  • elegant way to extract values from array

    - by smoove666
    Something that bugs me for a long time: I want to convert this Array: // $article['Tags'] array(3) { [0] => array(2) { ["id"] => string(4) "1" ["tag"] => string(5) "tag1" }, [1] => array(2) { ["id"] => string(4) "2" ["tag"] => string(5) "tag2" }, [2] => array(2) { ["id"] => string(4) "3" ["tag"] => string(5) "tag3" }, } To this form: // $extractedTags[] array(3) { [0] => string(4) "tag1", [1] => string(4) "tag2", [2] => string(4) "tag3", } currently i am using this code: $extractedTags = array(); foreach ($article['Tags'] as $tags) { $extractedTags[] = $tags['tag']; } Is there any more elegant way of doing this, maybe a php built-in function?

  • Data Structure Brushup (Java)

    - by Daddy Warbox
    This should be easy for many of you, but for me it's just another bit of rust needing to be chipped away as I get back into basic Java coding. Using bloody associative arrays for so long in other languages have turned me nice and spoiled. :P My problem is simple: I'm storing a set of objects, each containing a string and a number, in a list. I would like each object inserted into this list to be sorted alphabetically by its string. I would also like to be able to retrieve objects from the list by their string as well. I would like to do this as formally and/or efficiently as possible. Is there something already available in the Java standard libraries for this?

  • What is the difference between "a is b" and "id(a) == id(b)" in Python?

    - by bp
    The id() inbuilt function gives... an integer (or long integer) which is guaranteed to be unique and constant for this object during its lifetime. The is operator, instead, gives... object identity So why is it possible to have two objects that have the same id but return False to an is check? Here is an example: >>> class Test(): ... def test(): ... pass >>> a = Test() >>> b = Test() >>> id(a.test) == id(b.test) True >>> a.test is b.test False A more troubling example: (continuing the above) >>> b = a >>> b is a True >>> b.test is a.test False >>> a.test is a.test False

  • Is it possible to have a composite index with a list property and a sort order?

    - by npdoty
    And if not, why not? The following index always fails for me, even though I had thought I could have a sort order with a list property as long as the index didn't sort or match against any other properties. - kind: Foo properties: - name: location_geocells - name: time direction: desc If such a composite index is allowed, are there any reasons that this might be failing for me? Do the existence of other indices on the same model increase the likelihood of this failure? Does the combination of a sort order with a list property require more than N entries, where N is the number of values in the list property? (If so, how many does it require?)

  • can this code be shortened or improved?

    - by user2816683
    Can this be shortened/improved? I'm trying to make a password checker in python. Could the if's be put into a for loop? And if so, how? pw = input("Enter password to test: ") caps = sum(1 for c in pw if c.isupper()) lower = sum(1 for c in pw if c.islower()) nums = sum(1 for c in pw if c.isnumeric()) scr = ['weak', 'medium', 'strong'] r = [caps, lower, nums] if len(pw) < 6: print("too short") elif len(pw) > 12: print("too long") if caps >= 1: if lower >= 1: if nums >= 1: print(scr[2]) elif nums < 1: print("your password is " + scr[1]) elif lower < 1: print("your password strength is " + scr[0]) elif caps < 1: print("your password strength is " + scr[1]) Thanks for any suggestions :D

  • dabbledb + iPhone

    - by user193545
    I have been using DabbbleDB online database for storing/retrieving values for one of my iPhone applications. I am using their JSON response for retrieving the records. The problem that I am facing is that if there are a large number of records in the database, it takes a long time to get the response from the server and then to parse the JSON response. Instead I would like to to get a set of records at a time and run a loop to fetch all the records in background. I do not know whether we can query for a set of records at a time from online databases like DabbleDB. Anybody having an idea, please help.

  • How to calculate deceleration rate of a flipping coin (in c)?

    - by Horace Ho
    A flipping coin on table will slow down and drop to the table surface, facing up or down. How can I calculate the flip-per-second declaration rate over time? For example, assuming the coin is at 10 flipping per second when it starts how long will it take to stop? For each second (9, 8, 7, 6 ... 3, 2, 1, stop), how is the flipping rate changed? Friction can be approximated as some real world objects (say, a metallic coin on a wooden table). Thanks!

  • How to make a staging table in ms sql 2005?

