G'day, This is related to my question on star developers and to this question regarding telling someone that they're writing bad code but I'm looking at a situation that is more specific. That is, how do I tell a "star" that their changes to a program that I'd written are poorly made and inconsistently implemented without just sounding...
I'm not sure which method is best to use when giving READABLE feedback to end user. I've read some forums, but not really gotten any wiser (or I have not understood it) I would like to give feedback when insertion / update fails, when it's a success and when giving custom feedback (like checking if an item alread exists). On INSERT, UP...
Hi, I'm using opengl's selection buffer, but i'm experiencing a trouble, the "picking" works perfectly if you hit the element for the first time, but the second time you hit it, it won't get selected, instead the element selected is an arbitrary one on the model. Any hints on this? Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? ...
I'm new to building jQuery plugins. I have seen and used a lot of tooltip plugins, and today I've decided to build my own. Can I get some feedback on the code? What work, what doesn't. Optimizations. Caching. What can I do to make it faster and better? This would be really helpful for my learning and hopefully for others too. Heres my...
Hi, I'm learning PHP to create a feedback form. I followed a tutorial and created a html page with the form and a php file to execute the request and save it into the database. Strangely enough, I've got two problems. And after I pressed the submit, I've got the following error: Undefined variable: user in /Users/wj/Sites/all_sanbox/VT...
I'm just getting started on writing functions instead of writing everything inline. Is this how a reusable function is typically written? function test_user($user) { $conn = get_db_conn(); $res = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE uid = $user"); $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res); if (count($row) == 1) { return true; } else { return...
Hi I'm trying to make some form send back to the person who fill up these forms as a references. However I keep getting error in line 5. Which i don't see any problem. Can anyone guide me? Thanks! <?php session_start(); require_once 'opendb.php' $subject = "Refrence"; $refemail = "Here is the list for your refrence"; $class_name = $_P...
We are currently hosting an ASP.NET MVC application and we wish to incorporate a turn-key customer feedback system. UserVoice will absolutely meet our needs, but we'd like to consider alternatives before moving forward. GetSatification appears to provide a similiar model. Are there any other service which we should consider as well? ...
Is it possible to send mail asycronously using PHP while giving live user feedback on delivery? I have recenty written a small app for our company's intranet for sending formatted emails to customers. The interface is quite clean and only requires the input of a job number, it then builds and sends the mail. The mail, while being built,...
I have just started coding in AS3 and it would be really great to get some feedback from the experts; on my coding style, things I'm doing wrong, thing I can improve on, best practises, and so on... Also if you have some extra tips or tricks, that would be great. Here's my first bit of AS3 code, took me 5 hours, puh: package { import...
I created a simple class to benchmark some methods of mine. But is it accurate? I am kind of new to benchmarking, timing, et cetera, so thought I could ask for some feedback here. Also, if it is good, maybe somebody else can make use of it as well :) public sealed class Benchmark : IEnumerable<long> { private readonly Action subject...
Hello, I'm trying to make a page with 2 fields (email and feedback) and 1 button. When the user clicks on the button, a table on a page else where is filled in with the data, permanently. Does anyone have recommendations of how I should do this? I'd like to avoid having a script send me an email, or writing to a database. But if I have...
Hi I've successfully managed to connect to Apple's feedback APNS server but I'm not sure how to unpack the binary data you get from fread(). Does anyone know how to do this? The documentation says the first 4 bytes are the timestamp, the next 2 are the token length and the rest are the device token. How does this info get unpacked into...
G'day, I'm always trying to improve my performance as a developer and, after listening to this interesting podcast on the topic, I was wondering if people think it is worthwhile asking for feedback from colleagues. I am thinking of obtaining feedback anonymously in the manner suggested in the podcast by using the Rypple site. And by as...
I've got a few small web projects where I'd like to get some user feedback however the services I've found are not cheap. To get to a useful level of features on UserVoice or Get Satisfaction I'd be needing to be on at least the $90/month plan on either service, multipled by a few sites is far more than I can justify spending for a few s...
Hello Before checking out what it's like developping in .Net, I have a few newbie questions: Can a non-admin user install the .Net framework, whether the original package or any subsequent update required to run a programm? Some of our customers have locked-down XP/Vista hosts, and I'm concerned about installing/updating their compute...
Hi, I wrote the below script to read the feedback data. But, for some reasons, I am not receiving any data from the server. Can you kindly let me know whats wrong with the script. Also, if you have any working php script for feedback service, can you kindly share it... regards, DD. $ctx = stream_context_create(); stream_context_set...
Hello, I am writing a Javascript dialog script which is seen in a lot of typical Role Playing Games. At the moment I got an array with text strings which you can skip trough. I got at the point where you can make a decision and based on the input a different string will show. However I don't think this is the right way to do it. These...
This is hardly a programming question, so if you're a purest feel free to read no further. Are there any good examples on how to display multidimensional data on a computer screen? I don't know how many dimensions there will be, though anything more than 10 I suspect will be rare. I can think of the obvious solution, but I don't know if...
There are feedback services some companies are using now such as getsatisfaction.com and uservoice.com. Is there any open source equivalent (preferably Django based) to these services? ...
