Hello. I'm using HtmlUnit for a parsing job and I've discovered that the memory gets wasted with the WebClient holding the history for each WebWindow. I don't use the history at all and I'd like to disable its management or at least limit its size with 1 or 2. Is that possible? ...

This all works fine until I want to navigate away from the page and back. Within the page I'm clicking on a standard hyperlink which opens another page in my applicatio...

I've recently been looking into the topic of programming languages and from what I've seen, few to none serious languages try making really "new" things that were not seen before their creation. Why do all more or less successful programming languages since 1980 or so just combine aspects of their predecessors? I just can't believe t...
Does anybody know for what the acronym ZIP stands for which was and is used in programs like PKZIP and GZIP? There is a compression algorithm named Lempel-Ziv-Welch-Algorithm (LZW) maybe the guy named Ziv invented together with other people ZIP? I cannot find anything about it, maybe its not an abbreviation but instead it just means "to...
We're migrating from StarTeam (aka "the horrible") to SubVersion (aka "the alleged great"). We've already migrated the files by doing a "dumb" commit to all files and started working on the SubVersion repository. However, we're still forced to use StarTeam because we lack the per-file history of check-ins. Is it possible to inject that ...
I've got some real nay-sayers on my hands here, and I'm trying to give them the reason why OOP was developed in the first place. I realize that OOP is not perfect for all problems and situations, but it was developed for a reason... My guess would be, that a few of those reasons would be: Maintainability Re-usability Document-ability...

Python loop statements may have an else clause which is executed if and only if the loop is not terminated by a break. In other words, when the condition becomes False (with while) or when the iterator is exhausted (with for). Does this loop-else construct originate from another language (either theoretical or actually implemented)? Ha...
I have deleted a file or some code in a file sometime in the past. Can I grep in the content (not in the commit messages)? A very poor solution is to grep the log: git log -p | grep However this doesn't return the commit hash straight away. I played around with "git grep" to no avail. ...
Hi all, I'm working on some interactive plots using matplotlib and wx, and one of the features I've added is to show a particular subplot from a figure (with any number of other subplots) in a new figure so it has as much screen real-estate as possible. The code I've written so far works well enough to open a new plot with the figure a...

I am trying to identify the point in time where code completion (autocomplete/intellisense/whatever) was first introduced in IDEs and would appreciate any pointers.

I had a little presentation for my coworkers about use case elicitation and then one of them asked "What were the requirement elicitation techniques before use cases? And how use cases are better than previous methods?" I have no idea, can anybody help? ...
There are a few threads about the relevance of the Cobol programming language on this forum, e.g. this thread links to a collection of them. What I am interested in here is a frequently repeated claim based on a study by Gartner from 1997: that there were around 200 billion lines of code in active use at that time! I would like to ask s...
I was told by someone that, just as .NET started inspired from Java, WPF was inspired by a similar technology, as "Microsoft never innovates". However, I can't find anything remotely close to WPF. What particular technology did or could have inspired Microsoft to write WPF? ...
I had to restructure the projects in SVN as it was not added as per the recommended repository structure (no tags, branches and trunk folders). However after moving projects to the new structure we have lost the history of all the files. How can I get back the history of all the files? I created the copy of the Dev => Project1 to Proje...
