• Is there better documentation then the original OpenAL docs? [closed]

  - by mystify

  OpenAL is such a huge thing, and the documentation doesn't tell what values are acceptable for properties. That's really bad. I'm using the document: "OpenAL_Programmers_Guide.pdf" Whenever I look up a property I'm left in the dark what value might be ok. For example, take AL_PITCH. What value? Maybe someone wrote a better one? Or is there something like a wiki place with more details?

• (android) rows of buttons that take up the entire width of the screen

  - by user558043

  I am trying to make 3 rows of 4 buttons each that will take up the entire width of the screen. I have tried Linear Layout but have trouble adding a second row and from what I have read nesting Linear Layouts is bad practice. I tried to use relative layout several times but I cannot manage to get the buttons to fill the width of the screen because it ignores layout_weight, I then tried nesting linear layout in relative layout but layout_weight is still ignored. What is the best way to accomplish this?

• Limitations in running Ruby on windows7

  - by orkutscraps

  n the installation documentation to RoR it mentions that there are many limitations to running Ruby on Rails on Windows7, and in some cases, whole libraries do not work. How bad are these limitations, should I always default to Linux to code / run RoR, and is Iron Ruby expected to fix these limitations or are they core to the OS itself?

• How to return a const QString reference in case of failure?

  - by moala

  Hi, consider the following code: const QString& MyClass::getID(int index) const { if (i < myArraySize && myArray[i]) { return myArray[i]->id; // id is a QString } else { return my_global_empty_qstring; // is a global empty QString } } How can I avoid to have an empty QString without changing the return type of the method? (It seems that returning an empty QString allocated on the stack is a bad idea) Thanks.

• C++ shared objects

  - 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 ? Is it bad ?

• Restrict characters used in a string

  - by Jeremy Rudd

  How do I restrict a string to whitelisted characters? // "HOW am I to understand; this is, BAD" $str = restrictTo($str,"0-9a-z,. "); // " am I to understand this is, " Is there an inbuilt function in PHP that does something close? I can't formulate a regular expression for this though :(

• Performance implications of using a variable versus a magic number

  - by Nathan

  I'm often confused by this. I've always been taught to name numbers I use often using variables or constants, but if it reduces the efficiency of the program, should I still do it? Heres an example: private int CenterText(Font font, PrintPageEventArgs e, string text) { int recieptCenter = 125; int stringLength = Convert.ToInt32(e.Graphics.MeasureString(text, font)); return recieptCenter - stringLength / 2; } The above code is using named variables, but runs slower then this code: private int CenterText(Font font, PrintPageEventArgs e, string text) { return 125 - Convert.ToInt32(e.Graphics.MeasureString(text, font) / 2); } In this example, the difference in execution time is minimal, but what about in larger blocks of code?

• What are all the concurrent things [data structure, algorithm, locking mechanism] missing in .Net 3.

  - by user49767

  First time I am bit disappointed in StackOverflow cause my http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2571727/c-concurrency-vs-java-concurrency-which-is-neatly-designed-which-is-better question was closed. My intension was just trying to gather knowledge from programming guru's who worked in both the programming technologies. Rather closing this question, please help me by discussing what is good, bad, and ugly in multi-threading part in both the platforms. It is also welcome, if someone would like to compare with .Net 4.0 with JDK 6 (or JDK 7)

• get metadata from jpg, dng and arw raw files

  - by Daniel

  I was wondering if anyone new how to get access the metadata (the date in particular) from jpg, arw and dng files. I've recently lost the folder structure after a merge operation gone-bad and would like to rename the recovered files according to the metadata. I'm planning on creating a little C++ app to dig into each file and get the metadata. any input is appreciated. ( alternatively, if you know of an app that already does this I'd like to know :)

• a good resource or book for architecting object-oriented software

  - by Ygam

  I have looked at a couple of books and all I have looked at were just discussing the technicalities of OOP. By technicalities I mean, here's a concept, here's some code, now get working. I have yet to see a book that discusses the architectural process, what are the ways of doing this, why doing this is bad, how to actually incorporate design patterns in a real-world project, etc. Can you recommend a good resource or book? I am mainly programming with PHP but a language-agnostic book/resource would do :)

• What is the preferred syntax for initializing a dict?

