  • Why should I use a thread vs using a process?

    - by danmine
    I'm a newbie at this so please forgive me for my ignorance. Separating different parts of a program into different processes seems (to me) to make a more elegant program then just threading everything. In what scenario would it make sense to make things run on a thread vs separating the program into different processes? When should I use a thread? Edit: Anything on how (or if) they act differently with single core and multi core would also be helpful.

  • Help me understand why page sizes are a power of 2?

    - by eric
    Answer I need help with is: Recall that paging is implemented by breaking up an address into a page and offset number. It is most efficient to break the address into X page bits and Y offset bits, rather than perform arithmetic on the address to calculate the page number and offset. Because each bit position represents a power of 2, splitting an address between bits results in a page size that is a power of 2. i don't quite understand this answer, can anyone give a simpler explanation?

  • why it is up to the compiler to decide what value to assign when assigning an out-of-range value to

    - by Allopen
    in C++ Primer 4th edition 2.1.1, it says "when assigning an out-of-range value to a signed type, it is up to the compiler to decide what value to assign". I can't understand it. I mean, if you have code like "char 5 = 299", certainly the compiler will generate asm code like "mov BYTE PTR _sc$[ebp], 43"(VC) or "movb $43, -2(%ebp)"(gcc+mingw), it IS decided by the compiler. but what if we assign a value that is given by the user input? like, via command line? and the asm code generated will be "movb %al, -1(%ebp)"(gcc+mingw) and " mov cl, BYTE PTR _i$[ebp] mov BYTE PTR _sc$[ebp], cl "(VC), so now how can compiler decide what will happen? I think now it is decided by the CPU. Can you give me a clear explanation?

  • Why can't I rename a data frame column inside a list?

    - by Moreno Garcia
    I would like to rename some columns from CPU_Usage to the process name before I merge the dataframes in order to make it more legible. names(byProcess[[1]]) # [1] "Time" "CPU_Usage" names(byProcess[1]) # [1] "CcmExec_3344" names(byProcess[[1]][2]) <- names(byProcess[1]) names(byProcess[[1]][2]) # [1] "CPU_Usage" names(byProcess[[1]][2]) <- 'test' names(byProcess[[1]][2]) # [1] "CPU_Usage" lapply(byProcess, names) # $CcmExec_3344 # [1] "Time" "CPU_Usage" # # ... (removed several entries to make it more readable) # # $wrapper_1604 # [1] "Time" "CPU_Usage"

  • Why isn't this infinite recursion? How does default variable initialization work in VB.NET?

    - by froadie
    I just made an interesting mistake in my code: Dim endColumn As Integer = startColumn + endColumn - 1 The code was actually supposed to be: Dim endColumn As Integer = startColumn + numColumns - 1 The interesting thing is, I would think that this code should be recursive and loop indefinitely, as the initialization of endColumn sort of calls itself. However, it seems that the code just treats the uninitialized variable as a 0 and so I get startColumn + 0 - 1. What is happening here behind the scenes? When does a variable get assigned a default value?

  • Are there any good reasons why I should not use Python?

    - by coppro
    I've heard from reliable sources that Python is a great language that every programmer can learn, but I've heard so much good about it that I'm clearly not getting the whole picture. I'm considering spending more time to learn it, and I've heard more than I need about its virtues (to the point where I've started recommending it having never really used it), so I want to know its drawbacks, flaws, issues, and every single minor point of irritation you've ever had (preferably with explanations readable to one who doesn't program Python, such as with an example in another language). Convince me not to try it out.

  • Why can a public class not inherit from a less visible one?

