  CSS isn't, insofar as I know, Turing complete. But my knowledge of CSS is very limited. Is CSS Turing complete? Are any of the existing draft or committees considering language features that might enable Turing completeness if it isn't right now?

• C# memory management: unsafe keyword and pointers

  - by Alerty

  What are the consequences (positive/negative) of using the unsafe keyword in C# to use pointers? For example, what becomes of garbage collection, what are the performance gains/losses, what are the performance gains/losses compared to other languages manual memory management, what are the dangers, in which situation is it really justifiable to make use of this language feature... ?

• Casting an object to two interfaces at the same time, to call a generic method

  - by Bruno Martinez

  I want to call a generic method that constrains the input type T to implement two interfaces: interface IA { } interface IB { } void foo<T>(T t) where T : IA, IB { } How can I fix the last line of void bar(object obj) { if (obj is IA && obj is IB) { foo((IA && IB)obj); } } ? Reflection probably allows to do the call, but I would like to stay within the language.

• Why aren't c# programmers drawn to ruby as java programmers are

  - by simplyme

  This is a trend I've noticed. There is a very large adoption of ruby from the java community. Is it that c# is such an awesome language + having good tools over java that most c# developers aren't as keen to switching to ruby permanently as java developers are? What are your opinions?

• Sequence reduction in R

  - by drknexus

  Assume you have a vector like so: v <- c(1,1,1,2,2,2,2,1,1,3,3,3,3) How can it be best reduced to a data.frame like this? v.df <- data.frame(value=c(1,2,1,3),repetitions=c(3,4,2,4)) In a procedural language I might just iterate through a loop and build the data.frame as I go, but with a large dataset in R such an approach is inefficient. Any advice?

• Django custom locale directory

  - by valya

  I'm developing a project with two different sites, divided by language. Maybe I was terribly wrong, but now my directory structure looks like: /ruapp/settings.py # SITE_ID = 1 /ruapp/manage.py /enapp/settings.py # SITE_ID = 2 /enapp/manage.py /common/urls.py /common/ # almost every other file /common/templates/ # templates with {% trans %} /locale/ # with locales ru-ru and en-us, generated by calling makemessages from the root of all this structure How to tell django about the locale? It does not seem like it will find the /locale/ folder by itself

• indentation preference and personality

  - by dreftymac

  This question is similar in spirit to : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/492178/links-between-personality-types-and-language-technology-preferences But it is based specifically on indentation (spaces vs tabs and the number of spaces). The reason I am asking here instead of searching is because I remember seeing a specific document writing about this. If I remember correctly, it also talked about why Linus prefers eight spaces.

  - by Zignd

  I just started studying Python using the Python 3.2 Tutorial and on the introduction is written: By the way, the language is named after the BBC show “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” and has nothing to do with reptiles. Making references to Monty Python skits in documentation is not only allowed, it is encouraged! But I have to say that I did not understood this part: “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”, I'm Brazilian and even Google Translator don't know how to answer it. Can someone explain me this phrase?

• Breaking a concave polygon into convex ones.

  - by Bart van Heukelom

  I'm using a game physics library (Box2D) which only supports convex polygon shapes. However, I'd like the level builder to be able to just specify concave polygons without having to worry about that. So, how can I automatically break apart a concave polygon into convex ones (or even all triangles). Speed would be cool, but ease of implementation is more important. The breaking apart will only be done on game initialization. (My language is Flash/ActionScript 3, but that shouldn't matter)

• Initialize byte array from a portion of existing byte array c#

  - by volody

  Is there are an easy way to initialize byte array from portion of existing byte array. In C language it is possible to use pointer to say like char s[10] = new char[10]; char* b = s + 5; Is it possible to do that in c#, like: byte[] b = new byte[buffersize]; byte* header = b + 5; byte* data = b + 25;

  After updating to Parsec 3.1 from 2.x, code using many1, such as word = many1 letter fails with No instance for (Stream s m Char) arising from a use of `letter' I found a mailing list post claiming that adding {-#LANGUAGE NoMonomorphismRestriction #-} to the top of the source file would solve the problem, but it did not.

• Fastest way to calculate a 128-bit integer modulo a 64-bit integer

  - by Paul Baker

  I have a 128-bit unsigned integer A and a 64-bit unsigned integer B. What's the fastest way to calculate A % B - that is the (64-bit) remainder from dividing A by B? I'm looking to do this in either C or assembly language, but I need to target the 32-bit x86 platform. This unfortunately means that I cannot take advantage of compiler support for 128-bit integers, nor of the x64 architecture's ability to perform the required operation in a single instruction.

• Why did Dylan loose to Objective-C

  - by Adam Gent

  I have played/worked with many different programming languages and Dylan is still one of my favorites. My question is why did Dylan fail when Objective-C, Ruby and even Scheme have had more success? Was Dylans performance that much worse than Objective-C that Apple went with it or was purely for social/political reasons. Hopefully someone from apple will see this question :) BTW if you have no idea what Dylan is please google Dylan Progrmaming Language.

• Are there people using scheme out there?

  - by Nick

  Hey, I have just started to study computer sciences at the university where they teach us programming in scheme. Since i have learned c++ for the last 6 years, scheme appears a little odd to me. But they tell me you can write any program you can write in C or Java with it. Is anybody really using this language?

  - by mxn 4000

  Could anyone please tell me which HTML/XHTML and CSS versions reached "Recommendation" (not "Candidate Recommendation") status? I tried to find the documents at http://www.w3.org/TR/tr-status-stds and they appear to be: 1) "XHTML™ 1.0 The Extensible HyperText Markup Language (Second Edition)" 2) "Cascading Style Sheets (CSS1) Level 1 Specification" Please correct me if I'm wrong. These are kinda neanderthal technologies...
