Suppose I have a classes table with the following data. class teacher ----------------- Mat101 Smith MAT101 Jones mat101 Abram ENG102 Smith My query should be something like Select teacher From c...
For those of you experienced in both Haskell and some flavor of Lisp, I'm curious how "pleasant" (to use a horrid term) it is to write code in Haskell vs. Lisp. Some background: I'm learning Haskell now, having earlier worked with Scheme and CL (and a little foray into Clojure). Traditionally, you could consider me a fan of dynamic lang...
Hi, Which of the two provides a better API for developing on top of? Although there is a virtual Google Search Appliance available for download, no such equivalent is present for FAST. So looking to developers with experience in either of these products to give suggestions and links to documentation. (especially for FAST as there's none...
Background: JEdit (and some other text editors as well) support a feature called Multiple simultaneous text insertion points. (at least that's what I'm calling it here). To understand what this means, take a look at the link. Out of all the features in use in modern text editors, initial research seems to indicate that this is one fea...
Lots of IPCs are offered by unix/linux : Pipes/sockets/shared memory/dbus/message-queues. I would like to know what are the respective most suitable applications , e.g. what are the places where shared memory are preferred over message queue and vice versa. Also looking for data comparing their performances. Tried googling and st_over...
I have a somewhat complex query with roughly 100K rows. The query runs in 13 seconds in SQL Server Express (run on my dev box) The same query with the same indexing and tables takes over 15+ minutes to run on MySQL 5.1 (run on my production box - much more powerful and tested with 100% resources) And sometimes the query crashes the ma...
Can anyone point to a good unified comparison of various AJAX libraries? I've read about a dozen different ones, I'm about to start a project, and I'm just not confident I've explored the space of possibilities yet. PLEASE NOTE I'm not asking for "I think XXX is great" -- I'm looking for good thorough comparisons. Oh, and the probabil...
Hello lads I would like to find out what is the most significant differences of MS Visual Studio.NET 2005 Pro and MS Visual Studio.NET 2008 Pro?

This question is aimed at software developers with different professional backgrounds, but of course everyone is free to speak their mind :). I think there is too much variety in software industry. There are endless debates on what programming language, programming paradigm, DBMS, OS, etc. is better. There are many ways you can do a cert...
I have six string variables say str11, str12, str13, str21, str21 and str23. I need to compare combination of these variables. The combinations I have to check is str11 -- str12 -- str13 as one group and str21 -- str22 -- str23 as other group. I have to compare these two groups. Now I'm in confusion which method should I use for compa...
When doing a string comparison in C#, what is the difference between doing a string test = "testvalue"; test.Equals("TESTVALUE", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase); and string test = "testvalue"; test.Equals("TESTVALUE", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase); ... and is it important to include that extra parameter, ...
Perl's Data::Rmap allows you to recursively evaluate a BLOCK over a list of data structures (locally setting $_ to each element) and return the list composed of the results of such evaluations. $_ can be used to modify the elements. This is useful for iterating over things like nested hashes, or hierarchies of arrays of hashes and the l...
Is anyone out there using Drupal for large scale, business critical enterprise applications? Does Drupal's lack of database transaction support dissuade potential users? Are there any other lightweight web-frameworks based on dynamic languages that people are using for these types of apps? What about Java portals such as JBossPortal or...
I want to define a JavaScript class, Foo. Foo = function(value){ this.value = value; }; I will create "instances" of my Foo: foo1 = new Foo(1); foo2 = new Foo(1); and I want my instances of Foo to be comparable with each other using the standard == equality operator: foo1 == foo2; // this should be true I can not find ...
First, I'm not here to start some debate over which is better or more popular, etc. I have a simple question that I'm sure has many answers and I'm willing to listen to them all. Here's my basic background: self taught HTML, high school class in C++, self taught PHP, self taught MySQL/db programing/websites, self taught CSS, college clas...

I have to run a Web server with many services on an embedded server with limited RAM (1 GB, no swap). There will be a maximum of 100 users. I will have services such as a forum, little games (javascript or flash), etc. My team knows Ruby on Rails very well, but I am a bit worried about Rails' memory usage. I really do not want to sta...
I intend to develop a small (Java) application for managing my finances. I believe I need to use an embedded database, but I have no experience regarding this issue. I tried to look at some of the available products, but I can't decide which one would be more suitable for me. H2, HSQLDB, Derby and Berkeley DB seem to be good candidates, ...
Has someone experience with database comparison tools? Which one you would recommend? We are currently using "SQLCompare" from Redgate, but I am curious to know if there are better tools on the market. The main requirement is that they should be able to compare scripts folder against a live database. Thanks, Dimi ...
