As I browse through the site, I find a lot of terms that many developers just starting out (and even some advanced developers) may be unfamiliar with. It would be great if people could post here with a term and definition that might be unknown to beginners or those from different programming backgrounds. Some not-so-common terms I've ...
Is "business intelligence" a buzzword that has no real meaning to software developers, or does the term carry some implied meaning in terms of what the software does or how the software does it (in a general sense)? It appears to be a real business term, but does it mean anything in particular to software that performs business intellige...
Hello! I have a sentence, for example John Doe moved to New York last year. Now I split the sentence into the single words and I get: array('John', 'Doe', 'moved', 'to', 'New', 'York', 'last', 'year') That's quite easy. But then I want to combine the single words to get all the composed terms. It doesn't if the composed term...
Assume I have a composite relationship, say a Customer having a collection of Orders (and assuming an Order cannot exist without an "owning" Customer.) So, I'm not talking about aggregation. What terms are used to describe the roles in this relationship? I might say the Customer is the "owner" of an Order and maybe the Order is "owned"...
Hello! I would like to split a text into single words using PHP. Do you have any idea how to achieve this? My approach: function tokenizer($text) { $text = trim(strtolower($text)); $punctuation = '/[^a-z0-9äöüß-]/'; $result = preg_split($punctuation, $text, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY); for ($i = 0; $i < count($result); $i...
This just came up again. I see people doing it both ways. Which one is correct? ['ja:va] or ['dza:va] I have an observation that English-speaking cultures where J is read as [dz] use the second option, while those where J is read as [j] (German, for example) use the first option. I personally prefer the second [dz] variant, since th...
Which is the correct name for a system which stores versions of source code, like SVN or TFS? I've always called it source control, but places like Wikipedia calls it revision control? To make this more complicated sites like this one have a tag for both? ...

If terms (admin OR user created) are duplicates, I don't see a way to delete them from within the Drupal browser interface. This becomes a problem during, say, adding products to an ecommerce site that breaks their products up into categories. The person adding the product sees multiple duplicate categories (which are terms within a Voc...
Hi all, Does anyone know if there are any restrictions imposed by Facebook on whether or not their "default" icons can be modified and used in custom applications/websites? For example, does the Facebook icon available here violate Facebook terms and condition OR copyright statement? Free Icons: Grunge Peeling Stickers Social Media Ic...

Hello, I've heard that apple drops a lot of app submissions due to their stiff terms. I dont want to get too far with my project because i know that it will be hard to rewrite it later. Now i began rewriting it to Objective-C (from c++) because i got somehow the impression that apple takes only pure objective-c code. In some places on t...
When I study about cloud-computing, I usually see these terms: on-premise, off-premise applications. I tried to search them on Google, but no luck. Can anyone please explain me these terms? Thank you so much. ...

Hi. I have a text and I would like to extract the most recurrent terms, even if made up by more than one word (i.e.: managing director, position, salary, web developer). I would need a library or an installable executable, more than a web service. I came across some complex tools (such as Topia's Term Extraction, MAUI) that require tr...

I am working on a search engine project that will point a user to a page from, say Google, and show them where their search terms are in the document. Most of us search Google and know that sometimes you have to CTRL-F to find where that word appeared on the page (especially on long pages). I know some browser plug-ins can help with th...
I would like to force specific variables into glm regressions without fully specifying each one. My real data set has ~200 variables. I haven't been able to find samples of this in my online searching thus far. For example (with just 3 variables): n=200 set.seed(39) samp = data.frame(W1 = runif(n, min = 0, max = 1), W2=runif(n, min ...
