blech. i managed to lose my gadgets consecutive days despite it still going on every other SE site. 2nd time too. What the heck am I doing differently on gadgets lol
Here are a few examples of classes that I find to be in the genre of OOP. Enjoy!
Form Class Example
Start with a Base Form Class that can output <input> fields. Very simple, has an array to hold the fields that are going to be outputted, have a method for adding fields, and has a functi...
What does worry me slightly is, if stackexchange.com and stackoverflow.com can read and write data stored by stackauth.com, what stops evilbadguys.com from doing the same?
Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is an open-standard communications protocol for message-oriented middleware based on Extensible Markup Language (XML). The protocol was originally named Jabber, and was developed by the Jabber open-source community in 1999 for, originally, near-real-time, extensible instant messaging (IM), presence information, and contact list maintenance. Designed to be extensible, the protocol today also finds application in Voice over Internet Protocol and file transfer signaling.
Unlike most instant messaging protocols, XMPP uses an open systems appr...
So you can access the chat using Adium / Pidgin / other IM client
This is a request for the SO chat system to have an XMPP interface.
The whole idea of a chat system is to bring people together, and a key way of doing that is to allow people to access the system using more than one method. Right now there's a web interface, but it's limited to being a web inte...
Hmm, let's see. Ah yes, I just opened up English.SE and it immediately came up with the notification bar logging me in and asking me to refresh. So, just the one extra click to refresh. Eh.
last night when it logged me out and didn't auto log me in, I tried refreshing the homepage several times before giving up and going to the login page. and then I tried refreshing that page several times before giving up and clicking my provider. With each refresh I waited several minutes.
@JoePhillips Do you have an account on Bicycles already? I just went onto Theoretical Computer Science where I don't have an account and it didn't log me in - as I would expect
Sometimes I need to style my lists like so:
Item #1
Sub-Item #1
Sub-Item #2
Item #2
Sub-item #3
For some reason it's impossible to add an extra line between Sub-item #2 and Item #2.
Look at this answer to see what I am talking about (after "syck," I used a dot to create a space)
Is ther...
There are times I think the extra line in there makes a list look nicer, and sometimes I find it fine without. I'm not sure if it is the content, the length of the content, the length of the list...or some other arbitrary reason.
OK, I have a SVN repo set up, a Trac site partially set up, and some code which connects to an XMPP server and does, well, absolutely nothing after that. I feel like I have accomplished something and deserve wings and beer!
If you're not typing, you're not working.
I believe zombie blank stares and coffee walks are essential to programmers organising things in their heads.
AUTOEXEC.BAT is a system file found originally on DOS-type operating systems. It is a plain-text batch file that is located in the root directory of the boot device. The name of the file stands for "automatic execution", which describes its function in automatically executing commands on system startup; the portmanteau was coined in response to the 8.3 filename limitations of the FAT file system family.
Usage
AUTOEXEC.BAT is read upon startup by all versions of DOS, including MS-DOS version 7.x as used in Windows 95 and Windows 98. Windows Me only parses environment variables as part of i...
nothing about Windows 7, but Vista seems to still know it
All platforms:
Vim
Chrome/Firefox
GCC
VMWare Server/VirtualBox
Windows:
GNUWin32 (Gives you, among other things, grep, *NIX find, sed, head, tail, cat and most of the other tools that you use to make life at the command-line bearable)
PowerShell
Normally, I wouldn't trigger a one-box for a comment like that, 'cause it turns a one-liner into a huge block - and that wasn't the point of the comment
There have been plenty of times where I'll just include the link in my comment so as to not take up the space of it being one-boxed...only to have someone onebox it lol
@rchern "not take up the space" -- that's like saying "I'll just call this variable i13 instead of ValidationFailCount because it takes up less space :)
