  • My Windows 8 App in Windows Store

    - by Stephen.Walther
    Finally, you have a good reason to upgrade to Windows 8! My Brain Eaters app was just accepted into the Windows Store. Just in time for Halloween! The Brain Eaters app is a sample app from my soon to be released book Windows 8 Apps with HTML5 and JavaScript. The game illustrates several important programming concepts which you need when building Windows 8 games with JavaScript such as using HTML5 Canvas and the new requestAnimationFrame() method. If you are looking for Halo or Call of Duty then you will be disappointed. If you are looking for PAC-MAN then you will be disappointed. I created the simplest arcade game that I could imagine so I could explain it in the book. All of the code for the game is included with the book. The goal of the game is to eat the food pellets while avoiding the zombies while running around a maze. Every time you get eaten by a zombie, you can hear my six year old son saying “Oh No!”. Here’s the link to the game: http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/app/brain-eaters/e283c8d0-1fed-4b26-a8bf-464584c9de6d

  • How programmers can afford to NOT learn new things.

    - by newbie
    Good day! I am wondering how programmers learn many things because as a career shifter (from engineering to IT), I find it really hard to absorb everything. Three months ago, I learned HTML/CSS/Javascript. Two months ago, I learned mySQL and CCNA1. One month ago I learned C and Java. Now I am trying to learn J2EE. But it seems that I must combine everything I learned then add more into my brain (especially because J2EE is HUGE! -- XML, servlets, JSP, JSTL, EJB, frameworks(Hibernate, Structs, Spring), JDBC... and so on!!!) So I am wondering, how can programmers learn everything, then add something new without being confused of everything! Because Right now, I feel like my brain is going to explode because of information overload! And these knowledge I am trying to acquire are just the BASICS of programming (icing on the cake)! I still need to learn MORE to become a good programmer! And new technology emerges now and then that requires programmers to learn more again.. Learn.. learn.. learn... Any suggestions on how you as a programmer fit all you've learned into your brain? And how do you know which is the right thing for you to learn? Aren't you afraid that what you've learned may be obsolete next year then start learning again...?

  • How to mount private network shares on login?

    - by bainorama
    I've read all the existing entries I could find on using pam_mount but none of them seem to work for me. I'm trying to automatically mount shares on my local NAS at user login time. The usernames and passwords on my NAS shares match my local user name and password, but there is no LDAP/AD server. My pam_mount.conf has the following: <volume fstype="cifs" server="bain-brain" path="movies" user="*" sgrp="bains" mountpoint="/home/%(USER)/movies" options="user=%(USER),dir_mode=0700,file_mode=700,nosuid,nodev" /> When I login, I see the following in /var/log/auth.log: Oct 13 10:21:26 bad-lattitude lightdm: pam_mount(misc.c:380): 29 20 0:20 / /home/alastairb/movies rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime - cifs //bain-brain/movies rw,sec=ntlm,unc=\\bain-brain\movies,username=alastairb,uid=1000,forceuid,gid=1000,forcegid,addr=10.1.1.12,file_mode=01274,dir_mode=0700,nounix,serverino,rsize=61440,wsize=65536,actimeo=1 The folder /home/alastairb/movies is present but empty (can't see the files which are on the NAS in the respective share folder). In Nautilus, the share is shown in the sidebar under "Computer", and clicking on this takes me to the correct folder, but again, its empty. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

    I am using time freeze program but I can not save my free vpn user name and pasword. Since user name and pasword changed daily I have to unfreeze change pasword then freeze again. In the time freeze there is option to excusing file and folder. if I find the location of vpn setting that save the user name and pasword, I will have ability to use without unfreezing and re freezing. There is a location with path %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\ that contain vpn configurations except user name and password. I need the location that store user name and password.

  • Error configuring virtual hosts with Apache on Windows 8 [on hold]

    I can't get virtual host to work on my Windows 8. I restart, stop, start Apache, but I get a popup dialog that says: The requested operation has failed!

