i went to a prestigeous software conference (as dominant in its own field as MS in general), one main speaker is a professor of computer science who has been teaching Java for 20 years. During question session, he seems never heard of Groovy or Scala....
He is from a decent University in US...
Is Groovy or Scala too new to attract academic attention or is this professor abnormal?
thanks.
Can I use mono's AOT (Ahead of Time compilation) feature to natively "pre-compile" all or part of some of my own .NET DLLs (and or EXEs) to make them harder to reverse engineer? I'm using Windows (7 / x64 but I have an x86 XP machine as well) and .NET 3.5 (VS 2008) and I'm curious if mono/AOT can be/has been used for this purpose? (Tying them to x86 is acceptable at this point.)
See also this question where I tried this and had no luck.
do people build there own versions of all this? or is there a place to get all this prebuilt?
I got the latest FluentNhibernate which has NHibernate but no Linq.... but I don't really want to setup a ruby rake build system etc etc unless I really really have to! Prefer to just get all the binaries I need.
Hi guys,
This is my first time on stack overflow, so I apologize if this question has been asked before, but is there an easy way to implement an RSS reader on the Google Android (API 1.5)?
I'm searched far and wide with the code sources I know of, and I've only found one implementation which takes 6 different classes and doesn't seem to compile on the current Android SDK's.
If I end up having to write my own, I'll be sure to post it here later on.
Thanks a lot.
I have a website that runs of a third party search provider that is expensive. I am going to roll my own.
Is Lucene.NET capable of ~25,000 products (or documents), each with maybe ten attributes used for filtering? I am looking to do a "narrow/drill down" or "faceted search".
Does that sound like to much to ask from Lucene.NET?
Hey guys I have been thinking about form security a lot lately. I have been told time and time again to check if form input is a number if you are expecting a number or escape it in case (unless you use proper mysqli formatting) to avoid injection.
1.After the safety checks are done, should I do additional logic checks? For example, if the user is sending a friend request to them-self for example even if my user interface will not show the form if the user is looking at their own page.

Has anyone successfully used the jQuery Validation plugin with JQGrid? I realize that JQGrid has its own validation scheme, but it's limited and a little clumsy; and I'd prefer to reuse the validation UI, language, and rules that I'm using with the rest of my forms.

Is there a free third-party or .NET class that will convert HTML to RTF (for use in a rich-text enabled Windows Forms control)?
The "free" requirement comes from the fact that I'm only working on a prototype and can just load the BrowserControl and just render HTML if need be (even if it is slow) and that Developer Express is going to be releasing their own such control soon-ish.
I don't want to learn to write RTF by hand, and I already know HTML, so I figure this is the quickest way to get some demonstrable code out the door quickly.
Computers keep time normally with a built in clock on the motherboard. But out of curiosity, can a computer tell time without this?
I would think not as a computer can only execute instructions. Of course, you could rely on the computer knowing its own processing speed, but that would be an extremely crude hack that would take up way too many clock cycles and be error prone.
Hey guys,
How can I, in PHP, get a summary of any URL? By summary, I mean something similar to the URL descriptions in Google web search results.
Is this possible? Is there already some kind of tool I can plug in to so I don't have to generate my own summaries?
I don't want to use metadata descriptions if possible.

Hi i just recently made a website and i need to get decent hits on it!
The URL is http://www.aussiebac kpackersclan.net
It is a clan website that also has its own gaming tournament ladder system and we want teams to sign up!!!
What is the best method of achieving this promotion?
I'm trying to create a set of tables where we don't actually delete them, but rather we set the archive flags instead. When we delete an entity, it shouldn't be deleted, it should be marked as archived instead.
What are the programming patterns to support this?
I would also prefer not to have to roll out my own stored procs for every table that have these archive flags if there is another solution.
If I understand correctly, the typical mechanism for Dependency Injection is to inject either through a class' constructor or through a public property (member) of the class.
This exposes the dependency being injected and violates the OOP principle of encapsulation.
Am I correct in identifying this tradeoff? How do you deal with this issue?
Please also see my answer to my own question below.
Hi,
i'm pretty new 2 programming, and I'm creating a simple text-based game
I'm wondering if there is a simple way to create my own terminal-type window with which I can place coloured input etc.
Is there a graphics module well suited to this?
I'm using Mac, but I would like it to work on Windows as well
Thanks
Is there are any libraries to make ComboBox to select multiline options when expanded. I am looking something similar to Combobox in ExtJS except values have to appear when user clicks down arrow, like in normal dropdown.
Does someone know if its possible to do something like that with ExtJS? Because their own community and support sure doesn’t (http://www.extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94079)
Has anyone setup an online copy/paste utility for Google's Closure minifier? I'm working on a project and I want to minify part of the code manually without having to setup the entire project on my own.
Hi, I'm using Google Custom Search (http://www.google.com/cse) on a client website. They are not very happy about rival companies showing up on sponsered links on their own site. I know we can use Google Site Search (http://www.google.com/sitesearch/ but it has an annual fee. I've been looking all around for a Free/OpenSource alternative for Google CSE, but found little I can use. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you
I'm writing my own eclipse plug-in that integrates with the Eclipse Android Development Tools (ADT).
However, I'm getting a CoreException ("Project target not loaded yet.") thrown when I attempt to call IProject.build on an Android project as part of a unit test:
IProject project = importProject(...);
project.build(IncrementalProjectBuilder.FULL_BUILD, monitor);
Should I be waiting for the project target to load before calling the above? If so, what call should I use to poll the project target loading status?
I have been experimenting with Google charts. Are there any alternatives that are reasonably as expressive but can be installed locally on your own web server? I don't like the idea of relying on an outside entity for a feature to work. Even if it is for cost, it would be preferable. Any suggestions?
