This is 2013. C++11 and C++14 is on us. But why still no dedicated IDE for
C++?

I'm 26 years old. C++ is nearly 35 years old.
I'm really baffled at seeing the evolution of C++ in my 15 years of
programming. I started with Turbo C blue screen in late 90's to vim in
early 2000's. From there, I have moved on to Java, Python and Ruby. All
beautiful languages having extensive set of IDE's which makes programming
in these languages easy and fun.
But As for C++. With it's latest iteration in C++11 and coming iteration
C++14, There's still no full fledged, dedicated Editor which full support
for latest standard and documentation of libraries and intellisense. This
is really ironic, since today, almost every language have extensive
toolsets.
C++ is not as easy to learn. An IDE will surely go a long way getting new
programmers on-boarding process easy to a great extent.
If anyone knows any reason behind it, please edify us.

Button click with jquery cancel form and redirect page

Button click with jquery cancel form and redirect page

http://jsfiddle.net/nqCFL/
I'm trying to check the value of an input and if it's empty, redirect the
page, if not empty, redirect to another page. It has no value as is and
does not represent what I'm actually trying to do, it';s just an
experiment. This experiment is supposed to help me with the goal is to
check the input and if it's empty, submit the form. If it's not empty,
cancel the form and redirect to another page. I'm experimenting with
Botcha and this is similar in idea. The problem is the page just
continually refreshes on button click and never redirects according to the
test I have above.
The experiment I have is:
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="text" placeholder="issue" class="issue-input" />
<button class="submit button" type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
$(".submit").click(function(){
if($(".issue-input").val().length == 0){
window.location.href = "http://www.google.com";
} else {
window.location.href = "http://www.yahoo.com";
};
});

How to send not declared selector without performSelector:?

How to send not declared selector without performSelector:?

Background: I have an object (let's call it BackendClient) that represents
connection with server. Its methods are generated to single @protocol and
they are all synchronous, so I want to create proxy object that will call
them in background. The main problem is return value, which I obviously
can't return from async method, so I need to pass a callback. The "easy"
way will be copy all BackendClient's methods and add callback argument.
But that's not very dynamic way of solving that problem, while ObjectiveC
nature is dynamic. That's where performSelector: appears. It solves
problem entirely, but it almost kills proxy object transparency.
Problem: I want to be able to send not declared selector to proxy
(subclass of NSProxy) object as if it was already declared. For example, I
have method:
-(AuthResponse)authByRequest:(AuthRequest*)request
in BackendClient protocol. And I want proxy call look like this:
[proxyClient authByRequest:myRequest withCallback:myCallback];
But this wouldn't compile because
No visible @interface for 'BackendClientProxy' declares the selector
'authByRequest:withCallBack:'
OK. Let's calm down compiler a bit:
[(id)proxyClient authByRequest:myRequest withCallback:myCallback];
Awww. Another error:
No known instance method for selector 'authByRequest:withCallBack:'
The only thing that comes to my mind and this point is somehow construct
new @protocol with needed methods at runtime, but I have no idea how to do
that.
Conclusion: I need to suppress this compilation error. Any idea how to do
that?

java xml validation with relative path to glasshfish config folder

java xml validation with relative path to glasshfish config folder

I searched a lot but couldn't find anything. I want to validate a selected
xml file with an schema file. My problem is working relative path is
config folder of the Glassfish server. I tried to get url of the schema
file which I copied into same package of the class I run this code but
still I can't find the file. I only able to make it work is by copying the
file into server config file.
URL url = ClassLoader.getSystemResource("/schema.xsd");
File file = new File(url.getPath());
But url returns null. How can I find this file and even if I find I
believe file object can not be created because my relative path is
/home/user/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain1/config. Any ideas how to
solve this problem? Thnx for any help in advance.

displaying time recorded while recording video

displaying time recorded while recording video

i'm working on an app that enables the user to capture video. however i'm
customising the user interface of the UIImagePickerController thus the
timer wouldn't be showing since i'm hiding the default controls. so i want
to display the time recorded live while the user is recording. how can i
do that? i tried this
timer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1 target:self
selector:@selector(updateLabel)
userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
but since the user will be able to pause. i should stop the counting or
pause it. how can i do that? besides i want to be able to present the time
in this format 00:00 [mm:ss]
Edit: figured out how to kill the timer by [timer invalidate]; i just
wanna represent it the right way. of if there is any alternative to using
NSTimer it will be highly appreciated.

