• SSRS Issue: Rounding to nearest .25

  - by D.R.

  I have an SSRS (2008) report that takes in a raw transactions, then groups and totals them. At the "Total" level, I would like to round the final numbers to the nearest .25, however I cannot find a method to do this. According to what I've read, the Round() function in SSRS only rounds to integers. I have found a couple ways to do it in SQL, but the problem is, I want to do all the calculations with the REAL numbers and just round the result so that I don't introduce a significant amount of error from the real numbers. Here's the best SQL solution I could find: dec(round(number * 4, 0)/4,11,2) as Nearest_Qtr Anyone know how I could do the equivalent in the actual SSRS report? Thanks in advance for the help!

• What are the differences between these three patterns of "class" definitions in JavaScript?

  - by user1889765

  Are there any important/subtle/significant differences under the hood when choosing to use one of these three patterns over the others? And, are there any differences between the three when "instantiated" via Object.create() vs the new operator? The pattern that CoffeeScript uses when translating "class" definitions: Animal = (function() { function Animal(name) { this.name = name; } Animal.prototype.move = function(meters) { return alert(this.name + (" moved " + meters + "m.")); }; return Animal; })(); and The pattern that Knockout seems to promote: var DifferentAnimal = function(name){ var self = this; self.name = name; self.move = function(meters){ return alert(this.name + (" moved " + meters + "m.")); }; return {name:self.name, move:self.move}; } and The pattern that Backbone promotes: var OneMoreAnimal= ClassThatAlreadyExists.extend({ name:'', move:function(){} });

• Why do debug symbols so adversely affect the performance of threaded applications on Linux?

  - by fluffels

  Hi. I'm writing a ray tracer. Recently, I added threading to the program to exploit the additional cores on my i5 Quad Core. In a weird turn of events the debug version of the application is now running slower, but the optimized build is running faster than before I added threading. I'm passing the "-g -pg" flags to gcc for the debug build and the "-O3" flag for the optimized build. Host system: Ubuntu Linux 10.4 AMD64. I know that debug symbols add significant overhead to the program, but the relative performance has always been maintained. I.e. a faster algorithm will always run faster in both debug and optimization builds. Any idea why I'm seeing this behavior?

• Given a short (2-week) sprint, is it ever acceptable to forgo TDD to "get things done"?

  - by Ben Aston

  Given a short sprint, is it ever acceptable to forgo TDD to "get things done" within the sprint. For example a given piece of work might need say 1/3 of the sprint to design the object model around an existing implementation. Under this scenario you might well end up with implemented code, say half way through the sprint, without any tests (implementing unit tests during this "design" stage would add significant effort and the tests would likely be thrown away a few times until the final "design" is settled upon). You might then spend a day or two in the second week adding in unit / integration tests after the fact. Is this acceptable?

• fast on-demand c++ compilation [closed]

  - by Amit Prakash

  I'm looking at the possibility of building a system where when a query hits the server, we turn the query into c++ code, compile it as shared object and the run the code. The time for compilation itself needs to be small for it to be worthwhile. My code can generate the corresponding c++ code but if I have to write it out on disk and then invoke gcc to get a .so file and then run it, it does not seem to be worth it. Are there ways in which I can get a small snippet of code to compile and be ready as a share object fast (can have a significant start up time before the queries arrive). If such a tool has a permissive license thats a further plus. Edit: I have a very restrictive query language that the users can use so the security threat is not relevant. My own code translates the query into c++ code. The answer mentioning clang is perfect.

• Create "duplicate copy" of github repository

  - by user1483934

  I see answers to similar questions and I'm sure I may just not be familiar enough with Git and Github terminology to know if they apply to my question. What I need to do is to clone an existing Github remote repository (a private repo under another person's username that I have contributor access to) and create a new private remote repo under my account. The existing repo user is going to make significant alterations to the repo, delete, and re-push, before they do that they want me to clone and create a duplicate so we can continue working from the repo under my user. I want to preserve the commit history with the repo if possible. I've cloned locally but don't can't seem to figure out how to push it to a new remote that isn't origined to the original user.

