Why are there different programming languages [closed]

- by Velizar Hristov

I'm not asking about the usefulness of the languages that do exist already: I already know, and agree, that different languages are better for different purposes. However, why don't they just have a single language that can do it all? Why, when C# was created, they didn't keep everything from C and C++ and just add a few things, so that it can be used as both a low-level and high-level language? I see no harm in adding all kinds of commands to a single language that would allow it to be good for everything, and even eliminate the need for all other languages. Someone from another thread said that if there's a flaw in a certain language, its successor might not have it. However, why don't we just update that language to remove the flaw, and/or add anything that's missing? Arrays are different in Java and C#, but why not have them both, just use different commands for them? And so on...

Creating shooting arrow class [on hold]

- by I.Hristov

OK I am trying to write an XNA game with one controllable by the player entity, while the rest are bots (enemy and friendly) wondering around and... shooting each other from range. Now the shooting I suppose should be done with a separate class Arrow (for example). The resulting object would be the arrow appearing on screen moving from shooting entity to target entity. When target is reached arrow is no longer active, probably removed from the list. I plan to make a class with fields: Vector2 shootingEntity; Vector2 targetEntity; float arrowSpeed; float arrowAttackSpeed; int damageDone; bool isActive; Then when enemy entities get closer than a int rangeToShoot (which each entity will have as a field/prop) I plan to make a list of arrows emerging from each entity and going to the closest opposite one. I wonder if that logic will enable me later to make possible many entities to be able to shoot independently at different enemy entities at the same time. I know the question is broad but it would be wise to ask if the foundations of the idea are correct.

How much do they study in the best universities, relative to the other universities?

- by Velizar Hristov

In my university, our total required weekly attendance (for lectures and tutorials/similar) is about 12 hours. It was like that in the first year, and then everything required extremely little effort - I believe that if I invested as much efforts as someone who is studying for medicine or law, I could have learnt everything for 1-2 months - if not less! Now I'm second year and it doesn't look like it's going to be too different. This concerns me about the people who study in Oxford, Cambridge or Imperial College. It would be weird if they study that little, and it would be very concerning if they do study very hard, because this would mean that by the end of the year, their first year students will be better than our average third year student. Which is bad news for me, given that I share the market with them. I know the question can't have an absolutely accurate answer, but it can still be answered quite definitely, and it's relevant to many people.

How to set Foreground Color in a ListBox single element?

- by user1038056

I'm doing a game. I have a list of users (nicks): List<string> users; This list is used to show to the users on a ListBox, call listaJogadores. public delegate void actualizaPlayersCallback(List<string> users); public void actualizaPlayers(List<string> users) { listaJogadores.BeginInvoke(new actualizaPlayersCallback(this.actualizarListaPlayers), new object[] { users }); } public void actualizarListaPlayers(List<string> users) { listaJogadores.Items.Clear(); for (int i = 0; i < users.Count; i++) { listaJogadores.Items.Add(users.ElementAt(i)); } } When a user is playing, then it have is nick on the list of games: List<Game> games; What I want is when a player enter in a game, the color of is nick show in listaJogadores, must be Red! When I have only one player in a game, everything is ok, all the players see the nick of that player in red, but when another player go to a game, then I get an ArgumentOutOfRangeException in the instruction string nick = tmp.players.ElementAt(i).getNick(); This is my code... Give me some ideas/help please! I think that the problem is the for(), but how can I manipulate an entire list without doing a loop? listaJogadores.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed; private void listaJogadores_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e) { e.DrawBackground(); Brush textBrush = SystemBrushes.ControlText; Font drawFont = e.Font; for (int i = 0; i < games.Count; i++) { Game tmp; tmp = games.ElementAt(i); for (int j = 0; j < tmp.players.Count; j++) { string nick = tmp.players.ElementAt(i).getNick(); if (listaJogadores.Items[e.Index].ToString() == nick) { textBrush = Brushes.Red;//RED.... if ((e.State & DrawItemState.Selected) > 0) drawFont = new Font(drawFont.FontFamily, drawFont.Size, FontStyle.Bold); } else if ((e.State & DrawItemState.Selected) > 0) { textBrush = SystemBrushes.HighlightText; } } } e.Graphics.DrawString(listaJogadores.Items[e.Index].ToString(), drawFont, textBrush, e.Bounds); }