    - by Dan Tao
    I apologize if this question has been asked before. I've searched SO somewhat and wasn't able to find it. I'm just curious what the rationale behind this design was/is. Obviously I understand that private/internal members of a base type cannot, nor should they, be exposed through a derived public type. But it seems to my naive thinking that the "hidden" parts could easily remain hidden while some base functionality is still shared and a new interface is exposed publicly. I'm thinking of something along these lines: Assembly X internal class InternalClass { protected virtual void DoSomethingProtected() { // Let's say this method provides some useful functionality. // Its visibility is quite limited (only to derived types in // the same assembly), but at least it's there. } } public class PublicClass : InternalClass { public void DoSomethingPublic() { // Now let's say this method is useful enough that this type // should be public. What's keeping us from leveraging the // base functionality laid out in InternalClass's implementation, // without exposing anything that shouldn't be exposed? } } Assembly Y public class OtherPublicClass : PublicClass { // It seems (again, to my naive mind) that this could work. This class // simply wouldn't be able to "see" any of the methods of InternalClass // from AssemblyX directly. But it could still access the public and // protected members of PublicClass that weren't inherited from // InternalClass. Does this make sense? What am I missing? }

  • why isn't the input text file being read into the ArrayList<String>, diary?

    Here's my code: public void readFile() throws IOException { System.out.println("Input file name: "); Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); String readName = in.nextLine(); Scanner reader = new Scanner(new File(readName)); System.out.println("Reading file..."); while (reader.hasNextLine()) { System.out.println(reader.nextLine()); } System.out.println("File read."); Scanner inAgain = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Would you like to read this into the current Diary?"); System.out.println("Warning: This will overwrite your current Diary!"); String readFileConfirm = inAgain.nextLine(); ArrayList<String> readData = new ArrayList<String>(); if (readFileConfirm.equalsIgnoreCase("yes")) { for (int i = 0; i < readData.size(); i++) { readData.add(reader.nextLine()); } System.out.println("Data added to extra array..."); System.out.println("Here are the contents."); for (int i = 0; i < readData.size(); i++) { System.out.println(readData.get(i)); } System.out.println("Contents read."); System.out.println("Now overwriting current Diary with read file..."); diary.clear(); for (int i = 0; i < diary.size(); i++) { diary.add(readData.get(i)); } System.out.println("New Diary created!"); System.out.println("Use 'recall' to see your new Diary!"); } else { System.out.println("Very well, returning to first command entry."); } } Thanks in advance! -h

  • Why does one column seem to load first in Wordpress?

    - by Cynthia
    I have a Wordpress site that is doing something very bizarre. If you go to: http://digitaldemo.net/joy/krippen-a-b-c/ When it loads, the main content div loads on the right hand side of the page and then once the sidebar loads, THEN it gets pushed over to where it ought to be. It's only really noticable in Firefox, but I'd like to find out what is causing it and fix the issue. Any ideas? Many thanks!

  • Why would 1.000 subforms in a db be a bad idea?

    - by KlaymenDK
    Warm-up I'm trying to come up with a good way to implement customized document forms. It's for a tool to request access to applications; each application will want to ask its own specific questions. The thing is, we have one kind of (common) user who needs to fill in and submit documents based on templates, and another kind of (super) user who needs to be able to define what each template needs to contain. One implementation option would be to use a form (with the basic mandatory stuff), and have that form dynamically include a subform appropriate to the specific task at hand. The gist of the matter is that we could (=will!) quite easily end up having many hundreds of different subforms! (NB. These subforms will be maintained in an automated manner, but that is another topic that may be considered outside the scope of this Question.) Question It's common knowledge that having a lot of views in a Notes database is Bad Thing. But has anyone tried pushing the number of forms or subforms and made any experiences regarding performance?

  • Why use of session name and session id in the get variables does not work?

    - by Roman
    I have the following code: $location .= 'red=no&'.session_name() . "=". session_id(); $content = file_get_contents($location); echo $content; If I run it, noting is displayed in my browser. However, if I modify it in the following way: $location .= 'red=no'; $content = file_get_contents($location); echo $content; everything works fine (I see the content in my browser). What is also strange, if I display the value of the $location variable from the first example (url) and manually paste it in the address line of my browser, I do see the content. So, my browser is able to use this URL and file_get_contents not. Does anybody know how it can be explained?

  • C# Why does this code not show a GUI properly?

