• What are the real-world benefits of declarative-UI languages such as XAML and QML?

  - by Stu Mackellar

  I'm currently evaluating QtQuick (Qt User Interface Creation Kit) which will be released as part of Qt 4.7. QML is the JavaScript-based declarative language behind QtQuick. It seems to be a very powerful concept, but I'm wondering if anybody that's made extensive use of other, more mature declarative-UI languages like XAML in WPF or Silverlight…

• Real world example of Unification in First Order Logic?

  - by Sebi

  I know this is only part of a programming question, but at the moment, I'm doing a little bit of logic programming. One thing I still don't understand correctly is Unification in First Order Logic. I read the Wikipedia article and it is more or less clear that the purpose is searching a term that unifies two sentences... There are also examples…

• Telling someone to "let the world judge their development practices" without being condicending?

  - by leeand00

  There's a person in management on my team, that: Doesn't ask questions on Stack Overflow. Doesn't read development blogs. Doesn't use development best practices. This person is about to make some major decisions about the technology stack that will be used throughout the company. (I asked him what the technology stack was they were planning…

• Simple "Hello World!" console application crashes when run by windows TaskScheduler (1.0)

  - by user326627

  I have a batch file which starts multiple instances of simple console application (Hello World!). I work on Windows server 2008 64-bit. I configure it to run in TaskScheduler, at startup, and whether user is logged-in or not. The later configuration means that the instances will run without GUI (i.e. - no window). When I run this task, some of…

• What is the worst real-world macros/pre-processor abuse you've ever come across?

  - by Trevor Boyd Smith

  What is the worst real-world macros/pre-processor abuse you've ever come across (please no contrived IOCCC answers *haha*)? Please add a short snippet or story if it is really entertaining. The goal is to teach something instead of always telling people "never use macros". p.s.: I've used macros before... but usually I get rid of them…

• What are real-world examples of Gradle's dependency graph?

  - by Michael Easter

  As noted in the documentation, Gradle uses a directed acyclic graph (DAG) to build a dependency graph. From my understanding, having separate cycles for evaluation and execution is a major feature for a build tool. e.g. The Gradle doc states that this enables some features that would otherwise be impossible. I'm interested in real-world…

• How to use your computer to save the world?

  - by Francisco Garcia

  Sometimes I miss the "help other people" factor within computer-related fields. However, there are little things that we all can do to make this a better place—beyond trying to eradicate annoying stuff such as Visual Basic. You could join a cloud computing network such as World Community Grid to fight cancer, write a charityware…

• Undefined behaviour with non-virtual destructors - is it a real-world issue?

  - by Roddy

  Consider the following code: class A { public: A() {} ~A() {} }; class B: public A { B() {} ~B() {} }; A* b = new B; delete b; // undefined behaviour My understanding is that the C++ standard says that deleting b is undefined behaviour - ie, anything could happen. But, in the real world, my experience is that ~A() is…

• My iPhone app has been downloaded by people all over the world, but has no use to anyone outside of

  - by Rob Lourens

  I wrote a basic free app for the bus schedule in my American university's town which was accepted into the app store on Saturday. Since then the app has been downloaded (assuming I'm reading the iTunes Connect reports right) 18 times in Canada, 6 times in Germany, and many times from other places all over the world. I can't figure…

• Good real-world uses of metaclasses (e.g. in Python)

  - by Carles Barrobés

  I'm learning about metaclasses in Python. I think it is a very powerful technique, and I'm looking for good uses for them. I'd like some feedback of good useful real-world examples of using metaclasses. I'm not looking for example code on how to write a metaclass (there are plenty examples of useless metaclasses out there), but…

• CString a = "Hello " + "World!"; Is it possible?

  - by Sanctus2099

  I'm making my own string class and I was wondering if there's any way to replace the compiler behaviour around " characters. As I said in the title I'd like to make it so that CString a = "Hello " + "World!"; would actually work and not give a compiler error telling that it can't add 2 pointers. My string class automatically…

• World Wide Publishing Service very slow to restart on IIS? Why?

  - by StacMan

  Every now and then, we look to restart our IIS server by restarting the "WWW Publishing Service". On most systems this would usually only take a minute or two, but this can often take up to 10 minutes to stop the server and restart. Does anyone know any way to work out what is taking so much time to stop the service? After…

• How to deal with large open worlds?

  - by Mr. Beast

  In most games the whole world is small enough to fit into memory, however there are games where this is not the case, how is this archived, how can the game still run fluid even though the world is so big and maybe even dynamic? How does the world change in memory while the player moves? Examples for this include the TES…

• Network latency -- how long does it take for a packet to travel halfway around the world?

I'm looking for the maximum latency I'm likely to encounter on a regular basis -- if Australia's not the right destination point to consider, feel…

  Here's a theoretical question: When I'm building an application using message queueing, I'm going to need multiple queues support different data types for different purposes.

• Is there a path of least resistance that a newcomer to graphics-technology-adoption can take at this point in the .NET graphics world?

  - by Rao

  For the past 5 months or so, I've spent time learning C# using Andrew Troelsen's book and getting familiar with stuff in the .NET 4 stack... bits of ADO.NET, EF4 and a pinch of WCF to taste. I'm really interested in graphics development (not for games though), which is why I chose to go the .NET…