OpenGL fovx question

- by Nick

To boil my question down to the simplest form, I fear I am oversimplifying how mat4 perspective works. I am using mat4.perspective(45, 2, 0.1, 1000.0) (the binding is WebGL fwiw). With a fovy of 45, and an aspect ratio of 2, I expect to have a fovx of 90. Thus, if I position my camera at (0, 0, 50), looking towards the origin, I expect to see a cube positioned at (50, 0, 0) (45 degrees) right at the very periphery of my screen, half on, half off,. Instead, a cube at (50, 0, 0) is totally off screen, and my actually periphery occurs at about (41.1, 0, 0). What am I missing here? Thanks, nick

Apache 2.4, Ubuntu 12.04 Forbidden Errors

- by tubaguy50035

I just installed Apache 2.4 today, and I'm having some issues getting vhost configuration to work correctly. Below is the vhost conf <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /hosting/Client/site.com/www ServerName site.com ServerAlias www.site.com <Directory "/hosting/Client/site.com/www"> Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> DirectoryIndex index.html </VirtualHost> There is an index.html file in /hosting/Client/site.com/www. When I go to the site, I receive a 403 forbidden error. The www-data group is the group on the www folder, which I've already given all permissions (r/w/x). I'm really at a loss as to why this is happening. Any thoughts? If I remove the vhost and go straight to the IP address, I get the default, "It works!" page. So I know that it's working. The error log says "client denied by server configuration". apache2ctl -S dump: nick@server:~$ apache2ctl -S /usr/sbin/apache2ctl: 87: ulimit: error setting limit (Operation not permitted) VirtualHost configuration: *:80 is a NameVirtualHost default server site.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/site.com.conf:1) port 80 namevhost site.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/site.com.conf:1) alias www.site.com port 80 namevhost site.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/site.com.conf:1) alias www.site.com ServerRoot: "/etc/apache2" Main DocumentRoot: "/var/www" Main ErrorLog: "/var/log/apache2/error.log" Mutex watchdog-callback: using_defaults Mutex default: dir="/var/lock/apache2" mechanism=fcntl Mutex mpm-accept: using_defaults PidFile: "/var/run/apache2.pid" Define: DUMP_VHOSTS Define: DUMP_RUN_CFG Define: ENALBLE_USR_LIB_CGI_BIN User: name="www-data" id=33 not_used Group: name="www-data" id=33 not_used Ouput of namei -mo /hosting/Client/site/www/index.html f: /hosting/Client/site.com/www/index.html drwxr-xr-x root root / drwxr-xr-x root root hosting drwxr-xr-x root root Client drwxr-xr-x nick www-data site.com drwxr-xr-x nick www-data www -rw-rwxr-x nick www-data index.html

Tell me what’s wrong! – An XNA sample demonstrating exception handling and reporting in

- by George Clingerman

I’ve always enjoyed using Nick Gravelyn’s exception handling in all of my games. You’re always going to encounter those unhandled exception that your players are going to ferret out and having a method to display them rather than just crashing to the dashboard is definitely more of an elegant solution. But the other day I got to thinking…what if we could do more? What if instead of just displaying the error, we could encourage the players to send us the error. So I started playing with that an expanding upon Nick’s sample code to see what I could come up with. I got close to what I envisioned, but unfortunately there were some limitations to just what the XNA API could do. In my head I was picturing the players hitting “Send Message” and a 360 message would just be sent to the XBLIG developer. Unfortunately, you can only send messages in an XNA game to someone you’re currently in a network session with. Since I didn’t want to have a 360 server running all the time, virally connecting to players just to get error messages, I did the next best thing and just open up a 360 message and encourage them to manually enter the gamertag. Maybe someday we’ll be able to do that a little better, but this works for now. In the sample, players can hit the “A” button or key to generate in an exception. If the debugger is not attached, then the Exception message screen will be shown explaining what has happened and giving the player a chance to send a 360 message to the gamertag provided or maybe even just send an email. Nick’s code has been changed just a bit. It now accepts any PlayerIndex (no longer hard coded to just PlayerIndex.One) and it no longer uses a MessageBox to get the users selection. The code has also been modified so that it works both for the 360 and for the PC. Check out “Tell me what’s wrong!” and let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions. I really do appreciate the feedback.

