• Is Prince the best way to PDF in Ruby on Rails?

  - by Angela

  After several Google searches, it appears that the way to create PDF's in Rails from HTML and CSS (versus a new markup language) is to use Prince. With licensing at $3800 for my non-big-commercial app, I'm wondering if this is, in fact, consensus or people have an alternative they can share the what's and how's.

• Ruby: How can I have a Hash take multiple keys?

  - by zxcvbnm

  I'm taking 5 strings (protocol, source IP and port, destination IP and port) and using them to store some values in a hash. The problem is that if the IPs or ports are switched between source and destination, the key is supposed to be the same. If I was doing this in C#/Java/whatever I'd have to create a new class and overwrite the hashcode()/equals() methods, but that seems error prone from the little I've read about it and I was wondering if there would be a better alternative here.

• Which webserver to use with bottle?

  - by luc

  Bottle can use several webservers: Build-in HTTP development server and support for paste, fapws3, flup, cherrypy or any other WSGI capable server. I am using bottle for a desktop-app and I guess that the development server is enough in this case. I would like to know if some of you have experience with one of the alternative server. Which server for which purpose? Thanks in advance

• Is there a way to create a step chart using the Google Charts API?

  - by Nathan

  I'd like to use the google charts API to create a step chart for my Rails application. Preferably using the annotated timeline Google has (since it has a nice wrapper plugin for rails): http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/gallery/annotatedtimeline.html However, there doesn't seem to be a way to create a step chart using the annotated timeline or any other chart in the Google API. I'm looking to make a plot like this: If there is no way to do this with the google API, is there an alternative graphing library that can handle such a task?

• issue getting dynamic Config parameter in Grails taglib

  - by Mick Knutson

  I have a dynamic config parameter I want to get like: String srcProperty = "${attrs ['src']}.audio" + ((attrs['locale'])? "_${attrs['locale']}" : '') assert srcProperty == "prompt.welcomeMessageOverrideGreeting.audio" where my config has: prompt{ welcomeMessageOverrideGreeting { audio = "/en/someFileName.wav" txt = "Text alternative for /en/someFileName.wav" audio_es = "/es/promptFileName.wav" txt_es = "Texto alternativo para /es/someFileName.wav" } } While this works fine: String audio = "${config.prompt.welcomeMessageOverrideGreeting.audio}" and: assert "${config.prompt.welcomeMessageOverrideGreeting.audio}" == "/en/someFileName.wav" I can not get this to work: String audio = config.getProperty("prompt.welcomeMessageOverrideGreeting.audio")

• How can I include an external JavaScript file exactly once per partial view?

  - by AaronSieb

  I have a partial view (UserControl) that implements a simple pager in my Asp.Net MVC project. This pager needs access to a .js file that needs to be included exactly once, regardless of how many instances of the pager control are present on the parent page. I've tried to use Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptInclude, but it had no effect (I assume because the code nugget was evaluated too late to impact the head control). Is there any simple alternative?

• Reports in Java. What tool to use?

  - by Tom

  Hi, I need to create some reports, in different formats (xls, pdf, rtf). I am currently using JasperReports, in conjunction with IReport. I have no major complaints about it (except for the cases when IReport messes up my xml files), but i've been having some problems with it, when exporting to xls files and with some "special" characters, such as '&'. Is there a widely use alternative? Is JasperReports the right choice?

• Other HTML serialisations?

  - by Delan Azabani

  After keeping in mind that HTML has both an SGML and XML serialisations, which are just encodings for a parser to "explode" into a DOM, I'm wondering whether there are other serialisations for HTML. A JSON serialisation? If so, are there any parsers for these alternative serialisations?

• Using the masters method

  - by Roarke

  On my midterm I had the problem: t(n) = 8T(n/2) +n^3 and I am supposed to find its big theta notation using either the masters or alternative method. So what i did was a = 8, b = 2 k = 3 log8 (base 2) = 3 = k therefore, T(n) is big theta n^3. I got 1/3 points so i must be wrong. What did I do wrong?

• HTML parser for GAE

  - by Richard

  Generally I use lxml for my HTML parsing needs, but that isn't available on Google App Engine. The obvious alternative is BeautifulSoup, but I find it chokes too easily on malformed HTML. Currently I am testing libxml2dom and have been getting better results. Which pure Python HTML parser have you found performs best? My priority is the ability to handle bad HTML over speed.

• Tuning SQL Server 2008 for web applications

  - by Kibbee

  In one of the Stackoverflow podcasts, I remember Jeff Atwood saying that there was a configuration option in SQL Server 2008 which cuts down on locking, and was kind of an alternative to using "with (nolock)" in all your queries. Does anybody know how to enable the feature he was talking about, possibly even Jeff himself. I'm looking at deploying SQL Server 2008, and want to see if using a feature like this would help out my web application.

• SQL Server: How to call a UDF, if available?

  - by Ian Boyd

  Most systems will have a user-defined function (UDF) available. Some will not. i want to use the UDF if it's there: SELECT Users.*, dbo.UserGroupMembershipNames(Users.UserID) AS MemberOfGroupNames FROM Users Otherwise fallback to the acceptable alternative SELECT Users.*, (SELECT TOP 1 thing FROM Something WHERE Something.ID = Users.UserID) AS MemberGroupNames FROM Users How do? My first attempt, using the obvious solution, of course failed: SELECT Users.*, CASE WHEN (OBJECT_ID('dbo.UserGroupMembershipNames') IS NOT NULL) THEN dbo.UserGroupMembershipNames(Users.UserID) ELSE (SELECT TOP 1 thing FROM Something WHERE Something.ID = Users.UserID) END AS MemberOfGroupNames FROM Users for reasons beyond me

• Genetic/Evolutionary algorithms and local minima/maxima problem

  - by el.gringogrande

  I have run across several posts and articles that suggests using things like simulated annealing to avoid the local minima/maxima problem. I don't understand why this would be necessary if you started out with a sufficiently large random population. Is it just another check to insure that the initial population was, in fact, sufficiently large and random? Or are those techniques just an alternative to producing a "good" initial population?

• Flex and .NET - What's a good way to get data into Flex, WebORB? Web Services?

  - by JC Grubbs

  Ok, I asked a question earlier about Flex and ADO.NET Data Services but didn't get much response so I thought I'd rephrase. Does anyone have any experience building Adobe Flex applications with a .NET back-end? If so, what architecture did you use and what third-party tools if any did you employ. I've read a little about doing Flex remoting with WebORB but it seems more complicated than it should be, are web services an adequate alternative?

• How can I deploy an Adobe Air application including the runtime in a single file executable?

  - by Lozzer

  I am using 7zsfx [Link] to package Java apps together with a JRE as a single file executable. Is it possible to do something similar with Adobe AIR apps if I get a license from Adobe to distribute the runtime? Also, does anybody have any alternative ideas for deploying Adobe Air apps with an embedded runtime? (Reason: Target computers may not have the Air runtime installed, and target users may not have permissions to download and install the runtime.)
