I've convinced myself that they can't. Take for example: 4 4 + 4 / stack: 4 stack: 4 4 4 + 4 = 8 stack: 8 stack: 8 4 8 / 4 = 2 stack: 2 There are two ways that you could write the above expression with the same operators and operands such that the operands all come first: "4 4 4 + /" and "4 4 4 / +", neither of w...
Can all RPN expressions be represented such that all operators appear on the left and all operands appear on the right?

The accepted answer recommends using strings to represent multi-dimensional indices. However, constructing strings is needlessly wasteful for this. If the size isn’t known at compile time (and thus `std::tuple` doesn’t work), `std::vector` works well as an index, both with hash maps and ordered trees. For `std::map`, t...

It is enough to show one that can't in order to tell you the answer to this. If you can't reorder the stack contents, then the expression (2+4)*(7+8) can't be rearranged. 2 4 + 7 8 + * No matter how you reorder this, you'll end up with something that needs to be summed before you go on. At least I believe so.

I have a .Net desktop application with a TreeView as one of the UI elements. I want to be able to multi-select that TreeView, only that isn't supported at all. So I'm adding check-boxes to the tree, My problem is that only some items are selectable, and those that aren't can't consistently cascade selections. Is th...

The most optimal function would be to use a table instead of a function. Using a function causes extra CPU load to create the values for the data being returned, especially if the values being returned cover a very large range.

How should I go about starting the beta, ...

Forgive my ignorance, but if they're all class libraries, what does the code do? Isn't the purpose of having a dll so that the code can be referenced. In any case if you mark everything [internal](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7c5ka91b.aspx) it won't be able to be accessed outside its own library

I think you can't forbid other applications to reference you library. You can make library's classes internal and provide access to them via [InternalVisibleTo](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.compilerservices.internalsvisibletoattribute.aspx) attribute but it won't save you from reflection.

The short answer for this is no! You can not link in a dll during compilation. I don't know if there is some subtle way to do this, but you would probably have to distribute the dlls along with your cms. The best way to do this is to make some kind of re-distributable.

I don't think that, if you specify a doctype, there is any reason not to adhere to this doctype. Using XHTML makes automated error detection easy, every change can be automatically checked for invalid markup. This prevents errors, especially when using automatically generated content. It is really easy for a web devel...

I have used this solution before to share a assembley info.cs file across all projects in a solution I would presume the same would work fro a resource file. Create a linked file to each individual project/class library. There will be only one copy and every project will have a reference to the code via a linked file...

Hmm, problems related to the people? Are you referring to usability problems? Also, if you are doing a beta,it means you already did everything you know (in my opinion). One of the goals of a beta is to show you what you didn't knew, besides unexpected code problems, etc.

The most common way to convert files to a pdf is to print them to a pdf printer driver. There are a number of such drivers, one that i know of that will do the job is [Black Ice](http://www.blackice.com/Printer%20Drivers/). Another is to use Adobe Acrobat's SDK. from memory its very expensive. Its been a while since...

The usual generic Unix answer to this is 'PAM'. If you want plain old OpenSSH SSHD to handle your SFTP, you need something plugged in to SSHD's PAM stack (/etc/pam.d/sshd) that does what you need and leaves out what you don't need. This might be a general-purpose directory server (probably LDAP) that maps all your virt...

You must remember that DirectX is a collection of technologies - Input, Audio and Graphics. However to most people DX is synonymous with the renderer.

You could also base your work on [ogre](http://www.ogre3d.org/) they provide the abstraction themselves and they have really nice tools.

A MySQL query is running significantly slower since adding a `group_concat` clause. Currently, this query looks as follows: ``` select ... group_concat(distinct category.name) .... from page where left outer join page_category on page.id = page_category.page_id left outer join category on page_category.category_id ...

In some cases we do, but it's more of a sysadmin type of use case, where the generated files (say, DNS zone files built from a script) have intrinsic interest in their own right, and the revision control is more linear audit trail than branching-and-tagging source control.

Technically, there is no "connected to the Internet". The real question is, which interface is routeable to a desired address. Right now, you're querying for the "default route" - the one that applies if no specific route to destination exists. But, you're ignoring any specific routes. Fortunately, for 99.9% of home u...