How to add a character in xml from the internet

How to add a character in xml from the internet

I'm creating a rss feed using Sax. The xml is from the internet. The
problem is that the date looks like "1407"
Example:
<example name="DAvid" id="1" test1="1407" test2="0811">
What I need is to insert the simbol "-" between the 14 and the 07. How
could I do that?
The parse here:
SAXParserFactory saxPF = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser saxP = saxPF.newSAXParser();
XMLReader xReader = saxP.getXMLReader();
itemHoroscopeXMLHandler = new ItemHoroscopeXMLHandler();
xr.setContentHandler(itemHoroscopeXMLHandler);
Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(new
URL("http://example.xml").openStream(),
Charset.forName("ISO-8859-1"));
InputSource is = new InputSource (reader);
xReader.parse(is);

understanding recursion vs loops

understanding recursion vs loops

I have the following recursion method. I get an error stack overflow. it
stops at -9352. My questions, is stack overflow the same as an infinite
loop? Because this will keep calling itself.
But if I do a infinite loop with while, until, do, etc it doesn't give me
the same stack overflow error. It just keeps going until my system runs
out of memory.
def recursion(n)
print n
recursion(n-1)
end

I don't plan to use a clustered index on my table, will I regret it?

I don't plan to use a clustered index on my table, will I regret it?

pFor simplicity, let's say I have a table 'Car' in Sql Server. It has 2
columns. 'Id' is a uniqueidentifier/Guid and is the primary key. 'Name' is
a nvarchar/string. The database will be for a lightly used app that peaks
at maybe 10 concurrent users. 'Car' could have thousands of rows. It will
be queried, inserted, and updated regularly./p pI know it's bad in general
to have a clustered index on a Guid column, so my plan is to leave the
table as a heap and have no clustered indexes. I'd have a non-clustered
index on Id./p pIn this very simple scenario, is there any reason I would
regret not having a clustered index? If you say yes, please explain the
reasoning behind your answer. I've seen posts where people say things like
I'd add an int column just to add a clustered index. I can't figure out
why anyone would do that if you don't plan on querying against the int
column anyways, what value does it add?/p pAlso for this example, please
assume newsequentialid() isn't an option. I'm using Entity Framework model
first and it's a pain to use (unless someone can point to an easy way to
do this I missed). Also assume a Guid PK is a requirement (it's an
existing system)./p

SSRS rounds to whole numbers, but includes 2 decimal places

SSRS rounds to whole numbers, but includes 2 decimal places

I have some SQL, of which the part in question is:
sum(Minutes)/60.0 Hrs
In SQL Server Management Studio, my database returns:
14.500000
In SSRS, my report displays:
14.00
My RDL's cell that displays this value has this definition:
=Fields!Hrs.Value
The cell's textbox properties have been defined as a Number, no checkboxes
selected, 2 decimal points.
So, the question is, why is my report only outputting 14.00 rather than
14.50 and how can I fix it?

Multiple applications sharing a single system-wide socket

Multiple applications sharing a single system-wide socket

I'm trying to develop a network library in my free time. I read a lot
about how to do it and I was impressed by an idea from UDT were any number
of applications can use a single port on a machine.
I got the basic socket interaction working already. What I plan to do now
is to create a class that is in charge for routing incoming messages to
the application that had previously registered its protocol number with
it. If there is no application for the received package, it is dropped.
What I want to achieve is that a chat program may run next to an MMOG
client may run next to a data transfer pipeline, all sharing the same port
and application base. They just have to retrieve a reference to the
"Connection Manager" (I'm using UDP as transportation, so "connections" is
not the correct term), register the protocol ID with it and are informed
about incoming messages and may send messages this way.
Since I'm working on this in C# for .NET/Mono 4.0+, how would I implement
a similar approach? Is COM a way or is the CLI implementing such a thing
in a platform independent manner?
For anyone interested in sources: I develop this on GitHub and could use
some extra pair of eyes ;)

