What is the best way to encrypt a very short string in PHP?
I would like to encrypt strings which could potentially only be about three or four characters but run to about twenty characters. A hashing function ( md5, sha1, crypt etc) is not suitable as I would like to be able to decrypt the information as well. The mcrypt extension has a thoroughly daunting array of possibiliti...
I highly recommend the suggestions of Chris Kite. Without knowing more about what you're doing, why, and the threats you anticipate needing to protect against AES-128 is likely sufficient. The ability to use symmetric encryption is great for a standalone app that will be both the decryptor and encryptor of data. As bot...

Table and List view with single Model in Qt
I have a 2D model where each row represents a frame in a video, and each column represents an object. The object can have different states on each frame, and this is stored in the model. Then I have a QTableView that shows this data. The model has header data, so each row has a header like "frame k" and each column has...
Two possible solutions: Try to use a proxy model (a subclass of QAbstractProxyModel) which accesses row headers as columns in a single row. Not trivial because the proxy model displays as data what the original model considers to be header. Display a second 2D view of your model, but hide everything except for the colu...

glogg could also be considered, for a different usage: Caveat (reported by Simon Tewsi in the comments, Feb. 2013) One caveat - has two search functions, Main Search and Quick Find. The lower one, which I assume is Quick Find, is at least an order of magnitude slower than the upper one, which is fast.

Get Form request with Seam/JSF
I have a query form that I would like to submit as a GET request so the result page may be bookmarked and otherwise RESTful. It's your classical text field with a submit button. How do I induce Seam/JSF to use GET and include the query expression as a parameter rather than POST, the default?
All you need to do is enable the SeamFilter in web.xml. See Blog Example for an example RESTful application using Seam. The key is to use a Seam page parameter, defined in WEB-INF/pages.xml

You really don't want to be working directly on a live web site, do you? That's just crazy. One little mistake and you've hosed the site. Visual Studio now has it's own built in web server.

OK, this might sound a bit confusing and complicated, so bear with me. We've written a framework that allows us to define friendly URLs.

Yes, queue creation is simple in.NET, however you cannot create a private queue on a remote machine this way.

Caching Data Objects when using Repository/Service Pattern and MVC
I have an MVC-based site, which is using a Repository/Service pattern for data access. The Services are written to be using in a majority of applications (console, winform, and web). Currently, the controllers communicate directly to the services. This has limited the ability to apply proper caching. I see my options a...
The easiest way would be to handle caching in your repository provider. That way you don't have to change out any code in the rest of your app; it will be oblivious to the fact that the data was served out of a cache rather than the repository. So, I'd create an interface that the controllers use to communicate with th...

It depends. Do you care if anyone sees the record id? If you do then both hidden fields and viewstate are not suitable; you need to store it in session state, or encrypt viewstate.

If you mean C# code to do this: result = 25 + (36 / 60) + (55.57 / 3600) First you'll need to parse the expression with Regex or some other mechanism and split it into the individual parts. Then: String hour = "25"; String minute = "36"; String second = "55.57"; Double result = (hour) + (minute) / 60 + (second) / 3600;...

When you pipe two process and kill the one at the "output" of the pipe, the first process used to receive the "Broken Pipe" signal, which usually terminated it aswell.

What are pros and cons of Msmqdistributor service of Enterprise Library?
We are using EntLib Logging Application Block. And also it turned out that we should use msmq for logging because of performance. Now we are trying to use Msmqdistributor service to log those messages in the queue. What are pros and cons of Msmqdistributor service of Enterprise Library? Please share your experience.
The main drawback is going to be the Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) itself. MSMQ has been around for awhile and it is a pretty cool tool. It does however lack utilities. Because of the way that data is stored in the queue, most people end up needing to write some helper utilities for debugging and manually manipulating...

If you're on a 64-bit OS, there's a pretty good chance you're being bitten by an OS-level behavior that causes exceptions to disappear. The most reliable way to reproduce it is to make a new WinForm application that simply throws an exception in OnLoad; it will appear to not get thrown. Take a look at these: Visual Stu...

As you already kind of hinted at, the answer is, "It Depends" Starting over is good because you can help trim out the stuff that was added while you were initially working out the kinks but isn't really needed.

In bash, environmental variables not tab-expanding correctly

I would recommend UTF-16 for any kind of data manipulation and UI. The Mac OS X and Win32 API uses UTF-16, same for wxWidgets, Qt, ICU, Xerces, and others.

