• Is there a CDN for backbone.marionette?

  - by Thunder Rabbit

  Getting started with Backbone and Marionette, I was about to copy the file at https://github.com/marionettejs/backbone.marionette/blob/master/lib/backbone.marionette.js to my local server, but wondered if there was a CDN version of it. For Underscore and Backbone dev, I'm including these two files, respectively: http://documentcloud.github.com/underscore/underscore-min.js http://documentcloud.github.com/backbone/backbone-min.js Is there a similar URL for backbone.marrionette.js?

• Friendly URLs: is there a max length for search engines?

  - by Olivier Pons

  People from stackoverflow have been working closely with google team to help them make the panda algorithm more efficient, so I guess they've learned a lot from the google team. Thus they may have done very clever friendly URLs to maximize the page rank. I've seen from time to time very long URLs (can't find where) in stackoverflow, but after a certain "amount" of character there were only numbers, kind of "ok passed this length, SEOs will ignore this so let's put only numbers". I've done a huge work on my framework to make very friendly URLs, and my website can come up with URLs like: http://www.mysite.fr/recherche/region/provence-alpes-cote-d-azur/departement/bouches-du-rhone/categorie-de-metiers/paramedical/ It's very long and I'm wondering if the previous URL won't be mixed with, say, this one: http://www.mysite.fr/recherche/region/provence-alpes-cote-d-azur/departement/bouches-du-rhone/categorie-de-metiers/art/

• Unity Android: Truecolor texture performance hit and alternatives for truecolor

  - by Esa

  After integrating the graphics assets to my application, I noticed that when the textures are compressed they look very bad compared to truecolor. This happens to all the textures and it did not seem to help changing the texture type to GUI nor did it help to switch the 32-bit display buffering on. Does using truecolor textures make the application much heavier to run? Or does it just increase the size of the .APK? Are there alternatives to getting a good texture quality and a smaller texture size instead of using truecolor?

• How to transform gameObjects in array?

  - by user1764781

  I have an array of available gameObjects in the scene. An array of GO should be transformed according to received floats through UDP connection. I know it is simple, but can't figure it out how to accomplish the transformation an array of GO according to received unique floats for each GO, any help will be appreciated. Here is a transformation floats, it might be helpful I guess: x =ReadSingleBigEndian(data, signalOffset); signalOffset+=4; y= ReadSingleBigEndian(data, signalOffset); signalOffset+=4; z= ReadSingleBigEndian(data, signalOffset); signalOffset+=4; alpha= ReadSingleBigEndian(data, signalOffset); signalOffset+=4; theta= ReadSingleBigEndian(data,signalOffset); signalOffset+=4; phi= ReadSingleBigEndian(data,signalOffset); signalOffset+=4;

• Sharing data between graphics and physics engine in the game?

  - by PolGraphic

  I'm writing the game engine that consists of few modules. Two of them are the graphics engine and the physics engine. I wonder if it's a good solution to share data between them? Two ways (sharing or not) looks like that: Without sharing data GraphicsModel{ //some common for graphics and physics data like position //some only graphic data //like textures and detailed model's verticles that physics doesn't need }; PhysicsModel{ //some common for graphics and physics data like position //some only physics data //usually my physics data contains A LOT more informations than graphics data } engine3D->createModel3D(...); physicsEngine->createModel3D(...); //connect graphics and physics data //e.g. update graphics model's position when physics model's position will change I see two main problems: A lot of redundant data (like two positions for both physics and graphics data) Problem with updating data (I have to manually update graphics data when physics data changes) With sharing data Model{ //some common for graphics and physics data like position }; GraphicModel : public Model{ //some only graphics data //like textures and detailed model's verticles that physics doesn't need }; PhysicsModel : public Model{ //some only physics data //usually my physics data contains A LOT more informations than graphics data } model = engine3D->createModel3D(...); physicsEngine->assingModel3D(&model); //will cast to //PhysicsModel for it's purposes?? //when physics changes anything (like position) in model //(which it treats like PhysicsModel), the position for graphics data //will change as well (because it's the same model) Problems here: physicsEngine cannot create new objects, just "assing" existing ones from engine3D (somehow it looks more anti-independent for me) Casting data in assingModel3D function physicsEngine and graphicsEngine must be careful - they cannot delete data when they don't need them (because second one may need it). But it's rare situation. Moreover, they can just delete the pointer, not the object. Or we can assume that graphicsEngine will delete objects, physicsEngine just pointers to them. Which way is better? Which will produce more problems in the future? I like the second solution more, but I wonder why most graphics and physics engines prefer the first one (maybe because they normally make only graphics or only physics engine and somebody else connect them in the game?). Have they any more hidden pros & contras?