• How much effort does it take to spoof an Ip Address in a call to a webservice?

  - by Rory Becker

  I don't want to know how... Just how complicated.... I'm thinking of securing a webservice or 2 based on the incoming client ipaddress of the caller. Is this in any way secure? Surely if the IPaddress was being spoofed then the result would have to be sent back to the address that was being spoofed and therefore not reach the spoofer? Update: Ok so from what I can tell.... I should create a Gettoken() method which checks the IPaddress and passes out a cryptographically significant token with a timeout to any valid IP address. This is then required by any other method before any kind of side effect is allowed. Since an Attacker can't (likely) get the token without having a valid IP, he will be unable to validly call any of my "dangerous" webmethods ?

• python len calculation

  - by n00bz0r

  I'm currently trying to build a RDP client in python and I came across the following issue with a len check; From: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc240836%28v=prot.10%29.aspx "81 2a - ConnectData::connectPDU length = 298 bytes Since the most significant bit of the first byte (0x81) is set to 1 and the following bit is set to 0, the length is given by the low six bits of the first byte and the second byte. Hence, the value is 0x12a, which is 298 bytes." This sounds weird. For normal len checks, I'm simply using : struct.pack("h",len(str(PacketLen))) but in this case, I really don't see how I can calculate the len as described above. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated !

• Switching to FormViewMode.Edit is very slow

  - by Tim

  When i switch an ASP.Net Formview from readonly mode to edit mode it takes more than 6 seconds(from edit to readonly takes a split second). I have no idea whats the reason for it. The EditItemTemplate contains a lot of controls(table,textboxes,dropdownlists) but in fact not more than the ItemTemplate has. Yet i have even commented out the complete FormView.DataBound where the controls are data bounded but without significant change. My ASP.Net Web Apllication is using Ajax and the Formview is completely nested in an UpdatePanel. Any suggestions or assumptions for this behaviour?

• Should I Split Tables Relevant to X Module Into Different DB? Mysql

  - by Michael Robinson

  I've inherited a rather large and somewhat messy codebase, and have been tasked with making it faster, less noodly and generally better. Currently we use one big database to hold all data for all aspects of the site. As we need to plan for significant growth in the future, I'm considering splitting tables relevant to specific sections of the site into different databases, so if/when one gets too large for one server I can more easily migrate some user data to different mysql servers while retaining overall integrity. I would still need to use joins on some tables across the new databases. Is this a normal thing to do? Would I incur a performance hit because of this?

• Using Custom Generic Collection faster with objects than List

  - by Kaminari

  I'm iterating through a List<> to find a matching element. The problem is that object has only 2 significant values, Name and Link (both strings), but has some other values which I don't want to compare. I'm thinking about using something like HashSet (which is exactly what I'm searching for -- fast) from .NET 3.5 but target framework has to be 2.0. There is something called Power Collections here: http://powercollections.codeplex.com/, should I use that? But maybe there is other way? If not, can you suggest me a suitable custom collection?

• Indexing XMLType columns

  - by Chris

  Hello, I am working with a XMLType and currently experiencing significant performance issues and would like to incorporate indexing to the column type. Currently I am taking the approach of using the XMLTable() and XQuery functions to create a virtual table. I would like to use this Virtual Table to create a function based index on the table containing the XMLType, but I am receiving this error: Error report: SQL Error: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis 00907. 00000 - "missing right parenthesis" *Cause: *Action: This is the index.. any assistance would be greatly appreciated. CREATE INDEX indx_medicinalproduct ON d.ProductName XMLTable('for $i at $a in /safetyreport/patient//drug for $j in $i/medicinalproduct return element r { $i/medicinalproduct }' PASSING s.safetyreport COLUMNS ProductName varchar2(70) PATH 'medicinalproduct') d;

