  • Does the 80/20 rule of time management apply to developers?

    - by Dean
    Jeff's recent article linked to a time management example of the First Fit Decreasing algorithm, which talked about the Pareto principle (or, the 80/20 rule) of time management, that is, that 80% of the work we produce in 20% of our time. Now we've all heard the programmer quote: The first 90% of the code accounts for the first 90% of the development time. The remaining 10% of the code accounts for the other 90% of the development time. But all jokes aside, it is often as if 20% of your code is to do what you want, and the other 80% is to handle exceptions... so does the 80/20 rule really apply to developers? Does anyone have any examples of why it does / does not apply to us?

  • embed multiple youtube videos to chromeless player cue

    - by Quaze
    So in the project ive been working on i use the youtube API to add a video to a chromeless player (got custom buttons, everything works no problems). It loads the youtube id which it gets from the database (Codeigniter, PHP). But what i would like to see is: instead of loading 1 video, id like to add all the videos i get from the database in the cue of that one player. So only one screen, first video retrieved from dbase gets played first, when its done second get loaded preferably also looped. Is there any way i can achieve this? My first guess would be to save the array with youtube id's somewhere and on state change (when the 'video stop'-event gets fired) load the next id from the array. Havent tried this yet because id prefer if the cue gets just gets filled on the init, so it doesnt have to load after a video has been ended. Is This possible?

  • Problem searching a NSMutableArray

    Basically, I have a UISearchBar searching an NSMutableArray of stories that make up an RSS feed, and when you select a story, it loads in my app's UIWebView. It's difficult to explain, but I have a list of entries 1, 2, 3, and 4 and you search for '4'. 4 will be the first entry in the now-filtered list of data, right? You'd think that by selecting 4, it would load in the UIWebView. Well, the app seems to not recognize that you're selecting the first entry in a filtered list of data, and instead thinks that you're selecting the first entry in the unfiltered array of data, so it loads entry 1. Everything looks right in my code, but obviously it isn't. I know it's a confusing problem, but I hope I made it somewhat clear. Anyway, here's the relevant source so that you may see exactly what I mean: Search.h: http://www.scribd.com/doc/13107802/Searchh Search.m: http://www.scribd.com/doc/13107812/Searchm

  • running a program in Unix vs in Windows

    - by Hristo
    I'm compiling a simple program written in C and I'm using Eclipse as an IDE, both in Windows 7 and on my MacBook Pro. Very simple program my friend wrote and asked me to help him with: int a = 0; char b[2]; printf("Input first class info:\n"); printf("Credit Hours: \n"); scanf("%d", &a); printf("Letter Grade: "); scanf("%s", b); So when I run this on my mac, each line prints and when I encounter the scanf(), I can input and continue as expected. In Windows, I have to input everything and then it will print all the lines. I'm not sure why this is happening... what is the difference b/w Windows and Mac here? Mac: Input first class info: Credit Hours: 4 Letter Grade: B+ Windows: 4 B+ Input first class info: Credit Hours: Letter Grade: Thanks, Hristo

  • Excel Matching problem with logic expression

    - by abelenky
    (I understand Excel is only borderline programming) I have a block of data that represents the steps in a process and the possible errors: ProcessStep Status FeesPaid OK FormRecvd OK RoleAssigned OK CheckedIn Not Checked In. ReadyToStart Not Ready for Start I want to find the first Status that is not "OK". I have attempted this: =Match("<>""OK""", StatusRange, 0) which is supposed to return the index of the first element in the range that is NOT-EQUAL (<) to "OK" But this doesn't work, instead returning #N/A. I expect it to return 4 (index #4, in a 1-based index, representing that CheckedIn is the first non-OK element) Any ideas how to do this?

  • Learning about BIOS memory, instructions and code origins

    - by m3taspl0it
    I'm learning about the BIOS and have a few questions. What is meant by, "This is the last 16 bytes of memory at the end of the first megabyte of memory"? The first instruction of BIOS is jump, which jumps to the main BIOS program, but where does it jump? Where does the original BIOS code originate? I'm also interested in POST? How are POST signals executed by the processor?

