• Is method hiding ever a good idea

  - by ScottS

  In C# the new keyword can be used to hide a base class method without overriding the base class method. I've never encountered a situation where hiding a method was the best choice available. Are there any situations where method hiding is the best choice?

• Grayscale in matlab

  - by ruthenium

  I'm trying to convert a 2D array to grayscale but using mat2gray doesn't do anything and imshow() appears to create a binary image that when I graph I cannot rotate it, e.g. the original array is 2d but maps in 3d. So, what is the best way to take a grayscale of 2d array in Matlab so if you have A=rand(5,10) or something and want to take a grayscale of that, what is the best way?

• How to convert a string into a Point?

  - by NateD

  I have a list of strings of the format "x,y". I would like to make them all into Points. The best Point constructor I can find takes two ints. What is the best way in C# to turn "14,42" into new Point(14,42);? I know the Regex for doing that is /(\d+),(\d+)/, but I'm having a hard time turning those two match groups into ints in C#.

• Model Validation for record creation in rails

  - by Elliot

  Hey Guys, Lets say the model for books is: created_at user_id (int) author_id (int) genre_id (int) pages (int) I want to let people change the "created_at" field upon record creation. I also want to make sure that a record can't have the exact same created_at, user_id, and author_id as any other record (i.e. each needs its own date). Whats the best to perform this type of validation, and how should I go about doing it? Best, Elliot

• Flex project architecture ?

  - by Tony

  What's the best way to organize functionality modules in a flex project? I saw some people put all modules in one view stack ,and so the application interface is only load once, but when the application get larger, the whole compiled swf would be very big. If we put swfs in different pages, we pass request parameters through HTTP request, we lost the benefits from flex RPC services, slow loading, and we can't see any superior comparing to php,asp,jsp... what's the best practice to organize front end architecture?

• The patent difference between software and other technologies

  - by hstoerr

• 3d symmetry search algorithm

  - by aaa

  this may be more appropriate for math overflow, but nevertheless: Given 3d structure (for example molecule), what is a good approach/algorithm to find symmetry (rotational/reflection/inversion/etc.)? I came up with brute force naive algorithm, but it seems there should be better approach. I am not so much interested in genetic algorithms as I would like best symmetry rather then almost the best symmetry link to website/paper would be great. thanks

• Commenting C code, header and source files

  - by pygabriel

  I'm looking for a "best practice" to document my C code. Like in any project I have some header files ".h" and the respective source file ".c" In the header file what kind of comment you put in? And in source files? The question arise up because since I commented well my header files, the c files looks like a mess. What's your best practices in keeping the code well commented?

• How do I convert tuple of tuples to list in one line (pythonic)?

  - by ThinkCode

  query = 'select mydata from mytable' cursor.execute(query) myoutput = cursor.fetchall() print myoutput (('aa',), ('bb',), ('cc',)) Why is it (cursor.fetchall) returning a tuple of tuples instead of a tuple since my query is asking for only one column of data? What is the best way of converting it to ['aa', 'bb', 'cc'] ? I can do something like this : mylist = [] myoutput = list(myoutput) for each in myoutput: mylist.append(each[0]) I am sure this isn't the best way of doing it. Please enlighten me!

• struts 2 - where should I set global application variables?

  - by Nicola Montecchio

  Hi I'm using struts 2 and I'd like to read some custom-defined parameters (global variables), preferably from web.xml or some custom ".properties" file (i.e. not hardcoded in the Java sources). This problem has been driving me mad for the past half hour as I can't google any reasonable solution. What is the best way to do this? I find it strange that it is so difficult ... all the best Nicola Montecchio

• What's a good library to do computational geometry (like CGAL) in a garbage-collected language?

  - by Squash Monster

  I need a library to handle computational geometry in a project, especially boolean operations, but just about every feature is useful. The best library I can find for this is CGAL, but this is the sort of project I would hesitate to make without garbage collection. What language/library pairs can you recommend? So far my best bet is importing CGAL into D. There is also a project for making Python bindings for CGAL, but it's very incomplete.

• How to store (and use) the current mouse position?

  - by Ben Packard

  What is the best way to store the current mouse position (system-wide) and then (later) put the mouse at that stored point? [NSEvent mouseLocation] gets me the position, and I can move the mouse with a CGEventMouseMoved, but they each use a different co-ordinates system (I believe y=0 is the top for NSEvent and the bottom for a CGEvent). I'm worried about the robustness of capturing the screen height and using it to convert between the two - or is this the best approach?

  This is a rookie question. What's the best place to put @Resource private DataSource ds; in a web application? Do I put it in a servlet, context listener or maybe there's a better place for it?

• Efficiency of purely functional programming

  - by Sid

  Does anyone know what is the worst possible asymptotic slowdown that can happen when programming purely functionally as opposed to imperatively (i.e. allowing side-effects)? Clarification from comment by itowlson: is there any problem for which the best known non-destructive algorithm is asymptotically worse than the best known destructive algorithm, and if so by how much?

• Updating protected using update_all

  - by Jack

  Since you cannot use the normal 'update' and 'update_attribute' methods from ActiveRecord to update a protected attribute, is the following the best way to update an attribute for a single user? User.update_all("admin = true","id = 1") I'm guessing this doesn't lie in the 'best practice' category, so I'm just curious if there is a more appropriate way.

• What kind of intern experience should I get?

  - by Narcolapser

  So right now I have a good job as a software development intern for a company called Country Maid. I know that having 4 years of experience when I graduate from college (I'm currently a freshman) will look good on a resume. But I started to wonder, would 4 with one company be best, or 4 years split up between multiple companies be best? So my question is, when hiring a software developer straight out of college, what kind and how much experience to companies look for? ~N