• Faking a Single Address Space

  - by dsimcha

  I have a large scientific computing task that parallelizes very well with SMP, but at too fine grained a level to be easily parallelized via explicit message passing. I'd like to parallelize it across address spaces and physical machines. Is it feasible to create a scheduler that would parallelize already multithreaded code across multiple physical computers under the following conditions: The code is already multithreaded and can scale pretty well on SMP configurations. The fact that not all of the threads are running in the same address space or on the same physical machine must be transparent to the program, even if this comes at a significant performance penalty in some use cases. You may assume that all of the physical machines involved are running operating systems and CPU architectures that are binary compatible. Things like locks and atomic operations may be slow (having network latency to deal with and all) but must "just work".

• Current state of Erlang web development? Frameworks, Template languages

  - by pommonico

  Django is to Python as Rails is to Ruby. What is the current front-runner for Erlang? Recent Erlang web activity has resulted in many new frameworks but they are all still moving targets. ErlyWeb is very far along but now seems to be dead. If you were to invest significant capital into a new web product (i.e. not a hobby, you use your own money and you use other's investment in you with expectation of payback), would you choose Erlang as a web platform? If so, what framework and technologies would you choose?

• PHP - Why does my computation produce a different result when I assign it to a variable?

  - by David

  I want to round a number to a specific number of significant digits - basically I want the following function: round(12345.67, 2) -> 12000 round(8888, 3) -> 8890 I have the following, but there's a strange problem. function round_to_sf($number, $sf) { $mostsigplace = floor(log10(abs($number)))+1; $num = $number / pow(10, ($mostsigplace-$sf)); echo ($number / pow(10, ($mostsigplace-$sf))).' '.$num.'<BR>'; } round_to_sf(41918.522, 1); Produces the following output: 4.1918522 -0 How can the result of a computation be different when it's assigned to a variable?

• How to Audit Database Activity without Performance and Scalability Issues?

  - by GotoError

  I have a need to do auditing all database activity regardless of whether it came from application or someone issuing some sql via other means. So the auditing must be done at the database level. The database in question is Oracle. I looked at doing it via Triggers and also via something called Fine Grained Auditing that Oracle provides. In both cases, we turned on auditing on specific tables and specific columns. However, we found that Performance really sucks when we use either of these methods. Since auditing is an absolute must due to regulations placed around data privacy, I am wondering what is best way to do this without significant performance degradations. If someone has Oracle specific experience with this, it will be helpful but if not just general practices around database activity auditing will be okay as well.

• Speed up this query joining to a table multiple times

  - by Mongus Pong

  Hi, I have this query that (stripped right down) goes something like this : SELECT [Person_PrimaryContact].[LegalName], [Person_Manager].[LegalName], [Person_Owner].[LegalName], [Person_ProspectOwner].[LegalName], [Person_ProspectBDM].[LegalName], [Person_ProspectFE].[LegalName], [Person_Signatory].[LegalName] FROM [Cache] LEFT JOIN [dbo].[Person] AS [Person_Owner] WITH (NOLOCK) ON [Person_Owner].[PersonID] = [Cache].[ClientOwnerID] LEFT JOIN [dbo].[Person] AS [Person_Manager] WITH (NOLOCK) ON [Person_Manager].[PersonID] = [Cache].[ClientManagerID] LEFT JOIN [dbo].[Person] AS [Person_Signatory] WITH (NOLOCK) ON [Person_Signatory].[PersonID] = [Cache].[ClientSignatoryID] LEFT JOIN [dbo].[Person] AS [Person_PrimaryContact] WITH (NOLOCK) ON [Person_PrimaryContact].[PersonID] = [Cache].[PrimaryContactID] LEFT JOIN [dbo].[Person] AS [Person_ProspectOwner] WITH (NOLOCK) ON [Person_ProspectOwner].[PersonID] = [Cache].[ProspectOwnerID] LEFT JOIN [dbo].[Person] AS [Person_ProspectBDM] WITH (NOLOCK) ON [Person_ProspectBDM].[PersonID] = [Cache].[ProspectBDMID] LEFT JOIN [dbo].[Person] AS [Person_ProspectFE] WITH (NOLOCK) ON [Person_ProspectFE].[PersonID] = [Cache].[ProspectFEID] Person is a huge table and each join to it has a pretty significant hit in the execution plan. Is there anyway I can adjust this query so that I am only linking to it once, or at least get SQL Server to scan through it only once?