Reading UTF8 encoded CSV and converting to Unicode

Reading UTF8 encoded CSV and converting to Unicode

I'm reading in a CSV file that has UTF8 encoding:
ifile = open(fname, "r")
for row in csv.reader(ifile):
name = row[0]
print repr(row[0])
This works fine, and prints out what I expect it to print out; a UTF8
encoded str:
> '\xc3\x81lvaro Salazar'
> '\xc3\x89lodie Yung'
...
Furthermore when I simply print the str (as opposed to repr()) the output
displays ok (which I don't understand eitherway - shouldn't this cause an
error?):
> Álvaro Salazar
> Élodie Yung
but when I try to convert my UTF8 encoded strs to unicode:
ifile = open(fname, "r")
for row in csv.reader(ifile):
name = row[0]
print unicode(name, 'utf-8') # or name.decode('utf-8')
I get the infamous:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scripts/script.py", line 33, in <module>
print unicode(fullname, 'utf-8')
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xc1' in
position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
So I looked at the unicode strings that are created:
ifile = open(fname, "r")
for row in csv.reader(ifile):
name = row[0]
unicode_name = unicode(name, 'utf-8')
print repr(unicode_name)
and the output is
> u'\xc1lvaro Salazar'
> u'\xc9lodie Yung'
So now I'm totally confused as these seem to be mangled hex values. I've
read this question:
Reading a UTF8 CSV file with Python
and it appears I am doing everything correctly, leading me to believe that
my file is not actually UTF8, but when I initially print out the repr
values of the cells, they appear to to correct UTF8 hex values. Can anyone
either point out my problem or indicate where my understanding is breaking
down (as I'm starting to get lost in the jungle of encodings)



As an aside, I believe I could use codecs to open the file and read it
directly into unicode objects, but the csv module doesn't support unicode
natively so I can use this approach.

Operation could destabilize the runtime Enterprise Library 6

Operation could destabilize the runtime Enterprise Library 6

I created a .NET 4.5 Console app to try out the Semantic Logging bits in
the new Ent Lib v6. Using the sample code from the PDF:
var listener2 = new ObservableEventListener();
listener2.EnableEvents( EventSourceCore.Log , EventLevel.LogAlways ,
Keywords.All );
SinkSubscription<SqlDatabaseSink> subscription =
listener2.LogToSqlDatabase( "Demo Semantic Logging Instance" ,
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["mdbconn"] );
Running the code immediately gives the error "Operation could destabilize
the runtime". Looking at the stack trace within the Exception helper from
VS2012, I see

Looking at the Entlib source code, line 32 in SqlDatabaseSink.cs shows
private readonly RetryPolicy retryPolicy = new
RetryPolicy<SqlDatabaseTransientErrorDetectionStrategy>(5,
TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1),
TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
Going to line 59 in RetryPolicyGeneric.cs that shows
public RetryPolicy(int retryCount, TimeSpan minBackoff, TimeSpan
maxBackoff, TimeSpan deltaBackoff)
: base(new T(), retryCount, minBackoff, maxBackoff, deltaBackoff)
But I don't see anything like an implicit cast that could be causing the
problem, that was found in other SO posts.
What did I miss? Has anyone actually seen the logging block work "out of
the box"?
Thanks,

