Hey, my problem is as follows,
I am trying to create code where a set of sporting fixtures are created with dates on.
Say I have 8 teams, with 7 rounds of fixtures.
I have generated the fixtures, but want to add a date generation on them.
So if i had 7 rounds, I would put 28 days and it would make each round 4 days from now, 8 days from now, etc.
What would be the best way to go about doing this?
Thanks
I need to produce demonstration video screencasts for my iPhone app... I'm referring to those such as this one for the Reddit iPhone app (the one on the right, not the YouTube video).
I'm assuming the best way to do this is to record the simulator using a screen recording utility, does anyone have any other methods? What tools have you used successfully?
Within my site I have controller specific CSS files in addition to my master css file. For example

What is the best way to break up a recursive function that is using a ton of resources
For example:
function do_a_lot(){
//a lot of code and processing is done here
//it takes a lot of execution time
if($true){
//if true we have to do all of that processing again
do_a_lot();
}
}
Is there anyway to make the server only have to take the brunt of the first execution and then break up the recursion into separate processes? Or am I dreaming?
I am having some low level issues with IntelliJ on my mac, I really want to just zero everything out and start over. But even after removing the application and re-installing it, IntelliJ still remembers things like what the last project was, what licensing key to use etc. Where is this information stored? And what is the best way to clear it out?

The amount of records to be displayed in drop-down combo boxes affect the performance of internet applications. What are the current best practices to solve this problem? Are paginated drop-downs the only solution? What is considered a large list? 100 or 1000?
I'm putting in some effort to learn Python, and I am paying close attention to common coding standards. This may seem like a pointlessly nit-picky question, but I am trying to focus on best-practices as I learn, so I don't have to unlearn any 'bad' habits.
I see two common methods for initializing a dict:
a = {
'a': 'value',
'another': 'value',
}
b = dict(
a='value',
another='value',
)
Which is considered to be "more pythonic"? Which do you use? Why?
What is the best way to interop with NHibernate 2.0 and ASP.NET 3.5? How can I easily develop a CRUD application?

Thank you.
So I'm searching for a good crash course on localstorage and interacting with it in Javascript. I want to build a to-do list webapp with some extra functionality but it would be just for 1 user. I don't want to mess with php/mysql and have the server doing anything. Links to tutorials would be best :-D
I don't know how to make a link_to because I'dont have a nouveau_message_path in rake routes
rake routes :
GET /nouveau_message/.:id {:action=>"nouveau_message", :controller=>"messages"}
routes.rb :
controller :messages do
get 'nouveau_message/.:id' => :nouveau_message
end
What is the best way to make a link_to to nouveau_message from another view ?
Thanks
I have found myself doing a lot of work to get nHibernate setup and am left wondering: Why use a framework like Hibernate/NHibernate? I am sure that quite a few people love the framework but I am unclear on the advantages and disadvantages. What are the advantages and disadvantages of lazy loading, and are there other features to Hibernate? Is there anything that makes a framework like this easier to use (best practices, other frameworks, etc)?
I am trying to fumble through python, and learn the best way to do things. I have a string where I am doing a compare with another string to see if there is a match:
if paid[j].find(d)>=0:
#BLAH BLAH
If 'd' were an array, what is the most efficient way to see if the string contained in paid[j] has a match to any value in 'd'?
Can anyone recommend a language, library, framework or book which focuses on GUI programming from the perspective of a web developer?
I have experience in web development, for example HTML/AJAX/PHP/MySQL among similar technologies. However, I have never programmed my own back-end, or any kind of standalone program. Does anyone have experience making this transition, and what would I best study to help make the leap from the browser to creating programs with GUIs (primarily for Windows)?

Now I would like to finally integrate my Branch with the Trunk. What is the best way to go about this? I cannot use the re-integrate option because our SVN server version is only 1.4.

Apple doesn't offer promotional codes for in-app purchases. What's the best way to let users try the features or content unlocked by in-app purchases for free, while complying with Apple's Developer Guidelines?
Examples of apps that worked around this limitation would be much appreciated.
What is the best library to do this?
I am surprised this question has not been asked before. Is it impossible? That would be surprising too.
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
I am using the JQuery load function to load part of my page. Can I access the variables from that page in the page that loads it. e.g.
Page A uses JQuery load function to load B
Page B loads and sets a variable in context called pageB_var which holds a django object
Page A can then access this variable by doing {{pageB_var}} since it was added to the context
If not what is the best way of doing this?
Thanks
