  • How often should a programmer communicate with management?

    - by George Johnston
    I struggle with finding a good medium on communication. In our jobs, it seems like it's very easy to get lost in code and lose track of time. It also seems kind of ridiculous to send out updates for every tiny task. Even though I am working very hard on getting things done, in a company that has very active communication between other branches, it tends to look bad for me when I'm not constantly updating my status. However, if I'm working on a 3-4 hour project, I'm not going to update management for every single line of code that I output. Broad I know, depends on the people, company, etc, but what would be a good general rule of thumb for effective communication?

  • SQL: HAVING clause

    - by Craig Johnston
    See the following SQL statement: SELECT datediff("d", MAX(invoice.date), Now) As Date_Diff, MAX(invoice.date) AS max_invoice_date, customer.number AS customer_number FROM invoice INNER JOIN customer ON invoice.customer_number = customer.number GROUP BY customer.number If the the following was added: HAVING datediff("d", MAX(invoice.date), Now) > 365 would this simply exclude rows with Date_Diff <= 365? What should be the effect of the HAVING clause here?

  • Is it possible to produce a small preview or thumbnail image of a Crystal report in code?

    - by Lawrence Johnston
    I'm using Crystal to display the reports in my project, and I'd like to be able to display a small preview or thumbnail image of the report to the user when he or she is picking a report to display from my UI. Is there any way to produce these thumbnails dynamically from code? The user has the option to add or remove reports by adding or removing them from the reports folder, so just making all the thumbnail images by hand isn't really an option.

  • C#: how to construct strings

    - by Craig Johnston
    Which of these will achieve the correct result: (1) int X = 23; string str = "HELLO" + X.ToString() + "WORLD"; (2) int X = 23; string str = "HELLO" + X + "WORLD"; (3) int X = 23; string str = "HELLO" + (string)X + "WORLD"; EDIT: The 'correct' result is to output: HELLO23WORLD

  • Overloading methods in C#

    - by Craig Johnston
    Is there a way to simplify the process of adding an overloaded method in C# using VS2005? In VB6, I would have just added an Optional parameter the function, but in C# do I have to have to type out a whole new method with this new parameter?

  • c#: can you use a boolean predicate as the parameter to an if statement?

    - by Craig Johnston
    In C#, can you use a boolean predicate on its own as the parameter for an if statement? eg: string str = "HELLO"; if (str.Equals("HELLO")) { Console.WriteLine("HELLO"); } Will this code output "HELLO", or does it need to be: string str = "HELLO"; if (str.Equals("HELLO") == true) { Console.WriteLine("HELLO"); } If there is anything else wrong with the above code segments, please point it out.

  • Close all HTML unclosed IMG tags

    - by George Johnston
    Is it possible to do a regex replace on all IMG tags that are unclosed? If so, how would I identify: <img src="..." alt="..."> ...as a potential canidate to be replaced? = <img src="..." alt="..."/> Update: We have hundreds of pages, and thousands of image tags, all must of which must be closed. I'm not stuck on RegEx -- any other method, aside from manually updating all IMG tags, would suffice.

  • How do I style just the thumbnail image in this post?

    - by Mike Johnston
    I need help with some CSS styling. I've tried various options with Firebug and cannot sort this out. How can I style the thumbnails on my posts (eg url: http://thatcriticguy.com/index.php?post/4/crossover-9-revamped-reinvented-and-a-must-have) and not style all images in the post at the same time. I have numerous posts on this site and need to only style the ones that are thumbnails that float right. Is there a way to do this without modifying the template code just using CSS?

  • Is this the best way to get the size of a Paper via CUPS?

    - by Lawrence Johnston
    I've got a CUPS job control file. I need to get the actual dimensions of the print that was made. This is the way I've figure out to do it: Get the paper name using the media attribute. (e.g. Letter) Get the printer uri from the printer-uri attribute. (e.g. ipp://localhost/printers/MyPrinter) Get the printer name by passing the printer uri to the IPP_GET_PRINTER_ATTRIBUTES operation and getting the printer-name attribute. (e.g. MyPrinter) Get the path to the PPD passing the printer name to the the cupsGetPPD method. Open the PPD passing the path to the PPD to the ppdOpenFile method. Get the paper size by passing the PPD and paper name to the ppdPageSize method. This will work, but it seems a bit roundabout. Is there a more efficient way of getting what I need?

  • How do I conditionally redirect the output of a command to /dev/null?

    - by Lawrence Johnston
    I have a script. I would like to give this script a quiet mode and a verbose mode. This is the equivalent of: if $verbose then redirect="> /dev/null" fi echo "Verbose mode enabled" $redirect # This doesn't work because the redirect isn't evaluated. I'd really like a better way of doing this than writing if-elses for every statement affected. eval could work, but has obvious side effects on other variables.

  • How can I get the domain name for a user logged into a Mac via Active Directory

    - by Lawrence Johnston
    In my Cocoa app how can I get the current user's domain when they're logged in via Active Directory? I need to determine two things: 1. If the current user is logged on to an Active Directory domain (only need to handle Active Directory). 2. If 1, the domain of the user. I've found references to Directory Services and the Open Directory Programming Guide but the latter is 10.6 only (I must support 10.5+) and I could not find any examples for the former that gave me an idea of what I needed to do.

  • Is there a good GUI SVN app for Mac (better than XCode)

    - by Lawrence Johnston
    Hey everybody, I'm looking for a more robust and fully featured GUI SVN manager for Mac than what is built into XCode (which works, but only as long as you don't need anything beyond the bare basics and doesn't work for versioning scripts and such created in other editors). I can use the terminal commands, but I'd really like the option of using a GUI. On windows I use TortoiseSVN and Visual SVN, which do pretty much everything I need, but as far as I'm aware there's nothing even remotely resembling those on the Mac side.

  • Would Python make a good substitute for the Windows command-line/batch scripts?

    - by Lawrence Johnston
    I've got some experience with Bash, which I don't mind, but now that I'm doing a lot of Windows development I'm needing to do basic stuff/write basic scripts using the Windows command-line language. For some reason said language really irritates me, so I was considering learning Python and using that instead. Is Python suitable for such things? Moving files around, creating scripts to do things like unzipping a backup and restoring a SQL database, etc.