  • iPhone crash on CoreData save

    - by davetron5000
    This is a different situation than this question, as the solution provided doesn't work and the stack is different. Periodical crash when I save data using coredata. The stack trace isn't 100% clear on where this is happening, but I'm certain it's this routine that's being called. It's either the save: in this method or the one following. Code: -(void)saveWine { if ([self validInfo]) { Wine *wine = (Wine *)wineToEdit; if (wine == nil) { wine = (Wine *)[NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:@"Wine" inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext]; } wine.uuid = [Utils createUUID]; wine.name = self.wineNameField.text; wine.vineyard = self.vineyardField.text; wine.vintage = [[self numberFormatter] numberFromString:self.vintageField.text]; wine.timeStamp = [NSDate date]; wine.rating = [NSNumber numberWithInt:self.ratingControl.selectedSegmentIndex]; wine.partnerRating = [NSNumber numberWithInt:self.partnerRatingControl.selectedSegmentIndex]; wine.varietal = self.currentVarietal; wine.tastingNotes = self.currentTastingNotes; wine.dateTasted = self.currentDateTasted; wine.tastingLocation = [[ReferenceDataAccessor defaultReferenceDataAccessor] addEntityForType:TASTING_LOCATION withName:self.currentWhereTasted]; id type = [[ReferenceDataAccessor defaultReferenceDataAccessor] entityForType:WINE_TYPE withOrdinal:self.typeControl.selectedSegmentIndex]; wine.type = type; NSError *error; NSLog(@"Saving %@",wine); if (![self.managedObjectContext save:&error]) { [Utils showAlertMessage:@"There was a problem saving your wine; try restarting the app" withTitle:@"Problem saving"]; NSLog(@"Error while saving new wine %@, %@", error, [error userInfo]); } } else { NSLog(@"ERROR - someone is calling saveWine with invalid info!!"); } } Code for addEntityForType:withName:: -(id)addEntityForType:(NSString *)type withName:(NSString *)name { if ([Utils isStringBlank:name]) { return nil; } id existing = [[ReferenceDataAccessor defaultReferenceDataAccessor] entityForType:type withName:name]; if (existing != nil) { NSLog(@"%@ with name %@ already exists",type,name); return existing; } NSManagedObject *newEntity = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:type inManagedObjectContext:self.managedObjectContext]; [newEntity setValue:name forKey:@"name"]; NSError *error; if (![self.managedObjectContext save:&error]) { [Utils showAlertMessage:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"There was a problem saving a %@",type] withTitle:@"Database Probem"]; [Utils logErrorFully:error forOperation:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"saving new %@",type ]]; } return newEntity; } Stack trace: Thread 0 Crashed: 0 libSystem.B.dylib 0x311de2d4 __kill + 8 1 libSystem.B.dylib 0x311de2c4 kill + 4 2 libSystem.B.dylib 0x311de2b6 raise + 10 3 libSystem.B.dylib 0x311f2d72 abort + 50 4 libstdc++.6.dylib 0x301dea20 __gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler() + 376 5 libobjc.A.dylib 0x319a2594 _objc_terminate + 104 6 libstdc++.6.dylib 0x301dcdf2 __cxxabiv1::__terminate(void (*)()) + 46 7 libstdc++.6.dylib 0x301dce46 std::terminate() + 10 8 libstdc++.6.dylib 0x301dcf16 __cxa_throw + 78 9 libobjc.A.dylib 0x319a14c4 objc_exception_throw + 64 10 CoreData 0x3526e83e -[NSManagedObjectContext save:] + 1098 11 Wine Brain 0x0000651e 0x1000 + 21790 12 Wine Brain 0x0000525c 0x1000 + 16988 13 Wine Brain 0x00004894 0x1000 + 14484 14 Wine Brain 0x00008716 0x1000 + 30486 15 CoreFoundation 0x31477fe6 -[NSObject(NSObject) performSelector:withObject:withObject:] + 18 16 UIKit 0x338c14a6 -[UIApplication sendAction:to:from:forEvent:] + 78 17 UIKit 0x3395c7ae -[UIBarButtonItem(UIInternal) _sendAction:withEvent:] + 86 18 CoreFoundation 0x31477fe6 -[NSObject(NSObject) performSelector:withObject:withObject:] + 18 19 UIKit 0x338c14a6 -[UIApplication sendAction:to:from:forEvent:] + 78 20 UIKit 0x338c1446 -[UIApplication sendAction:toTarget:fromSender:forEvent:] + 26 21 UIKit 0x338c1418 -[UIControl sendAction:to:forEvent:] + 32 22 UIKit 0x338c116a -[UIControl(Internal) _sendActionsForEvents:withEvent:] + 350 23 UIKit 0x338c19c8 -[UIControl touchesEnded:withEvent:] + 336 24 UIKit 0x338b734e -[UIWindow _sendTouchesForEvent:] + 362 25 UIKit 0x338b6cc8 -[UIWindow sendEvent:] + 256 26 UIKit 0x338a1fc0 -[UIApplication sendEvent:] + 292 27 UIKit 0x338a1900 _UIApplicationHandleEvent + 5084 28 GraphicsServices 0x35d66efc PurpleEventCallback + 660 29 CoreFoundation 0x314656f8 __CFRUNLOOP_IS_CALLING_OUT_TO_A_SOURCE1_PERFORM_FUNCTION__ + 20 30 CoreFoundation 0x314656bc __CFRunLoopDoSource1 + 160 31 CoreFoundation 0x31457f76 __CFRunLoopRun + 514 32 CoreFoundation 0x31457c80 CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 224 33 CoreFoundation 0x31457b88 CFRunLoopRunInMode + 52 34 GraphicsServices 0x35d664a4 GSEventRunModal + 108 35 GraphicsServices 0x35d66550 GSEventRun + 56 36 UIKit 0x338d5322 -[UIApplication _run] + 406 37 UIKit 0x338d2e8c UIApplicationMain + 664 38 Wine Brain 0x000021ba 0x1000 + 4538 39 Wine Brain 0x00002184 0x1000 + 4484 I have no idea why my app's memory locations aren't being symbolocated, but the code paths lead to only two manavedObjectContext save: calls. The time this happend, addEntityForType was called all the way through, creating a new object for the "whereTasted" entity, before the final save: on the entire wine object. When I go through the same procedure again, it works fine. This leads me to believe it's something to do with the app having been run for a while when adding a new location, but I'm not sure. Any thoughts on how I can debug this and get more info the next time this happens?

