Recently, i found out that it seems to me like a good part of the "administratives" tend to close "issues" in their bug- and issue-tracking systems with the reason that they don't fit in "their next release".
One example for that can be found here: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/640440/c-projects-add-option-to-remove-unused-references
Because i fear that i've got a fundamental lack of understanding for this approach, i'm wondering if someone can point me to informations which could give some insight in the rationales behind such processes.
If I have systems that are based on realtime data, how can I ensure that all the information that is current is redundantly stored in a file? So that when the program starts again, it uses this information to initialize itself back to where it was when it closed.
I know of xstream and HSQLDB. but wasn't sure if this was the best option for data that needs to be a literal carbon copy.
Is there any framework or tool to generate web services (WCF) access to all the non transactional tables in my database? something like asp.net dynamic data but with web services, I need to do this for homologation with other systems.
I was asked by an interviewer today how I would implement Arabic as a second language into a PHP web application. I talked about choosing a unicode encoding for the database and the front-end, and designing RTL friendly user interface modules. And he didn't seem too happy with the answer. I don't really know anything about multi-lingual systems, how would you have answered that question?
I can, on some of my systems, get my IP address (192.68.m.n format) by doing this:
addr = IPSocket::getAddress(Socket.gethostname())
...the trouble is that this only works if the name the local machine uses for itself is the name the DNS server associates with it.
How *&#( hard can it be for ruby to just return its primary interface's IP address? I have to do this in a platform-independant way or I'd just call ifconfig or ipconfig and parse it.
While i'm sure i can write a CRON to do this and some how open the ports on a network hd in my house, to be honest i'd rather spend a bit of money on some good software with a nice visual interface!
are there any such all-in-one server backup systems?
nightly backups of the MYSQL db
weekly backups of entire site (images etc)
my server is a VPS hosted by https://www.memset.com.
I've made a global authentication via WCF to use with the most of our systems, but found that load data via WCF not very so fast.
What I need to do now is verify every time that the page is loading if the user has access granted to that page....
Its a good pratice to go back in WCF request this info for every page that the user access?This will not slow down my entire system?
Hi,
I want to learn C , UNIX and LINUX, and more about embedded systems. Very much interested in them. Are there any online courses or websites which can guide me. And please suggest books to read in learning them.
Thanks for your time.
I have a Rails forum product that resides under the subdomains of my customers (i.e. http://forum.customer.com). Their main site has a CMS and an authentication system, and my forum product has a separate authentication system. Is there an elegant way to have "cross-signins" across these systems? I want someone already logged into the main CMS to seamlessly (as possible) transition into my product.
I've been using Subversion for a few years and after using SourceSafe, I just love Subversion. Combined with TortoiseSVN, I can't really imagine how it could be any better. Yet there's a growing number of developers claiming that Subversion has problems and that we should be moving to the new breed of distributed version control systems, such as Git. Can anyone explain how Git improves upon Subversion?
Hello,
I'm trying to start an application using Python. I've seen that some people use startfile but I also read that it only works with Windows. I'm using Mac systems and hoping for it to work with them.
Thanks,

Hello,
I'm looking for some easy to use cross-platform threading library written in C or C++.
What's your opinion on boost::thread or Pthreads?
Does Pthreads run only on POSIX compliant systems?
What about the threading support in the Qt library?
Thanks for any hints.
I'm looking for in-depth reference books / guides in PHP, MySQL, and Unix. I'm aware there other other questions pertaining to good books for short references of function names, or detailed beginner guides to these systems. I'm looking for something different. I want a book that I can either use as a quick but in-depth (decent write up, not a pocket reference guide) reference to common functions (JOINS, string manipulation, Regular Expressions, etc) while also providing a detailed inner workings explanation on the system itself.
When putting together a startup for Software Engineering web based applications/systems, what would you consider to be a good mix of talent, when trying to find partners?
This mix would involve defining the product and market, defining, implementing and validating requirements, and making the product polished and production ready.
And, of course, needing the fewest startup people as possible.
I want to make an easy to deploy Windows application and was was wondering which programming systems can create totally self contained Windows .exe files?
As a plus, if the same can be done with MacOSX and Linux from the same source this would be a bonus. I took a look at Realbasic but they have since abandoned the single .exe concept.
I'm deploying a small conversion tool on some systems, and want the users to be able to run it from the right click Open with menu. But I don't want to change the default program users have associated to this file type.
It is easy to associate a file extension/type to a program, but how to do it without changing the default program?
I've been experimenting with GrooveHQ as a means to provide support to my clients. They have a very nice idea and have developed it beautifully. At the end is just a ticketing system with multiple channels to communicate with your clients. It is like the rt of our times.
What I'm looking for is for other providers of this hosted multi channel ticketing systems. I'm not sure if this belongs in SO but hey...
Hi,
I am using axWnidowsMediaPlayer in my windows mobile application with compact framework 3.5 .
It was working beautifully few days ago but now whenever i try to play a song from url it shows the message
"Can not play the file.The file is either corrupted or the player does not support the format you are playing"
The same url is not played by the phone's wmplayer also but when I try to play it with the systems wmplayer it plays the same url successfully.
I've got two systems, one with Windows XP and another with 7, both running Firefox 3.6, the same version of Selenium RC and the newest nunit.
When I run tests on 7, it is executed extremely slowly (I mean walking by textbox and setting its values), but when I execute this script on Windows XP it is extremely fast.
Do you have the same experience? Do you know what the problem might be?
Is there an API or anything to help build an application around the instant messaging capabilities of Live Messenger and others?
What tools and systems could a developer leverage to help launch such functionality in their application?
I´m just starting iPhone development with a small team of (really young and naive) colleagues, we all are fairly new to OS X, my question is:
If we are planning to develop for every iPod Touch/iPhone out there (not the iPad, I read that thing requires Snow Leopard), what problems will we encounter when sharing code (and making commits) if we all have a combination of Leopard and Snow Leopard systems?
Since Java 7 is comming I was wondering how much time it would take to have the IBM JVM running Java 7 on IBM i systems? (AS400)
I was searching IBM's site to find some roadmap but didn't find anything yet.
Do you have past experience on the older java release?
Hi,
I'm working with an OCR project which is developed using Visual C++ on .net framework.
But since the .net is platform dependent I want to make this project platform independent and make it supports to multiple operating systems.
So can some one give me a hint to how to do it.
Thanks.
I'm 15 and have just started using source control systems to manage my code a little better, so I'm a little new to this stuff. Right now I have this repository:
[a]---[b]---[d]---[f] master
\
\
[c]---[e] develop
I want to wind up here:
[a]---[b]---[d]---[f]---[g] master
\ /
\ /
[c]---[e]---/ develop
where g is equivalent to performing commits [c] and [e] on [f]. This is git checkout master; git merge develop, right?
