  • Where do all the old programmers go?

    - by Tony Lambert
    I know some people move over to management and some die... but where do the rest go and why? One reason people change to management is that in some companies the "Programmer" career path is very short - you can get to be a senior programmer within a few years. Leaving no way to get more money but to become a manager. In other companies project managers and programmers are parallel career paths so your project manager can be your junior. Tony

  • Is the job title of "Webmaster" an anachronism?

    - by Phil.Wheeler
    I've worked with a few people who have the word "webmaster" either as part of their formal job title or as their actual title. The type of work these people do does relate loosely to the web, but I suspect better, more appropriate titles that more accurately reflect the job function would make more sense. Is the "webmaster" moniker still relevant today?

  • SQLiteOpenHelper.getWriteableDatabase() null pointer exception on Android

    - by Drew Dara-Abrams
    I've had fine luck using SQLite with straight, direct SQL in Android, but this is the first time I'm wrapping a DB in a ContentProvider. I keep getting a null pointer exception when calling getWritableDatabase() or getReadableDatabase(). Is this just a stupid mistake I've made with initializations in my code or is there a bigger issue? public class DatabaseProvider extends ContentProvider { ... private DatabaseHelper databaseHelper; private SQLiteDatabase db; ... @Override public boolean onCreate() { databaseHelper = new DatabaseProvider.DatabaseHelper(getContext()); return (databaseHelper == null) ? false : true; } ... @Override public Uri insert(Uri uri, ContentValues values) { db = databaseHelper.getWritableDatabase(); // NULL POINTER EXCEPTION HERE ... } private static class DatabaseHelper extends SQLiteOpenHelper { public static final String DATABASE_NAME = "cogsurv.db"; public static final int DATABASE_VERSION = 1; public static final String[] TABLES = { "people", "travel_logs", "travel_fixes", "landmarks", "landmark_visits", "direction_distance_estimates" }; // people._id does not AUTOINCREMENT, because it's set based on server's people.id public static final String[] CREATE_TABLE_SQL = { "CREATE TABLE people (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY," + "server_id INTEGER," + "name VARCHAR(255)," + "email_address VARCHAR(255))", "CREATE TABLE travel_logs (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," + "server_id INTEGER," + "person_local_id INTEGER," + "person_server_id INTEGER," + "start DATE," + "stop DATE," + "type VARCHAR(15)," + "uploaded VARCHAR(1))", "CREATE TABLE travel_fixes (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," + "datetime DATE, " + "latitude DOUBLE, " + "longitude DOUBLE, " + "altitude DOUBLE," + "speed DOUBLE," + "accuracy DOUBLE," + "travel_mode VARCHAR(50), " + "person_local_id INTEGER," + "person_server_id INTEGER," + "travel_log_local_id INTEGER," + "travel_log_server_id INTEGER," + "uploaded VARCHAR(1))", "CREATE TABLE landmarks (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," + "server_id INTEGER," + "name VARCHAR(150)," + "latitude DOUBLE," + "longitude DOUBLE," + "person_local_id INTEGER," + "person_server_id INTEGER," + "uploaded VARCHAR(1))", "CREATE TABLE landmark_visits (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," + "server_id INTEGER," + "person_local_id INTEGER," + "person_server_id INTEGER," + "landmark_local_id INTEGER," + "landmark_server_id INTEGER," + "travel_log_local_id INTEGER," + "travel_log_server_id INTEGER," + "datetime DATE," + "number_of_questions_asked INTEGER," + "uploaded VARCHAR(1))", "CREATE TABLE direction_distance_estimates (_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT," + "server_id INTEGER," + "person_local_id INTEGER," + "person_server_id INTEGER," + "travel_log_local_id INTEGER," + "travel_log_server_id INTEGER," + "landmark_visit_local_id INTEGER," + "landmark_visit_server_id INTEGER," + "start_landmark_local_id INTEGER," + "start_landmark_server_id INTEGER," + "target_landmark_local_id INTEGER," + "target_landmark_server_id INTEGER," + "datetime DATE," + "direction_estimate DOUBLE," + "distance_estimate DOUBLE," + "uploaded VARCHAR(1))" }; public DatabaseHelper(Context context) { super(context, DATABASE_NAME, null, DATABASE_VERSION); Log.v(Constants.TAG, "DatabaseHelper()"); } @Override public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase db) { Log.v(Constants.TAG, "DatabaseHelper.onCreate() starting"); // create the tables int length = CREATE_TABLE_SQL.length; for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) { db.execSQL(CREATE_TABLE_SQL[i]); } Log.v(Constants.TAG, "DatabaseHelper.onCreate() finished"); } @Override public void onUpgrade(SQLiteDatabase db, int oldVersion, int newVersion) { for (String tableName : TABLES) { db.execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS" + tableName); } onCreate(db); } } } As always, thanks for the assistance! -- Not sure if this detail helps, but here's LogCat showing the exception:

  • MySQL queries - how expensive are they really?

    - by incrediman
    I've heard that mysql queries are very expensive, and that you should avoid at all costs making too many of them. I'm developing a site that will be used by quite a few people, and I'm wondering: How expensive are mysql queries actually? If I have 400,000 people in my database, how expensive is it to query it for one of them? How close attention do I need to pay that I don't make too many queries per client request?

  • Lua Patterns,Tips and Tricks

    - by Robert Gould
    This is a Tips & Tricks question with the purpose of letting people accumulate their patterns, tips and tricks for Lua. Lua is a great scripting language, however there is a lack of documented patterns, and I'm sure everyone has their favorites, so newcomers and people wondering if they should use it or not can actually appreciate the language's beauty.

