  • Fastest way to represent a collection of bits in PHP?

    - by Piskvor
    What is a good way to represent a collection of bits? I have a set of various on/off toggles (thousands of them) and need to store and retrieve their state. The naïve implementation would be an array of booleans, but I'm wondering if there's a better way (better in terms of access speed and/or memory requirements). I've found this BitArray implementation, but it's limited to 32 bits, which is not enough for this case.

  • What alternatives do I have if I want a distributed multi-master database?

    - by Jonas
    I will build a system where I want to reduce single-point-of-failures, and I need a database. Is there any (free) relational database systems that can handle multi-master setups good (i.e where it is easy to add and remove nodes) or is it better to go with a NoSQL-database? As what I have understood, a key-value store will handle this better. What database system do you recommend for a multi-master (cluster) setup?

  • jQuery Templates vs Partial Views in ASP.NET MVC

    - by Jaco Pretorius
    I'm taking a look at jQuery templates. It looks really interesting - easy syntax, easy to use, very clean. However, I can't really see why it's better to use jQuery templates instead of simply fetching partial views via AJAX. It simply seems like the partial views would be much easier to maintain and helps to avoid duplication of code. I want to use jQuery templates. But when would it be better than partial views?

  • Eclipse vs Netbeans

    - by Zenzen
    Some time ago (~4-5months ago) I attented a lecture about JEE and at some point the lecturer started talking about webservices and how hard it is to create a good one because all the IDEs make them in a bit different way (or something like that) and that in general it's better to use Netbeans to create them as Eclipse has some issues, the thing is he didn't really say why Eclipse is bad. Now I'm wondering is what he said true and why, is it really better to use Netbeans for webservices and why?

  • Converting WAV to MP3 on Linux with low bitrates

    - by Olly
    I need to convert WAV files to MP3 files so they can be played on a website. I think that LAME would probably be the best tool. However the WAV files are low bitrate (around 8kbits recorded from a phone) and LAME's website states that it is the "best MP3 encoder at mid-high bitrates and at VBR". Is there is a better encoder for lower bitrates? If so can you define "better"?

  • mercurial for OS projects and svn for Enterprise projects?

    - by ajsie
    correct me if im wrong, but isn't distributed SCMs for OS projects while centralized SCMs are better for corporate/private projects? cause with eg. mercurial anyone gets an exact copy of the repository with FULL history features, while with centralized you only get the latest working copy. im more focused on private projects so i wonder if its better with centralized SCMs or doesnt it matter?

  • Will this static class break in a multi user scenario ?

    - by Perpetualcoder
    Say I make a static class like following with an extension method: public static class MyStaticExtensionClass { private static readonly Dictionary<int, SomeClass> AlgoMgmtDict = new Dictionary<int, SomeClass>(); public static OutputClass ToOutput(this InputClass input) { // clears up the dict // does some kind of transform over the input class // return an OutputClass object } } In a multi user system, will the state management dictionary fail to provide correct values for the transform algorithm? Will a regular class be a better design or shoving the Dictionary inside the method a better design?

  • Can someone explain this 'double negative' trick?

    - by ProfessionalAmateur
    Hello, I am by no means an expert at javascript, but I have been reading Dave Pilgrim's "Dive into HTML5" webpage and he mentioned something that I would like a better understanding of. He states: "Finally, you use the double-negative trick to force the result to a Boolean value (true or false)." function supports_canvas() { return !!document.createElement('canvas').getContext; } If anyone can explain this a little better I would appreciate it!

  • How many programming jobs are there that require German/French language ?

    - by HJ-INCPP
    Hello, I want to improve my chances getting a job (entry-level:programming) by learning another language. How many jobs that require exclusively French, German, English are there ? Which is better to learn (more/better jobs): French or German ? Is it worth it (or should I learn another programming language instead :D) ? Thank you. P.S I live in Romania, I (think I) know English

  • Jquery's a FREE grid display

    - by mmcgrail
    I have been using Flesigrid for my CMS and I like it except there are some things I think it could do better like get the column headers from the ajax results rather then in the setup of the flexigrid or having the ability to change the buttons on reload things of that nature. I've been considering a mod of the plugin though I'm not sure i really want to do that. But the question is ... is there something that might be better that I somehow missed when I was looking for grid display ?