jQuery replace text when clicking over different input text objects

jQuery replace text when clicking over different input text objects

I'm new to JS/jQuery. WHat I try to achieve is that every time I press
over "Title" or "Description", only the current's text area message should
appear.
I tried to clone the original div, but I really didn't know where or how
to use it, so this idea of replacing the text seemed easier to implement.
As I said, I'm new to web programming and I really hit the rock. I don't
understand why the following code doesn't work:
http://jsfiddle.net/MceE9/
<div class="content">
<form method="POST" id="anunt">
<table id="anunt">
<tr id="title">
<td> Title: </td>
<td> <input type='text' name='title' id='titleClick'> </td>
</tr>
<tr id="description">
<td> Description: </td>
<td> <textarea rows="5" cols="40" id="descriptionClick"
name="description"></textarea> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> <input type="submit" name="send" value="Send"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
var title;
var description;
$('#titleClick').one('click', function(){
title = '<span id="text" style="font-weight: bold; font-size:
18px; color: red;">Title text</span>';
$("#title").append(title);
$('#description').html($('#description').html().replace(description,
''));
});
$('#descriptionClick').one('click', function(){
description = '<span id="text" style="float:left; font-weight:
bold; font-size: 18px; color: red;"> Description text</span>';
$("#description").append(description);
$('#title').html($('#title').html().replace(title, ''));
});

XSLT Data Merge

XSLT Data Merge

I have a very basic knowledge of XSLT and I am currently trying to achieve
something which I am still trying to figure out if its possible.
Can be XSLT 1.0 or 2.0
Basically this is the structure of my XML

I would like this the output the following

<AMOUNT> 33811.0000000</AMOUNT>
</Line>
<HEAD>567</HEAD>
</Record>
</DataPage>
</Root>
So the logic would be to merge all records with the same DEBITNO.
The rules for the merge is everything other than ID, Date, Year, DESC and
AMOUNT can be taken from the 1st appearance
ID, Date, Year, DESC and AMOUNT needs to be placed into a tag, so if there
are 2 records with the same DEBITNO there will be 2 line items, if there
are 5 records with the same DEBITNO the resulting record will have 5 line
items.
I hope that makes sense.
Is something like this possible?

LaTeX3: l3keys Multiple-Choices Keys and Startup Value for Predefined Choice Integer Variable

LaTeX3: l3keys Multiple-Choices Keys and Startup Value for Predefined
Choice Integer Variable

In the interface3 documentation it can be read (what follows is not a
literal quotation) that the variable \l_keys_choice_int is available to be
used as an index register for a multiple-choices key with its values
starting up from 0. Nonetheless, according to my experience with the code
below, it is as though the starting value is actually 1.
This is my class, in a file insightfully called myclass.cls:
\RequirePackage{l3keys2e,xparse}
\ProvidesExplClass
{myclass}
{2013/08/25}
{1.0}
{myclass}
\bool_new:N \g_myclass_enum_bool
\bool_new:N \g_myclass_enumalt_bool
\NewDocumentCommand \SetTBool { m }
{
\bool_gset_true:c
{ g_myclass_\tl_trim_spaces:n {#1} _bool}
}
\NewDocumentCommand \TypeBool { m }
{ \bool_if:cTF { g_myclass_#1_bool } { T } { F } }
\keys_define:nn { myclass }
{
alter .choice_code:n =
{
\AtBeginDocument{Option ~ Index: ~ \int_use:N \l_keys_choice_int\par}
\int_compare:nNnTF { \l_keys_choice_int } = { 1 }
{ \SetTBool { enum } }
{ \SetTBool { enumalt } }
},
alter .generate_choices:n = { enum, enumalt }
}
\ProcessKeysOptions { myclass }
\LoadClass{memoir}
Then I have a document file by the original name mydoc.tex reading thus:
\documentclass[alter = enum]{myclass}
\begin{document}
\TypeBool{enum}\par
\TypeBool{enumalt}
\end{document}
What I get in my typeset document is 1 T F, whereas according to the
documentation I should get 0 T F. Moreover, if I set the class option
alter = enumalt, I get 2 F T. Am I getting something wrong?

