Am about to do a homework, and i need to store quite a lot of information (Dictionary) in a data structure of my choice. I heard people in my classroom saying hash-tables are the way to go. How come?
Next term, I'll need to write a basic operating system for Motorola 68K processor as part of a course lab material.
Is there a Linux emulator of a basic hardware setup with that processor? So my partners and I can debug quicker on our computers instead of physically restarting the board and stuff.
Is it possible to apply test-driven development technique to OS development? Code will be mostly assembly and C. What will be the main difficulties with trying to test-drive this? Any advice on how to do it?
I'm working on a web based form builder that uses a mix of Jquery and PHP server side interaction. While the user is building the form I'm trying to determine the best method to store each of one of the form items before all the data is sent to the server. I've looked at the following methods
Javascript arrays
XML document
Send each form item to the server side to be stored in a session
Hi,
I don't see a LINQ option when picking a data source for a grid view - any ideas?
I just upgraded to Visual Web Developer 2010. I see the other options like SQL etc.
Thanks!
I am building a simple particle system and want to use a single array buffer of structs to manage my particles. That said, I can't find a C function that allows me to malloc() and free() from an arbitrary buffer. Here is some pseudocode to show my intent:
Particle* particles = (Particle*) malloc( sizeof(Particle) * numParticles );
Particle* firstParticle = <buffer_alloc>( particles );
initialize_particle( firstParticle );
// ... Some more stuff
if (firstParticle->life < 0)
<buffer_free>( firstParticle );
// @ program's end
free(particles);
Where <buffer_alloc> and <buffer_free> are functions that allocate and free memory chunks from arbitrary pointers (possibly with additional metadata such as buffer length, etc.). Do such functions exist and/or is there a better way to do this? Thank you!
I want to send the below data to default.ctp, I want to display menus in all the pages, I'm using Auth, The problem is if I'm logged in I get the Menus correctly, but if I logout, I'm getting error saying variable'$topMenu' not found.
The MenuController can be accessed only if logged in.
$this->loadModel('Menu');
$this->set('topMenu',$this->Menu->find('all'));
Any help on how to solve this?
None of the scribe examples I've seen actually mention the best way to take logs/logfiles and send them to scribe. I could configure a logrotate script that has a postrotate section that "cats" the rotated file to scribe (but then I get minutes latency at best).
The other option is to keep a "tail -f= | my_scribe_sender" and hope that the process never gets killed. However then you really can't guarantee that you're not missing/duplicating data.
We have a database setup that consists of two parts: a static structure, and dynamic additions. For each database, the dynamic can be different, and sometimes we don't have data for all the dynamic fields. Rigt now, we check for empties by looking at the total count of records in the entire table, but we want to move to a more refined method of checking for empties if possible. Is it possible to quickly check through several hundred fields and see which ones are empty and which ones are populated?
Hi all,
I've a scenario where my java program has to continuously communicate with the database table, example my java program has to get the data of my table when new rows are added to it at runtime. There should be continuous communication between my program and database.
if the table has 10 rows initially and 2 rows are added by the user, it must detect this and return the rows.
My program shouldn't use AJAX and timers.
Please Help.
I think the question is clear enough. Some of the columns in my datawarehouse table could have a relationship to a primary key. But is it good practice? It is denormalized, so it should never be deleted again (data in datawarehouse). Hope question is somewhat clear enough.
I'm searching files and returning lines that include the search text, and I'm not really sure the best way to display the information I get. Every time I get a match, I want to show, in some sort of control, the File it came from, and the whole text line. (aka streamreader.ReadLine() result). First I tried just putting it all in a read-only text box, but it doesn't have a scroll bar.
What is the best form control to help me display this data neatly?
The Core Data Programming Guide talks a lot about what not to overwrite. So the question is: What is good to overwrite?
Like I see it, I can't overwrite -init or -initWithEntity:insertIntoManagedObjectContext:
So where else would be a good overwrite point to set up some basic stuff? Or is it generally not needed to do custom initialization? Does the whole thing rely only on accessing properties which then start to do fancy things? So no custom initializations?
How to create a new data type which to can check/validate its schema when is created a new variable (of that type)?
By example, to validate if a string has 20 characters, I tried:
{{{
// Format: 2006-01-12T06:06:06Z
func date(str string) {
if len(str) != 20 {
fmt.Println("error")
}
}
var Date = date()
type Account struct {
domain string
username string
created Date
}
}}}
but it faills because Date is not a type.
What are the advantages of using C++ based Classes/Objects over using legacy C Structures for managing standard Data Structures like Linked List, Stack, Tree, Queue ..etc? Let me know if the question is not clear.
how do i write a query that returns aggregate sales data for California in the past x months.

I recently read that using flexible array members in C was poor software engineering practice. However, that statement was not backed by any argument. Is this an accepted fact?
(Flexible array members are a C feature introduced in C99 whereby one can declare the last element to be an array of unspecified size. For example: )
struct header {
size_t len;
unsigned char data[];
};
<mx:Label text="{(item1 as INewsItem).displayName}"/>
For the above code in Flex, I get this warning :
: Data binding will not be able to detect assignments to item1.
Why? How to Fix it?
Hi, is it possible to handle two data sources in the UIPickerView?
I have here a segmented control that would control the display of the picker view.
So, for example, when first segment is clicked, the picker will display person's name. Then, when second segment is clicked, picker will display place's name.
Thanks
Is there any existing Python library that can validate data in Excel format? Or what kind of keyword should I use to search such an open source project? Thanks.
I'm new in iOS development and i need simple example (project) with explained two-entity coreData with to-many relationship between A and B entities on iOS6 with storyboard interface and ARC. In storyboard should be two UITableView controllers which present entities A and B and two UIViewControllers which present adding string data from text fields
I searched in many books, sites, video lessons like "lynda.com", but i still not understand how and where i should implement two-entity coredata with one to-many relationship in code.
Can someone give me link to understandable tutorial or put the project on GitHub?
