• Why does typeof NaN return 'number'?

  - by KooiInc

  Just out of curiosity. It doesn't seem very logical that typeof NaN is number. Just like NaN === NaN or NaN == NaN returning false, by the way. Is this one of the peculiarities of javascript, or would there be a reason for this?

• ASP.NET sets of technologies/components

  - by Maxim Gueivandov

  Just a question of pure curiosity. It happens that development teams tend to stick to the same technological set(s) for some time, for various reasons (obviously, the lack of time, money, necessity and/or willingless to adopt new technologies). So, what are your usual sets of technologies/components to build an ASP.NET application (e.g., WebForms / MVC, Automapper, NInject, NHibernate / LinqToSql, JQuery / ASP.NET Ajax, ...) or architectural frameworks (Arch#, Catharsis, ...) and in which context do you use them (site size, speed/availability requirements, etc.)?

• Can you reverse order a string in one line with LINQ or a LAMBDA expression

  - by Student for Life

  Not that I would want to use this practically (for many reasons) but out of strict curiousity I would like to know if there is a way to reverse order a string using LINQ and/or LAMBDA expressions in one line of code, without utilising any framework "Reverse" methods. e.g. string value = "reverse me"; string reversedValue = (....); and reversedValue will result in "em esrever" EDIT Clearly an impractical problem/solution I know this, so don't worry it's strictly a curiosity question around the LINQ/LAMBDA construct.

• Can Java's random function be zero?

  - by ThirdD3gree

  Just out of curiosity, can Math.random() ever be zero? For example, if I were to have: while (true){ if (Math.random() == 0) return 1; } Would I ever actually get a return of one? There's also rounding error to consider because Math.random() returns a double. I ask because my CS professor stated that random() goes from 0 to 1 inclusive, and I always thought it was exclusive.

• code style for private methods in c#

  - by illdev

  I just found out, that it seems a common pattern to user UpperFirstLetterPascalCase() for private methods. I for myself, find this completely inconsistent with naming rules of private instance fields and variables and I find it difficult to read/debug, too. I would want to ask, why using a first upper letter for methods could be a better choice than a first lower (doThis())? Just out of curiosity...

• Getting a visitors Facebook page

  - by Mr Carl

  Hey guys, this is more of a question out of curiosity, but is it possible to get somebody's Facebook page after they have visited your site? Was thinking maybe a chain of lookup stuff could be used starting with an IP to eventually perhaps get a name and thus that person's Facebook page. I have also heard you can read somebody's web history, is this true?

• For what applications is Forth best suited?

  - by namin

  I am intrigued by stack-based languages like Forth. Are there situations where Forth is the best tool for the job or is it just an intellectual and historical curiosity? What about derivative languages like Factor or Joy? Which of these languages would you recommend learning? And for what purpose (apart from mind expansion)?

• Why can't I create a Date from a string including milliseconds?

  - by KooiInc

  In javascript you can create a Date object from a string, like var mydate = new Date('2008/05/10 12:08:20'); console.log(mydate); //=> Sat May 10 2008 12:08:20 GMT+0200 Now try this using milliseconds in the string var mydate = new Date('2008/05/10 12:08:20:551'); // or '2008/05/10 12:08:20.551' console.log(mydate); //=> NaN Just out of curiosity: why is this?

• jQuery for XUL?

  - by Aaron de Windt

  I have read on the internet and found out that jQuery works OK on XUL. My questions are: Are there any jQuery plugins that are specially made to work with XUL? Is there any other jQuery-like library that was specially made for XUL? I have not yet tested jQuery on XUL, I'm just asking these questions for curiosity.

• Looking for Programming Language that allows you to change true and false.

  - by Maushu

  For my curiosity sake I'm looking for a dynamic object oriented language that allows you to change true to false and vice versa. Something like this: true = false, false = true; This should also affect any conditional statements, therefore 42 == 42 should return False. Basically, with this premise, nothing in the language would be safe from the programmer. Is there any language like this?

• mysql_query -- question about results "location"

  - by Andrew Heath

  Forgive me if this is a particularly stupid question! mysql_query($query) returns a boolean, but you can also assign it to a variable $results = mysql_query($query) and then use the other mysql_ functions to extract data. Out of curiosity, how does mysq_query($query) act as both a boolean and a data container at the same time? What's happening "under the hood" during these steps? (yes, I am a n00b..., please be kind!)

• Having another static method as the entry point of the java program?

  - by GK

  As we all know java program will start executing from the main method of the class. So was curious to know that is there any other way by which we can make another static method as the entry point, that is can we override this property of the JVM to start with some other method than main? many of you will ask why do you want to do this? so want to make it clear that its just a curiosity to know about. And if it is there then it might help in many ways

• More trivia than really important: Why no new() constraint on Activator.CreateInstance<T>() ?

  - by flq

  I think there are people who may be able to answer this, this is a question out of curiosity: The generic CreateInstance method from System.Activator, introduced in .NET v2 has no type constraints on the generic argument but does require a default constructor on the activated type, otherwise a MissingMethodException is thrown. To me it seems obvious that this method should have a type constraint like Activator.CreateInstance<T>() where T : new() { ... } Just an omission or some anecdote lurking here?

• Why doesn't Java allow for the creaton of generic arrays?

  - by byte

  There are plenty of questions on stackoverflow from people who have attempted to create an array of generics like so: ArrayList<Foo>[] poo = new ArrayList<Foo>[5]; And the answer of course is that the Java specification doesn't allow you to declare an array of generics. My question however is why ? What is the technical reason underlying this restriction in the java language or java vm? It's a technical curiosity I've always wondered about.

• Programmatically find the number of cores on a machine

  - by hazzen

  This is more of a curiosity question than something that needs actual solving, but is there a way to determine how many cores a machine has from C++ in a platform-independent way? If no such thing exists, what about determining it per-platform (Windows/*nix/Mac)?