  • Choosing Merge Direction

    - by tbreffni
    Consider a simple source-control layout, with a trunk representing a future release in development and a single branch representing a release currently in production. When a bug is discovered that needs fixed in both branches, should the change be made first to the trunk then merged down to the branch, or made first to the branch then merged up to the trunk? Typically I've made the fix first in the trunk then merged downwards, however there is an increased risk this way that future new features get merged down accidentally. What has worked best in your experience?

  • How to order the images in a mysql database?

    - by user305270
    Hy! Here is my problem: i have a profile and this profile has for example 100 images. When someone visit this profile the first image will be the first result of my query that sorts by updated_at. But if the user would want to put the image with the (id = 8) to be the first, then (id = 22) then (id = 88) and so on? I need to put another field or is really necessary a new table to make a custom sort on images? and maybe someone explain this to me how to do? thanks, i appreciate your help ;)

  • Blackberry Application not deploying in simulator from eclipse

    - by Joe
    I wrote a first sample Hello World Program for BB in eclipse using the plugin and everything worked fine. But then I wrote another app, not much different from the first and I went to deploy it and the simulator opened but only the first application was there. I tried loading the .cod file from inside the simulator but that didn't work either. I also tried exiting and resetting the simulator and using the clean.bat file but none of that worked either. Finally I tried to load another sample program I downloaded from RIM and that worked just fine. Help! I'm completely stuck.

  • table cell background color change problem

    - by Mellon
    I work on another guy's code, and I try to change the table cell background color when mouse over the cell, and change back to the original background color when mouse leave. I use the following code: var bgcolor=$(".cell-el").css("background-color") $(".cell-el").hover( function(){ $(this).css("background-color", "#3c3c36")}, //mouse enter, bg-color change function(){ $(this).css("background-color", bgcolor) // mouse leave, bg-color change back }) Things are working fine, EXCEPT that when mouse first time enter the cell, the cell background color is not changed to "#3c3c36", but when mouse leave the cell after first entering and enter in the cell again, the cell's background color changed to "#3c3c36". That's the cell color never change for mouse first enter, after that, everything is working great. What's could be the cause of this problem?

  • Most optimal order (of joins) for left join

    - by Ram
    I have 3 tables Table1 (with 1020690 records), Table2(with 289425 records), Table 3(with 83692 records).I have something like this SELECT * FROM Table1 T1 /* OK fine select * is bad when not all columns are needed, this is just an example*/ LEFT JOIN Table2 T2 ON T1.id=T2.id LEFT JOIN Table3 T3 ON T1.id=T3.id and a query like this SELECT * FROM Table1 T1 LEFT JOIN Table3 T3 ON T1.id=T3.id LEFT JOIN Table2 T2 ON T1.id=T2.id The query plan shows me that it uses 2 Merge Join for both the joins. For the first query, the first merge is with T1 and T2 and then with T3. For the second query, the first merge is with T1 and T3 and then with T2. Both these queries take about the same time(40 seconds approx.) or sometimes Query1 takes couple of seconds longer. So my question is, does the join order matter ?

  • Set a custom start date for week numbers

    - by Graham Wager
    Outlook has the ability to show week numbers down the side of the calendar in monthly view, and on the mini-calendar: In options, you can set the first week of the year, but only to the following three options: This is all very nice, but at work our "year" starts on a different date to match up with accounting periods - it's currently week 37 rather than 45! I'd like Outlook to be able to tell me which week it is at work, so is there any way I can set a custom date to be the first week of the year?

  • URLs with query stripped of ampersands appearing in error logs

    - by Jeremy DeGroot
    I've noticed a curious phenomena popping up in my error logs recently. If, as the result of processing a form, I redirect my users to the URL http://www.example.com/index.php?foo=bar&bar=baz, I will see the following two URLs in my log http://www.example.com/index.php?foo=barbar=baz http://www.example.com/index.php?foo=bar&bar=baz The first one is obviously incorrect and will cause my application to redirect to a 404. It always appears first, usually a second before the second one. The 404 page is not doing the redirection, so it appears that the browser is trying both versions. At first, looking at my server logs made me believe it affected only Firefox 3.6.3, but I've found an example of Safari being afflicted as well. It happens fairly intermittently, though it can occur multiple times in a users' session. I've never been able to get it to happen to me. Any thoughts as to the nature of the problem or a solution?

