• Delphi and Outlook TaskItem: How to know if DueDate is empty?

  - by Steve

  This seems like a no-brainer but I couldn't find anything on it. How do I detect if a date variant in Outlook is "empty"? For example TaskItem.DueDate - the duedate is not necessarily filled. If it's not filled Outlook returns "4501.01.01." - I can test for this value, but this just doesn't seem "elegant" enough. Thanks!

• Rewriting simple C# nested class

  - by Daniel

  What would be an elegant way to implement the functionality of this nested class in F#? private class Aliaser { private int _count; internal Aliaser() { } internal string GetNextAlias() { return "t" + (_count++).ToString(); } } This was my first attempt, but it feels like there should be a sexy one-liner for this: let aliases = (Seq.initInfinite (sprintf "t%d")).GetEnumerator() let getNextAlias() = aliases.MoveNext() |> ignore aliases.Current

• Why should I use a thread vs using a process?

  - by danmine

  I'm a newbie at this so please forgive me for my ignorance. Separating different parts of a program into different processes seems (to me) to make a more elegant program then just threading everything. In what scenario would it make sense to make things run on a thread vs separating the program into different processes? When should I use a thread? Edit: Anything on how (or if) they act differently with single core and multi core would also be helpful.

• Restrict a number to upper/lower bounds?

  - by Amy

  Is there a built-in way or a more elegant way of restricting a number num to upper/lower bounds in Ruby or in Rails? e.g. something like: def number_bounded (num, lower_bound, upper_bound) return lower_bound if num < lower_bound return upper_bound if num > upper_bound num end

• SQL: how to get all the distinct characters in a column, across all rows

  - by frankadelic

  Is there an elegant way in SQL Server to find all the distinct characters in a single varchar(50) column, across all rows? Bonus points if it can be done without cursors :) For example, say my data contains 3 rows: productname ----------- product1 widget2 nicknack3 The distinct inventory of characters would be "productwigenka123"

• Where can I find a jQuery article rotator / carousel / slider?

  - by Steven

  I want to make an article rotator similar to http://www.vmagazine.com/ And I want to use jQuery. I know there are carousels like jCarousel and jQuery Carousel. There is also the Coda-Slider, but I don't fint it very elegant. Can anyone suggest a good jQuery method / script for having an article carousel? I don't want to use MooTools, Prototype etc. since I'm already using jQuery. Any suggestions anyone?

• How to make every Class Method call a specified method before execution?

  - by norm

  I want to make my Python Class behave in such a way that when any Class method is called a default method is executed first without explicitly specifying this in the called Class. An example may help :) Class animals: def _internalMethod(): self.respires = True def cat(): self._internalMethod() self.name = 'cat' def dog(): self._internalMethod() self.name = 'dog' I want _internalMethod() to be called automatically when any method is called from an instance of animals, rather than stating it explicitly in the def of each method. Is there an elegant way to do this? Cheers,

• Regex to match anything (including the empty string) except a specific given string.

  - by dreeves

  I'd like to test whether a string contains "Kansas" followed by anything other than " State". Examples: "I am from Kansas" true "Kansas State is great" false "Kansas is a state" true "Kansas Kansas State" true "KansasState" true (For my immediate purposes this should work with mysql's REGEXP but if there's a more elegant way using PCRE, I'd like to see that too.)

• Swapping switch-case in extra fle/data structure (Java)

  - by poeschlorn

  Hi guys, it may be a nooby question, but I've never needed it before: I have several strings and I want to compare them to given ones... At first glance it would lead to a switch/case construction in what every available entry is checked. Is there a more elegant way to swap those strings as key/value datas? greets, poeschlorn

• Refactoring nested foreach statement

  - by dotnetdev

  Hi, I have a method with a nested foreach collection (iterate a set of objects and then look inside each object). I saw in a book a good pattern to make this much more elegant but cannot remember/find the code example. How else could I make this more tidy? The code is just a typical nested foreach statement so I have not provided a code sample. Thanks

• Get random enum from a select group

  - by Coward

  Given a group of about 20 enums that I cannot modify. Im looking for an elegant solution to generate a random enum from a specific sample (ie, 2, 7, 18) I could put these into an arraylist, but thought I would ask if there is something else I could try.