Running Topcoder arena applet behind University firewall

Running Topcoder arena applet behind University firewall

I am posting this question here after redirection from stackoverflow. I
don't know if it's appropriate or not but I'm dying to get a solution. In
our University, connections to external IP through the non standard port
is blocked as a result of which I can't run Top Coder arena applet by
filling in the proxy details (We connect through proxy). I then have to
use Tor to route the traffic through the socks for the applet. Here is
what I do :
Run tor and establish a network.
Fill in socks and proxy details in Java Control Panel
Run topcoder arena with values of socks proxy.
However, this thing doesn't work out all the time. It may connect today
and may not for next week. I can see in Tor's view network area where it
makes connection to TopCoder servers, but the connection closes. I have
tried like thousands of times. Please help me. Am I doing something wrong?
Do you have any alternatives on Ubuntu?

program exits when shellexcute was called

program exits when shellexcute was called

win7 OS, vs2008. My program disappears when shellexcute was called,
It's a WTL project and the code like these: *.h
COMMAND_HANDLER(IDC_BTN_LOGIN, BN_CLICKED, DoLogin)
*.cpp
LRESULT XLoginView::DoLogin(WORD, WORD, HWND, BOOL&)
{
::ShellExecute(NULL, _T("open"), _T("http://mysite.com/login.php"),
NULL,NULL, SW_SHOW);
return 0;
}
when the login button was clicked, then my program was disappeard and the
visual studio exit too.
even the code is such simple as these:
int _tmain(int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[])
{
int nRetCode = 0;
// initialize MFC and print and error on failure
if (!AfxWinInit(::GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL, ::GetCommandLine(), 0))
{
// TODO: change error code to suit your needs
_tprintf(_T("Fatal Error: MFC initialization failed\n"));
nRetCode = 1;
}
else
{
// TODO: code your application's behavior here.
ShellExecute(NULL, L"open", L"http://stackoverflow.com", NULL,
NULL, SW_SHOW);
}
return nRetCode;
}
the site(etc:http://stackoverflow.com) was openned only the first running
or debugging, then the second time and over, the visual studio disappears
at the same time.

Sending custom headers through RSpec

Sending custom headers through RSpec

Given my API consumers are required to send a customer HTTP header like this:
# curl -H 'X-SomeHeader: 123' http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/api_call.json
Then I can read this header in a before_filter method like this:
class ApiController < ApplicationController
before_filter :log_request
private
def log_request
logger.debug "Header: #{request.env['HTTP_X_SOMEHEADER']}"
...
end
end
So far great. Now I would like to test this using RSpec as there is a
change in behavior:
describe ApiController do
it "should process the header" do
@request.env['HTTP_X_SOMEHEADER'] = '123'
get :api_call
...
end
end
However, the request received in ApiController will not be able to find
the header variable.
When trying the same code with the HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE header, it will
work. Are custom headers filtered somewhere?

Decide the entity type of entity framework query dinamically

Decide the entity type of entity framework query dinamically

and in this class I have 2 DataSets
public DbSet<Config> Config { get; set; }
public DbSet<Parameters> Parameters { get; set; }
that look like:
public partial class Config
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Value { get; set; }
public string Override { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }

Compilation issues with method overloading

Compilation issues with method overloading

I was working on a personal project and overloaded some methods in Java so
as to make things easier to call and read. And then I started thinking
about how the compiler does the correct assignment of the called method.
Could anyone explain to me in more detail what issues the compiler might
face when we overload methods?
Aside from having to type and signature check each and every single one of
the existing methods with that name, is there something else at stake? Or
how does it know exactly which method will be called?

How important is my pet and the fish I feed him?

How important is my pet and the fish I feed him?

Ok, so I have this cute pet that I picked. It attacks things and I can use
fish to make it uber. The problem I have is that I don't seem to care very
much about him, except that his trips to town are very convenient. What I
want to know, in hopes that I will find new appreciation for my pet, is
how important he really is to my survival and progress.
Here's the question: Assuming I give him the best collar and tags I can
find, how much of a difference can fish really make?
I have searched for questions regarding the effects of various fish and
therefore understand their various effects, but they don't seem
significant. As a result, I seldom bother to feed fish to my pet. I've
even assigned a hotkey to fish feeding, but still seldom bother. The
problem is probably that I do not know what percentage of my DPS is
generated by my pet, and therefore do not account for him whatsoever. (He
is useful but unaccountable.)