• Direct3d - Code structure

  - by marcg11

  I'm learning directx in a master's degree and they taught us to have a GraphicsLayer class which is the one connecting with the direct3d library. That way this class is completly independent from the other classes (my game classes), meaning changing the renderer to OpenGL wouldn't require much effort but only changing the graphicLayer. This classe has it's LoadAssets, Paint methods, but I have a question, they told us to load all the assets inside this class. This means all these methods will be in the loadAssets method: D3DXCreateTextureFromFileEx(g_pD3DDevice,"tiles.png",0,0,1,0,D3DFMT_UNKNOWN,D3DPOOL_DEFAULT,D3DX_FILTER_NONE,D3DX_FILTER_NONE,NULL,NULL,NULL,&texTiles); // And more resources to load //... texTiles as you see is a LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE9 instance which is declared in the graphicLayer.h. So my question is, how do you manage all the resources? Do I have to declare in the .h all my game textures even if I'm not using them? How would you load only those resources there are in a scene and draw them in a code-strucured way?

• How to change screen resolution in slick2d?

  - by SystemNetworks

  I released my game for testing for both windows and mac. I'm using mac as my development workspace. My friends uses windows and the window was to big. I created a 1000*1500 Screen window. I can change the window size but that means I have to re-do all my sprite sheets again with smaller sheets. I don't want to this again but is there a way which I can make the window smaller without changing the size of my sprite and changing co-ordinates of the mouse clicks?

• JSP/Servlet CRUD form with special input field based on join table relationship

  - by user1701467

  There's database with a bunch of tables that are joined with join tables. E.g. Members and Division are joined with MembersDivisions table. JSP/Servlet login functionality has been developed, but now the CRUD functionality needs to be implemented and I was unable to find any tutorials about it, especially involving the join table(when creating new division you can add members to it, or add more to the existing one). Maybe someone could, theoretically, explain how to do the Division part of the CRUD web form?

  - by Fran Rod

  I have the next code which show a path using a polyline. How can I remove it? downloadUrl("myfile.asp", function(data) { var xml = xmlParse(data); var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker"); var path = []; for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) { var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")); var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")); var point = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng); path.push(point); }//finish loop var polyline = new google.maps.Polyline({ path: path, strokeColor: "#FF0000", strokeOpacity: 1.0, strokeWeight: 2 }); polyline.setMap(map); }); //end download url I have tried it using the next function but I m not able to make it work. function removePath() { polyline.setMap(null) }

• PHP: extract email and name from data file

  - by pi-2r

  I need to extract the name and the e-mail from one data file. the file contains more than 500 lines and I want to extract this two informations almost all the data. I would like to use preg_match_all, but my function doesn't work ... $chaine = " ----------------- 11/21/12 16:06:54 tcp static-qvn-qvt-127041 MAIL [email protected] NAME tata1 ----------------- 11/21/12 16:06:54 tcp static-qvn-qvt-127041 MAIL [email protected] NAME tata2 * ----------------- 11/21/12 16:06:54 tcp static-qvn-qvt-127041 MAIL [email protected] NAME tata3 "; //$chaine =" #76:50#89:1#86:50#49:1#84:22"; $motif="/MAIL([a-z]{2,4}+)NAME([a-z]{2,4}+)/"; preg_match_all($motif,$chaine,$out); $nb=count($out[0]); for($i=0;$i<$nb;$i++) { echo $out[0][$i].'<br/>'; }

• Effective methods for reading and writing large files in C

  - by Bertholt Stutley Johnson

  I'm writing an application that deals with very large user-generated input files. The program will copy about 95 percent of the file, effectively duplicating it and switching a few words and values in the copy, and then appending the copy (in chunks) to the original file, such that each block (consisting of between 10 and 50 lines) in the original is followed by the copied and modified block, and then the next original block, and so on. The user-generated input conforms to a certain format, and it is highly unlikely that any line in the original file is longer than 100 characters long. Which would be the better approach? a) To use one file pointer and use variables that hold the current position of how much has been read and where to write to, seeking the file pointer back and forth to read and write; or b) To use multiple file pointers, one for reading and one for writing. I am mostly concerned with the efficiency of the program, as the input files will reach up to 25,000 lines, each about 50 characters long. Thanks!

