Best way to aggregate multiple log files from several servers
I need a simple way to monitor multiple text log files distributed over a number of HP-UX servers. They are a mix of text and XML log files from several distributed legacy systems. Currently we just ssh to the servers and use tail -f and grep, but that doesn't scale when you have many logs to keep track of. Since the l...
Options: Use a SocketAppender to send all logs to 1 server directly. (This could serverly hamper performance and add a single point of failure.) Use scripts to aggregate the data. I use scp, ssh, and authentication keys to allow my scripts to get data from all servers without any login prompts.

How to access custom fields from the global class in a webhandler?
I added some custom fields (public booleans) to the global class in global.asax.cs which are initialized during the Application_Start event. How do I access them in a webhandler (ashx)? Or is it better to save them in the Application state object?
You would probably need to access the class as the type that your Global.asax.cs is rather than the type it is inheriting from. I believe it is more common to just use the Application State object for application wide variables.

Semantic Web Framework
What semantic web frameworks are there, and what are the advantages / disadvantages of each? I've made extensive use of Jena, and I have looked at Sesame briefly. Are there others I should consider as well?
a more low-level appproach is redland, which provides bindings to a lot of languages like Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby. redland itself is written in C. i have scripted with it in ruby to provide a simple webservice with a rdf backend instead of a classic database.

Home key go to start of line in Visual Studio?
Where is the option in Visual Studio to make the Home key go to the start of the line? Right now you have to do Home, Home or Home, Ctrl + Left Arrow i'd prefer that home goes to the start of the line. i saw it before, but now i cannot find it.
In Tools/Customize/Keyboard, Reassign the "Home" key from Edit.LineStart" to "Edit.LineFirstColumn" Edit by OP: You must change Scope to Text Editor before this will work. Visual Studio 2010 Visual Studio 2010 removed the "scope" option. Instead you want the "Use new shortcut in" option:

Is there a Functional Programming library for .NET?
For example, in Java there is Functional Java and Higher-Order Java. Both essentially give a small API for manipulating higher-order, curried functions, and perhaps a few new data types (tuples, immutable lists).
have you looked into F#? Also a neat blog post would be here that talks about how to use the new generic / lambda expressions built into c# 3.0. If you just add using System.Linq to the top of your source file there are a LOT of nice new functions added to working with collections such as folding / filtering / etc.

Log4net with SyslogAppender, 1kb message limit
Has anyone found a way to get around this? Or a better technique to conglomerate logging from multiple web servers reliably? Any ideas on good log4net log file analysis tools too (plain text not XML) - apart from good 'ol grep of course:)
The 1024 byte limit is part of the syslog RFC (section 4.1), as is UDP transport which doesn't have guaranteed delivery (in case you worry about log lines lost in the ether). I think syslog-ng can solve both these issues, but I'm not a syslog expert.

Why isn't the 'len' function inherited by dictionaries and lists in Python
example: a_list = [1, 2, 3] a_list.len() # doesn't work len(a_list) # works Python being (very) object oriented, I don't understand why the 'len' function isn't inherited by the object. Plus I keep trying the wrong solution since it appears as the logical one to me
Guido's explanation is here: First of all, I chose len(x) over x.len() for HCI reasons (def __len__() came much later). There are two intertwined reasons actually, both HCI: (a) For some operations, prefix notation just reads better than postfix — prefix (and infix!) operations have a long tradition in mathematics whic...

Yes, any change in any part of the URL (excluding HTTP and HTTPS protocols changes) is interpreted as a different resource by the browser (and any intermediary proxies), and will thus result in a separate entity in the browser-cache.

Using Component Object Model (COM) on non-Microsoft platforms
I'm regularly running into similar situations: I have a bunch of COM.DLLs (no IDL files) which I need to use and invoke to be able to access some foreign (non-open, non-documented) data format. Microsoft's Visual Studio platform has very nice capabilities to import such COM DLLs and use them in my project (Visual C++'s...
Answering myself but I managed to find the perfect library for OLE/COM calling in non-Microsoft compilers: disphelper. (it's available from sourceforge.net under a permissive BSD license). It works both in C and C++ (and thus any other language with C bindings as well). It uses a printf/scanf-like format string syntax....

Does an IIS worker process clear session variables when it recycles?
We're writing an asp.net web app on IIS 6 and are planning on storing our user login variables in a session. Will this be removed when the worker process recycles?
If session is stored in-proc then YES worker process recycle will remove it. Use Out-of-proc model or sql server to store session value if you want to keep it stored.

This is easy. Yes, you need a "sms gateway" provider. There are a lot out there. These companies provide APIs for you to send/receive SMS. e.g. the German company Mobilant provides an easy API.