Convert mysqli pagination to prepared statement pagination

Convert mysqli pagination to prepared statement pagination

Sorry to trouble you guys as I am really desperate. I am going to try to
paginate using prepared statement. I tried this Paginate result set having
written the query with prepared statements, but no luck with Fatal error:
Call to undefined method mysqli_stmt::get_result() my PHP is =5.3 what i
did is convert
$sql2 = "SELECT COUNT(id) FROM products ";
$query2 = mysqli_query($myConnection, $sql2);
$row = mysqli_fetch_row($query2);
// Here we have the total row count
$rows = $row[0];
to this code :
$stmt=$myConnection->prepare('SELECT id FROM products');
// Don't use bind_result()...
// execute your statement
$stmt->execute();
// Get result set into a MySQLi result resource
$result = $stmt->get_result();
// array to hold all results
$rowset = array();
// And fetch with a while loop
while ($rows = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$row[] = $rows;
}
also I do aware that this is just the first stage as there is still :
// This sets the range of rows to query for the chosen $pagenum
$limit = 'LIMIT ' .($pagenum - 1) * $page_rows .',' .$page_rows;
// This is your query again, it is for grabbing just one page worth of
rows by applying $limit
$sql = "SELECT id,product_name, price FROM products ORDER BY product_name
DESC $limit";
$query = mysqli_query($myConnection, $sql);
to convert to prepared statement which i will try to do after the first
part succeeded.
and also the last bit to convert
$dynamicList = '';
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query, MYSQLI_ASSOC)){
$id = $row["id"];
$product_name = $row["product_name"];

Circular references preventing serialization of object graph

Circular references preventing serialization of object graph

I've got a simple data model involving Weeds and Weed Families.
WeedFamily <-1---*-> Weed (WeedFamily and Weed have a one-to-many
relationship)
I'm attempting to complete my first ApiController so that I can easily
retrieve my data as JSON for an AngularJS application. When I access the
/WeedAPI/ URL in my application, I get the following error. I'm pretty
sure the problem is that I have circular references between Weed and
WeedFamily.
How should I change my data model so that the JSON serialization will work
while maintaining the bi-directional quality of the Weed-WeedFamily
relationship?
(ie. I want to still be able to build expressions like the following:
WeedData.GetFamilies()["mustard"].Weeds.Count
and
WeedData.GetWeeds()[3].Family.Weeds
)
The error:
<Error>

apply an already defined function to all data-frames at once

apply an already defined function to all data-frames at once

I already have defined a function (which works fine). Nevertheless, I have
20 data-frames in the working space to which I want to apply the same
function (dat1 to dat20).
So far it looks like this:
dat1 <- func(dat=dat1)
dat2 <- func(dat=dat2)
dat3 <- func(dat=dat3)
dat4 <- func(dat=dat4)
...
dat20 <- func(dat=dat20)
However, is there a way to do this more elegant with a shorter command,
i.e. to apply the function to all data-frames at once?
I tried this, but it didn´t work:
> mylist <- paste0("dat", 1:20, sep="")
>
> lapply(mylist, func)
Thanx in advance!

