Is there any reason for automating tests that focus on GUI (and not to things under it)? In myopinion GUI (and changes in it) should always be tested by a real person.
What's your opinion of the following job interview question?
In the requirement it never mentions about to have classic ASP experience.
But the question is "What are the differences between ADO.NET DataSet and ADO Record Set?".
Hi guys,
Just want to hear some opinion on adding App_Code in Web Client Software Factory (WCSF) project. The main purpose is to put reusable UI rendering codes which can be use by various pages.
For WCSF, I guess only controller can share across pages within a module which does not seems to be a good place for UI stuff.
Suggestions? :)
Hi All,
While browsing my favorites, I found that page: http://dailycupoftech.com/2009/05/04/the-geek-must-do-before-you-die-checklist/
I think that some points isn't geeky anymore. Plus, I really wanna know if there are other things that the real geek must do before die?
In your opinion, What is the most important things that you -as a geek- MUST do before you die? :)
I am resonably experienced with asp.net and would like to learn a new language with a focus on web development.
Licensing and hosting costs are why I would like to use something not reliant on microsoft so something based on open source technologies is a plus. I have had a tiny bit of experience with php and did not like it but I guess I could be convinced otherwise.
Basically I'd like to know peoples opinion on the the best language for future web development with regards to longivity, resources, frameworks, hosting etc.
This is a placeholder for overviews of bug/task tracking systems.
What i want to do here is:
List all tools used in the industry (please provide a link to the tool discussed)
Gather opinions on each tool (please back up your opinion with facts i.e provide advantages and disadvantages)
Please put each tool in separate answer and please make it community owned wiki to give an option to add/edit to as many people as possible.

I know Rails.cache is ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore, and it is not thread safe.
I don't understand, why rails use a thread-unsafe cache as its default? Why not use ActiveSupport::Cache::SynchronizedMemoryStore? In myopinion, in a web site, if a cache is not thread-safe, it almost useless, because the requests are not handled in ONE thread.
Do you use Rails.cache in you webapp? And how do you use it?
Hi,
I am writing a report, and I would like to know, in your opinion, which open source physical simulation methods (like Molecular Dynamics, Brownian Dynamics, etc) would be worth to port to GPU.
Thanks in advance
Over the last few days I have noted a few web sites that demonstrated TS solution using genetic algorithms.
I am looking for your opinion which is better for this particular problem.
Heuristics vs Genetic.
By better, I mean will yield a shorter/lower cost path.
Explain why you feel the way that you do.
Examples, and off-site links are welcome.
1) Is it possible to use llvm-py on Windows without Visual Studio 2008? Maybe I can compile files on another computer and use on my?
2) Is llvm-py mature enough in your opinion? If not, what are the problems?

I'm looking for a slide effect for a navigation. But in myopinion the slide effect of jQuery is a little strange, or doesn't really fit my needs. The list items kind of appear but aren't animated (the container is only animated) when I apply the slideDown,slideUp,toggleSlide effect. I would like to have the list items animated as well.
I've found an example of this: http://www.creative-exposure.co.uk/
If you someone could help me out, I would really appreciate it.

According to a recent article iPhone has gained a better appeal than Android among programmers. I'm quite a newbie to Java and a complete profane to ObjectiveC, in your opinion, in which one of the two could I have a try?
One of the most appealing features of Ext-JS is the Grid control in myopinion. I was searching for something free that does something close and have set my hopes on jQuery.
I haven't found a jQuery (or other LGPL compatible) Table / Grid plugin that allows to:
Reorder columns by dragging
Resize columns by dragging
Add or Remove columns on the fly
Have a default good looking UI (subjective, but Ext-JS look I think is a concensus)
In addition to the rest most grid controls have (Sort, Paging etc)
Is there a free (LGPL) jQuery plugin that does the above?
Hi all,
Just wondering what everybody's opinion is on the Windows Admin tool Event Viewer?
I'm writing a WCF application at the moment and have started logging errors to the windows event viewer when I handle them. I then started thinking, should I be logging more than just errors, such as when a user has logged in or out or would you go further logging even more activity?
Or is this a tool that's mainly used for testing without using the debugger?
Any input appreciated:-)
I am looking for an opinion on the whether to use Google custom search, Yahoo search builder or build my own for web projects (no more than 100 pages of content). If I should build my own - do you have any fast start kits you could recommend?
Many thanks

I would like to get to know what other developers think related to unit/integration testing. As far as i know, unit testing is your test code that tests your original code. integration testing are those that tests the overall system.
whats your opinion this?
What is the Win32 api function that prevents the system from going into standby?
Some programs use it, which is pretty annoying in myopinion.
I know there's a couple of WM_SYSCOMMAND messages you can trap to prevent the screensaver from coming on..
Would you consider autoboxing in Java to be a form of polymorphism? Put another way, do you think autoboxing extends the polymorphic capabilities of Java?
What about implicit conversions in Scala?
Myopinion is that they are both examples of polymorphism. Both features allow values of different data types to be handled in a uniform manner.
My colleague disagrees with me. Who is right?
Already finished my application which multiplies CRS matrix and vector (SpMV) and the only thing to do now is to count FLOPS my application did. In myopinion it's really hard to estimate number of floating point operation in case of sparse matrix - vector multiplication, because the number of multiplies in one row is really "jumpy" or fluent.
I only tried to measure time using "cudaprof" ( available in ./CUDA/bin directory) - it works fine.
Any sugestions and instruction pastes appreciated !
In your opinion, which PHP CMS has the best architecture? I don't care about how easy its admin panel is to use, or how many CMS features it has. Right now, I'm after how good its code is (so, please, don't even mention Drupal or Wordpress /shudder). I want to know which ones have a good, solid, OOP codebase.
Please provide as much detail as you can in your replies.
