The problem:
You have some data and your program needs specified input. For example strings which are numbers. You are searching for a way to transform the original data in a format you need.
And the problem is: The source can be anything. It can be XML, property lists, binary which
contains the needed data deeply embedded in binary junk. And your…
I got this great idea that I'm thinking about implementing, but before I go into the deep end I wanted to get a clue about what options I have.
I'm looking for an open source, programmable video player.
Must:
Play video files from a user's computer not a server

Question:
Is there any such thing as a programming language (other than an esoteric language such as BrainF@#$, or the languages PHP or VB) that you can "compile" into non-obfuscated PHP source code?
Rationale:
Swip wants to generate ordinary PHP code because it is so ubiquitous for the types of projects swip wants to do. Unfortunately…
is it possible to someone to invent a new programming language in his native language , and if it possible
how to do that and what the tools he need to write compiler for it .
thanks .
Hi everyone,
I'm fighting with socket programming now and I've encountered a problem, which I don't know how to solve in a portable way.
The task is simple : I need to send the array of 16 bytes over the network, receive it in a client application and parse it. I know, there are functions like htonl, htons and so one to use with uint16…
I've been coding for a few years now, nothing too complicated. C++ is what i know best. I recently stumbled into Paul Graham's site, coding horror and now here.
What do i learn to 'enlighten myself with the ways' of functional programming?
I know PHP 5 has some object oriented similarities but it's not a true OOP environment still right? Also does it have a true compiler? I see compiling of scripts which still means procedural. I assume it's not a real compiler in that any PHP compilers out there do not create assemblies?
I am experiencing a weird problem. I was running Xubuntu on my laptop until yesterday that I had to delete Xubuntu and install Windows.
I had a NTFS partition on my Xubuntu that I kept some files on it. Today after installing windows I wanted to move all the files from that partition to an external HDD. I selected all files and folders…
I am learning Objective-C using Stephen Kochan's excellent book "Programming in Objective-C 2.0". I am new also to Xcode. So far all my exercises have worked fine, but when I run program 7.6 FractionTest on page 153 I get the console message "Program received signal: "EXC_ARITHMETIC". The status shows that the program succeeded, but I…
I'm interesting in evolutionary algorithms. I have tested genetic algorithms with R but has someone tried with genetic programming? Do you know, if there are code somewhere written in R.
What would be a good choice of programming language in which to implement a decision tree? The results of the implementation will be for personal use only, so no need to consider ability to publish etc.
I have heard that Octave is a good option, can anyone explain why a matrix based language is recommended for implementing decision…
I'm programming in Java using a French machine with an AZERTY keybord. I like to type text with a certain character, the colon, test: hello. When I launch the test, only test is displayed. Are there ways in Java to convert the colon : to the QWERTY equivalent?
I'm curious about why early versions of the BASIC programming language had line numbering like in:
42 PRINT "Hello world!"
The text editors back then had no line numbering?
Based on the link below, I'm confused as to whether the Lua programming language supports Unicode.

It appears it does but has limitations. I simply don't understand, are the limitation anything big/key or not a big deal?
I am programming a process monitoring tool which is written in C++, windows application. Is there anyway to send out alert email when the tool find the process go down? Any library support this? or any solution is fine. Thanks.
I've ran into a issue with my computer that it does no longer reach POST, but simply powers on for a fraction of a second and powers off. But this is not always, some times it boots just normally and it works as it should, no issues with not enough power or anything. But as soon as I turn it of, I can not turn it back on, but then…
Please, would you help me in reminding me of one of the simplest parallel programming techniques.
How do I do the following in C#:
Initial state:
semaphore counter = 0
Thread 1:
// Block until semaphore is signalled
semaphore.Wait(); // wait until semaphore counter is 1
Thread 2:
// Allow thread 1 to run:…
I was just wondering, what could possibly be the largest amout of code possible to write a Hello, World! program, without repeating code, without any whitespace, as few newlines as possible, whitout code that doesn't need to be there, and not written in 'Shakespeare'?
Programming language doesn't matter ^^
Hello,
I am trying to understand what is a chain matrix multiplication and how it is different from a regular multiplication. I have checked several sourcers yet all seem to be very academically explained for me to understand.
I guess it is a form of dynamic programming algorithm to achieve the operation in an…
Hi, I am a C++ / Java programmer and the main paradigm I happen to use in everyday programming is OOP. In some thread I read a comment that Type classes are more intuitive in nature than OOP. Can someone explain the concept of type classes in simple words so that an OOP guy like me can understand it?
Is there any really low level programming language that can get access the memory variable directly? For example, if I have a programme have a variable i. Can anyone access the memory to change my programme variable i to another value?
In the context of functional programming which is the correct term to use: persistent or immutable? When I Google "immutable data structures" I get a Wikipedia link to an article on "Persistent data structure" which even goes on to say:
such data structures are effectively
immutable
Which further…