• Help me validate these points regarding Ruby

  - by Bragaadeesh

  Hi, I have started learning Ruby for the past 2,3 weeks and I have come up with some findings on the language. Can someone please validate these points. Implemented in many other high level languages such as C, Java, .Net etc., Is slow for the obvious reason that it cannot beat any of the already known high level languages. Should never be compared with any other high level language. Not suitable for large applications. Completely open source and is in a budding state. Has a framework called Rails which claims that it would be good for Agile development Community out there is getting better day by day and finding help immediately should not be a problem as time goes by. Has significant changes between releases which many developers wont welcome right away. Running time cannot be comprehensively estimated since the language has several underlying implementation in several languages. Books are always outdated by the time when you finish them. Thanks.

• Is it possible to submit an update for an app on the AppStore without losing reviews?

  - by Frank Krueger

  Whenever I submit an update for me app, the number of reviews visible for it drops to 0. If the customer bothers to click through they can see the previous versions' reviews... But the damage has been done. Since the app has 0 stars, I see a significant drop in sales. It takes the app a good week of earning new reviews to restore sales. I usually version the app as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 etc. Is there something I can do during the update process to prevent losing reviews like this?

• Fast, cross-platform timer?

  - by dsimcha

  I'm looking to improve the D garbage collector by adding some heuristics to avoid garbage collection runs that are unlikely to result in significant freeing. One heuristic I'd like to add is that GC should not be run more than once per X amount of time (maybe once per second or so). To do this I need a timer with the following properties: It must be able to grab the correct time with minimal overhead. Calling core.stdc.time takes an amount of time roughly equivalent to a small memory allocation, so it's not a good option. Ideally, should be cross-platform (both OS and CPU), for maintenance simplicity. Super high resolution isn't terribly important. If the times are accurate to maybe 1/4 of a second, that's good enough. Must work in a multithreaded/multi-CPU context. The x86 rdtsc instruction won't work.

• About a Class Object

  - by Chicko Bueno

  I have a very basic question about a class object. After the class has been created, we need to create a class object. At this point, I'm a bit confused to make either *object or object. Example: CClass object CClass *object What is the difference both of them? And to access class function i need to use dot '.' and arrow '->'. I know dot and arrow used to access class function, but what is the significant meaning for both dot and arrow?

• moving a website built on struts to a CMS

  - by fabiobeta

  Hi. Imagine having developed a classical website with java&struts. Now you customer is learning that redeploying the application to change an image or a text is a significant cost. And it asks to add a function to the site: cms-like handling of the contents (editing, versioning, approved publishing). How would you handle this request? Would you develop it in the webapp? Would you merge the webapp with a CMS? Would tou MOVE the webapp into a cms? Would you run away?

• What is the role of `while`-loops in computation expressions in F#?

  - by MizardX

  If you define a While method of the builder-object, you can use while-loops in your computation expressions. The signature of the While method is: member b.While (predicate:unit->bool, body:M<'a>) : M<'a> For comparison, the signature of the For method is: member b.For (items:seq<'a>, body:unit->M<'a>) : M<'a> You should notice that, in the While-method, the body is a simple type, and not a function as in the For method. You can embed some other statements, like let and function-calls inside your computation-expressions, but those can impossibly execute in a while-loop more than once. builder { while foo() do printfn "step" yield bar() } Why is the while-loop not executed more than once, but merely repeated? Why the significant difference from for-loops? Better yet, is there some intended strategy for using while-loops in computation-expressions?