detect Internet Connection/Disconnection in Console App C#

detect Internet Connection/Disconnection in Console App C#

I wrote a small console app which connects with a remote site, downloads
some data and process it. As it is network operation so I want my
application to be intelligent enough to go to pause state when there is no
internet connection. If internet connection gets available it should
resume its working.
What I done so far is if I run application it starts downloading data from
remote site. If I disconnects internet connection it behaves correctly by
displaying appropriate info. But as soon as network connection is up it
resumes and only download data for one iteration of while loop.
Here is the code:
class Program
{
static bool networkIsAvailable = false;
static StreamWriter writer = null;
static int i = 1;
static string URI = "http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/" + i + "/";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
writer = new StreamWriter("c:\\StudentsList.txt", true);
NetworkChange.NetworkAvailabilityChanged += new
NetworkAvailabilityChangedEventHandler(NetworkChange_NetworkAvailabilityChanged);
NetworkInterface[] nics = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
foreach (NetworkInterface nic in nics)
{
if (
(nic.NetworkInterfaceType != NetworkInterfaceType.Loopback
&& nic.NetworkInterfaceType !=
NetworkInterfaceType.Tunnel) &&
nic.OperationalStatus == OperationalStatus.Up)
{
networkIsAvailable = true;
}
}
if (!networkIsAvailable)
Console.WriteLine("Internet connection not available! We
resume as soon as network is available...");
else
ConnectToPUServer();
}
public static void ConnectToPUServer()
{
var client = new WebClient();
while (i < 500 && networkIsAvailable)
{
string html = client.DownloadString(URI);
//some data processing
Console.WriteLine(i);
i++;
URI = "http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/" + i + "/";
}
}
static void NetworkChange_NetworkAvailabilityChanged(object sender,
NetworkAvailabilityEventArgs e)
{
networkIsAvailable = e.IsAvailable;
if (!networkIsAvailable)
Console.WriteLine("Internet connection not available! We
resume as soon as network is available...");
while (!networkIsAvailable)
{
//waiting for internet connection
}
ConnectToPUServer();
Console.WriteLine("Complete.");
writer.Close();
}
}
After resuming, why while loop of ConnectToPUServer is executing only once??
Thanks.

Mysql remote connections very slow - host lookups already disabled

Mysql remote connections very slow - host lookups already disabled

I followed every instruction about this issue and nothing helped. Remote
communication with MySQL server takes 4-30 seconds on simple query like
select 1 from table_name and connection attempt often ends up with
SQLSTATE[HY000] [2013] Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading
authorization packet', system error: 104. This is what I did so far:
[mysqld]
skip-name-resolve
skip-host-cache
bind-address = 37.187.60.211
I set all Host column values in the grant tables to remote IP address or
localhost.
I allowed incoming traffic on port 3306.
Performed tests with every service disabled on the host except MySQL
server. Tested from my home and other vps using mysql client.
I hope you can help me, thank you

Can 'this' pointer be different than the object's pointer?

Can 'this' pointer be different than the object's pointer?

I've recently came across this strange function in some class:
void* getThis() {return this;}
And later in the code it is sometimes used like so: bla->getThis() (Where
bla is a pointer to an object of the class where this function is
defined.) And I can't seem to realize what this can be good for. Is there
any situation where a pointer to an object would be different than the
object's 'this'? (where bla != bla->getThis())
It seems like a stupid question but I wonder if I'm missing something here..

Unnecessary indenting in bash

Unnecessary indenting in bash

I have been trying to paste text from one file to another in bash. Im
working in Putty.
To be more clear, I have a file hotel.txt with some lines of text that are
indented, thus have tabs and spaces. When I paste a few of those indented
lines into another file created using vi , they are pasted with a tab
extra each.
All my text is automatically indented with each line having an extra tab
as soon as I paste using the right click mouse button.
Does anyone have any solution?
Ive tried :set paste, but doesnt work with me apparantly.

gsoap HTTP Authentication

gsoap HTTP Authentication

I am working with gsoap 2.8.15 and I'm trying to implement the HTTP
Authentication by following the instructions in section 19.14 of gsoap
documentation (http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soapdoc2.html#tth_sEc19.14).
The only difference is that the codes introduced in the documentation is
written in C but I'am codeing in c++.
Here is my codes for client side of the web service
// The variable wsp is a instance of web service proxy generated by soapcpp2.
// The proxy is a sub-class of the class soap
wsp.userid = "user";
wsp.passwd = "password";
wsp.get_version(&result);
In the server side, I use these codes to check the authentication:
// The variable wss is the a instance of web service service generated by
soapcpp2.
if (wss.userid == NULL || wss.passwd == NULL)
//......
The problem is when I call the function of web service using the
client-side code, the user userid and passwd is always NULL in
server-side. But when I call the same function using soapUI by passing the
userid and passwd with preemptive authorisation type, the server will get
the information without problem.
I appreciate if anyone can help me work out the problem. Thanks for your
attention.