• any way to use ajax with jstl customtags without duplicating tags in javascript?

  - by CodeMonkeyB

  I am working on a page where part of the content is loaded normally and the pages are rendered using jsps. The product images and links generated on that page are by custom jstl tags. When the user scrolls more products are requested from the server in a JSON response and then using UnderscoreJS templates they are rendered and added to the bottom of the page. Is there any way I can use the JSTL tags in Javascript without recreating them using a javascript function (it won't be possible to re-create all of them in javascript). What is the best way to handle this scenario? I guess I could return a rendered html response for the ajax call, but that would mean I have some ajax requests which use json and some that use rendered html...

• Handling duplicate insertion

  - by Francis

  So I've got this piece of code which, logically should work but Entity Framework is behaving unexpectedly. Here: foreach (SomeClass someobject in allObjects) { Supplier supplier = new Supplier(); supplier.primary_key = someobject.id; supplier.name = someobject.displayname; try { sm.Add(supplier); ro.Created++; } catch (Exception ex) { ro.Error++; } } Here's what I have in sm.Add() public Supplier Add(Supplier supplier) { try { _ctx.AddToSupplier(supplier); _ctx.SaveChanges(); return supplier; } catch (Exception ex) { throw; } } I can have records in allObjects that have the same id. My piece of code needs to support this and just move on to the next and try to insert it, which I think should work. If this happens, an exception is throw, saying that records with dupe PKs cannot be inserted (of course). The exception mentions the value of the PK, for example 1000. All is well, a new supplier is passed to sm.Add() containing a PK that's never been used before. (1001) Weirdly though, when doing SaveChanges(), EF will whine about not being able to insert records with dupe PKs. The exception still mentions 1000 even though supplier contains 10001 in primary_key. I feel this is me not using _ctx properly. Do I need to call something else to sync it ?

• How to add objects to NSArray from a different class with ARC

  - by Space Dust

  I needed to convert my code to ARC. I have an NSArray that I use to draw a path. I fill the objects of NSArray values from a different class. Problem is after converting to ARC, NSArray returns always null I can not see what I am doing wrong. bug.h @interface Ladybug : CCSprite <CCTargetedTouchDelegate>{ CCArray *linePathPosition; } @property (nonatomic, strong) CCArray *linePathPosition; @end bug.m @synthesize linePathPosition; -(id) init { if( (self=[super init] )) { self.linePathPosition = [[CCArray alloc] init]; } return self; } -(void) updatePosition:(CGPoint) position { [self.linePathPosition addObject:[NSValue valueWithCGPoint:position]]; NSLog(@"line path %@",linePathPosition); } -(void) breakMoveLadyBug { [self.linePathPosition removeAllObjects]; } In main .m - (void)ccTouchMoved:(UITouch *)touch withEvent:(UIEvent *)event { Ladybug *ladybug1 = (Ladybug *)[self getChildByTag:99]; CCMotionStreak* streak = (CCMotionStreak *)[self getChildByTag:999]; CGPoint touchLocation = [touch locationInView: [touch view]]; CGPoint curPosition = [[CCDirector sharedDirector] convertToGL:touchLocation]; if (ladybug1.isSelected) { streak.position = curPosition; [ladybug1 updatePosition:curPosition]; NSLog(@"Cur position %@",NSStringFromCGPoint(curPosition)); if (!ladybug1.isMoving) { [ladybug1 startMoveLadyBug]; } } } Log: Cur position {331, 110} line path (null) What am I doing wrong? What is the proper way to define and init NSArray with ARC?

• Returned JSON from Twitter and displaying tweets using FlexSlider

  - by Trey Copeland

  After sending a request to the Twitter API using geocode, I'm getting back a json response with a list of tweets. I then that into a php array using json_decode() and use a foreach loop to output what I need. I'm using flex slider to show the tweets in a vertical fashion after wrapping them in a list. So what I want is for it to only show 10 tweets at a time and scroll through them infinitely like an escalator. Here's my loop to output the tweets: foreach ($tweets["results"] as $result) { $str = preg_replace('/[^\00-\255]+/u', '', $result["text"]); echo '<ul class="slides">'; echo '<li><a href="http://twitter.com/' . $result["from_user"] . '"><img src=' . $result["profile_image_url"] . '></a>' . $str . '</li><br /><br />'; echo '</ul>'; } My jQuery looks like this as of right now as I'm trying to play around with things: $(window).load(function() { $('.flexslider').flexslider({ slideDirection: "vertical", start: function(slider) { //$('.flexslider .slides > li gt(10)').hide(); }, after: function(slider) { // current.sl } }); }); Non-Working demo here - http://macklabmedia.com/tweet/

• How can I sum number of rows of a table in SQL ORACLE?

