  • Are the ususal database performance-tuning tips invalide for a third-party app like Drupal

    - by Paul Strugger
    When you have a slow database app, the first suggestions that people make is to: Track the slow queries Add appropriate indexes In the case you are building your own application this is very logical, but when you use a CMS like Drupal, that are people have developed and tuned, is this approach valid? I mean, aren't Drupal tables already fine-tuned for performance? Even if I try to see which queries are the slow ones, what could I do about it? Re-write Drupal core?!?

  • Tips on refactoring an Android prototype

    - by Brad
    I have an Android project I've inherited from another developer. The original code was hacked together using a single View and a single Activity. The view class has a State variable that is switched on during input and rendering. Each "screen" is a single bitmap rendered directly onto the screen. There are no layouts used at all. To make things even worse each variable in both the View and Activity classes were all declared public static and would access each other frequently. I've reworked the code so it is now somewhat manageable, but it's still in those original two classes. This is my first decently sized Android app so I'm not completely sure where to go next. From the looks of things, each "screen" should have its own View and Activity. Is this the general practice? If so I need some way to share data between the separate Activities. I've read suggestions to use a Singleton class that holds generic data. Is there any other ways that are more built into the Android framework? Thanks in advance.

  • Tips on how to refactor this unwieldy upvote/downvote code

    - by bob_cobb
    Basically this code is for an upvote/downvote system and I'm basically Incrementing the count by 1 when voting up Decrementing the count by 1 when voting down If the number of downvotes upvotes, we'll assume it's a negative score, so the count stays 0 Reverting the count back to what it originally was when clicking upvote twice or downvote twice Never go below 0 (by showing negative numbers); Basically it's the same scoring scheme reddit uses, and I tried to get some ideas from the source which was minified and kind of hard to grok: a.fn.vote = function(b, c, e, j) { if (reddit.logged && a(this).hasClass("arrow")) { var k = a(this).hasClass("up") ? 1 : a(this).hasClass("down") ? -1 : 0, v = a(this).all_things_by_id(), p = v.children().not(".child").find(".arrow"), q = k == 1 ? "up" : "upmod"; p.filter("." + q).removeClass(q).addClass(k == 1 ? "upmod" : "up"); q = k == -1 ? "down" : "downmod"; p.filter("." + q).removeClass(q).addClass(k == -1 ? "downmod" : "down"); reddit.logged && (v.each(function() { var b = a(this).find(".entry:first, .midcol:first"); k > 0 ? b.addClass("likes").removeClass("dislikes unvoted") : k < 0 ? b.addClass("dislikes").removeClass("likes unvoted") : b.addClass("unvoted").removeClass("likes dislikes") }), a.defined(j) || (j = v.filter(":first").thing_id(), b += e ? "" : "-" + j, a.request("vote", {id: j,dir: k,vh: b}))); c && c(v, k) } }; I'm trying to look for a pattern, but there are a bunch of edge cases that I've been adding in, and it's still a little off. My code (and fiddle): $(function() { var down = $('.vote-down'); var up = $('.vote-up'); var direction = up.add(down); var largeCount = $('#js-large-count'); var totalUp = $('#js-total-up'); var totalDown = $('#js-total-down'); var totalUpCount = parseInt(totalUp.text(), 10); var totalDownCount = parseInt(totalDown.text(), 10); var castVote = function(submissionId, voteType) { /* var postURL = '/vote'; $.post(postURL, { submissionId : submissionId, voteType : voteType } , function (data){ if (data.response === 'success') { totalDown.text(data.downvotes); totalUp.text(data.upvotes); } }, 'json'); */ alert('voted!'); }; $(direction).on('click', direction, function () { // The submission ID var $that = $(this), submissionId = $that.attr('id'), voteType = $that.attr('dir'), // what direction was voted? [up or down] isDown = $that.hasClass('down'), isUp = $that.hasClass('up'), curVotes = parseInt($that.parent().find('div.count').text(), 10); // current vote castVote(submissionId, voteType); // Voted up on submission if (voteType === 'up') { var alreadyVotedUp = $that.hasClass('likes'), upCount = $that.next('div.count'), dislikes = $that.nextAll('a').first(); // next anchor attr if (alreadyVotedUp) { // Clicked the up arrow and previously voted up $that.toggleClass('likes up'); if (totalUpCount > totalDownCount) { upCount.text(curVotes - 1); largeCount.text(curVotes - 1); } else { upCount.text(0); largeCount.text(0); } upCount.css('color', '#555').hide().fadeIn(); largeCount.hide().fadeIn(); } else if (dislikes.hasClass('dislikes')) { // Voted down now are voting up if (totalDownCount > totalUpCount) { upCount.text(0); largeCount.text(0); } else if (totalUpCount > totalDownCount) { console.log(totalDownCount); console.log(totalUpCount); if (totalDownCount === 0) { upCount.text(curVotes + 1); largeCount.text(curVotes + 1); } else { upCount.text(curVotes + 2); largeCount.text(curVotes + 2); } } else { upCount.text(curVotes + 1); largeCount.text(curVotes + 1); } dislikes.toggleClass('down dislikes'); upCount.css('color', '#296394').hide().fadeIn(200); largeCount.hide().fadeIn(); } else { if (totalDownCount > totalUpCount) { upCount.text(0); largeCount.text(0); } else { // They clicked the up arrow and haven't voted up yet upCount.text(curVotes + 1); largeCount.text(curVotes + 1).hide().fadeIn(200); upCount.css('color', '#296394').hide().fadeIn(200); } } // Change arrow to dark blue if (isUp) { $that.toggleClass('up likes'); } } // Voted down on submission if (voteType === 'down') { var alreadyVotedDown = $that.hasClass('dislikes'), downCount = $that.prev('div.count'); // Get previous anchor attribute var likes = $that.prevAll('a').first(); if (alreadyVotedDown) { if (curVotes === 0) { if (totalDownCount > totalUp) { downCount.text(curVotes); largeCount.text(curVotes); } else { if (totalUpCount < totalDownCount || totalUpCount == totalDownCount) { downCount.text(0); largeCount.text(0); } else { downCount.text((totalUpCount - totalUpCount) + 1); largeCount.text((totalUpCount - totalUpCount) + 1); } } } else { downCount.text(curVotes + 1); largeCount.text(curVotes + 1); } $that.toggleClass('down dislikes'); downCount.css('color', '#555').hide().fadeIn(200); largeCount.hide().fadeIn(); } else if (likes.hasClass('likes')) { // They voted up from 0, and now are voting down if (curVotes <= 1) { downCount.text(0); largeCount.text(0); } else { // They voted up, now they are voting down (from a number > 0) downCount.text(curVotes - 2); largeCount.text(curVotes - 2); } likes.toggleClass('up likes'); downCount.css('color', '#ba2a2a').hide().fadeIn(200); largeCount.hide().fadeIn(200); } else { if (curVotes > 0) { downCount.text(curVotes - 1); largeCount.text(curVotes - 1); } else { downCount.text(curVotes); largeCount.text(curVotes); } downCount.css('color', '#ba2a2a').hide().fadeIn(200); largeCount.hide().fadeIn(200); } // Change the arrow to red if (isDown) { $that.toggleClass('down dislikes'); } } return false; }); });? Pretty convoluted, right? Is there a way to do something similar but in about 1/3 of the code I've written? After attempting to re-write it, I find myself doing the same thing so I just gave up halfway through and decided to ask for some help (fiddle of most recent).

  • A Book about Productivity for programmers

    - by dole doug
    I just find this video about productivity for programmers by peepcode and I'm thinking to download and see it. Besides that, I have to tell you that I prefer to read a book and take notices about it, rather than seeing a video. So, my question is: can you recommend me a good book about productivity for programmers with tips, advices, best practice, et? ps: I'm new into this work field(because I'm still a student).