  • memristor is a new paradigm (fourth element in integrated circuits)? [closed]

    - by lsalamon
    The memristor will bring a new paradigm of programming, opened enormous opportunities to enable the machines to gain knowledge, creating a new paradigm toward the intelligence altificial. Do you believe that we are paving the way for the era of intelligent machines? More info about : Brain-like systems? "As for the human brain-like characteristics, memristor technology could one day lead to computer systems that can remember and associate patterns in a way similar to how people do. This could be used to substantially improve facial recognition technology or to provide more complex biometric recognition systems that could more effectively restrict access to personal information. These same pattern-matching capabilities could enable appliances that learn from experience and computers that can make decisions." [EDITED] The way is open.

  • Dynamically changing the component of webpage

    - by peril brain
    Hi, I am working for a project on disaster management sponsered by World Bank, under this project i have assigned work on CMS. and my senior has asked me to make a ASP.NET webpage where those logged with administrator privilege will be able to edit the page. like:- <div id="mydiv"><pre>+++++++MY CONTENT+++++++++++++++++++</pre></div> now if if the admin clicks on mydiv he should be able to edit the pre contents. for this i got many options such as WYSIWYG editors (but they work on textboxs only and further more they cant save the data back to server replacing the previous content) then I came to know about Webparts , but its editing capabilities was so low that my plan for implementing a WYSIWYG editor went in vain. so I m seeking help from u all is their any way to achieve the motive, it would be better if u can suggest something like incorporating WYSIWYG into webpartmanager editor... THANKS..

