• Which design pattern should be used to create an emulator?

  - by Facon

  I have programmed an emulator, but I have some doubts about how to organizate it properly, because, I see that it has some problems about classes connection (CPU <- Machine Board). For example: I/O ports, interruptions, communication between two or more CPU, etc. I need for the emulator to has the best performance and good understanding of the code. PD: Sorry for my bad English. EDITED - Asking for multiple patterns.

• Sort months ( with strings ) algorithm

  - by Oscar Reyes

  I have this months array: ["January", "March", "December" , "October" ] And I want to have it sorted like this: ["January", "March", "October", "December" ] I'm currently thinking in a "if/else" horrible cascade but I wonder if there is some other way to do this. The bad part is that I need to do this only with "string" ( that is, without using Date object or anything like that ) What would be a good approach?

• Gathering mac addresses with Python

  - by William

  Hi, is there a good way to gather the mac addresses of machines on a local network using Python. If it helps I'm trying to execute this python script from the DHCP server for the network. I'm new to Python but would it be a bad idea to look at the DHCP leases file for this info? I'd like to use this inside a Django app eventually. Thanks.

• Why some people called css+div based layouts to "Tableless Layouts"?

  - by metal-gear-solid

  Why some people called css+div based layouts to "Tableless Layouts"? What should we called? Is "Tableless Layouts" a perfect word? or "css layouts" is more perfect word? Although for tabular data we always use tables. and just to use div in place of table tr td is not enough. and overuse of div is as bad as table layouts

• Is there a recommended logging path/folder for ASP.NEt applications?

  - by the-locster

  Currently we use log4net and create a new folder (usually below C:) with write and create access rights for the worker process user. Is there perhaps a standard windows folder we should or could be using such as LOCALAPPDATA? I'm guessing that LOCALAPPDATA is a bad choice in the general case because IIS users tend to be non-interactive users and thus I don't think they have the usual user folder structrues available.

• If MD5 is broken, what is a better solution?

  Hi, After reading the topic "Is MD5 really that bad", I was thinking about a better solution for generating hashes. Are there better solutions like Adler, CRC32 or SHA1? Or are they even broken?

• java api design - NULL or Exception

  - by srini.venigalla

  Is it better to return a null value or throw an exception from an API method? Returning a null requires ugly null checks all over, and cause a major quality problem if the return is not checked. Throwing an exception forces the user to code for the faulty condition, but since Java exceptions bubble up and force the caller code to handle them, in general, using custom exceptions may be a bad idea (specifically in java). Any sound and practical advice?

• can i quickly run entire page's text through a function on page load?

  - by korben

  i have setup a profanity filter with bad words in a XML file and have the following function to run on my page to replace the words: BadWordFilter.Instance.GetCleanString(TextBox1.Text); i'm about to go through my entire site now wrapping that function around every little text variable one by one and it's going to be a huge pain in the butt i'm hoping there's a way that i could just set my masterpage to automatically run all text through this thing on any page_load, so that the effect would be site-wide instantly. is this possible? much appreciated for any help

• Cross-browser method for hiding page elements until all content is loaded to prevent layout from appearing broken during load?

  - by Ryan

  I have an issue where due to some elements loading faster than others, the page looks broken for a few seconds at the start. An example is the CSS Pie behavior that allows me to do curved corners in IE, it appears before it becomes curved which looks bad. What would be ideal would be it somehow knowing when everything is loaded and then appear all at once, possibly including some kind of elegant visual way of not making the user feel impatient... any ideas or common tricks for doing this?

• What are the pros and cons of storing files in a database?

  - by Gabriel

  Hi, I'm writing a php application and was wondering if it's a bad idea to store complete files in the database. Files should be around 100-200kb mostly text files (txt, doc, docx and so on) or small image files. Or is it just a plain wrong idea?

• What is the simplest way (or simplest library) to create a truly secure php mail() function?

  - by Tchalvak

  The mail() function is bad, because it is so permissive with headers that you pretty much can't use it with any user input without subjecting yourself or others to spam. So what is the simplest substitute that can still ensure that it's use is secure? Ideally something that can be included in an external file.