  • Using the same machineKey across two web farms

    - by wwilkins
    We have two separate NLB web farms. The first farm runs an app that delivers content to the customer facing application on the second NLB. We've noticed a single Cryptographic error in our logs that occurs whenever a page loading content from the first farm is accessed. Is there any reason to not give all of the servers in both farms the same machineKey settings?

  • need more complex index !

    - by silversky
    I'm sorry if it's not an appropriate question for this site, and if it's necesary I'll close this question. But maybe someone could give me an ideea: I'm trying to find a more complex index to make an hierarchy. For example: 5 votes from 6 = 83% AND 500 votes from 600 = 83%; 10 votes from 600 = 1.66% If I make a hierarchy with the %, first two will be on the same place, but I think that 83% from 600 it's more valuable than the first one. I could compare 5, 10, 500, but again it's not fair because the third case (10 votes) will be in front of the first case (5 votes), wich it's not fair beacuse the third case has only 1.66% Maybe someone could give me an ideea how to give more weight for the second case but in the same time let the let the new entries have a fair chance.

  • In terminal, merging multiple folders into one.

    - by Josh Pinter
    I have a backup directory created by WDBackup (western digital external HD backup util) that contains a directory for each day that it backed up and the incremental contents of just what was backed up. So the hierarchy looks like this: 20100101 My Documents Letter1.doc My Music Best Songs Every First Songs.mp3 My song.mp3 # modified 20100101 20100102 My Documents Important Docs Taxes.doc My Music My Song.mp3 # modified 20100102 ...etc... Only what has changed is backed up and the first backup that was ever made contains all the files selected for backup. What I'm trying to do now is incrementally copy, while keeping the folder structure, from oldest to newest, each of these dated folders into a 'merged' folder so that it overrides the older content and keeps the new stuff. As an example, if just using these two example folders, the final merged folder would look like this: Merged My Documents Important Docs Taxes.doc Letter1.doc My Music Best Songs Every First Songs.mp3 My Song.mp3 # modified 20100102 Hope that makes sense. Thanks, Josh

  • How to remove one instance of one string in PHP?

    - by Jane
    I have a open source editor on the cms that I am making that automatically inserts a <br /> tag at the beginning of the post it submits to the database. This makes validation a pain, since even though there is no real text being submitted, the form still accepts the break tag as input and prevents the "Please enter some text" error from showing. So I tried to remove the opening break tag by filtering my input like this: substr($_POST['content'], 6); This works as long as the user doesn't press the backspace a couple of times which removes the break tag in which case the first 8 characters of the post gets removed even if they are not a break tag. So how can I remove the first 6 characters of the input ONLY if those first 6 characters are composed of the break tag. Also I don't want to remove all break tags, only the one at the very beginning of the post.

  • Servlet request getparameter's performance

    - by Bob
    Hi, I noticed that my app is very slow sometimes, so I've done some tests. It's a very simple web app. One servlet gets some parameters than stores them. Everything's fine except one thing. It takes too long to get a parameter for the first time. It doesn't matter which parameter I try to get, but for the first time it is very slow. The strange thing is this doesn't happen always. Sometimes getting a parameter for the first time is not slow. My code looks like this request.getParameter("paramName"); request.getParameter("paramName2"); request.getParameter("paramName3"); Getting "paramName" is slow. Getting the others is very fast. By slow I mean : 200-800 millisec By very fast I mean: ~0 millisec (in the code snippet, I didn't write the performance test, but I'm using System.currentTimeMillis())

  • Eclipse RCP Application Fails to launch second time

    - by ibuck
    I have an Eclipse RCP application that will launch properly after a clean install (right after build). The issue is that if I try to launch the application a second time the application throws an exception. I have narrowed the issue down to this file being created after the first run: ~install_dir/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.state Has anyone run into a similar issue where the .state file prevents the application from being launched anytime after that first run? I'm hesitant to look at the exception as this does not happen the first time, so I suspect org.eclipse.osgi is more to blame. The details of the exception are: "Error creating bean with name 'luceneRawQueryComposer' defined in class path resource [spring/dataaccess/daoCMClient.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'indexUtility' while setting bean property 'indexUtility'; NoSuchBeanDefinitionException

I need to make disk partitions used by Windows smaller to make room for Linux. What is easiest way to upgrade?