  - by Christian Magro

  Dear community I have the follow instruction on SQL ORACLE: SELECT COUNT(FE_DAY) FROM TI_DATE WHERE (FE_MO = 02 AND FE_YEAR in ('2011', '2012')) GROUP BY FE_DAY In this instruction effectively obtain like SQL Answer a list of number that they sum=10 .But How can I don't show rows .I need only show the row's sum=10 I tried to apply the follow SQL instruction also: SELECT SUM(COUNT(FE_DAY)) FROM TI_DATE WHERE (FE_MO = 02 AND FE_YEAR in ('2011', '2012')) GROUP BY FE_DAY But the answer was 57, different of the number of rows, that I need.

• Output of System.out.println(object)

  - by Shaarad Dalvi

  I want to know what exactly the output tells when I do the following : class data { int a=5; } class main { public static void main(String[] args) { data dObj=new data(); System.out.println(dObj); } } I know it gives something related to object as the output in my case is data@1ae73783. I guess the '1ae73783' is a hex number. I also did some work around and printed System.out.println(dObj.hashCode()); I got number 415360643. I got an integer value. I don't know what hashCode() returns, still out of curiosity, when I converted 1ae73783 to decimal, I got 415360643! That's why I am curious that what exactly is this number?? Is this some memory location of Java's sandbox or some other thing? Any light on this matter will be helpful..thanks! :)

• Python double underscore mangling

  - by gnr

  I am a bit confused by this behavior (using python 3.2): class Bar: pass class Foo: def __init__(self): self.__cache = None bar = Bar() bar.__cache = None foo = Foo() print(vars(bar)) #returns {'__cache': None} print(vars(foo)) #returns {'_Foo__cache': None} I've read up a bit on how double-underscores cause attribute names to be "mangled", but I would have expected the same name-mangling in both cases above. The meaning of a single- and a double-underscore before an object name in Python Any ideas what's going on here?

• JQuery Slide Onclick

  - by everreadyeddy

  I am using the code in example http://www.faridesign.net/2012/05/create-a-awesome-vertical-tabbed-content-area-using-css3-jquery/ I am trying to slide the div tags on a button click on the list so the current tab-content will slide in and the tab just clicked will slide out. I currently have the working example where I can switch between divs fine, but I need to slide in and out between divs. Is there any script I can do this with the current code. using .slide or .effect instead of .show() looks to display two divs at the same time. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. <div id="v-nav"> <ul> <li tab="tab1" class="first current">Main Screen</li> <li tab="tab2">Div 1</li> <li tab="tab3">Div 2</li> <li tab="tab4">Div 3</li> <li tab="tab5">Div 4</li> <li tab="tab6">Div 5</li> <li tab="tab7">Div 6</li> <li tab="tab8" class="last">Div 7</li> </ul> <div class="tab-content"> <h4>Main Screen</h4> </div> <div class="tab-content"> <h4>Div 1</h4> </div> <div class="tab-content"> <h4>Div 2</h4> </div> <div class="tab-content"> <h4>Div 3</h4> </div> <div class="tab-content"> <h4>Div 4</h4> </div> <div class="tab-content"> <h4>Div 5</h4> </div> <div class="tab-content"> <h4>Div 6</h4> </div> <div class="tab-content"> <h4>Div 7</h4> </div> My Script looks like $(function () { var items = $('#v-nav>ul>li').each(function () { $(this).click(function () { //remove previous class and add it to clicked tab items.removeClass('current'); $(this).addClass('current'); //hide all content divs and show current one //$('#v-nav>div.tab-content').hide().eq(items.index($(this))).show(); //$('#v-nav>div.tab-content').hide().eq(items.index($(this))).fadeIn(100); $('#v-nav>div.tab-content').hide().eq(items.index($(this))).slideToggle(); window.location.hash = $(this).attr('tab'); }); }); if (location.hash) { showTab(location.hash); } else { showTab("tab1"); } function showTab(tab) { $("#v-nav ul li:[tab*=" + tab + "]").click(); } // Bind the event hashchange, using jquery-hashchange-plugin $(window).hashchange(function () { showTab(location.hash.replace("#", "")); }) // Trigger the event hashchange on page load, using jquery-hashchange-plugin $(window).hashchange(); });