Show window size while resizing or moving

Show window size while resizing or moving

In other desktop environments, it was possible to display the window size
(and position) while resizing (or moving) the window. In Xubuntu (Ubuntu
12.04.2 LTS, running Xfce), this feature was terminated.
There are at least two use cases where this is quite useful:
Resizing the web browser to specific dimensions (1024x768).
Comparing two PDFs where the content is scaled to fit page width.
The first can be resolved using a plug-in for Chrome or Firefox. The
second could be resolved using the wmctrl app. The convenience of having
the location and dimensions always shown while moving or resizing is quite
handy. Rather than having multiple solutions, or having to run a command,
it'd be nice to have a solution integrated with the window manager.
Ensuring exact window sizes is more than obtuse pedantry.
How would you get this functionality back?

Receiving Invalid policy document or request headers error when using fineuploader for amazon s3

Receiving Invalid policy document or request headers error when using
fineuploader for amazon s3

I am trying to use FineUploader's new feature allowing direct upload to
amazon s3. Currently, I am not able to upload photos. I am getting the
error: "Invalid policy document or request headers!"
The developers asked that questions be posted here at stackoverflow.
I am following their instructions on this page:
http://blog.fineuploader.com/2013/08/16/fine-uploader-s3-upload-directly-to-amazon-s3-from-your-browser/#guide
In setting things up, I have also emulated the example file linked to
there:
https://github.com/Widen/fine-uploader-server/blob/master/php/s3/s3demo.php
I have my javascript set up thusly with very few options:
$('#fineuploader-s3').fineUploaderS3({
request: {
endpoint: "http://thenameofmybucket.s3.amazonaws.com",
accessKey: "mypublicaccesskey"
},
signature: {
endpoint: "s3demo.php"
},
iframeSupport: {
localBlankPagePath: "/success.html"
},
cors: {
expected: true
}
});
I know there are lots of places where this could have gone wrong for me. I
have never used s3 or fineuploader before, so sorry if these are dumb
questions. But here are the places where I felt most confused in setting
up. I have a feeling the problem lies in #1:
(1) In the example javascript, this is how the path to signature is set up:
// REQUIRED: Path to our local server where requests can be signed.
signature: {
endpoint: "/s3/signtureHandler"
},
I wasn't sure if that is meant to be an empty file where some json is
created or if it's supposed to point to the php script where the function
to create the json is, in my case s3demo.php, which I copied directly.
(2) In the s3demo.php file, the only lines I changed were these:
$clientPrivateKey = $_SERVER['I put my private key here'];
$expectedBucket = "http://thenameofmybucket.s3.amazonaws.com";
function handlePreflightedRequest() {
// If you are relying on CORS, you will need to adjust the allowed
domain here.
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://mywebsitename.org');
}
(3) This is what I have for my CORS file, I wasn't sure if it was right
because the examples on the instructional page don't include the tags:
<CORSRule>
<AllowedOrigin>http://mywebsitename.org</AllowedOrigin>
<AllowedMethod>POST</AllowedMethod>
<MaxAgeSeconds>3000</MaxAgeSeconds>
<AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
</CORSRule>
(4) As detailed in the instructions, I went into IAM panel and created a
group with the policy copied from the instructions exactly, but with the
actual name of my bucket:
{
"Version":"2012-10-17",
"Statement":[{
"Effect":"Allow",
"Action":"s3:PutObject",
"Resource":"arn:aws:s3:::thenameofmybucket/*"
}]
}
, then a user from which I obtained the public and private access keys
used in the javascript and php files respectively.The username is not
specifically used anywhere in the scripts.
I'm hoping there is something really obvious that I've done incorrectly
here. Thanks for your time.