    - by Tom
    class Program { static String ChannelName = null; static Form1 f; static void Main() { f = new Form1(); f.Show(); try { MY CODE WHICH CALLS INTO ANOTHER CLASS BUT CANNOT PASS THE GUI INSTANCE AS IT USES REMOTING } } } I know this isnt the best/normal way to do it, but i need to write data to the GUI from a class which has bo instance of the GUI so i was going to call Program.method() and use a function to write to the GUI in program. However when i run the above my GUI displays but with the windows hourglass? Could someone show me a quick fix so that i can still crudely show the GUI, let the application code run and then later write to the GUI?

  • Why trigger query fails in the sqlite with Qt?

    - by dexterous_stranger
    I am a beginner in the SQL. I am using SQLite, Qt - on embedded systems. I want to put a trigger here. The trigger is that whenever the primary key Id is greater than 32145, then channelNum=101 should be set. I want to set the attrib name - text also, but I got the compilation issue. I believe that the setting of trigger is the part of DDL - Data definition language. Please let me know that if I am wrong here. Here is my create db code. I get the sql query error. Also please do suggest how to set the text attrib = "COmedy". /** associate db with query **/ QSqlQuery query ( m_demo_db ); /** Foreign keys are disabled by default in sqlite **/ /** Here is the pragma to turn them on first **/ query.exec("PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON;"); if ( false == query.exec()) { qDebug()<<"Pragma failed"; } /** Create Table for storing user preference LCN for DTT **/ qDebug()<<"Create Table postcode.db"; query.prepare(" CREATE TABLE dttServiceList (Id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, attrib varchar(20), channelNum integer )" ); if ( false == query.exec()) { qDebug()<<"Create dttServiceList table failed"; } /** Try placing trigger here **/ triggerQuery = "CREATE TRIGGER upd_check BEFORE INSERT ON dttServiceList \ FOR EACH ROW \ BEGIN \ IF Id > 32145 THEN SET channelNum=101; \ END IF; \ END; "; query.prepare(triggerQuery); if ( false == query.exec()) { qDebug()<<"Trigger failed !!"; qDebug() << query.lastError(); } Also, how to set the text name in the trigger - I want to SET attrib = "Comedy".

  • Why doesn't my ClickOnce deployment pick up the latest changes to the application?

    - by Simon
    I have a WinForms app which is deployed to a local network drive (as 'Online Only') via ClickOnce. This has been working fine but today I made some changes to the application and attempted to ClickOnce deploy it to a separate network location (to use as a test system) rather than the current production location. ClickOnce publishes successfully, with no errors, to the correct location but only publishes the pre-change version; i.e. none of my changes are visible: the version number is the old version number and the displayed release date is the last production release back in 2009. What do I have to do to get this to publish correctly? I've used a similar approach on other applications with no such issues.

  • Why does SendMailMAPI rename file attachments to shorter ones?

  • Why does a checkbox remain checked in FF3 but not in IE, Chrome or ...

    - by sirrocco
    So - I have a checkbox <asp:CheckBox ID="chkOrder" runat="server" Visible='<%#IsCheckBoxVisible() %>' Checked="false" OnCheckedChanged="chkOrder_CheckedChanged" AutoPostBack="true" EnableViewState="false"></asp:CheckBox> the one above. Now, the checkbox is in a gridview and on databound - for all the rows in the gridview the checkbox is set to false. The problem is that the first checkbox is still true checked. In IE the problem doesn't exist, same for Chrome. I'm running out of options. Also if i use $("checkboxName").attr("checked"); // verified on jquery ready function. In FF it is true; IE false; Chrome false. Any tips? EDIT Now get ready for this : in the generated html - there is NO checked attribute. The diff between FF and IE is exactly the same. Another thing - the grid that contains the checkboxes has an ajax panel on it and when I page the grid, try to go to page 2 - the checkedChanged in codebehind is triggered.

  • Why does exec:java work and exec:exec fail?