  • Kaiden and the Arachnoid Cyst

    - by Martin Hinshelwood
    Some of you may remember when my son Kaiden was born I posted pictures of him and his sister. Kaiden is now 15 months old and is progressing perfectly in every area except that and we had been worried that he was not walking yet. We were only really concerned as his sister was walking at 8 months. Figure: Kai as his usual self   Jadie and I were concerned over that and that he had a rather large head (noggin) so we talked to various GP’s and our health visitor who immediately dismissed our concerns every time. That was until about two months ago when we happened to get a GP whose daughter had Hyper Mobility and she recognised the symptoms immediately. We were referred to the Southbank clinic who were lovely and the paediatrician confirmed that he had Hyper Mobility after testing all of his faculties. This just means that his joints are overly mobile and would need a little physiotherapy to help him out. At the end the paediatrician remarked offhand that he has a rather large head and wanted to measure it. Sure enough he was a good margin above the highest percentile mark for his height and weight. The paediatrician showed the measurements to a paediatric consultant who, as a precautionary measure, referred us for an MRI at Yorkhill Children's hospital. Now, Yorkhill has always been fantastic to us, and this was no exception. You know we have NEVER had a correct diagnosis for the kids (with the exception of the above) from a GP and indeed twice have been proscribed incorrect medication that made the kids sicker! We now always go strait to Yorkhill to save them having to fix GP mistakes as well. Monday 24th May, 7pm The scan went fantastically, with Kaiden sleeping in the MRI machine for all but 5 minutes at the end where he waited patiently for it to finish. We were not expecting anything to be wrong as this was just a precautionary scan to make sure that nothing in his head was affecting his gross motor skills. After the scan we were told to expect a call towards the end of the week… Tuesday 25th May, 12pm The very next day we got a call from Southbank who said that they has found an Arachnoid Cyst and could we come in the next day to see a Consultant and that Kai would need an operation. Wednesday 26th May, 12:30pm We went into the Southbank clinic and spoke to the paediatric consultant who assured us that it was operable but that it was taking up considerable space in Kai’s head. Cerebrospinal fluid is building up as a cyst is blocking the channels it uses to drain. Thankfully they told us that prospects were good and that Kai would expect to make a full recovery before showing us the MRI pictures. Figure: Normal brain MRI cross section. This normal scan shows the spaces in the middle of the brain that contain and produce the Cerebrospinal fluid. Figure: Normal Cerebrospinal Flow This fluid is needed by the brain but is drained in the middle down the spinal column. Figure: Kai’s cyst blocking the four channels. I do not think that I need to explain the difference between the healthy picture and Kai’s picture. However you can see in this first picture the faint outline of the cyst in the middle that is blocking the four channels from draining. After seeing the scans a Neurosurgeon has decided that he is not acute, but needs an operation to unblock the flow. Figure: OMFG! You can see in the second picture the effect of the build up of fluid. If I was not horrified by the first picture I was seriously horrified by this one. What next? Kai is not presenting the symptoms of vomiting or listlessness that would show an immediate problem and as such we will get an appointment to see the Paediatric Neurosurgeon at the Southern General hospital in about 4 weeks. This timescale is based on the Neurosurgeon seeing the scans. After that Kai will need an operation to release the pressure and either remove the cyst completely or put in a permanent shunt (tube from brain to stomach) to bypass the blockage. We have updated his notes for the referral with additional recent information on top of the scan that the consultant things will help improve the timescales, but that is just a guess.   All we can do now is wait and see, and be watchful for tell tail signs of listlessness, eye problems and vomiting that would signify a worsening of his condition.   Technorati Tags: Personal

  • Strategies to Defeat Memory Editors for Cheating - Desktop Games

    - by ashes999
    I'm assuming we're talking about desktop games -- something the player downloads and runs on their local computer. Many are the memory editors that allow you to detect and freeze values, like your player's health. How do you prevent cheating via memory-modifiation? What strategies are effective to combat this kind of cheating? For reference, I know that players can: - Search for something by value or range - Search for something that changed value - Set memory values - Freeze memory values I'm looking for some good ones. Two I use that are mediocre are: Displaying values as a percentage instead of the number (eg. 46/50 = 92% health) A low-level class that holds values in an array and moves them with each change. (For example, instead of an int, I have a class that's an array of ints, and whenever the value changes, I use a different, randomly-chosen array item to hold the value)

  • Are there non-programming related activities akin to solving programming problems ?

    - by julien
    I'm talking about particular activities, for which you can draw parallels with the specific kind of reasonning needed when solving programming problems. Counter examples are activities that would help in almost any situation, like : take a shower or any other, somewhat passive activities, which are only helpful in triggering this sort of asynchronous problem solving our brain does exercise, because you brain simply works better when you're fit EDIT : It seems this question was quite misunderstood. I wasn't asking about what you can do when stuck on a problem but rather, what kind of activities you have in you spare time that you think help you, more or less directly, solving programing problems.
