I tried to enter the following at the prompt:

Thanks.

I'm writing a game and I've got a console for developers to interact with JavaScript methods in the game. I have a problem though; I can't figure out how to drop JavaScript errors to the console. Is there anyway to write errors to a div or HTML element?
In your favorite programming language, write a program that, when run, will print out its own source code!
Sounds interesting, now let's go!
ps: Literally, there is "NO" use case for this, just plain curiosity!
I am creating a document database which business people will be able to easily send documents to. Which file format do you think is the most understandable and easy to write by business / non-technical people?
My current contenders are XML, JSON, and YAML
I typically write my scripts with a structure like s
#!/usr/bin/python
import stuff
def do_things():
print "FOO"
def main():
do_things()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
The problem I have is I'd like to have a logging function that is defined globally and I"m not really sure how to do this. I tried a decorator function but if I define it in main I can't call it from other functions in the script. It seems like something that should be easy to do but not something I have experience with.
Hi,
I want to write a simple text editor for iPhone with syntax highlighting support for c,c++.
But the problem is, I dont't know how to do this. The first solution I was thinking about, was to go over the text and highlight keywords when the value of the UITextView has changed, but I think that if I got more than 1000lines of code that doesn't work very well.
Thanks for help!
I'm trying to iterate through a properties file which contains a list of keys like:
message.p1
message.p2
message.p3
I don't know how many properties will be in the file, so I want to display any that are present. Is there a standard tag like <fmt:message> that can handle this, or do I need to write some jsp script to handle the loop?
hi all

It seems pretty common to me to have an argument, in a dynamically typed language that is either an Object or a key to lookup that object. For instance when I'm working with a database I might have a method getMyRelatedStuff(person)
All I really need to lookup the related stuff is the id of the person so my method could look like this in python:
def getMyRelatedStuff(person_or_id):
id = person_or_id.id if isinstance(person,User) else person_or_id
#do some lookup
Or going the other direction:
def someFileStuff(file_or_name):
file = file_or_name if hasattr(file,'write') else open(file_or_name)
Does anyone know of a way to copy files with Paperclip using S3 for storage? Before I try to write my own, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't already a way to do this. Speaking of copying, is there an easier way of copying a whole model including all of its has_many relationships? Sorry for the second question but it kind of fits! :) Thanks
I want to add a few drawing functions to an iPhone project for drawing things. Something like drawTile(x,y,len,wid); which would call openGL to draw a box somewhere. I should just be able to write a procedural C file to do this but the openGL libraries are objective C and I'm getting weird errors. Do I have to make a class for all of my drawing commands and call class methods?
Suppose I want to add minor syntactic sugars to Java. Just little things like adding regex pattern literals, or perhaps base-2 literals, or multiline strings, etc. Nothing major grammatically (at least for now).
How would one go about doing this?
Do I need to extend the bytecode compiler? (Is that possible?)
Can I write Eclipse plugins to do simple source code transforms before feeding it to the standard Java compiler?
What would be the best way to write an app for the iPhone OS and the Android OS that allows access to a web blog (posted on blogspot.com)? Are there ways to manipulate the incoming data from the website to fit the UI of the phones, or will I have to re-do a lot of the blogs?
Any help would be nice! And thank you in advance!
Hello.. i want to make a textarea that contains already "Please describe why", and then when you click on the textarea and wants to write in it, it disappears..
is there any local file manipulation that's been done with javascript? i'm looking for a solution that can be accomplished with no install footprint like requiring AIR.
specifically, i'd like to read the contents from a file and write those contents to another file. at this point i'm not worried about gaining permissions, just assuming i already have full permissions to these files.
HI need to be able to select a state and be given a list of the bordering states. Does anyone have or know of code already done for this?
If I have to write it myself, what would be the best way - possibly a mysql database of borders (two state columns for each row), and then select matching?
I need to get absolute path to file in local server:

Path "http://localhost/site.com/file.txt" can not write to this file, so I can not use it.
What is absolute path for that file?

Hi,
this is something I know I should embrass in my coding projects but, due to lack of knowledge and my legendary lazyness, I do not do.
In fact, when I do them, I feel like overloaded and I finally give up.
What I am looking for is a good book/tutorial on how to really write good tests -i.e useful and covering a large spectrum of the code -.
Regards
