anybody has a mirror, or an export for VS 2008?
From a blog post by Jeff Atwood of the same title, I can tell from personal experience that it's much more easier to grasp math after having worked professionally as a developer for a while. I appreciate math much more as I can see it's real world applicability.
Can you recommend any resources/books that can help become familiar and comfortable…
Hi,
How can I implement an autocomplete using redis?
Say for example I have an array ["alfred","joel","jeff","addick"]. When I type a I get ["alfred", "addick"]
I hope you get the point. How can I implement this using redis commands efficiently(if possible but I think it is). It would be great if I could get some simple commands I can try out…
What are single-state and two-stage animation for rotating an iPhone window?
This is the "error" message I get in the Debugger Console (nothing crashes):
Using two-stage rotation animation. To use the smoother single-stage animation, this application must remove two-stage method implementations.
I was working through the book "Beginning…
I'm in need to toggle divs from a dropdown select option box. I'd like it similar to asmselect for jquery but instead of listing the option tag I'd like it to display a hidden div. Is there anything like this out there? Or anyone know how to set it up? Thanks, Jeff.

I have setted up svn srvice based on Jeff Atwood guidlines and can connect work with host via svn command lines like svn list svn://localhost, but TortoiseSVN can't connect to it even on server machine itself. All firewall…
G'day,
I've read both of Steve McConnell's excellent Code Complete books "Code Complete" and "Code Complete 2" and was wondering if people have any other suggestions for commenting code.co
My commenting mantra could be summed up by the basic idea of expressing "what the code below cannot say".
While enjoying this interesting blog…
How do you pronounce "Latex"?
In university my lecturers all called it LAY-tec, but I was just listing to StackOverflow podcast #69 where Joel and Jeff call it LAH-tec. I've also heard LAY-tex (like latex rubber) but that pronunciation seems to be universally shunned but people who actually use Latex.
Hi, I have a framework of basic to complex set of objects/classes (C++) running into around 500. With some rules and regulations - all these objects can communicate with each other and hence can cover most of the common queries in the domain.
My Dream:
I want to provide these objects as icons/glyphs (as I learnt recently) on a…
After reading Jeff's blog post and being fairly new to GUI programming, I'm wondering what the limits are on applying the "opposite of Fitt's Law." For example, is it a good idea to separate "Yes" and "No" on a dialog screen, or would that conflict with another programming rule? E.g. and
Jeff Ryan's quantmod package is an excellent contribution to the R finance world.

I have a ELF shared object with a symbol initialized to a value. I want to know what the value of a symbol is.
I know objdump -T will give me the symbol's address and length but I need the value:

Suppose you have an associative array
$hash['Fruit'] = 'Apple';
$hash['Name'] = 'Jeff';
$hash['Car'] = 'Ford';
and you cannot change the order in which these variables are created. So Car is always added to the array after Name, etc. What's the prettiest way to add/move Car to the beginning of the associative array…
Jeff Atwood asked the original question about parameterizing a SQL IN clause, but I want to do this with an integer column. If I try the code from the original post I get the following exception, which makes sense:
Conversion failed when converting the
varchar value '%|' to data type int.
Anyone try this…
In one of the StackOverflow Podcasts (the one where guys were discussing data generation for testing DBs -- either #11 or #12), Jeff mentioned something like "reverse regular expressions", which are used exactly for that purpose: given a regex, produce a string which will eventually match said regex.
What is the…
Does anyone know off hand what order Drupal executes it's _cron hooks? It is important for a certain custom module I am developing and can't seem to find any documentation on it on the web. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing!
Any help?

Has anyone been able to verify that the iPad cannot create an ad hoc network?
It has different radio hardware (the fact that it does 802.11n demonstrates this) than the iPhones, which I thought was the reason that the iPhones could not create WiFi networks.
I know this was sort of answered elsewhere, but I…

I have an action that returns data that seldom changes (almost static).
Is there an easy way to:
return 304 "Not Modified" from action;
include "Last-Modified" time stamp in the response.
I use return Content('my data'); for action result.
Basically I want an easy…
