There is a rich scripting model for Microsoft Office, but not so with Apple iWork, and specifically the word processor Pages. While there are some AppleScript hooks, it looks like the best approach is to manipulate the underlying XML data. This turns out to be pretty ugly because (for example) page breaks are stored in XML. So for example, you have something like: ``` ... we hold these truths to be self evident, that </page> <page>all men are created equal, and are ... ``` So if you want to add or remove text, you have to move the start/end tags around based on the size of

In order for two applications (separate processes) to exchange events, they must agree on how these events are communicated. There are many different ways of doing this, and exactly which method to use may depend on architecture and context. The general term for this kind of information exchange between processes is [Inter-process Communication (IPC)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-process_communication). There exists many standard ways of doing IPC, the most common being files, pipes, (network) sockets, [remote procedure calls

I heard Joel and Jeff talking about [sIFR](http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/sifr/) in one of the [early podcasts](https://stackoverflow.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W12621). I've been using it on [www.american-data.com](http://www.american-data.com) and [www.chartright.us](http://www.chartright.us) with some fairly mixed results. Yesterday I was informed that the first line of text on my website appeared upside down in Internet Explorer 6 without flash player. I'm pretty sure that assessment was wrong, owing to no flash player = no sIFR. But I'm getting some odd behavior on my pages, at least in IE 6, 7 and 8. I only really wanted to use sIFR because my fonts looked crummy on my computer in Firefox. My

question is: if you use sIFR, when do you use sIFR? In which cases do you disable sIFR? When is it better to just use the browser font? You use sIFR moderately, say for headlines. Try not to use it for links, because links in Flash don't work as well as normal HTML links. It also makes little sense to use sIFR only for text that never changes, an image would work a lot better. I haven't heard about the upside-down problem in a few years now, but in any case, that's an issue with IE 6 and (an old?) Flash player.

I have a process in Linux that's getting a segmentation fault. How can I tell it to generate a core dump when it fails? This depends on what shell you are using. If you are using bash, then the ulimit command controls several settings relating to program execution, such as whether you should dump core. If you type ``` ulimit -c unlimited ``` then that will tell bash that its programs can dump cores of any size. You can specify a size such as 52M instead of unlimited if you want, but in practice this shouldn't be necessary since the size of core files will

Has anyone modified CruiseControl.NET's dashboard to add custom login and user roles (IE, Separate out access to forcing a build to only certain individuals on a per project basis? The dashboard is a .NET App, but I believe it uses the nVelocity view engine instead of web forms, which I don't have experience with.

limit users in the way with an integration server. I think that's why CC.Net doesn't have that sort of support built in. You can always see who forced a build, and control it that way. I find that continuous integration works best with regular builds and regular unit test runs (our rather large C# app + test run takes 25 mins and checks hourly), so for me forcing a build is rarely an issue. If you want some users to have some kind of report-only access you could limit them so that they can't access the CC.Net web application at all. All the

your answer. Based on what I know so far, I think the following pseudo-code would be my approach: ``` sourceFile = Compress("*.*"); destFile = "X:\files.zip"; int copyFlags = COPYFILEFAILIFEXISTS | COPYFILERESTARTABLE; while (CopyFileEx(sourceFile, destFile, null, null, false, copyFlags) == 0) { do { // optionally, increment a failed counter to break out at some point Sleep(1000); while (!IsNetworkAlive(NETWORKALIVELAN)); } ``` Compressing the files first saves you the tracking of which files you've successfully copied, and which you need to restart. It should also make the copy go faster (smaller total file size, and larger single file size),

What methods are there for automatically getting a stack trace on Unix systems? I don't mean just getting a core file or attaching interactively with GDB, but having a SIGSEGV handler that dumps a backtrace to a text file. Bonus points for the following optional features: * Extra information gathering at crash time (eg. config files). * Email a crash info bundle to the developers. * Ability to add this in a `dlopen`ed shared library * Not requiring a GUI If you are on systems with the BSD [`backtrace`](http://linux.die.net/man/3/backtrace) functionality available (Linux, OSX 1.5, BSD of course), you can do this programmatically in your signal