How to keep time on resumed KVM guest with libvirt?

- by Hristo Hristov

On my host I am using libvirt and a KVM guest. When the host is shutting down, libvirt suspends the guest. When the host is starting up, libvirt resumes the guest. The problem is, if the guest is suspended and resumed after 24 hours for example, then the guest time is 24 hours in the past. I thought that maybe the problem is with the clocksource, but it is set to "kvm-clock" already. $ cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource kvm-clock tsc hpet acpi_pm $ cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource kvm-clock

How to use windows desktop from a linux machine in a local network?

- by Hristo Hristov

I have a computer running Windows 7 with no monitor or keyboard, connected to a local network. I have a few laptops running linux, also connected to the local network. I want to feel like I'm sitting in front of the windows, but using one of the linux laptops. How to do that? Maybe I can use some linux software to connect to remote desktop? Or I have to install client/server software on both machines? As this is a local network, I expect excellent experience with no lag. Thank you!

Text size for drop down menu/input select not working in Safari

- by Nick

Hello All, First question... I'm having trouble getting ANY of the Drop down menu/Input Select's to appear with size 18 font in Safari. Works fine in FF. Code: <form class="form"> <select name="make"> <option value="0"> All</option> </select> </form> Css: .form input{ font-size:18px; margin-bottom:0px; } Any ideas? Can view live at [http://www.motolistr.com][1] Best, Nick EDIT 1: Thanks for the quick reply. I added a style to the select itself to avoid confusion. I tried; <select name='make' style='font-size: 18pt;'> </select> And <select name='make' style='font-size: 18px;'> </select> And <select name='make' style='font-size: 1.3em;'> </select> Still not working in SAFARI...Again FF works fine with all 3. Best, Nick

Figure out if element is present in multi-dimensional array in python

- by Terje

I am parsing a log containing nicknames and hostnames. I want to end up with an array that contains the hostname and the latest used nickname. I have the following code, which only creates a list over the hostnames: hostnames = [] # while(parsing): # nick = nick_on_current_line # host = host_on_current_line if host in hostnames: # Hostname is already present. pass else: # Hostname is not present hostnames.append(host) print hostnames # ['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]'] I thought it would be nice to end up with something along the lines of the following: # [['[email protected]', 'John'], ['[email protected]', 'Mary'], ['[email protected]', 'Joe']] My problem is finding out if the hostname is present in such a list hostnames = [] # while(parsing): # nick = nick_on_current_line # host = host_on_current_line if host in hostnames[0]: # This doesn't work. # Hostname is already present. # Somehow check if the nick stored together # with the hostname is the latest one else: # Hostname is not present hostnames.append([host, nick]) Are there any easy fix to this, or should I try a different approach? I could always have an array with objects or structs (if there is such a thing in python), but I would prefer a solution to my array problem.

Intel 82865G Graphics Controller - making it work in Windows 7

- by abrams

RE: Putting this out there in case someone else runs into this issue. The intel chipset is on-board. I discovered the reason for the crappy resolution in windows 7 was that the memory to share with the video card was set to 1MB in the BIOS. I changed this to 8MB (the maximum) and then the PC rebooted I was able to select a higher resolution. link|flag answered Aug 18 '09 at 5:53 Nick Kavadias Nick, Does this give Aero functionalty ?