    - by chobo2
    Hi I heard about doing staging tables and I am wondering how you actually do it. I want to do a sqlbulk copy into a staging table. Then then update the real table. I heard in mssql 2008 that you can use something called merge but I am using ms sql 2005 so I heard I have to use a update inner join? I am not sure how that would look like(I am guessing best way would be to write it in SP). Also the staging table needs to be able to handle concurrent updates. I was thinking of putting another column in the staged as GUID so that way I know which records belong to which group and when it is time to delete the records from the staged table I can just use that. So can anyone show me any examples or tutorials on how to do it? Also how fast is this way? Say if your updating 50,000 records how long would that take(a guesstimate is fine)

  • Delete from empty table taking forver

    - by Will
    Hello, I have an empty table that previously had a large amount of rows. The table has about 10 columns and indexes on many of them, as well as indexes on multiple columns. DELETE FROM item WHERE 1=1 This takes approximately 40 seconds to complete SELECT * FROM item this takes 4 seconds. The execution plan of SELECT * FROM ITEM shows the following; SQL> select * from midas_item; no rows selected Elapsed: 00:00:04.29 Execution Plan ---------------------------------------------------------- 0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=19 Card=123 Bytes=73 80) 1 0 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'MIDAS_ITEM' (Cost=19 Card=123 Byte s=7380) Statistics ---------------------------------------------------------- 0 recursive calls 0 db block gets 5263 consistent gets 5252 physical reads 0 redo size 1030 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client 372 bytes received via SQL*Net from client 1 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client 0 sorts (memory) 0 sorts (disk) 0 rows processed any idea why these would be taking so long and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated!!

  • Slow loop in R, any suggestion to speed it up?

    - by cfceric
    I have a data frame "m" as shown below: I am trying to find each account's most active month (with most number of V1). for example for account "2", it will be "month 6", for account 3 it will be "month 1", .... I wrote the below loop, it works fine but just takes a long time even I only used 8000 rows, the whole data set has 250,000 rows, so the code below is not usable. Does any one can suggest a better way to achieve this? Thanks a lot.

  • iPhone real memory climbs when interacting with UI

    - by Scott Gress
    I've been using the Activity Monitor to check the memory usage of my iPhone apps. I've noticed that the Real Memory climbs whenever I interact with the UI in any way, even if there's no code being called. For example, I can create a brand new View-Based application and run it, and as I click or drag in the empty window the Real Memory increases even though the app isn't responding in any way. I get that the view controller is doing some stuff in the background to interpret my interactions, but it seems like the memory should go back down after a second or so. Instead, it keeps going up and up and up as long as I keep clicking or dragging. I can wait forever and it never decreases. This is a little disturbing. Am I missing something?

  • Can I play any Buffer only once at a given time?

    - by mystify
    From the OpenAL documentation: The basic OpenAL objects are a Listener, a Source, and a Buffer. There can be a large number of Buffers, which contain audio data. Each buffer can be attached to one or more Sources My problem is, that I have one sound file which I need to play multiple times per second, at the same time. The sound is 2 seconds long. So it will overlap. Would I need multiple filled buffers for this (= multiple times that sound in memory)? If I would attach one Buffer to multiple Sources, would I be able to play the sound 10 times, overlapping itself, with just one copy in memory? Or would I still have to deal with 10 copies of that sound in memory?

  • Solve Physics exercise by brute force approach..

    - by Nils
    Being unable to reproduce a given result. (either because it's wrong or because I was doing something wrong) I was asking myself if it would be easy to just write a small program which takes all the constants and given number and permutes it with a possible operators (* / - + exp(..)) etc) until the result is found. Permutations of n distinct objects with repetition allowed is n^r. At least as long as r is small I think you should be able to do this. I wonder if anybody did something similar here..

  • perforce implementation of clearcase like "views"

    - by Pradyot
    I have read through the documentation on perforce and the "branching strategy" advice as well. One thing thats left me baffled, is how a simple concern is does not seem to adequtely adressed. When I am working on a project that touches many parts of our code base , I cannot checkin my code at the end of the day without checking into the trunk. So do I need to branch in this situation? I want to be able to have the ability to have a history of my changes in a long and hard project, so I can go back when I I make a wrong turn.. The problem with branching I see is that I will be creating copies of almost the entire codebase .. Am I missing an obvious solution here? thanks

  • Requiring clients to solve computational puzzles...

    - by acidzombie24
    Not that I need it, but it was interesting to hear someone speak about their server and protecting it from DOS attack by having a puzzle that the client must solve before the server will do anything (it doesnt do allocations or make a session unless solved). The person also said puzzles can be made to take a quick amount of time or long. And they are easy to check for correct solutions but difficult to solve. What are these puzzles? I never heard of one. Can someone give an example (or a link)?

  • What is this VB6 method doing?