I'm a long time hobbyist programmer interested in getting into web application development. I have a fair amount of personal experience with various non-web languages, but have never really branched over to web applications. I don't usually have any issues learning new languages or technologies, so I'm not worried about which is the "best" language or web stack to work with. Instead, I'd like to know of any recommended resources (books, articles, web sites, maybe even college courses) that discuss web application design: managing and optimizing server interaction, security concerns, scalability, and other topics that fall under design rather than implementation.

would you recommend for a Standalone Application Developer wanting to branch out into Web Development? There is a wide variety of web application languages you could get into. The ones I have most experience with (and therefore will be talking about here) are PHP, eRuby and Ruby on Rails. All of these have good tutorials available on the internet - I'll link to some of them below. Which to choose depends on exactly what you're looking to do. Using PHP and eRuby you have to do most things yourself - whereas Ruby on Rails will do lots of stuff for you (useful,

but can also be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing). Ruby on Rails is good for doing database related things - for example the standard CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application. The standard kind of app Ruby on Rails (often abbreviated to RoR) tutorials teach you is a blog application (Create entries, Read entries, Update entries, Delete entries) or an Address Book Application. It is possible to do many of these sort of applications almost in one line of code - using RoR's 'scaffold' function. PHP and eRuby make you do more of the work yourself - but this

can be better in some situations. PHP is more well known and used than eRuby, but I like the Ruby language so I tend to like using eRuby. These are both good for doing simple applications (like contact forms on websites) or more complex applications (phpBB - a piece of forum software is written in php). As for which one to choose - I'd have a play with them and see what you think. Try running through the first few bits of a tutorial with each and see how whether you like it or not.

If not, what tools are you using and do you have or know of example mini-projects that demonstrate how it all works? ### Update: I forgot to mention that I'm using BDS 2006 Pro, though I occasionally drop into Delphi 7, and of course others may be using other versions.

Trying to setup an SSH server on Windows Server 2003. What are some good ones? Preferably open source. I plan on using WinSCP as a client so a server which supports the advanced features implemented by that client would be great. I've been using [Bitvise SSH Server](http://www.bitvise.com/winsshd) and it's really great. From install to administration it does it all through a GUI so you won't be putting together a sshd\_config file.

I've found myself increasingly unsatisfied with the DataSet/DataTable/DataRow paradigm in .Net, mostly because it's often a couple of steps more complicated than what I really want to do. In cases where I'm binding to controls, DataSets are fine. But in other cases, there seems to be a fair amount of mental overhead. I've played a bit with SqlDataReader, and that seems to be good for simple jaunts through a select, but I feel like there may be some other models lurking in .Net that are useful to learn more about. I feel like all of the help I find on this

just uses DataSet by default. Maybe that and DataReader really are the best options. I'm not looking for a best/worst breakdown, just curious what my options are and what experiences you've had with them. Thanks! -Eric Sipple Since .NET 3.5 came out, I've exclusively used LINQ. It's really that good; I don't see any reason to use any of those old crutches any more. As great as LINQ is, though, I think any ORM system would allow you to do away with that dreck.

However, I hoped I could just use a property like: ``` public Size RestoreSize { get {
[ -0.15428385138511658, 0.12599414587020874, 0.6399684548377991, -0.008859426714479923, -0.07553596049547195, -0.2790190875530243, 0.32278305292129517, -0.34617486596107483, -0.34154337644577026, -0.6118664145469666, -0.3386843204498291, 0.39582645893096924, -0.39617589116096497, -0.03245472...
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Normal) { return this.Size; } else { return this.RestoreBounds.Size; } } set { ... } } ``` But I can't

see a way to bind this in the designer (Size is notably missing from the PropertyBinding list). I finally came up with a Form subclass that solves this, once and for all. To use it: 1. Inherit from RestorableForm instead of Form. 2. Add a binding in (ApplicationSettings) -> (PropertyBinding) to WindowRestoreState. 3. Call Properties.Settings.Default.Save() when the window is about to close. Now window position and state will be remembered between sessions. Following the suggestions from other posters below, I included a function ConstrainToScreen that makes sure the window fits nicely on the available displays when restoring itself. ### Code ``` // Consider this code public domain.

