  • two's complement, why the name "two"

    - by lenatis
    i know unsigned,two's complement, ones' complement and sign magnitude, and the difference between these, but what i'm curious about is: why it's called two's(or ones') complement, so is there a more generalize N's complement? in which way did these genius deduce such a natural way to represent negative numbers?

  • Why is a DataGridView so row-centric.

    - by Spike
    Why is there a DataGridViewRow.Cells property, but not a DataGridViewColumn.Cells property? What's so important about rows that I'll never want to iterate down a column? I'm not saying that it makes it particularly difficult to do or anything, it just strikes me as oddly asymmetrical. I'm implementing a "fill down" type behaviour, and it'd be handy is all.

  • Why sometimes Windows cannot kill a process?

    - by Néstor Sánchez A.
    Right now I'm trying to Run/Debung my app on VisualStudio, but it cannot create it because the las instance of the app.vshost.exe is still running. Then, by using the Task Manager i'm trying to kill it, but it just remains there with no signal of activity. Beyond that particular case (maybe a VS bug), i'm very curious about the technical reasons why sometimes Windows cannot kill a process??? Can, an enlighted OS related developer, please try to explain? (And please don't start a Unix/Linux/Mac battle against Windows)

  • Why meta refresh followed by 2 redirects?

    - by twneale
    I have encountered several websites where the initial visit by a user results in a http-equiv refresh to another (usually gibberish) url, which then promptly redirects (302) to another gibberish url, which in turn immediately redirects to yet a fourth url that actually displays the landing page for the site. My question is: what the heck? Why would a server be set up to behave this way? Here is list of a few sites that do this: New York State Library - http://nysl.nysed.gov New York State Regulations provided by Westlaw - http://government.westlaw.com/linkedslice/default.asp?SP=nycrr-1000

  • Why PreAuthenticate is not enabled by default?

    - by dr. evil
    As far as I understand WebRequest.PreAuthenticate is almost always good. If I enable it even when there is no credential it won't try to authenticate, if there is a credential it'll. So is there any legitimate reason to set it False? Or is it OK to set it True even when there is no credentials? And since it's quite useful why it's not enabled by default just like many other HTTP features?

  • Why use Monte-Carlo method?

    - by Gili
    When should the Monte-Carlo method be used? For example, why did Joel decide to use the Monte-Carlo method for Evidence Based Scheduling instead of methodically processing all user data for the past year?

  • Why did Dylan lose to Objective-C

    - by Adam Gent
    I have played/worked with many different programming languages and Dylan is still one of my favorites. My question is why did Dylan fail when Objective-C, Ruby and even Scheme have had more success? Was Dylans performance that much worse than Objective-C that Apple went with it or was purely for social/political reasons. Hopefully someone from apple will see this question :) BTW if you have no idea what Dylan is please google Dylan Progrmaming Language.

    Alias /media/ /home/matt/repos/hello/media <Directory /home/matt/repos/hello/media> Options -Indexes Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory> WSGIScriptAlias / /home/matt/repos/hello/wsgi/django.wsgi /media is my directory. When I go to mydomain.com/media/, it says 403 Forbidden. And, the rest of my site doesn't work because all static files are 404s. Why? Edit: hello is my project folder

  • Why are IOC containers unnecessary with dynamic languages

    - by mikemay
    Someone on the Herding Code podcast No. 68, http://herdingcode.com/?p=231, stated that IOC containers had no place with Python or Javascript, or words to that effect. I'm assuming this is conventional wisdom and that it applies to all dynamic languages. Why? What is it about dynamic languages that makes IOC containers unnecessary?

  • web.config overrides app.config...why?

    - by vikp
    Hi, I have to DLLs: one with a web.config, another one with app.config I moved the connection strings from web.config to app.config so that it can be used by other DLLs. Now, when I call ConfigurationManager.GetSection("SomeSection") , the application looks for a web.config, when it should be looking for the app.config. It doesn't make sense why it does it because web.config is in a separate DLL. Can anybody explain this please?

  • Why is file_get_contents() faster than using fsock_open()?

    - by eds
    In PHP, sometimes I want to send an HTTP request to a remote site just to look at the response headers, so I declare it all manually and use the fsock_open() function. However, this goes much slower than calling file_get_contents() with a remote URL (which loads the whole page content). Why is this? Is there a good alternative way to get just the response headers (to check if a page returns a 404 error, for example) that works as fast as file_get_contents()?

  • Why declare "private List contactInfos" without a generic ("private List <ContactInfo> contactInfos"

    - by g_imp
    In this example from the App Engine docs, why does the example declare contactInfos like this (no Generics): import javax.jdo.annotations.Element; // ... @Persistent @Element(dependent = "true") private List contactInfos; instead of like this, using a Generic: import javax.jdo.annotations.Element; // ... @Persistent @Element(dependent = "true") private List <ContactInfo> contactInfos;