• Ado.Net Entity produces "namespace cannot be found"

  - by Dave

  I've seen several possible solutions to this, but none have worked for me. After adding a ADO.NET Entity Data Model to my .Net Forms C# web project, I am unable to use it. Perhaps I made a mistake adding it? The name of the file added is QcFormData.edmx. In my code, perhaps I'm instantiating it incorrectly? I tried adding the line: QcFormDataContainer db = new QcFormDataContainer(); It appears in Intellisense, but when compiling I get the error : Error 13 The type or namespace name 'QcFormDataContainer' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) I've followed the suggestions that I found online that did not help: 1) made sure there is "using System.Data.Entity" 2) made sure the dll exists. 3) made sure the reference exists. 4) one post said use using System.Web.Data.Entity; but I do not see that available.

• subclassing QList and operator+ overloading

  - by Milen

  I would like to be able to add two QList objects. For example: QList<int> b; b.append(10); b.append(20); b.append(30); QList<int> c; c.append(1); c.append(2); c.append(3); QList<int> d; d = b + c; For this reason, I decided to subclass the QList and to overload the operator+. Here is my code: class List : public QList<int> { public: List() : QList<int>() {} // Add QList + QList friend List operator+(const List& a1, const List& a2); }; List operator+(const List& a1, const List& a2) { List myList; myList.append(a1[0] + a2[0]); myList.append(a1[1] + a2[1]); myList.append(a1[2] + a2[2]); return myList; } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QCoreApplication a(argc, argv); List b; b.append(10); b.append(20); b.append(30); List c; c.append(1); c.append(2); c.append(3); List d; d = b + c; List::iterator i; for(i = d.begin(); i != d.end(); ++i) qDebug() << *i; return a.exec(); } , the result is correct but I am not sure whether this is a good approach. I would like to ask whether there is better solution?

• Python alignment of assignments (style)

  - by ikaros45

  I really like following style standards, as those specified in PEP 8. I have a linter that checks it automatically, and definitely my code is much better because of that. There is just one point in PEP 8, the E251 & E221 don't feel very good. Coming from a JavaScript background, I used to align the variable assignments as following: var var1 = 1234; var2 = 54; longer_name = 'hi'; var lol = { 'that' : 65, 'those' : 87, 'other_thing' : true }; And in my humble opinion, this improves readability dramatically. Problem is, this is dis-recommended by PEP 8. With dictionaries, is not that bad because spaces are allowed after the colon: dictionary = { 'something': 98, 'some_other_thing': False } I can "live" with variable assignments without alignment, but what I don't like at all is not to be able to pass named arguments in a function call, like this: some_func(length= 40, weight= 900, lol= 'troll', useless_var= True, intelligence=None) So, what I end up doing is using a dictionary, as following: specs = { 'length': 40, 'weight': 900, 'lol': 'troll', 'useless_var': True, 'intelligence': None } some_func(**specs) or just simply some_func(**{'length': 40, 'weight': 900, 'lol': 'troll', 'useless_var': True, 'intelligence': None}) But I have the feeling this work around is just worse than ignoring the PEP 8 E251 / E221. What is the best practice?

• Unable to save to wincache from cakePHP shell

  - by Phillaf

  I'm trying to retrieve the weather from wunderground.com through their API, and store it in wincache. For testing purposes I made this function in the News model: public function updateWeather(){ $results = file_get_contents('http://api.wunderground.com/api/**api_key**/conditions/q/CA/Montreal.json'); $results = json_decode($results); return Cache::write('weather', $results); } It works fine when I call this from the controller. However, I can't figure why that same function doesn't work when called from the console. I made this shell in order to eventually add this to windows task scheduler. class WeatherShell extends AppShell { public $uses = array('News'); public function main() { $this->News->updateWeather(); } } When running this, I see that $results is correctly populated. I get 'true' from Cache::write(), however, I get 'false' when trying to read. What subtlety am I missing?