• using Visual Studio 2010 and speech recognition on windows 7?

  - by Kevin Won

  I've never used Speech Recognition (SR) at all, but I'm hearing that the built-in SR capabilities of windows 7 is not half-bad. I'm thinking that it might be a real productivity booster with Visual Studio so I can decrease the use of the mouse (no Emacs comments please ;-). I don't envision not using the keyboard to type the actual code--but maybe that would work too? Does anyone have experience using SR with Visual Studio on Windows 7? If so, any tips on usage?

• OpenMP implementations in VC++ 2008, 2010

  - by John

  Depending on implementation, OMP can be quite useful to parallelize fairly arbitrary bits of code - e.g a parallel section inside a method that calls two independent methods - or it can be bad. It depends on how threads are created/cached, I think. How does the VC++ 2008 implementation work? And is the 2010 implementation significantly different in terms of features and performance/flexibility?

• What is the best IP/Subnet set up strategy for a multi-server webhosting setup?

  - by Roy Andre

  Sorry for the mixed-up title, but let me try to explain better: We run a hosting solution, which until now has supported shared hosting and VPSes. Easy enough. We are now getting larger clients which require a more complex setup. We have more or less settled the server-setup itself, which will consist of: 1-2 Frontend Proxy/Load balancing servers 2+ Application servers 1 Database server 1 optional Memcached server The issue we are dealing with is to agree on a flexible and easy-to-maintain IP setup. So far we've been into VLAN'ing the internal servers in its own subnet, we've though of assigning an official IP to each server, and so on. What will be the best approach here? Any best practices? Using one official IP on the Frontend server, and then just set up an internal subnet for the servers behind that? We could then just NAT in any eventual sources required to access for instance the DB server directly over 3306.

• Visual C++: Invalid allocation size. How to force the debugger to stop on this message?

  - by James Roth

  The MFC program I am debugging is printing this message in the "Output" window in Visual Studio 9.0: HEAP[AppName.exe]: Invalid allocation size - 99999998 (exceeded 7ffdefff) I'm pretty sure this is due to a bad "new", uninitialized variable or similar error. The question is: how do I get the debugger to stop on this message so that I can view the stack trace and solve the problem?

• How to get N random string from a {a1|a2|a3} format string?

  - by Pentium10

  Take this string as input: string s="planets {Sun|Mercury|Venus|Earth|Mars|Jupiter|Saturn|Uranus|Neptune}" How would I choose randomly N from the set, then join them with comma. The set is defined between {} and options are separated with | pipe. The order is maintained. Some output could be: string output1="planets Sun, Venus"; string output2="planets Neptune"; string output3="planets Earth, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune"; string output4="planets Uranus, Saturn";// bad example, order is not correct Java 1.5

• What are some good code optimization methods?

  - by esac

  I would like to understand good code optimization methods and methodology. How do I keep from doing premature optimization if I am thinking about performance already. How do I find the bottlenecks in my code? How do I make sure that over time my program does not become any slower? What are some common performance errors to avoid (e.g.; I know it is bad in some languages to return while inside the catch portion of a try{} catch{} block

• Installing Fedora Core 12 on a VPS

  - by cinqoTimo

  I'm working on a Linux VPS that is running FC6, and I want to reinstall with the latest version FC12. The VPS is running on the Virtuozzo platform. I am also running Plesk on the VPS. This is all managed hosting through Network Solutions, so I don't have access to the actual box. My question is, how does one reinstall a different OS through Virtuozzo? I see "reinstall VPS" in virtuozzo, but this just burns a fresh copy of FC6? Is this a host-by-host thing, or are there best practices for accomplishing this..?

• What was the most refreshingly honest non-technical comment you saw in the code?

  - by DVK

  OK, so we all saw the lists of "funny" or "bad" comments. However, today, when maintaining an old stored proc, I stumbled upon a comment which I couldn't classify other than "refreshingly brutally honest", left by a previous maintainer around a really freakish (both performance and readability-wise) page-long query: -- Feel free to optimize this if you can understand what it means So, in the first (and hopefully only) poll type question in my history of Stack Overflow, I'd like to hear some other "refreshingly brutally honest" code comments you encountered or written.