Managed C++ Method naming
I'm using managed c++ to implement a method that returns a string. I declare the method in my header file using the following signature: String^ GetWindowText() However, when I'm using this method from C#, the signature is: string GetWindowTextW(); How do I get rid of the extra "W" at the end of the method's name?
To get around the preprocessor hackery of the Windows header files, declare it like this: #undef GetWindowText String^ GetWindowText() Note that, if you actually use the Win32 or MFC GetWindowText() routines in your code, you'll need to either redefine the macro or call them as GetWindowTextW().

My advice would be to NOT use NATURAL JOIN. Explicitly define your join conditions to avoid confusion and "hidden bugs". Here is the official NATURAL JOIN Oracle documentation and more discussion about this subject.

I haven't messed around with point sprites, but I believe that they are textures. Textures have texture matrices, which means you can use glTranslatef(), glScalef() and glRotatef() on them. I would try out something along the lines of glScalef(-1,1,1); which would flip the texture coordinate by the X axis. As I said, I...

Why use static_cast<T>(x) instead of (T)x?
I've heard that the static_cast function should be preferred to C-style or simple function-style casting. Is this true? Why?
The main reason is that classic C casts make no distinction between what we call static_cast<>(), reinterpret_cast<>(), const_cast<>(), and dynamic_cast<>(). These four things are completely different. A static_cast<>() is usually safe. There is a valid conversion in the language, or an appropriate constructor that mak...

Junit output and OutOfMemoryError
I'm running some JUnit tests on my applications. Every test has a for loop calling respective method 10000 times. The tested methods produce a lot of log.

How do I create a zoom effect in OpenGLES on the iPhone?
I have an OpenGL ES game that I am hacking together. One part of it involves looking at a large "map-like" area and then double-tapping on one part to "zoom into" it. How would you use OpenGL ES to provide this effect (given that it may need to zoom in on different parts of the map). I've heard of glScale and glOrtho, ...
The 2-D zooming you describe might be better achieved using Core Animation. NSView (and its NDA'd iPhone counterpart) provide implicit animation when you change their frame. All you'd need to do in this case would be to set the frame's origin.x and origin.y and size.width and size.height to such values to make the view...

How to render unicode characters in the correct font? (C#/WinForms)
My application correctly handles different kind of character sets, but only internally - when it comes to displaying text in standard WinForms labels und textboxes, it seems to have problems with chinese characters.

UniScribe, which was introduced in Windows 2000, is supposed to handle this transparently, meaning that it will automatically use a different font (such as Mincho) for characters that aren't present in the font you've selected. This is why it looks correct in the debugger, even though the font used in the debugger does...

The performance impact of using instanceof in Java

Modern JVM/JIT compilers have removed the performance hit of most of the traditionally "slow" operations, including instanceof, exception handling, reflection, etc. As Donald Knuth wrote, "We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil."

If you're not adverse to putting a bit of logic in your code behind, you can handle the actual LostFocus event with something like this:.xaml.xaml.cs private void TextBox_LostFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { ((Control)sender).GetBindingExpression(TextBox.TextProperty).UpdateSource(); }

It looks like you want to know how many sub-multi-sets have, say, 3 elements. The math for this gets very tricky, very quickly.

In several modern programming languages (including C++, Java, and C#), the language allows integer overflow to occur at runtime without raising any kind of error condition. For example, consider this (contrived) C# method, which does not account for the possibility of overflow/underflow. (For brevity, the method also d...
In C#, it was a question of performance. Specifically, out-of-box benchmarking. When C# was new, Microsoft was hoping a lot of C++ developers would switch to it. They knew that many C++ folks thought of C++ as being fast, especially faster than languages that "wasted" time on automatic memory management and the like. B...

What makes you a C programming expert?
I attended a job fair yesterday and a developer asked me how I would rank my proficiency in C.

Experience is key, knowing the "rules" and syntax of the of the language is of course a must, but it is only a base. Learning the common pitfalls and idioms for doing things right is key.

What's the best database access pattern for testability?
I've read about and dabbled with some including active record, repository, data transfer objects. Which is best?
Repository is probably the best pattern for testability since it allows you to replace a repository with a mock when you need to test. ActiveRecord ties your models to the database (convenient sometimes, but generally more dificcult to test).

What is a javascript hash table implementation that avoids object namespace collisions?

