There are some resources, such as P-99 and (too low programming/math ratio for me) Project Euler, which offer quick or interesting problems to implement. Do you have a usual list of problems you try to solve when learning a new language? ...
I am considering the use of an EAV table in SQL Server to store some hierarchical/structured data, all the while knowing the capabilities of XML in SQL Server. I am aware of some of the performance draw backs of EAV due to excessive joins, however, does client side LINQ to object solve any of these problems? I am looking for some advic...
Why is most of the agent research and work done in Java? Is there a reason that the developers seem to have completely steered clear of .net framework or is it that it just doesn't get talked about among researchers as the .net is more commercial than Java? ...
I was a bit staggered today by the sheer number of auto generated includes that Boost produces when doing a compile if we turn on verbose includes. We're averaging 3000 header files included per compilation unit and sometimes getting up to 5000. Virtually all of it is caused by Boost's preprocessor-meta programming funk with large numb...
I know that an MVC framework allows you to separate business logic, data base access and presentation, but why do we need a framework to do this. Can't we just keep our classes separated, perhaps using different packages/folders for the model, view and controller classes? ...

Hi guys, We have a browser based flash(AS2) client application which communicates with .Net based server app. We are using traditional javascript way [ie.ExternalInterface.call] to communicate between server and flash client. We want to remove this dependency on javascript and directly send data to the server from flash. Many times the...
Over the years, reading others code, I encountered and collected some examples of MATLAB syntax which can be at first unusual and counterintuitive. Please, feel free to comment or complement this list. I verified it with r2006a. set([], 'Background:Color','red') MATLAB is very forgiving sometimes. In this case, setting properties to...

Questions that I want answers for... 1) Propose one or more mechanism, which could be used to extend TDD to estimate the level of gold plating that exists in an arbitrary Java program. 2) What estimations would your mechanism provide the quantity the level of gold plating? 3) What evidence can you provide (if any) to justify or argue ...

Google is working on an experimental protocol called SPDY (pronounced "speedy") that supposedly makes the web twice as fast. The problems with HTTP that SPDY tries to address are: only a single request per connection (barring persistent connections) the server cannot initiate a connection headers are always uncompressed (N.B. cookies ...