  • how to create a subquery in sql using count based on outer query

    - by user1754716
    I hope someone can help me with this query. Basically I have two queries that I want to "combine". I want the second query as an extra column along with the first query. The first one is this : SELECT t_Item_Storage_Location.Storage_Loc_Nbr, t_Storage_Location.Storage_Loc_Type_Code, Count(t_Load.Load_Id) AS CurrentLoadCount, t_load.MMM_Id_Nbr FROM t_Load INNER JOIN (t_Storage_Location INNER JOIN t_Item_Storage_Location ON t_Storage_Location.Storage_Loc_Nbr = t_Item_Storage_Location.Storage_Loc_Nbr) ON (t_Load.Storage_Loc_Nbr = t_Item_Storage_Location.Storage_Loc_Nbr) AND (t_Load.MMM_Id_Nbr = t_Item_Storage_Location.MMM_Id_Nbr) where ((((t_Item_Storage_Location.MMM_Id_Nbr) Between '702004%' And '702011%') AND ((t_Item_Storage_Location.Storage_Loc_Nbr) Like '%A') AND ((t_Storage_Location.Storage_Loc_Type_Code)='CD') AND ((t_Load.Active_Status_Ind)='A') AND ((t_Load.QC_Status_Code) Like 'R%') AND ((t_Load.MMM_Facility_Code)='MC')) OR (((t_Item_Storage_Location.Storage_Loc_Nbr) Like '%B')) OR (((t_Item_Storage_Location.Storage_Loc_Nbr) Like '%C')) OR (((t_Item_Storage_Location.Storage_Loc_Nbr) Like '%D')) OR (((t_Item_Storage_Location.Storage_Loc_Nbr) Like '%E')) ) GROUP BY t_Item_Storage_Location.MMM_Id_Nbr, t_Item_Storage_Location.Storage_Loc_Nbr, t_Storage_Location.Storage_Loc_Type_Code, t_Load.MMM_Facility_Code, t_load.MMM_Id_Nbr HAVING Count(t_Load.Load_Id)<4 The second one, is based on the t_load.MMM_Id_Nbr of the first one. Basically I want a count of all the loads with that mmm_id_nbr. SELECT count(Load_ID) as LoadCount, MMM_Id_Nbr, storage_Loc_Nbr FROM t_load WHERE QC_Status_Code like 'R%' and mmm_Facility_Code ='MC' and Active_Status_Ind='A' GROUP by MMM_Id_Nbr, storage_loc_Nbr

  • Why Is my json-object from AJAX not understood by javascript, even with 'json' dataType?

    - by pete
    My js code simply gets a json object from my server, but I think it should be automatically parsed and turned into an object with properties, yet it's not allowing access properly. $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: '/misc/json-sample.js', data: {href: path}, // THIS IS THE POST DATA THAT IS PASSED IN TO THE DRUPAL MENU CALL TO GET THE MENU... dataType: 'json', success: function (datax) { if (datax.debug) { alert('Debug data: ' + datax.debug); } else { alert('No debug data: ' + datax.toSource() ) ; } The /misc/json-sample.js file is: [ { "path": "examplemodule/parent1/child1/grandchild1", "title": "First grandchild option", "children": false } ] (I have also been trying to return that object from drupal as follows, and the same results.) Drupal version of misc/json-sample.js: $items[] = array( 'path' = 'examplemodule/parent1/child1/grandchild1', 'title' = t('First grandchild option'), 'debug' = t('debug me!'), 'children' = FALSE ); print drupal_to_js($items); What happens (in FF, which has the toSource() capability) is the alert with 'No debug data: [ { "path": "examplemodule/parent1/child1/grandchild1", "title": "First grandchild option", "children": false } ] Thanks

  • How to become MCT

    - by Incognito
    Hi, Are there any MCTs here. Please let us know the path to it. I have done some research on it, but would be interesting to know that from first hands. Or may be someone also wants to pass for MCT can share some experience. I can see in requirements Meet MCT competency requirements for each course they deliver. Administer course evaluations to every student and maintain high customer-satisfaction scores. New MCTs must deliver at least one Microsoft course within their first year as an MCT. At various times during the program year. I am ok with the first point (MCPD Enterprise, planning for CopmTIA shortly), but includes the last 2 points? Do I need to find some training centers to have agreement with them or ... Thank you.