You might be "asking the wrong question" (as Raymond Chen would say); rather than trying to avoid using the vanilla objects, try changing the way the associative array members are named. The way I'd try to approach this: instead of there being an array member ns["reflect"], change the way that jsdiff builds the arrays ...

In my ReportViewer control, when I click on Print Layout, the background turns black on the report. This must be a bug. Is there a workaround?
Microsoft was already aware of this issue, its KB is located here. You can solve the problem by installing Cumulative Update 1 (build 3161), which can be requested for download through the following Microsoft page If you can wait a little while more I think the fix will come out with SQL Server 2005 SP3

PHP/JS - Create thumbnails on the fly or store as files
For an image hosting web application: For my stored images, is it feasible to create thumbnails on the fly using PHP (or whatever), or should I save 1 or more different sized thumbnails to disk and just load those? Any help is appreciated.
Save thumbnails to disk. Image processing takes a lot of resources and, depending on the size of the image, might exceed the default allowed memory limit for php. It is less of a concern if you have your own server with only your application running but it still takes a lot of cpu power and memory to resize images. If ...

I would also suggest breaking this up into 2 projects. Have 1 library project and 1 application for the tests and the testrunner.

How to think in data stores instead of databases?

There's two main things to get used to about the App Engine datastore when compared to 'traditional' relational databases: The datastore makes no distinction between inserts and updates. When you call put() on an entity, that entity gets stored to the datastore with its unique key, and anything that has that key gets o...

After a redirect you will loose any state information associated to your controls. If you simply want the page to refresh, remove the redirect. After the code has finished executing, the page will refresh and any state will be kept. Behind the scenes, this works because ASP.NET writes the state information to a hidden ...

Size is your enemy. If you are dealing with lots of data and large numbers of rows, then having the historical mixed in with the current will hammer you.

When I try: sudo gem install ibm_db I get the following request for clarification: Select which gem to install for your platform (i486-linux) 1. ibm_db 0.10.0 (ruby) 2. ibm_db 0.10.0 (mswin32) 3. ibm_db 0.9.5 (mswin32) 4. ibm_db 0.9.5 (ruby) 5. S...
You can use a 'here document'. That is: sudo gem install ibm_db < What's between the \<\<\SOMETHING and SOMETHING gets inputted as entry to the previous command (somewhat like ruby's own heredocuments). The 1 there alone, of course, is the selection of the "ibm_db 0.10.0 (ruby)" platform. Hope it's enough.

How do you implement a function which returns the URL of last visited page
I want to store the current URL in a session variable to reference the previous visited page. If I store every URL (via a before_filter on ApplicationController), also actions which end in a redirect (create, update, etc) are considered as last visited page. Is there a way to tell Rails only to execute a function if a ...
Not sure why @performed_redirect isn't working, you can see that it does exist and have the desired values by calling the actions on this test controller: class RedirController < ApplicationController after_filter:redir_raise def raise_true redirect_to:action =>:whatever end def raise_false render:text => 'foo' end ...

ResultSet not closed when connection closed?
I've been doing code review (mostly using tools like FindBugs) of one of our pet projects and FindBugs marked following code as erroneous (pseudocode): Connection conn = dataSource.getConnection(); try{ PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(); //initialize the statement stmt.execute(); ResultSet rs = stmt.get...
One problem with ONLY closing the connection and not the result set, is that if your connection management code is using connection pooling, the connection.close() would just put the connection back in the pool. Additionally, some database have a cursor resource on the server that will not be freed properly unless it i...

Specifying location of new inlineshape in Word VBA?
I'm working on a document "wizard" for the company that I work for. It's a.dot file with a header consisting of some text and some form fields, and a lot of VBA code. The body of the document is pulled in as an OLE object from a separate.doc file. Currently, this is being done as a Shape, rather than an InlineShape. I ...
InlineShape is treated as a letter. Hence, the same technique. ThisDocument.Range(15).InlineShapes.AddPicture "1.gif"

looking for a tuple matching algorithm
I need to implement an in-memory tuple-of-strings matching feature in C. There will be large list of tuples associated with different actions and a high volume of events to be matched against the list. List of tuples: ("one", "four") ("one") ("three") ("four", "five") ("six") event ("one", "two", "three", "four") shoul...
If you only have a small number of possible tuple values it would make sense to write some sort of hashing function which could turn them into integer indexes for quick searching. If there are < 32 values you could do something with bitmasks: unsigned int hash(char *value){...} typedef struct _tuple { unsigned int bit...
