• SOFT delete is this a good idea or a bad idea?

  - by Khou

  Is soft delete a good idea or a bad idea? Instead of actually deleting the data, you would flag it as "IsDeleted" = true, upon recovery you just flag it as "False". Is this a good idea?

• Any software for pattern-matching and -rewriting source code?

  - by Steven A. Lowe

  I have some old software (in a language that's not dead but is dead to me ;-)) that implements a basic pattern-matching and -rewriting system for source code. I am considering resurrecting this code, translating it into a modern language, and open-sourcing the project as a refactoring power-tool. Before I go much further, I want to know if anything like this exists already (my google-fu is fanning air on this tonight). Here's how it works: the pattern-matching part matches source-code patterns spanning multiple lines of code using a template with binding variables, the pattern-rewriting part uses a template to rewrite the matched code, inserting the contents of the bound variables from the matching template matching and rewriting templates are associated (1:1) by a simple (unconditional) rewrite rule the software operates on the abstract syntax tree (AST) of the input application, and outputs a modified AST which can then be regenerated into new source code for example, suppose we find a bunch of while-loops that really should be for-loops. The following template will match the while-loop pattern: Template oldLoopPtrn int @cnt@ = 0; while (@cnt@ < @max@) { … @body@ ++@cnt@; } End_Template while the following template will specify the output rewrite pattern: Template newLoopPtrn for(int @cnt@ = 0; @cnt@ < @max@; @cnt@++) { @body@ } End_Template and a simple rule to associate them Rule oldLoopPtrn --> newLoopPtrn so code that looks like this int i=0; while(i<arrlen) { printf("element %d: %f\n",i,arr[i]); ++i; } gets automatically rewritten to look like this for(int i = 0; i < arrlen; i++) { printf("element %d: %f\n",i,arr[i]); } The closest thing I've seen like this is some of the code-refactoring tools, but they seem to be geared towards interactive rewriting of selected snippets, not wholesale automated changes. I believe that this kind of tool could supercharge refactoring, and would work on multiple languages (even HTML/CSS). I also believe that converting and polishing the code base would be a huge project that I simply cannot do alone in any reasonable amount of time. So, anything like this out there already? If not, any obvious features (besides rewrite-rule conditions) to consider? EDIT: The one feature of this system that I like very much is that the template patterns are fairly obvious and easy to read because they're written in the same language as the target source code, not in some esoteric mutated regex/BNF format.

• What does JSLint's "Bad Escapement" mean in this case?

  - by karlthorwald

  I thougth "bad escapement" stands for wrong use escaping with slash. Why does JSLint bring up the message in this function on the 3d line (for...) ? function splitTags(commaSeparated) { var tagArray = commaSeparated.split(','); for (var i=tagArray.length - 1; i>=0; --i ){ tagArray[i] = f.trim(tagArray[i]); } return tagArray; }

• split a database web application - good idea or bad idea?

  - by Khou

  Is it a bad idea to split up a application and the database? Application1 uses database1 on ServerX Application2 uses database2 on ServerY Both application communicates over web service API, they are apart of the same application, one application is used to manage user's profile/personal data, while the other application is used to manages user's financial data. Or should just put them together and just use 1 database on the same server?

• Why do I get a "Bad Gateway" error with my Perl CGI program on IIS?

  - by Eyla

  I'm trying to run sample Perl script on Windows 7 and I configured IIS 7 to allow ActivePerl to run but I'm getting this error: HTTP Error 502.2 - Bad Gateway The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are "Hello World. ". Module CgiModule Notification ExecuteRequestHandler Handler Perl Script (PL) Error Code 0x00000000 Requested URL http://localhost:80/hello.pl Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\hello.pl Logon Method Anonymous Logon User Anonymous and here is my Perl script: #!/usr/bin/perl print "Hello World.\n";

• Extension Methods - IsNull and IsNotNull, good or bad use?

  - by Jaimal Chohan

  I like readability. So, I came up with an extension mothod a few minutes ago for the (x =! null) type syntax, called IsNotNull. Inversly, I also created a IsNull extension method, thus if(x == null) becomes if(x.IsNull()) and if(x != null) becomes if(x.IsNotNull()) However, I'm worried I might be abusing extension methods. Do you think that this is bad use of Extenion methods?

• How to precompile WCF code and then host it on IIS ?

  - by Attilah

  How do you precompile WCF code so that the WCF code can't be seen by anyone who has access to the WCF code. it's possible to this with ASP.NET code by using the "precompilation" feature. basically, what the precompilation feature does is enable the developper to deploy "binaries" to IIS instead of a folder containing source code. can this be done with WCF too ?

• Is it bad practice to use multi-dimensional arrays in C/C++?

  - by Maulrus

  Some programmers seem to violently hate them, while others seem to think they're fine. I know that anything that can be done to a multi-dimensional array can also be done to a regular array, so they're functionally equivalent. Is it bad practice to use multi-dimensional arrays, or does it not matter?

• Is it bad to explicitly compare against boolean constants e.g. if (b == false) in Java?

  - by polygenelubricants

  Is it bad to write: if (b == false) //... while (b != true) //... Is it always better to instead write: if (!b) //... while (!b) //... Presumably there is no difference in performance (or is there?), but how do you weigh the explicitness, the conciseness, the clarity, the readability, etc between the two? Note: the variable name b is just used as an example, ala foo and bar.