    - by whiskerz
    Hey there, just set up a simple project to test the functionality of the maven exec plugin. I have one class containing one "Hello World" main method. I've tested two configurations of the exec plugin. <goals> <goal>exec</goal> </goals> <configuration> <executable>java</executable> <arguments> <argument>-classpath</argument> <classpath/> <argument>test.exec.HelloWorldExec</argument> </arguments> </configuration> failed miserably, giving me a ClassNotFoundException, while <goals><goal>java</goal></goals> <configuration> <mainClass>test.exec.HelloWorldExec</mainClass> </configuration> worked. However I would like to be able to start my java main class in a separate process, so I'd like to understand whats different with exec:exec and how I can get it to work? Any help appreciated cheers Whizz

  • Why does my code fail to create a directory in "C:\Program Files" under Windows 7?

    - by sunil.nishad87
    I am using Windows 7 and I have to run one program in that windows but that program working in Windows XP. This is a Visual C++ program and I am using Visual Studio 2008 for this. When I am running my application, it does not throw any errors, but it does not create a directory in "c:\program files\". So can anyone help me to create directory and exe file? This is the code I am using: char szAppPath[MAX_PATH]; char szFileName[MAX_PATH]; DWORD dwResult; WIN32_FIND_DATA FindFileData; HANDLE hFind; dwResult = ExpandEnvironmentStrings( NULL, szAppPath, MAX_PATH); // "%ProgramFiles%" // do same for NSim directory strcat(szAppPath,"\\NSim"); hFind = FindFirstFile(szAppPath, &FindFileData); if (hFind == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) { //Directory Does't Exists create New if(!CreateDirectory(szAppPath,NULL)) //Throw Error { MessageBox("Unable to Create N-SIM directory","NSim Installer"); return ; } } else { //check if is directory or not if(!(FindFileData.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)) { MessageBox("Can't Create N-SIM directory\n Another file with same name exists","NSim Installer"); return ; } FindClose(hFind); } //***************************************N-SIM Application**************************** strcpy(szFileName, szAppPath); HRSRC hRes; if( bRegister == FALSE) { strcat(szFileName,"\\NSim.exe"); //make same name of the Client & Server in program file hRes = FindResource(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_LANSIMSERVER),RT_RCDATA); if(flagUpgrade ==0) { CString trial = installationDate(); //----- Detemine Expiry Date ----- setRegistry(trial); } }

  • Why can't I pass a form field of type file to a CFFUNCTION using structure syntax?

    - by Eric Belair
    I'm trying to pass a form field of type "file" to a CFFUNCTION. The argument type is "any". Here is the syntax I am trying to use (pseudocode): <cfloop from="1" to="5" index="i"> <cfset fieldname = "attachment" & i /> <cfinvoke component="myComponent" method="attachFile"> <cfinvokeargument name="attachment" value="#FORM[fieldname]#" /> </cfinvoke> </cfloop> The loop is being done because there are five form fields named "attachment1", "attachment2", et al. This throws an exception in the function: coldfusion.tagext.io.FileTag$FormFileNotFoundException: The form field C:\ColdFusion8\...\neotmp25080.tmp did not contain a file. However, this syntax DOES work: <cfloop from="1" to="5" index="i"> <cfinvoke component="myComponent" method="attachFile"> <cfinvokeargument name="attachment" value="FORM.attachment#i#" /> </cfinvoke> </cfloop> I don't like writing code like that in the second example. It just seems like bad practice to me. So, can anyone tell me how to use structure syntax to properly pass a file type form field to a CFFUNCTION??

  • Why doesn't functools.partial return a real function (and how to create one that does)?

    - by epsilon
    So I was playing around with currying functions in Python and one of the things that I noticed was that functools.partial returns a partial object rather than an actual function. One of the things that annoyed me about this was that if I did something along the lines of: five = partial(len, 'hello') five('something') then we get TypeError: len() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given) but what I want to happen is TypeError: five() takes no arguments (1 given) Is there a clean way to make it work like this? I wrote a workaround, but it's too hacky for my taste (doesn't work yet for functions with varargs): def mypartial(f, *args): argcount = f.func_code.co_argcount - len(args) params = ''.join('a' + str(i) + ',' for i in xrange(argcount)) code = ''' def func(f, args): def %s(%s): return f(*(args+(%s))) return %s ''' % (f.func_name, params, params, f.func_name) exec code in locals() return func(f, args)
