I'm upgrading from Server 2003 to Server 2008 for a domain with 100 users.
Any good check-lists out there for things to think about for moving the users.
I would assume that most User-defined Exceptions are for Business Logic level exceptions, but what are some good reasons to use a User-Defined Exception and what are some good examples?
Is a user-defined exception's only advantage that you can define a consistent Error Message?
What logic can be written inside exceptions to make them truly more useful?
After all, can't you just do this: throw new Exception("Some Error Message");
I am trying to find Paul Graham's essay that mentions something to the effect of "hackers can't know if they're good". In it, he says he (with a seemingly false humility) says he himself doesn't even know if he's good.
P.S. Sorry for the softball question. I did try searching his site and it was unproductive.
What are some good practices to follow when writing a commit message to a source code repository (aside from committing a non-empty message)? How do I write a good commit message and still keep it relatively short?
Is soft delete a good idea or a bad idea?
Instead of actually deleting the data, you would flag it as "IsDeleted" = true,
upon recovery you just flag it as "False".
Is this a good idea?

I know that all the cool animations are created in Flash (the program) unfortunately, I am not very good with it. However I like flash builder, because you can use a markup language and because it is better optimized for large projects.
Can you create animations that are as good in flash builder?
Documentation is not the favorite area of a developer but an important area to fulfill if you want to have standards in the organization. We are trying to put together a new Configuratio Mgmt Plan to setup Change Controls, Backups strategies and other fun things, like the process from development, staging to production.
I will like to have your opinions on good examples or probably a good start for CMP process.
Can anyone recommend a good 2nd level object caching solution for JEE 6 applications, and give background to your recommendation? I'm using JPA 2.0 as persistence provider.
I am particularly worried about having to run the cache client as a single-thread / singleton bean. Is that the case? If so, is that an issue?
I've good experience using memcached from a PHP webapp, but PHP is of course single-threaded, so that was never an issue...
I am looking to replace my flex application to support IPad. Are there any good charting components that I can build using javascript to replace my flex charting components? and are they any good?

I see that Scala standard library misses the method to get ranges of objects in the collection, that satisfy the predicate:
def <???>(p: A => Boolean): List[List[A]] = {
val buf = collection.mutable.ListBuffer[List[A]]()
var elems = this.dropWhile(e => !p(e))
while (elems.nonEmpty) {
buf += elems.takeWhile(p)
elems = elems.dropWhile(e => !p(e))
}
buf.toList
}
What would be the good name for such method? And is my implementation good enough?
I have found services like ClearSpring and Widgetbox for putting content snippets onto a widget range of social networking web sites, but I would like to build my own widgets without a third party dependency. I have been looking but I have not yet found a good resource to learn how to create widgets/gadgets for multiple sites. It was easy to build a gadget for iGoogle, but Facebook, MySpace and the others are less obvious.
What is a good resource to create content snippets for multiple sites?
Is there free and good line-level profiler for PHP? I'm using xdebug and it's relatively good but it gives me function level output and sometimes it's hard to see where exactly all the time spent in the function goes.
It is known that the halting problem cannot have a definite solution, one that a) returns true <== the program does indeed halt, and b) handles any input, but I was wondering if there are good enough solutions to the problem, ones that can maybe handle certain types of program flows perfectly, or is able to identify it when it cannot correctly solve the problem, and so on....
If so, how good are they, and what ideas/limitations do they rely on?
In my organization they are thinking about rolling out Eclipse company wide but I prefer using another editor (UltraEdit).
I do not have any good arguments against this except subjective opinions that a developer should get to use whatever he/she wants as long as he's productive enough. This to make the developer a happy employee :-)
Do you guys think its a good policy to force all developers in the same company to use the same IDE? Would there be any technical (dis)advantages of this decision?
I have been able to find plenty of 16 and 32-bit NASM assembly references like here, but the only thing I could find on 64-bit NASM was what was in the small section of the NASM manual here. Are there any good sites or books that would have a better explanation of 64-bit assembly (Windows or Linux/Unix) with some good code examples?
I'm in need for a good SVG editor which can produce valid xml according to spec of the Tiny SVG profile.
I would prefer if the tool was open-source or free but good commercial tools are welcome as well.
Note: I have used some online tools and Inkscape, but those do not allow specifying the spec they must adhere to.
I am involved in a contest, and in one event we have debugging questions. I have to design some really good debugging problems in C and C++.
How can I create some good problems on debugging? What aspects should I consider while designing the problems?
Hi there,
Chef from Opscode seems to be really useful for configuring servers and such, but trying to follow their documentation is a little difficult. Some terms are defined after they are used, and definitions sometimes reference new terms that you haven't yet encountered.
Anyone know of any GOOD tutorials/walk-throughs for getting a good understanding of Chef, Chef-Server and Chef-Client?
I remember seeing one video presentation online, but it barely scratched the surface.

I am looking to write a an asp.net website and would like a good project to use as a basis for getting started. Can someone help point me to some good examples where I can fully download and run the code?
If you view this URL, you'll see that GitHub is posting all sorts of technical information. Is this a good practice so that users can email info to you about bugs, etc?

It's at least a good design for an error page.