Anyone know a quick easy way to migrate a SQLite3 database to MySQL? Here is a list of converters (not updated since 2011): * <https://www2.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=ConverterTools> (or [snapshot at archive.org](https://web.archive.org/web/20160716191418/https://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=ConverterTools)) --- An alternative method that would work nicely but is rarely mentioned is: use an ORM class that abstracts specific database differences away for you. e.g. you get these in PHP ([RedBean](http://www.redbeanphp.com)), Python (Django's ORM layer, [Storm](https://storm.canonical.com/), [SqlAlchemy](http://www.sqlalchemy.org)), Ruby on Rails ([ActiveRecord](http://ar.rubyonrails.org/)), Cocoa ([CoreData](http://developer.apple.com/technologies/mac/data-management.html)) i.e. you could do this: 1. Load data from source database using the ORM class. 2. Store data in memory or serialize to disk. 3. Store data into destination database using the ORM class.

Our company is currently writing a GUI automation testing tool for compact framework applications. We have initially searched many tools but none of them was right for us. By using the tool you can record test-cases and group them together to test-suites. For every test-suite there is generated an application, which launches the application-under-test and simulates user-input. In general the tool works fine, but as we are using **window handles** for simulation user input, you can't do very many things. For example it is impossible for us to get the name of a control (we just get the caption). Another problem

using window handles is checking for a change. At the moment we simulate a click on a control and depending on the result we know if the application has gone to the next step. Is there any other (simpler) way for doing such things (for example the message queue or anything else)? If the Automated GUI testing tool has knowledge about the framework the application is written in it could use that information to make better or more advanced scripts.

Since both a `Table Scan` and a `Clustered Index Scan` essentially scan all records in the table, why is a Clustered Index Scan supposedly better? As an example - what's the performance difference between the following when there are many records?: ``` declare @temp table( SomeColumn varchar(50) ) insert into @temp select 'SomeVal' select * from @temp ----------------------------- declare @temp table( RowID int not null identity(1,1) primary key, SomeColumn varchar(50) ) insert into @temp select 'SomeVal' select * from @temp ``` In a table without a clustered index (a heap table), data pages are not linked together - so traversing pages requires a [lookup into the

Index Allocation Map](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188270.aspx). A clustered table, however, has it's [data pages linked in a doubly linked list](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms177443.aspx) - making sequential scans a bit faster. Of course, in exchange, you have the overhead of dealing with keeping the data pages in order on `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, and `DELETE`. A heap table, however, requires a second write to the IAM. If your query has a `RANGE` operator (e.g.: `SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE Id BETWEEN 1 AND 100`), then a clustered table (being in a guaranteed order) would be more efficient - as it could use the index pages to find the relevant data page(s).

A heap would have to scan all rows, since it cannot rely on ordering. And, of course, a clustered index lets you do a CLUSTERED INDEX SEEK, which is pretty much optimal for performance...a heap with no indexes would always result in a table scan. So: * For your example query where you select all rows, the only difference is the doubly linked list a clustered index maintains. This should make your clustered table just a tiny bit faster than a heap with a large number of rows. * For a query with a `WHERE` clause that can be (at least partially) satisfied by
[ -0.3280054032802582, -0.32091042399406433, 0.09018699079751968, 0.24537190794944763, -0.26934486627578735, -0.013873822055757046, 0.05129789188504219, -0.11798475682735443, -0.18771453201770782, -0.7620357275009155, -0.10867846757173538, 0.18635189533233643, -0.37749698758125305, 0.0422136...
the clustered index, you'll come out ahead because of the ordering - so you won't have to scan the entire table. * For a query that is not satisified by the clustered index, you're pretty much even...again, the only difference being that doubly linked list for sequential scanning. In either case, you're suboptimal. * For `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, and `DELETE` a heap may or may not win. The heap doesn't have to maintain order, but does require a second write to the IAM. I think the relative performance difference would be negligible, but also pretty data dependent.

clustered index to an equivalent non-clustered index on a heap (not exactly the same as I discussed above, but close). Their conclusion is basically to put a clustered index on all tables. I'll do my best to summarize their results (again, note that they're really comparing a non-clustered index to a clustered index here - but I think it's relatively comparable): * `INSERT` performance: clustered index wins by about 3% due to the second write needed for a heap. * `UPDATE` performance: clustered index wins by about 8% due to the second lookup needed for a heap. * `DELETE` performance: clustered index wins