How do I create an index on a column in MySQL v 5.0 (myisam db engine) based upon the length of its value its a TEXT data type up to 7000 characters, do I have to add another column with the length of the first column?
Yes, as MySQL doesn't support function-based indexes (like ADD INDEX myIndex(LENGTH(text))), you'll need a new int column and define a trigger to auto-update it after inserts and updates.

The html helper methods check the ViewDataDictionary for a value. The value can either be in the dictionary or in the Model, as a property.

There's no way to specify a format with the helpers themselves. The approach you've taken will work. Another approach is to add the value pre-formatted into the ModelState.

You can give to_s a base other than 10: 10.to_s(16) #=> "a" Note that in ruby 2.4 FixNum and BigNum were unified in the Integer class. If you are using an older ruby check the documentation of FixNum# to_s and BigNum# to_s

Reuse of SQL stored procedures across applications
I'm curious about people's approaches to using stored procedures in a database that is accessed by many applications. Specifically, do you tend to keep different sets of stored procedures for each application, do you try to use a shared set, or do you do a mix?

It all depends on your abstraction strategy. Are the stored procedures treated as a discrete point of abstraction, or are they treated as just another part of the application that calls them. The answer to that will tell you how to manage them. If they are a discrete abstraction, they can be shared, as if you need new ...
Reuse of SQL stored procedures across applications I'm curious about people's approaches to using stored procedures in a database that is accessed by many applications.

According to the docs, you can do something like this: You should be able to simply call it with method="#myMethod#" to dynamically call a particular function.

What is the best way to share files between Xen VM's?
Is there some built-in way to share files between Xen guests? I don't currently need to share the actual images, just some data files.
Do you mean between Xen and the host or between different guests? If guests, I don't think there is something provided but you should probably use NFS as it is the best supported file system that supports a decent number of permissions and attributes but assumes a trusted network.

perldoc doesn't have an option to search for a particular entry in perlvar (like -f does for perlfunc). General searching is dependent on your pager (specified in the PAGER environment variable). Personally, I like "less." You can get less for windows from the GnuWin32 project.

Distributed hierarchical clustering
Are there any algorithms that can help with hierarchical clustering? Google's map-reduce has only an example of k-clustering. In case of hierarchical clustering, I'm not sure how it's possible to divide the work between nodes. Other resource that I found is: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-19 But it's not a...
First, you have to decide if you're going to build your hierarchy bottom-up or top-down. Bottom-up is called Hierarchical agglomerative clustering. Here's a simple, well-documented algorithm: http://nlp.stanford.edu/IR-book/html/htmledition/hierarchical-agglomerative-clustering-1.html. Distributing a bottom-up algorith...

It might be easier if you stored the original value if it were illegal as a node name in an attribute. Then you wouldn't worry about having some sort of complex to/from translation.

What is the best choice for .NET inter-process communication?

Be aware that if you are planning to eventually deploy on Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, many ways that this can be done today will not work.

How do you maintain large t-sql procedures

First, create a directory full of.sql files and maintain them there. Add this set of.sql files to a revision control system. SVN works well.

What is the easiest or fastest way to make CSS render the same in all browsers
Making a web page display correctly im all major browsers today is a very time consuming task. Is there a easy way to make a CSS style that looks identical in every browser? Or at least do you have some tips to make this work easier?
I agree with all the "reset" suggestions and the "grid" framework suggestions, but I did want to add a bit of advice: The goal of identical in every browser is, in practical terms, unachievable because you cannot control the client. Case in point: fonts. You declare your font styles in CSS but some Linux machines, some...

Oracle ORDImage processing in PL/SQL: Getting IMG-00710 and ORA-01031
I have loaded image into a new, initialized Oracle ORDImage object and am processing it by PL/SQL. I can read its properties, but cannot process it with the process() method. vLocalImage ORDImage:= ORDImage.init();... vLocalImage.source.localdata:= PORTAL.wwdoc_admin.get_document_blob_content(pFile); vLocalImage.setPro...
Even though the documentation states that it should be possible to edit an ORDImage "in-place", I was unable to make it work. Instead, I created a new ORDImage object and used processCopy: vNewImage ORDImage;... vLocalImage.processCopy('maxScale 534 401', vNewImage);

Converting std::vector<>::iterator to .NET interface in C++/CLI
I am wrapping a native C++ class, which has the following methods: class Native { public: class Local { std::string m_Str; int m_Int; }; typedef std::vector LocalVec; typedef LocalVec::iterator LocalIter; LocalIter BeginLocals(); LocalIter EndLocals(); private: LocalVec m_Locals; }; 1) What is the ".NET way" of repr...
Iterators aren't exactly translatable to "the.net way", but they are roughly replaced by IEnumerable < T > and IEnumerator < T >. Rather than vector a_vector; vector::iterator a_iterator; for(int i= 0; i < 100; i++) { a_vector.push_back(i); } int total = 0; a_iterator = a_vector.begin(); while( a_iterator!= a_vector.e...