  • [NUnit+Moq] Guidelines for using Assert versus Verify

    - by emddudley
    I'm new to unit testing, and I'm learning how to use NUnit and Moq. NUnit provides Assert syntax for testing conditions in my unit tests, while Moq provides some Verify functions. To some extent these seem to provide the same functionality. How do I know when it's more appropriate to use Assert or Verify? Maybe Assert is better for confirming state, and Verify is better for confirming behavior (Classical versus Mockist)?

  • Settings File as Dictionary with Serialization

    - by AKRamkumar
    This is a three part question. One: Would using a Dictionary<String,Object> be a good way of saving data where it would be Dictionary<Key,Value> as the basis? Two: What would be a better way without using app.settings or xml? Three: How would you serialize this(Or the better solution) into a binary format that is compact and serializes quickly?

  • What are the books about Open-Source that everyone interested in should read?

    - by Edu Zamora
    Currently I am working and running my first Open-Source project and though I am quite happy how things are working so far, I have the feeling that a lot of things could be done better. So, what books about Open-Source would you recommend me in order to help filling this gap and making things better every day? What are the books that influenced you the most? I am especially interested in: - How to organize and run an Open-Source project - Best practices - Manage and involve users and developers - How to announce and do the releases - Legal issues

  • Is String.concat slower than Array approach to join strings

    - by Rajat
    Strings in JavaScript are immutable. Across the web and here on Stack Overflow as well, I came across the Array approach to concatenate strings: var a = []; a.push(arg1,arg,2....); console.log(a.join('')); I know that this approach is better than the simple console.log(arg1 + arg2 +.....); for reasons of skipping creating intermediate objects but how does it fair better against : arg1.concat(arg2,arg3.....);

  • Does Compressed Sensing bring anything new to data Compression?

    - by anon
    Compressed sensing is great for situations where capturing data is expensive (either in energy or time), and thus less samples can now be taken. However, in situations like image compression, given that the data is already on the computer -- does compressed sensing offer anything? For example, would it offer better data compression? Would it result in better image search?... (Note: If you don't know what the field of Compressed Sensing is, please do not respond.)

  • What's your favorite cross domain cookie sharing approach?

    - by Haoest
    I see iframe/p3p trick is the most popular one around, but I personally don't like it because javascript + hidden fields + frame really make it look like a hack job. I've also come across a master-slave approach using web service to communicate (http://www.15seconds.com/issue/971108.htm) and it seems better because it's transparent to the user and it's robust against different browsers. Is there any better approaches, and what are the pros and cons of each?

  • Transmogrify into date from multiple columns

    - by Dave Jarvis
    What is a better way to program the following SQL: str_to_date( concat(convert(D.DAY, CHAR(2)), '-', convert(M.MONTH, CHAR(2)), '-', convert(M.YEAR, CHAR(4))), '%e-%m-%Y' ) as AMOUNT_DATE I want to convert the columns D.DAY, M.MONTH, and M.YEAR to a date field using MySQL. The above works, but seems much more complicated than it needs to be. (If there's an ANSI SQL way to do it, that would be even better.) Thank you!

  • Accessing the "super of this" in Java

    - by gerdemb
    This is what I'm doing now. Is there a better way to access the super class? public class SearchWidget { private void addWishlistButton() { final SearchWidget thisWidget = this; button.addClickHandler(new ClickHandler() { public void onClick(ClickEvent event) { // A better way to access the super class? // something like "this.super" ...? workWithWidget(thisWidget); } } } } I'm programming with Google Web Toolkit, but I think this is really a generic Java question.

  • Python: if key in dict vs. try/except

    - by LeeMobile
    I have a question about idioms and readability, and there seems to be a clash of Python philosophies for this particular case: I want to build dictionary A from dictionary B. If a specific key does not exist in B, then do nothing and continue on. Which way is better? try: A["blah"] = B["blah"] except KeyError: pass or if "blah" in B: A["blah"] = B["blah"] "Do and ask for forgiveness" vs. "simplicity and explicitness". Which is better and why?