  • Google Analytic Metric to use for off-site banner click comparison

    - by EricPatterson
    I have all my off-site banner ads correctly campaign tracked/tagged but I want to know what metrics I should be looking at in the GA for the closest comparison to the ad servers clicks. I am pretty sure it wouldn't be Visits but I also see there is PageViews and UniquePageViews. My GA data is coming in way off from what the ad server manager people are telling my clicks are for said banners on their site. My other question is what type of percentage are other people seeing there data being off?

  • Would anyone tell me how to fetch the media:thumb element's attribute from a json feed?

    - by ash
    I made a yahoo pipe that pulls up the atoms as json format; however, I can fetch and display all the elements in my html page except for the element's attribute. Would anyone tell me how to fetch the media:thumb element's attribute from a json feed? I am pasting the html page's code with javascript. If you save the html page and then view it in browser, you will see that all the necessary elements get output at html page except for the media:thumb as I cannot display the attribute of media:thumb when the feed is formatted as json. I am also pasting the some portion of the json feed so that you can have an idea what i am talking about. Please tell me how to retrieve attribute from media:thumb element of a json feed by using plain javascript but no server side code or javascript library. Thank you. function getFeed(feed){ var newScript = document.createElement('script'); newScript.type = 'text/javascript'; newScript.src = 'http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=40616620df99780bceb3fe923cecd216&_render=json&_callback=piper'; document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(newScript); } function piper(feed){ var tmp=''; for (var i=0; i'; tmp+=feed.value.items[i].title+''; tmp+=feed.value.items[i].author.name+''; tmp+=feed.value.items[i].published+''; if (feed.value.items[i].description) { tmp+=feed.value.items[i].description+''; } tmp+='<hr>'; } document.getElementById('rssLayer').innerHTML=tmp; } </script> bchnbc ..............................................................

  • Protecting DLL's

    - by j-t-s
    Hi All Quite a few people have really taken interest in the dll's ivé sent them, and they're not the type that should be given away for free too often... I was just wondering, if I were to sell my components, user controls etc, how would I go about protecting them, in terms of ownership/encrypting code (if possible) etc.. What steps have you taken to help prevent people using yours without paying for them? Thank you very much! jt

  • Unit testing Jade

    - by Strawberry
    Hi, What techniques and design strategies have people used to aid in unit testing Jade applications? In particular, how do people typically go about testing Behaviours - which are tightly coupled to the Agent instance and the Jade environment? I'm aware of the JadeMX project, but this appears to be geared more towards system testing - in particular the message exchange between collaborating agents. Thanks.

  • Why there is no open source framework (like Java) for C# application development?

    - by Calvin
    Hi, C# is much more popular than Java in recent years. As a general-purpose programming language, many people feel that C# is better designed than Java. Why until now there is no open source framework for C# application development? Why no one take the initiative to develop a open source framework for C# which is comparable to Java? (Many people say Mono is not a mature framework and should not be used in serious application development.) Calvin

  • Deploy with rsync(or svn, git, cvs) and ignore inconsistent state during deployment?

    - by zedoo
    We are currently talking about deploying a website via rsync. However, during rsyncing the application is left in an inconsistent state, as some files may already be synced while others still are left with the old version right? How do people deal with this issue? I guess the same problem exists when deploying via svn/git/cvs. Should I just close the site, rsync, and open up again? Or do people simply ignore this inconsistency problem?

  • What is Lazy Loading?

    What is Lazy Loading? [Edit after reading a few answers] Why do people use this term so often? Say you just use a ASP/ADO recordset and load it with data or ADO.NET Datasource for a gridview. I guess I should have asked why people use the term Lazy Loading, what "other" types are their?

  • What was "The Next Big Thing" when you were just starting out in programming?

    - by Andrew
    I'm at the beginning of my career and there are lots of things which are being touted as "The Next Big Thing". For example: Dependency Injection (Spring, etc) MVC (Struts, ASP.NET MVC) ORMs (Linq To SQL, Hibernate) Agile Software Development These things have probably been around for some time, but I've only just started out. And don't get me wrong, I think these things are great! So, what was "The Next Big Thing" when you were starting out? When was it? Were people sceptical of it at first? Why? Did you think it would catch on? Did it pan out and become widely accepted/used? If not, why not? EDIT It's been nearly a week since I first posted this question and I can safely say that I did not expect such explosive interest. I asked the question so that I could gain a perspective of what kinds of innovations in programming people thought were most important when they were starting out. At the time of writing this I have read ~95% of all answers. To answer a few questions, the "Next Big Things" I listed are ones that I am currently really excited about and that I had not really been exposed to until I started working. I'm hoping to implement some or all of these in the near future at my current workplace. To many people they are probably old news. In regards to the "is this a real question" debate, I can see that obviously hasn't been settled yet. I feel bad whenever I read a comment saying that these kinds of questions take away from the real meaning of SO. I'm not wholly convinced that it doesn't. On the other hand, I have seen a lot of comments saying what a great question it is. Anyway, I have chosen "The Internet!" as my answer to this question. I don't think (in my very humble opinion, and, it seems many SOers opinions) that many things related to programming can compare. Nowadays every business and their dog has a website which can do anything from simply supplying information to purchasing goods halfway around the world to updating your blog. And of course, all these businesses need people like us. Thanks to everyone for all the great answers!

  • Where do you start your design - code, UI or workflow?

    - by Mmarquee
    Hi I was discussing this at work, and was wondering where people start their designs? We tend to start with designing code to solve the problem presented to us, but that is probably all of us are (or were) programmers. I was wondering where other people and organisations start their design. Do they start with solving the problem as a coding problem, sit down and design what UI to use, or map out the data or workflow? Thanks