    - by Craig
    We are converting a VB6 application to C# (4.0). and have come across a method in VB6 that we're battling to understand. Public Sub SaveToField(fldAttach As ADODB.Field) Dim bData() As Byte Dim nSize As Long nSize = Len(m_sEmail) bData = LngToByteArray(nSize) fldAttach.AppendChunk bData If nSize > 0 Then bData = StringToByteArray(m_sEmail) fldAttach.AppendChunk bData End If nSize = Len(m_sName) bData = LngToByteArray(nSize) fldAttach.AppendChunk bData If nSize > 0 Then bData = StringToByteArray(m_sName) fldAttach.AppendChunk bData End If bData = LngToByteArray(m_nContactID) fldAttach.AppendChunk bData End Sub It seems like it's doing some binary file copy type thing, but I'm not quite understanding. Could someone explain so that we can rewrite it?

  • read after lseek always return 0

    - by Wins
    I'm having an issue reading byte in file after performing lseek long cur_position = lseek(fd, length * -1, SEEK_CUR ); // Rewind file reading by length bytes. printf("cur_position: %i\n", cur_position); int num_byte = read(fd, &byte, 1); printf("num_byte = %i\n", num_byte); With the initial variable length set to 34, the above code would produce cur_position 5 (so there are definitely at least 34 bytes after the lseek function returns), but the variable num_byte returned from function read always returns 0 even though there are still more bytes to read. Does anyone know the reason num_byte always return 0 or do I make mistake in the above code? Just for information, the above code was run on the following machine $ uname -srvpio Linux 3.2.0-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 16:52:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  • SQL Server 15MM rows, simple COUNT query. 15+ seconds?

    - by john
    We took over a website from another company after a client decided to switch. We have a table that grows by about 25k records a day, and is currently at 15MM records. The table looks something like: id (PK, int, not null) member_id (int, not null) another_id (int, not null) date (datetime, not null) SELECT COUNT(id) FROM tbl can take up to 15 seconds. A simple inner join on 'another_id' takes over 30 seconds. I can't imagine why this is taking so long. Any advice? SQL Server 2005 Express

    - by hoktar
    When a user visits my site which contains a facebook app the first time, it requires him to allow it and he gets promted to do that, then I get the code which I can convert to an access_token. So far so good. But how do I get the token once the user has already visited the site? As long as this token form the first time is active everything is fine. But how do I get another token when the user had already allowed the app a week ago and is only visiting my page again?

  • Parallel.For(): Update variable outside of loop

    - by TSS
    I'm just looking in to the new .NET 4.0 features. With that, I'm attempting a simple calculation using Parallel.For and a normal for(x;x;x) loop. However, I'm getting different results about 50% of the time. long sum = 0; Parallel.For(1, 10000, y => { sum += y; } ); Console.WriteLine(sum.ToString()); sum = 0; for (int y = 1; y < 10000; y++) { sum += y; } Console.WriteLine(sum.ToString()); My guess is that the threads are trying to update "sum" at the same time. Is there an obvious way around it?

  • How to use `wx.ProgressDialog` with my own method?

    - by user1401950
    How can I use the wx.ProgressDialog to time my method called imgSearch? The imgSearch method finds image files on the user's pc. How can I make the wx.ProgressDialog run while imgSearch is still running and display how long the imgSearch is taking? Here's my code: def onFind (self,event)# triggered by a button click max = 80 dlg = wx.ProgressDialog("Progress dialog example","An informative message",parent=self, style = wx.PD_CAN_ABORT| wx.PD_APP_MODAL| wx.PD_ELAPSED_TIME| wx.PD_REMAINING_TIME) keepGoing = True count = 0 imageExtentions = ['*.jpg', '*.jpeg', '*.png', '*.tif', '*.tiff'] selectedDir = 'C:\\' imgSearch.findImages(imageExtentions, selectedDir)# my method while keepGoing and count < max: count += 1 wx.MilliSleep(250) if count >= max / 2: (keepGoing, skip) = dlg.Update(count, "Half-time!") else: (keepGoing, skip) = dlg.Update(count) dlg.Destroy()

  • When open-sourcing a live Rails app, is it dangerous to leave the session key secret in source contr

    - by rspeicher
    I've got a Rails app that's been running live for some time, and I'm planning to open source it in the near future. I'm wondering how dangerous it is to leave the session key store secret in source control while the app is live. If it's dangerous, how do people usually handle this problem? I'd guess that it's easiest to just move the string to a text file that's ignored by the SCM, and read it in later. Just for clarity, I'm talking about this: # Your secret key for verifying cookie session data integrity. # If you change this key, all old sessions will become invalid! # Make sure the secret is at least 30 characters and all random, # no regular words or you'll be exposed to dictionary attacks. ActionController::Base.session = { :key => '_application_session', :secret => '(long, unique string)' } And while we're on the subject, is there anything else in a default Rails app that should be protected when open sourcing a live app?