• When, if ever, is "number of lines of code" a useful metric?

  - by user15071

  Some people claim that code's worst enemy is its size, and I tend to agree. Yet every day you keep hearing things like I write blah lines of code in a day. I own x lines of code. Windows is x million lines of code. Question: When is "#lines of code" useful? ps: Note that when such statements are made, the tone is "more is better".

• Ember-App-Kit: How to execute code only in release mode?

  - by Dominik Schmidt

  I have created an error handler as described here: http://emberjs.com/guides/understanding-ember/debugging/#toc_implement-a-code-ember-onerror-code-hook-to-log-all-errors-in-production But this code is not only executed in production mode but also in normal debug builds which floods my server logs. I know that Ember.debug() calls and alike are being filtered out for production builds, but I couldn't find out where/how that is implemented and if that same mechanism could be used to make my code only fire in production code.

• Is this c# return statement good/bad in terms of performance?

  - by Pandiya Chendur

  My static method returns the following concatenated string like this return (Sb.ToString() + " " + ds.Tables[1].Rows[0].ItemArray[0].ToString() + " " + ds.Tables[2].Rows[0].ItemArray[0].ToString()); Is this a good/bad practise or should i use stringbuilder for it....

• Is it bad to use a model directly from a view in codeigniter?

  - by jason

  I know normally the data is passed thru to the view with the controller. however, currently in my view I load my model ($this-load-model('Db_model');) so i can use it in a loop to retrieve a users profile picture path from a array of IDs that is passed from controller. Will loading the db model in the view to accomplish this make my site more vulnerable or bad form? To me it seems to be outside of MVC concept but its working atm. thanks

• What's the most popular compiler, and what's so bad about MSVS? [closed]

  - by Russel

  Hello, I've been using MS Visual Studio for a lot of projects, but I notice a lot of people here like to complain about Microsoft and Visual Studio. So I'm wondering, what does everyone use? Dev-C++? mingw? What is popular? Also, what is bad about MSVS? What is "better" about the others? Thanks! --RKL

• How can I serve up color-coded Java code using PHP?

  - by Eric

  I'd like to embed code from my SVN repository into my website, using PHP. The SVN has public anonymous access, so the PHP code should be fine reading it. The code on said SVN is java, and so far I've had no luck finding a syntax-highlighter to make the code more readable. Ideally I'd like one that uses CSS classes so that I can change the colors to match the look of the website. Could someone point me to a PHP library that highlights Java code?

• Is it bad to have a non-clustered index that contains the primary key from the clustered index?

  If you have a table with a clustered index on the Primary Key (int), is it redundant and bad to have one (ore more) non-clustered indexes that include that primary key column as one of the columns in the non-clustered index?

• Is a string formatter that pulls variables from its calling scope bad practice?

  - by Eric

  I have some code that does an awful lot of string formatting, Often, I end up with code along the lines of: "...".format(x=x, y=y, z=z, foo=foo, ...) Where I'm trying to interpolate a large number of variables into a large string. Is there a good reason not to write a function like this that uses the inspect module to find variables to interpolate? import inspect def interpolate(s): return s.format(**inspect.currentframe().f_back.f_locals) def generateTheString(x): y = foo(x) z = x + y # more calculations go here return interpolate("{x}, {y}, {z}")

• What kind of bad things would happen if you write the whole class in a single file in C++?

  - by gilbertc

  In C# or Java, class are declared and defined at the same time. In C++, the norm is to write .h and .cpp files separately. What if, we write the whole class in one , say .cpp, file and include that with include guards and stuffs in files that references to it, what kinds of bad thing technically would happen?

• Is it possible to control Visual Studio exception handling from the debugged code itself?

  - by mark

  Dear ladies and sirs. I am wondering if it is possible to control the Visual Studio exception handling options from the code itself. For instance, I would like to turn off stopping on FCE for a certain piece of code, that generates many FCE, however, I would like it to be active for all the other code. Is it possible to do it from code? Something like this: visualStudio.DoNotStopOnFCE() try { // some code generating many FCE } catch {} visualStudio.StopOnFCE() Thanks.

• I need to change a zip code into a series of dots and dashes (a barcode), but I can't figure out how

  - by Maggie

  Here's what I've got so far: def encodeFive(zip): zero = "||:::" one = ":::||" two = "::|:|" three = "::||:" four = ":|::|" five = ":|:|:" six = ":||::" seven = "|:::|" eight = "|::|:" nine = "|:|::" codeList = [zero,one,two,three,four,five,six,seven,eight,nine] allCodes = zero+one+two+three+four+five+six+seven+eight+nine code = "" digits = str(zip) for i in digits: code = code + i return code With this I'll get the original zip code in a string, but none of the numbers are encoded into the barcode. I've figured out how to encode one number, but it wont work the same way with five numbers.

• Is it bad practice to not assign a new object to a variable?

  - by Jeff

  Is it bad javascript practice to not assign a newly created object to a variable if you're never going to access it? For example: for(var i=0;i<links.length;i++){ new objectName(links[i]); } And again, I won't be accessing it, so there's no need for a variable to reference it.
