I'm now in the position that I am leading 2 remote development teams, some in India, some in the USA (I'm based in Scotland) and was looking for some advice and wisdom what will help make me more successful in this pursuit. Already I've found the following: Regular one to one sessions with each developer helps build trust immensely Co...
The PDF specification defines a text operator called ' (apostrophe). The definition is that it writes out some text, and moves to the next line based on the current leading state. The current leading state can be set using the TL operator. This makes it very easy to write lines of text if you know how much they should be spaced apart ...
My shell has a call to 'fortune' in my .login file, to provide me with a little message of the day. However, some of the fortunes begin with one leading whitespace line, some begin with two, and some don't have any leading whitespace lines at all. This bugs me. I sat down to wrapper fortune with my own shell script, which would remove a...
Is there a nimble way to get rid of leading zeros for date strings in Python? In the example below I'd like to get 12/1/2009 in return instead of 12/01/2009. I guess I could use regular expressions. But to me that seems like overkill. Is there a better solution? >>> time.strftime('%m/%d/%Y',time.strptime('12/1/2009', '%m/%d/%Y')) '12/0...

Or lea...
Hi all, (have searched, but not been able to find a simple solution to this one either here, or in Cocoa docs) Q. How can I trim all leading whitespace only from an NSString? (i.e. leaving any other whitespace intact.) Unfortunately, for my purposes, NSString's stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet method works on both leading and trailing...
I've searched on the Internet but can't find definite details. Is there anyway to specify leading and keening for uilabels, textfields or textviews? I could create custom fonts for each leading and keening pairing but this seems a bit overkill... Any ideas would be appreciated ...