  - by daotoad

  I'm putting in some effort to learn Python, and I am paying close attention to common coding standards. This may seem like a pointlessly nit-picky question, but I am trying to focus on best-practices as I learn, so I don't have to unlearn any 'bad' habits. I see two common methods for initializing a dict: a = { 'a': 'value', 'another': 'value', } b = dict( a='value', another='value', ) Which is considered to be "more pythonic"? Which do you use? Why?

• PHP turn off errors - in one file only

  - by Industrial

  Hi! I am well aware about error_reporting(0); & ini_set('display_errors', "Off"); to make error messages go away. What would be an appropriate way to do this - for a specific file or part of code only? Surpressing errors with @'s seems like a bad idea since it apparently slows the code down... Thanks!

• Aborting a merge in git

  I've done 'git pull', and received a merge conflict. I know that the other version of the file is good, and that mine is bad (all my changes should be abandoned). How do I do this? unmerged: _widget.html.erb You are in the middle of a conflicted merge.

• Is it better to store user text (such as a blog entry or private messages) in the database or as flat files?

  - by Fredashay

  I'm building a social networking type site that will be storing large chunks of text that's entered by users, such as blog entries and private messages. As such, these will be entered once, with minimal revisions, but many reads by multiple users over time. I'm using MySQL, by the way. My concerns are: Storing large blocks of text on the database will fill the database to capacity eventually. I read somewhere that storing user text in flat files is a security risk? (The filenames will be generated dynamically by the PHP, not by the user.) Storing them as text files may cause them to become out of sync if I ever have to reinitialize the database and restore it from backups. What are all your thoughts and advice, pros and cons?

  - by LittleBoy

  The idea behind the question is - Just say No! to C# Regions It is said that "the reason to use #region tags because all the things they are hiding is just really bad code." How do you use regions effectively?

• What's the big deal with brute force on hashes like MD5

  - by Jan Kuboschek

  I just spent some time reading http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2768248/is-md5-really-that-bad (I highly recommend!). In it, it talks about hash collisions. Maybe I'm missing something here, but can't you just encrypt your password using, say, MD5 and then, say, SHA-1 (or any other, doesn't matter.) Wouldn't this increase the processing power required to brute-force the hash and reduce the possibility of collision?

• MySQL: how to index an "OR" clause

  - by JoséMi

  I'm executing the following query SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table WHERE field1='value' AND (field2 = 1000 OR field3 = 2000) There is one index over field1 and another composited over field2&field3. I see MySQL always selects the field1 index and then makes a join using the other two fields which is quite bad because it needs to join 146.000 rows. Suggestions on how to improve this? Thanks

• What happens inside the try block?

  - by dontWatchMyProfile

  Example: @try { // 1) do bad stuff that can throw an exception... // 2) do some more stuff // 3) ...and more... } @catch (NSException *e) { NSLog(@"Error: %@: %@", [e name], [e reason]); } If 1) throws an exception, is the block immediately canceled like a return in a function or a break in a loop? Or will 2) and 3) be processed no matter what happens in 1)?

• Getting information about where c++ exceptions are thrown inside of catch block?

  - by tfinniga

  I've got a c++ app that wraps large parts of code in try blocks. When I catch exceptions I can return the user to a stable state, which is nice. But I'm not longer receiving crash dumps. I'd really like to figure out where in the code the exception is taking place, so I can log it and fix it. Being able to get a dump without halting the application would be ideal, but I'm not sure that's possible. Is there some way I can figure out where the exception was thrown from within the catch block? If it's useful, I'm using native msvc++ on windows xp and higher. My plan is to simply log the crashes to a file on the various users' machines, and then upload the crashlogs once they get to a certain size.

• What are the things Java got wrong?

  I read a lot of blogs and see people all the time talking about bad things in the java programming language; a lot of them are about annotations and generics that were added to the language in 1.5 release. What are the things in the language or the API that you don't like or would design differently?
