of is Array To Integer for an acronym but that doesn't really make sense.
I want images that gradually "gradient" to blend in with the background color (white/transparent) as it gets to the bottom. Is there a way I can apply a CSS3 gradient or some sort of gradual transparency using CSS3 to the bottom edges of the image so it looks like its fading into the background color? I know I can make images with some photoeditor to achieve that effect, but I am curious to know if CSS3 can accomplish it.
