@IvoFlipse Have had access to the tools for 10k, so I know their ropes. Still have to get to learn the ropes of the mod tools. But if I'm not sure, I won't hit it and instead ask it first.
There's an iffy tag on a couple dozen questions. Another tag is close in meaning to it. Both suck though. How do you handle the tags and/or the questions? Merge? Delete? Close? Ask Meta.SU?
@studiohack, but when it comes out of your mouth, there's clear 'evidence' that you already know how to use the tools (the same applies to several other candidates as well)

It's like SQL Server - where "it depends" is the standard answer - what we're anticipating is people with the right skills to assess a situation on its merits, talk to others to discuss, and act on the consensus
sometimes we have to act on our own instrincts, without community interaction (for what, I don't know necessarily), but then that's where being responsible for your actions comes in
A diamond will be attached to everything you say, including questions, answers and comments. Everything you will do will be seen under a different light. How do you feel about that? (-- badp )
Boss asks coworker "if your HD was lost today and the hosting server exploded, where's your working bit of code? would you be totally screwed?" coworker "no, it's mostly all checked into kiln" boss: "ok good, I hadn't been checking" (side-note: coworker is only PHP dev in org atm, besides that the boss and I read PHP fairly well) coworker: "except none of the images are in kiln" me: /facepalm
(basically, the only days I'm not on SU at all are days when I literally have no internet access, like when I'm on vacation camping in the middle of nowhere. and then I think to myself, "dang, now I don't get that fanatic badge!")
Ask Javascript gurus for advice: "I know the best way to learn a new programming language is to get hands-on practice. What sort of programs should I get started with to learn Javascript?" (Type your question, or 'help') aardvark-g204@vark.com
I wish I got that one question
you totally know what the correct answer is, and so do I
Alright, that brings us to the top of the hour, so let's let the candidates finish up answering, and then we can get a quick final thought from each candidate.
An advisable way to handle modal view controllers is to us notifications to inform the class that presented it to release it. Generally, you use code similar to this to show a modal view.
SomeClass *yourViewController = [[SomeClass alloc] initWithNibName:@"SomeClass" bundle:nil];
[self presentMo...
Yeah, I think he was reading code related to templating and was curious if he needed to consider using it for his code as well, as I understand what's the convo so far
I have read quite a bit of material on Internet where different authors suggest using output buffering. The funny thing is that most authors argument for its use only because it allows for mixing response headers with actual content. Frankly, I think that responsible web applications should not m...
Sometimes, you could flush the output buffer... start a new buffer, execute some shell commands, get the buffer, process the output, and then discard the buffer before continuing.
The "marquee" tag was removed from the standard because it's a "visual" tag, not a "semantic" tag. As such, none of the languages that you want have an exact equivalent.
I suggest using Javascript to do animations on your webpage. (I hear that jQuery is a great framework to get started with.)
somedays I just wish I could rebuild my code from scratch doing what is right instead of fixing old busted code that sadly doesn't have any inherent knowledge (which is usually the reason to avoid a full rewrite)
I'm trying to write the jQuery for that guy, it should be simple.
To do jQuery marquee animation that loops, you will want to use something like this:
function animateMarquee(){
$('marquee').animate(
//animate, then call this function again to loop
);
}
I have no problem with it, I'm not interested in doing marquees on ASP.NET in jQuery, but if I was, I would've turned to the plugins.jquery.com link initially ;)
I have a div, and I would create a background for it in the in the following manner. The top half must be a solid colour, and the bottom half a semi transparent colour?
How do I go about creating this? making it work in all the major browsers? without splitting up the div into two separate ones....
@Moshe assuming you mean IE6 included for cross-browser support you can't. Unless you do amazing things with image manipulation on the backend AND figure out how to get IE6 to always support transparency