Why does installing NVidia 9600GT graphics card, take 1GB of RAM away from Windows?

- by Nick G

Hi, I've changed graphics cards in my PC and now Windows 7 (32bit) is reporting that I have a whole gigabyte less physical RAM in my PC. Why is this? Firstly, the machine has 4GB of physical RAM. The old card was an ATI 2600XT with 256MB and the new card is an NVidia 9600GT with 512MB. With the ATI card windows sees 3326MB. With the NVidia card, windows sees 2558MB. I realise that due to address space restrictions I will not see all 4GB with 32bit windows, but why is there such a massive loss of RAM when simply changing cards (bearing in mind BOTH cards have their own RAM and borrow no main memory like some built on chipsets do). Would using 64 bit windows solve this? Thanks Nick.

550 relay not permitted

- by Nick Swan

Hi, we are using Fogbugz on our server to do customer support emails. Occasionally though we get errors coming back when sending emails of: 550 relay not permitted This seems to happen at random though, sometimes sending an email to a person works, next time to the same person it'll bounce back. I've tried setting up reverse DNS with the server host and creating the SPF record in GoDaddy but we still get some of these errors. Is there anything else I can do, and is there a way of testing these are actually configured correctly? Many thanks, Nick

Baffling Exchange 2010 issue , Outlook 2003

- by Nick Weber

Recently we upgraded from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. The Exchange 2003 server is still up and active with a handful of users still there we are planning on migrating. Also we have mobile devices and a Blackberry BES server setup publishing to Exchange 2010 public folders free busy. The unfortunate issue is majority of our clients are still Outlook 2003. The issue seems to be hit and miss but sometime clients cannot view other client’s calendars. They get (cannot refresh free/busy) when they add another user and check their available times. This is also true with booking resources (conference rooms) . One thing we noticed is that the Blackberry BES seems to have created its own free/busy folders, so we have some users who use the BES on free/busy folder and other users who don’t use the BES on other free/busy folders. If any of the clients log-in via “Exchange 2010” web-access or with a Outlook 2007 client they can view the calendaring just fine. Thanks for your help Nick @Toshana

Apache crashing at random intervals. Can not find a reason in log files

- by Nick Downton

We are having an issue with a VPS running plesk 9.5 on ubuntu 8.04 At seemingly random intervals Apache will disappear and needs to be started manually. I have checked the apache error log, /var/log/messages, individual virtual host apache error files and cannot find anything that coincides with the time of the failure. dmesg is empty which is a bit odd. We have also had the psa service go down for no apparent reason but apache stay up. I'm at a loss to diagnose this really because all the log files I can find do not point to any issues. Are there any others I can look at? Memory usage sits at about 55% (out of 400mb) and it isn't a particularly high trafficed server. Any pointers as to where else I can find out what is going on would be very much appreciated. Nick

How to mount encrypted volume at login (Ubuntu 12.04, pam_mount)

- by Nick Lothian

I'm trying to get pam_mount working on Ubuntu 12.04. I have /dev/sda1 (encrypted partition) with /dev/dm-1 (ext4 formatted) inside it. Should ~/.pam_mount.conf.xml be trying to mount /dev/sda1 or /dev/dm-1? If I use the line: <volume fstype="ext4" path="/dev/dm-1" mountpoint="~/slowstore" options="rw" /> then it nearly works. It prompts for the password (ok, I'd like pam_mount to do that for me, but still..) then I get: pam_mount(rdconf2.c:126): checking sanity of luserconf volume record (/dev/dm-1) pam_mount(rdconf2.c:132): user-defined volume (/dev/dm-1), volume not owned by user If I do: sudo chown nick:disk /dev/dm-1 Then re-login the encrypted partition mounts correctly (ignoring th fact I have to reneter the password). However, if I log out completely the ownership on /dev/dm-1 gets reset to root:disk. What am I doing wrong?