• php read CSV with various amount of delimiters

  - by jreed121

  I've got a script that reads in from a CSV file and sometimes the CSV files it receives contains an uneven amount of delimiters/columns so the first row could have 30 columns, the 2nd could have 20, etc. I can think of a few solutions myself ie: Count the delimiters in the widest row, then append the proper amount to each row that is short to make them even. But I was wondering if anyone had a more elegant method of doing this.

• Is there a better way to write the find_messages_by_slug_or_404 method?

  - by J. Pablo Fernández

  In my messages_controller I have the following private method: def find_message_or_404(slug) message = user.messages.find_by_slug(slug) if message.nil? raise Error404 end message end I find it not elegant and not very Rubist. Is there a way to improve it?

• How do I declare a constructor for an 'object' class type in Scala? I.e., a one time operation for the singleton.

  - by Zack

  I know that objects are treated pretty much like singletons in scala. However, I have been unable to find an elegant way to specify default behavior on initial instantiation. I can accomplish this by just putting code into the body of the object declaration but this seems overly hacky. Using an apply doesn't really work because it can be called multiple times and doesn't really make sense for this use case. Any ideas on how to do this?

• ResizeEvent Looping?

  - by user309235

  Hello all, I am having an issue with an actionscript event that I am firing every time a flex componenet resizes. In the event, I am altering the height of the component (adding a bit of a buffer), which causes the event to loop in upon itself and continually add height to the component. Is there an elegant way to have this event only fire once?

• Live Updating Widget for 100+ concurrent users

  - by flavio87

  Hi there what would you use if you had to have a div box on your website that would have to be updated constantly with new HTML content from the server. simple polling is probably not very resource inefficient - imagine also having 10'000 users and the div has to update. what is the most efficient or elegant solution for such a problem? are there existing widgets which contain this "autoupdate" functionality?

• Waiting for a subset of threads in a Java ThreadPool

  - by David Semeria

  Let's say I have a thread pool containing X items, and a given task employs Y of these items (where Y is much smaller than X). I want to wait for all of the threads of a given task (Y items) to finish, not the entire thread pool. If the thread pool's execute() method returned a reference to the employed thread I could simply join() to each of these Y threads, but it doesn't. Does anyone know of an elegant way to accomplish this? Thanks.

• Event when the user changes font size in browser?

  - by Christian

  I need to get informed when the user changes the font size in it's browser. I need it to reposition some elements which have to be relative in one dimension to an anchor inside a text. So far i haven't found anything and i'm a bit worried that it's not possible. In this case it should be possible to emulate it with a hidden div and some text inside and a script polling for changes of it's width. But i hope someone has a more elegant solution.

• merging indexed array in Python

  - by leon

  Suppose that I have two numpy arrays of the form x = [[1,2] [2,4] [3,6] [4,NaN] [5,10]] y = [[0,-5] [1,0] [2,5] [5,20] [6,25]] is there an efficient way to merge them such that I have xmy = [[0, NaN, -5 ] [1, 2, 0 ] [2, 4, 5 ] [3, 6, NaN] [4, NaN, NaN] [5, 10, 20 ] [6, NaN, 25 ] I can implement a simple function using search to find the index but this is not elegant and potentially inefficient for a lot of arrays and large dimensions. Any pointer is appreciated.

• A comprehensive regex for phone number validation

  - by Nicholas Trandem

  I'm trying to put together a comprehensive regex to validate phone numbers. Ideally it would handle international formats, but it must handle US formats, including the following: 1-234-567-8901 1-234-567-8901 x1234 1-234-567-8901 ext1234 1 (234) 567-8901 1.234.567.8901 1/234/567/8901 12345678901 I'll answer with my current attempt, but I'm hoping somebody has something better and/or more elegant.

• Char * reallocation in C++

  - by JTom

  Hi, I need to store a certain amount of data in the "char *" in C++, because I want to avoid std::string to run out of memory, when exceeding max_size(). But the data comes in data blocks from the network so I need to use reallocation every time I get the data block. Is there any elegant solution for char * reallocation and concatenation in C++?

• C++ shared objets

  - by Klaus

  Hello, I have got four classes A, B, C and D. Class A has a member b of class B. Class B has a member c of class C. A has a member D* dpointer; This hierarchy has to be preserved (in fact this is a GUI with app, window, panel as A, B and C). Now B and C must use a method from *dpointer. Is there something more elegant than giving dpointer as a member of B and C ?
