I've got a DIV that shows on a hover event, and hides on a hover event on the #main div, but I can't help but feel like I've not done it correctly - more like a hacked together version .. Can someone take a look and provide options for a more efficient way of doing it? The jQuery $(".sign_in").hover(function() { $("#sign_box")....

Hi all, i´d like to assign factors representing quantiles. Thus I need them to be numeric. That´s why I wrote the following function, which is basically the answer to my problem: qdum <- function(v,q){ qd = quantile(v,1:(q)/q) v = as.data.frame(v) v$b = 0 names(v) <- c("a","b") i=1 for (i in 1:q){ if(i == 1) v$b[ v$a < ...
I'm moving a Google App Engine web application outside "the cloud" to a standard web framework (webpy) and I would like to know how to implement a memcache feature available on Gae.

Hello everybody, this seems to be a simple question and I hope you can help me. I'd like to add that my code works the way I'm describing it.

I was performing a code review and I saw a class that a developer had created, that only contained public instance-fields. This class is not used in business logic; it is merely used to hold test data (the developer created this for a test). Is this alright? Why or why not? ...

What are the advantages of printing code? Of course it kills many trees, but I know that in many old-school environments (especially professors) some have asked for code printouts. Is there really any advantage to doing this except destroying the environment, such as facilitating code review? ...
I have the following simple method for doing a complete search of a binary tree. I can definitely tell it can be simplified, but it's not coming to me. bool Node::lookup(int d) { if (data==d) { return true; } else { if (left != NULL && right != NULL) { return left->lookup(d) && ri...