I'm currently working on creating a new C# project that needs to interact with an older C++ application. There is an error enumeration that already exists in the C++ app that I need to use in the C# app. *I don't want to just re declare the enumeration in C# because that could cause sync issues down the line if the files aren't updated together*. All that being said my question is this: Is there a way for me to taken an enumeration declared like so: ``` typedef enum { eDEVICEINT_ERR_FATAL = 0x10001 ... } eDeviceIntErrCodes; ``` and use it in a

When a controller renders a view based on a model you can get the properties from the ViewData collection using the indexer (ie. ViewData["Property"]). However, I have a shared user control that I tried to call using the following: ``` return View("Message", new { DisplayMessage = "This is a test" }); ``` and on my Message control I had this: ``` <%= ViewData["DisplayMessage"] %> ``` I would think this would render the DisplayMessage correctly, however, null is being returned. After a heavy dose of tinkering around, I finally created a "MessageData" class in order to strongly type my user control: ``` public class MessageControl : ViewUserControl<MessageData> ``` and now this call works: ``` return

View("Message", new MessageData() { DisplayMessage = "This is a test" }); ``` and can be displayed like this: ``` <%= ViewData.Model.DisplayMessage %> ``` Why wouldn't the DisplayMessage property be added to the ViewData (ie.

The method ``` ViewData.Eval("DisplayMessage") ``` should work for you.

For knocking out fairly "run of the mill" reports, SQL Reporting Services is really quite impressive.

What are your opinions on developing for the command line first, then adding a GUI on after the fact by simply calling the command line methods? eg. > W:\ todo AddTask "meeting with John, re: login peer review" "John's office" "2008-08-22" "14:00" loads `todo.exe` and calls a function called `AddTask` that does some validation and throws the meeting in a database.

you click submit, it calls the same AddTask function. Is this considered: * a good way to code * just for the newbies * horrendous!. **Addendum:** I'm noticing a trend here for "shared library called by both the GUI and CLI executables." Is there some compelling reason why they would have to be separated, other than maybe the size of the binaries themselves? Why not just call the same executable in different ways: * `"todo /G"` when you want the full-on graphical interface * `"todo /I"` for an interactive prompt *within* `todo.exe` (scripting, etc) * plain old `"todo <function>"` when you just want to do one thing

and be done with it. **Addendum 2:** It was mentioned that "the way [I've] described things, you [would] need to spawn an executable every time the GUI needs to do something."

to thank all of you for your input. This is something that keeps popping back in my mind and I appreciate the wisdom of your experience. I would go with building a library with a command line application that links to it. Afterwards, you can create a GUI that links to the same library. Calling a command line from a GUI spawns external processes for each command and is more disruptive to the OS. Also, with a library you can easily do unit tests for the functionality. But even as long as your functional code is separate from your command line interpreter, then

you can just re-use the source for a GUI without having the two kinds at once to perform an operation.

I am writing a batch script in order to beautify JavaScript code. It needs to work on both **Windows** and **Linux**. How can I beautify JavaScript code using the command line tools? First, pick your favorite Javascript based Pretty Print/Beautifier. I prefer the one at [<http://jsbeautifier.org/>](http://jsbeautifier.org/), because it's what I found first. Downloads its file <https://github.com/beautify-web/js-beautify/blob/master/js/lib/beautify.js> Second, download and install The Mozilla group's Java based Javascript engine, [Rhino](https://www.mozilla.org/rhino/). "Install" is a little bit misleading; Download the zip file, extract everything, place js.jar in your Java classpath (or Library/Java/Extensions on OS X). You can then run scripts with an invocation similar to this

``` java -cp js.jar org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main name-of-script.js ``` Use the Pretty Print/Beautifier from step 1 to write a small shell script that will read in your javascript file and run it through the Pretty Print/Beautifier from step one. For example ``` //original code (function() { ... js_beautify code ... }()); //new code print(global.js_beautify(readFile(arguments[0]))); ``` Rhino gives javascript a few extra useful functions that don't necessarily make sense in a browser context, but do in a console context. The function print does what you'd expect, and prints out a string. The function readFile accepts a file path string as an argument and returns the contents of that file.
