What't the best solution for creating subsets of a set of characters?
I know 'best' is subjective, so according to you, what is the best solution for the following problem: Given a string of length n (say "abc"), generate all proper subsets of the string. So, for our example, the output would be {}, {a}, {b}, {c}, {ab}, {bc}, {ac}. {abc}. What do you think?

Dynamic robots.txt
Let's say I have a web site for hosting community generated content that targets a very specific set of users. Now, let's say in the interest of fostering a better community I have an off-topic area where community members can post or talk about anything they want, regardless of the site's main theme. Now, I _want_...

Can you recommend good UML tutorials ?
I know I could search for this on the internet but the signal to noise ratio is too low. Have you found or know about any good tutorials on UML? I would really like to find something that explains UML modeling from a practical point of view. Also a complete application example would be very helpful. Thanks.

Is it unsafe to allow users to embed any flash file (swf)?
I want to allow my users to embed their own Flash animations in their posts. Usually the actual file is hosted on some free image hosting site. I wouldn't actually load the flash unless the user clicked a button to play (so that nothing auto-plays on page load). I know people can make some really annoying crap in fl...

Why is branching and merging easier in Mercurial than in Subversion?
Handling multiple merges onto branches in Subversion or CVS is just one of those things that has to be experienced. It is inordinately easier to keep track of branches and merges in Mercurial (and probably any other distributed system) but I don't know why. Does anyone else know?

Propagation of Oracle Transactions Between C++ and Java
We have an existing C++ application that we are going to gradually replace with a new Java-based system. Until we have completely reimplemented everything in Java we expect the C++ and Java to have to communicate with each other (RMI, SOAP, messaging, etc - we haven't decided). Now my manager thinks we'll need the ...
