Can someone explain this to me? In particular the difference between:
http://github.com/whymirror/greg and http://piumarta.com/software/peg/
The former being a re-entrant version of the later.
Has anyone seen a recent (and fairly balanced) study into the relative costs for software development using differing languages ? I would particular like to see the relative costs of Java Vs. C# Vs. Delphi.
Hi All,
I have just taken over as manager at a company and at the moment they are very rigid in how they approach development. Everyone gets a list of what they are doing each week. My question is how does your company balance support with development and if an important support request comes in how is this processed without disturbing the flow of the developers?
Lastly, do you use an software log support requests and development tasks.
Thanks
I am currently upgrading our software to support ipv6 and in the meantime I'm expanding hostname/ip fields to the max hostname size. In sun documentation it seems like this can be up to 1025 (netdb.h:#define NI_MAXHOST 1025 - this is the recommended hostname allocation define), but when I pass a hostname of over 255 to getaddrinfo I get "getaddrinfo failed: memory allocation failure". I am testing on a Sol10 box. Ideas?
Hi,
I would like to upgrade my mac from 10.5.8 to Snow leopard 10.6. I searched around the google but didn't get any clear info from Apple sites. Is it possible? Are there any steps to follow this from Apple sites? Is there any possibility to do it without wiping the existing software and files?
Thank you. I appreciate your helps.
What solutions are there for working on a LaTeX document on both Windows and Linux?
It's a large document, and I will be working daily on both platforms so compatibility is essential if it's two different pieces of software.
Bonus points for a solution that includes easy previewing.
Does going to a less famous University that might not be terribly selective necessarily preclude someone from being considered from the elite software companies, i.e. Google or Microsoft regardless of my actual abilities? Furthermore how often do you find your alumni places a factor when looking for a job?
Thanks again for the responses.

Hello all,
I am trying to create a screen cast for my new web app. I have just come across a great example of a screencast and I am wondering what is used to do this: Click on the video to play on this page.
I am impressed with the animation when the mouse is clicked and zooming into images from different angles.
Is this done with Actionscript or is there software that will make my life easier to do this?
Thanks all for any help
Hi all
I'm currently investigating MEF to know the feasibility of some kind of plugin subsystem for a software we are writing at my company. One of the first questions that came to my mind is to know the influence of MEF components in the application load time.
Moreover, if that's something of significant weight, is it possible to load those components completely at runtime?
Thanks in advance

Is it possible that someone here could explain how to use this code. Please keep in mind i am a complete amateur, so simplifications may be needed.
Private Const cPGM = "C:\VB Forum\startup\Example.exe"
Dim oShell As IWshShell_Class
Set oShell = New IWshShell_Class
oShell.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\MyVBApp", _
cPGM, "REG_SZ"
How exactly is this code used? Is it saved as an .exe file and ran or what? Thanks for your prompt reply and informational feedback.

As I understand it GPL says you only have to distribute derivative code for works you distribute, i.e. if you develop internal software you can keep your code private.
What happens if you develop a server application, say like Facebook or StackOverflow? The server app is not 'distributed' so what's the situation with your code in this case?

There are a lot of good interview questions (even "puzzles") for software developers here on SO, but I was wondering if anyone had some good questions for a front-end developer position. We're looking for someone who knows HTML+CSS+JS.
Some of the obvious questions:
Have you worked with javascript libraries (which?)
Are you following the development of HTML5 and CSS3
Do you know any good "puzzles" for a front-end developer? Maybe a JS fizz-buzz?
I'm reading about Red Gate SQL Backup, and I liked the concept of creating a database backup compressed and writing on disk the compressed backup directly without an intermediate SQL Server native backup.
And I'm wondering how this type of software make backups. It accesses the database files directly? It uses some sort of SQL Server or Windows API? Windows Shadow Copy?
hi,
I have an XML file which I'd like to query (read/write) in the same way as I would a relational database. Performance is not a big issue, I just want to be able to load the file and start querying, preferably without having to define a schema. Does anyone know if such software exists?
