Let's say I had a program in C# that did something computationally expensive, like encoding a list of WAV files into MP3s. Ordinarily I would encode the files one at a time, but let's say I wanted the program to figure out how many CPU cores I had and spin up an encoding thread on each core. So, when I run the program ...
How do I spawn threads on different CPU cores?

It is the operating system's job to split threads across different cores, and it will do so when automatically when your threads are using a lot of CPU time. Don't worry about that. As for finding out how many cores your user has, try `Environment.ProcessorCount` in C#.

Where each thread goes is generally handled by the OS itself...so generate 4 threads on a 4 core system and the OS will decide which cores to run each on, which will usually be 1 thread on each core.

Is there any class in STL that takes a string... I dont think so (couldnt find any in my quick search). So it's probably some design decision, that no class in STL should be dependent on any other STL class (that is not directly needed for functionality).

Are there similar tools to Clone Detective for other languages/IDEs?

You could declare the column to be both the primary key and a foreign key. This is a good strategy for "extension" tables that are used to avoid putting nullable columns into the main table.

I'd say that it is very important to consider how much load you are causing. For instance, if your crawler requests every object of a single site, more or less at once, it might cause load problems for that particular site. In other words, make sure your crawler is not too aggressive.

On SO 18 Joel mentioned an algorithm that would rank items based on their age and popularity and it's based on gravity. Could someone post this? C# would be lovely, but really any language (well, I can't do LISP) would be fine.

I believe that this has been thought about and was done to avoid the dependency; i.e. #include <fstream> should not force one to #include <string>. To be honest, this seems like quite an inconsequential issue. A better question would be, why is std::string's interface so large?

@Mark But even your method requires a fresh declaration of the method, and it somewhat takes away the advantage of putting it in a method so that you can add more logic, because to add more logic requires the old-fashioned declaration of the method, anyway.

I would recommend that you take the language specific compilers out of the equation for this one. And you can still use NAnt to do this: First start off with a target that uses MSBuild because that will compile your project regardless of language used and take care of the dependencies for you. That means you don't nee...

One of the reasons you should not (as has been said) try to allocated this sort of stuff yourself, is that you just don't have enough information to do it properly, particularly into the future with NUMA, etc. If you have a thread read-to-run, and there's a core idle, the kernel run your thread, don't worry.

Depending on your object/app, random data would have a place in load testing. I think more important would be to use data that explicitly tests the boundary conditions of the data.

We don't have a physical document we all adhere to where I work. There are a number of guidelines we try and keep in mind but there isn't really enough information to require a physcial document.

``` row.Table.DefaultView[row.Table.Rows.IndexOf(row)] ``` This is an okay answer. But if you find yourself in this situation, you should consider learning more about DataViews and how they are used, then refactor your code to be view-centric rather than table-centric.

Another possibility is to put the if statement within your logging function, you get less code this way, but at the expense of some extra function calls. I'm also not a big fan of completely removing the debug code. Once you're in production, you'll probably need access to debug messages if something goes wrong. If yo...

Can you generate some random data once (I mean exactly once, not once per test run), then use it in all tests thereafter? I can definitely see the value in creating random data to test those cases that you haven't thought of, but you're right, having unit tests that can randomly pass or fail is a bad thing.

In the case of managed threads, the complexity of doing this is a degree greater than that of native threads. This is because CLR threads are not directly tied to a native OS thread. In other words, the CLR can switch a thread from native thread to native thread as it sees fit. The function [Thread.BeginThreadAffin...

I always wonder how they came up with...

Unfortunately I don't think this is possible. The exception you are raising in your web service code is being encoded into a Soap Fault, which then being passed as a string back to your client code.