  • Dealing with Word spell check in technical documents?

    - by Robert MacLean
    I have waste millions of hours clicking the Ignore Once button in Word, while trying to spell check a document related to development. Be that something light on terms like a proposal or something worse like technical specs. I'm beginning to think that this is a huge waste and someone may have developed a dictionary for Word with common development terms that I could add and no longer have this problem. Does such a dictionary exist or is there some other tricks to use to improve this process?

  • Tomato QoS: Why is some traffic unclassified when there are classifications for it?

    - by Armitage
    Ok, I am trying to tweak my router to give priority to some traffic. My classifications seem to cover just about everything but I still see ~60 to ~80% of the traffic as unclassified: TCP 192.168.1.100 64137 192.168.1.1 80 Unclassified TCP 192.168.1.100 64175 192.168.1.1 80 Unclassified TCP 192.168.1.100 64144 192.168.1.1 443 Unclassified I assume that the 64### ports are just what my WAP uses to send packets inside my home network. But my classifications seems to cover any traffic for destination ports 80 and 443: (partial list) TCP Dst Port: 80,443 High WWW TCP/UDP Dst Port: 1024-65535 Lowest Bulk Traffic Why do I have so much unclassified traffic if I have a classification that should cover it?

  • What are the most useful Vi/Vim Commands that you wish you'd discovered earlier?

    - by faceless1_14
    I personally learn by experimentation as opposed to reading documentation. A consequence of this is it takes me a long time to learn some of the useful features of a language like e going to the end of a word or 0 to go to the beginning of a line or $ for the end of a line as well as dd deleting a line What are some Vi/Vim commands that you find most useful but didn't know existed when you were first using Vi/Vim.

  • Emacs check syntax of file before saving

    - by astropanic
    How I can prevent Emacs from saving my buffer when it contains syntax errors ? It would by especially useful for editing source code. I'm writing some source code into the buffer, hit C-x C-s and Emacs should position the cursor on the line containing the error. I'm correcting the error, hit the save command again, and Emacs should save the file.

  • How best to copy an SD card with corrupt filesystem to attempt recovery?

    - by pdbartlett
    I have an SD card with a corrupt filesystem, so wanted to clone it and attempt recovery on the copy (just in case of problems). I was thinking that dd-ing it Linux would be a sensible way to go, but don't really want to experiment in this situation. So if anyone has done this before then it would be good to know the exact approach that works. In case it helps, I have Ubuntu, OSX and Windows machines available. TIA, Paul.

  • Where does the information shown by OS X Terminal 'Display all commands' feature come from?

    - by Sergio Acosta
    I just learned that if you hit and hold ESC while on the Mac Terminal, a prompt appears after a few seconds offering to show every command available on your system, including aliases, built-ins, and executables on your PATH. Soruce: http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2008/05/list-all-possible-terminal-commands.html However, the output is show through a more filter, and I cannot grep it or pipe it to another command. Does anyone know how this magic output is generated? Is it just generated on the fly by Terminal? Is there a bash command that can be called explicitly on the command line and get the same result? It is mostly curiosity, but I would love to be able to get the results as text I can post-process and not just browse on screen.

  • Organization: Ways to link/group documents with emails?

    - by Scott Smith
    I like keeping my stuff organized, but short of printing everything out and keeping it in an actual file cabinet, I've never figured out a good way to link/group document files with related emails. This means that when I'm looking for something, I often have to search in my email program, and then through the documents stored in some filesystem folder. Has anyone out there come up with a neat way to group related stuff like this for searching, archiving, etc?

  • Indenting an x number of lines in vim

    - by Mack Stump
    I've been coding in Java for a job recently and I've noticed that I'll write some code and then determine that I need to wrap the code in a try/catch block. I've just been moving to the beginning of a line and adding a tab. 0 i <tab> <esc> k (repeat process until at beginning or end of block) Now this was fine the first three or four times I had to indent but now it's just become tedious and I'm a lazy person. Could someone suggest an easier way I could deal with this problem?
