  • When using emacs do you rebind caps-lock to CTRL?

    - by Wayne Werner
    This question is, as indicated, for those who use Emacs. When you do, do you rebind the caps-lock key to CTRL, or do you use the "normal" ctrl key? I've recently learned some Emacs commands and was using the Visual Studio 2008 emacs commands for a while, and of course I used a caps-rebind tool, but I'm curious how many other people do. On a side note, the emacs bindings for VS are severely incomplete :(

  • AbsoluteTime with an integer argument behaves strangely.

    - by dreeves
    This is strange: DateList@AbsoluteTime[596523] returns {2078, 7, 2, 2, 42, 9.7849} But DateList@AbsoluteTime[596524] returns {1942, 5, 26, 20, 28, 39.5596} The question: What's going on? Note that AbsoluteTime with an integer argument is undocumented. (I think I now know what it's doing but figured this is useful to have as a StackOverflow question for future reference; and I'm curious if there's some reason for that magic 596523 number.)

  • Where did the name `atoi` come from?

    - by Earlz
    Ok I've been curious about this for a while. In the C language where did they come up with the name atoi for converting a string to an integer? The only thing I can think of is Array To Integer for an acronym but that doesn't really make sense.

  • Random RAM usage amounts

    - by DTown
    I was hoping someone could explain why my application when loaded uses varying amounts of RAM. I'm speaking about a compiled version that uses the exe directly. It's a pretty basic applications and there are no conditional branches in the startup of the application. Yet every time I start it up the RAM amount varies from 6MB-16MB. I know it's on the small end of usage anyways but I'm curious of why this happens.

  • Why file upload error codes in php miss number '5'?

    - by Majid
    I am writing a custom error handling/reporting function for php file upload and I noticed that the error codes returned is one of numbers 0 to 8 except 5. Is this a typo in the source I am using or is it really this way? And if it is so, I am curious why they have skipped number '5'. Thanks.

  • A question about matrix manipulation

    - by appi
    Given a 1*N matrix or an array, how do I find the first 4 elements which have the same value and then store the index for those elements? PS: I'm just curious. What if we want to find the first 4 elements whose value differences are within a certain range, say below 2? For example, M=[10,15,14.5,9,15.1,8.5,15.5,9.5], the elements I'm looking for will be 15,14.5,15.1,15.5 and the indices will be 2,3,5,7.

  • Is it best to code from a blank sheet or improving a code that's already written?

    - by user300371
    Just had a curious thought, but for general coding and programming, do you think it's best to work out all the logic yourself and start from a blank sheet or just take a code that has been written already(by you or someone else) and just change it to your liking? Assuming you have a programming background of like 1year+. (because as a beginner, it's best to learn from nothing) I'm not saying copy+paste someone else's code and say it's yours.

  • Does anyone use config files for javascript?

    - by Ek0nomik
    We have javascript files that are environment specific, and so I was thinking of going down the path of creating a generic way to read in an XML (config) file to store different environment specific settings. I was curious to know if anybody else on here does that (or if not, is there a reason why you don't)?

  • What do people find difficult about C pointers?

    - by Paul
    From the number of questions posted here, it's clear that people have some pretty fundemental issues when getting their heads around pointers and pointer arithmetic. I'm curious to know why. They've never really caused me major problems (although I first learned about them back in the Neolithic). In order to write better answers to these questions, I'd like to know what people find difficult. So, if you're struggling with pointers, or you recently were but suddenly "got it", what were the aspects of pointers that caused you problems?

  • Selenium IDE and telling it to record actions

    - by sprog
    I am trying to make a little application to allow to record actions within a Flash and Silverlight application. In such manner that you can compile your interactive application in test-mode and then be able to click on elements which then passed the action to Selenium IDE which then adds this command to the testcase. I am curious if this even possible and how I can achieve this in Firefox?

  • More dry views?

    - by Pravin
    I have a simple index page for clients. Client has 20 fields. I am displaying list of clients in a table. For this I have to write in my views something like: - @clients.each do |client| %tr %td=client.name %td=client.email %td=client.address %td=client.phone etc... I am just curious if I can do it something like - @clients.each do |client| - client do %tr %td= name %td= email %td= address %td= phone etc...

  • Best Practices for Internationalizing a Flex Appliaction?

    - by rgould
    I am looking into internationalizing a Flex application I am working on and I am curious if there are any best practices or recommendations for doing so. Googling for such information results in a handful of small articles and blog posts, each about doing it differently, and the advantages and disadvantages are not exactly clear. Edited to narrow scope: Need to support only two languages (en_CA and fr_CA) Need to be able to switch at runtime

  • FormsAuthentication AuthCookie data type

    - by FreshCode
    Does the original data type of the username string in a call to FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(...) make any difference with regards to security or code maintainability? As I understand it, the cookie is encrypted and used to identify a user on each request. I'm curious whether it should affect the design of the primary key on my Users table in my database, eg. Guid vs int or a unique username string.

  • What is DEFAULT_CC in function declaration?

    - by humoeba
    I'm relatively new to C, and am curious what this syntax means in a function declaration: int DEFAULT_CC foo(void) where DEFAULT_CC is probably defined somewhere else as: #define DEFAULT_CC "cc" Is this a direction to use a certain compiler or something?

  • Samples of Scala and Java code where Scala code looks simpler/has less lines?

    - by Roman
    I need some code samples (and I also really curious about them) of Scala and Java code which show that Scala code is more simple and concise then code written in Java (of course both samples should solve the same problem). If there is only Scala sample with comment like "this is abstract factory in Scala, in Java it will look much more cumbersome" then this is also acceptable. Thanks!

  • Why should I use display:table instead of table

    - by nimo9367
    What's the benefits of structuring my site with divs and apply the display:table property ( display:tr, display:tr). Doesn't this mean that the divs will behave exactly like tr and td elements? I know I probably shouldn’t use tables or table behavior for layout at all but I'm just curious if there's a difference and a benefit?

  • Opening a streaming connection to an HTTP server on iPhone/Cocoa environment?

    - by Paul
    I've been using NSURLConnection to do a HTTP post to establish the connection. I've also implemented the didReceiveData delegagate to process incoming bytes as they become available. As incoming data comes in via didReceiveData, I add the NSData to a data buffer and try parsing the bytesteam if enough data has come in to complete a message segment. I'm having a hard time managing the data buffer (NSMutableData object) to remove bytes that have been parsed to structs. Was curious if there's an easier way. Thanks

  • Progressively transparent image with CSS3?

    - by Teiviere
    I want images that gradually "gradient" to blend in with the background color (white/transparent) as it gets to the bottom. Is there a way I can apply a CSS3 gradient or some sort of gradual transparency using CSS3 to the bottom edges of the image so it looks like its fading into the background color? I know I can make images with some photoeditor to achieve that effect, but I am curious to know if CSS3 can accomplish it.

  • How to write a browser plugin?

    - by George Edison
    I'm curious as to the procedure for writing browser plugins for browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Opera. I'm thinking specifically of Windows here and would prefer working with C++. Note: I am not referring to extensions or 'addons'

  • Will server-side JavaScript take off? Which implementation is most stable?

    - by Steve M
    Does anyone see server-side JavaScript taking off? There are a couple of implementations out there, but it all seems to be a bit of a stretch (as in, "doing it BECAUSE WE CAN" type of attitude). I'm curious to know if anyone actually writes JavaScript for the server-side and what their experiences with it have been to date. Also, which implementation is generally seen as the most stable?
