I'm working on a project which we need to process millions of items from a queue per day. My challenge is that the queue is not a FIFO, meaning that new items are prioritized and can be inserted somewhere in the middle of the queue. Also, to process these items we'll be using a parallel server distribution platform so the queue needs to accessible from many servers.
Thanks!

Also, I have the < and > buttons to move the current selection from one list to the other (in addition to double clicking, which works fine).
Is it possible in WPF to set up a style/trigger to enable or disable the move buttons depending on anything being selected in either ListBox? SelectedItems is on the left side, so the < button will move the selected AvailableItems to that list. However, if no items are selected (AvailableItems.SelectedIndex == -1), I want this button to be disabled (IsEnabled == false) - and the other way around for the other list/button.
Is this possible to do directly in XAML, or do I need to create complex logic in the codebehind to handle it?
Thanks for any insight!

I'm using a `URLLoader` to load a XML file, and upon `Event.COMPLETE` creating a new XML object. 75% of the time this work fine, and every now and again I get this type of exception:
TypeError: Error #1085: The element type "link" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</link>".
We think the problem is that The XML is large, and perhaps the `Event.COMPLETE` event is fired before the XML is actually downloaded from the `URLLoader`. The only solution we have come up with is to set off a timer upon the Event, and essentially "wait a few seconds" before beginning to parse the data. Surely this can't be the best way to do this.
Is there any surefire way to parse XML within Flash? | xml | actionscript-3 | flash | rss | fileparse | null | open | Best Practices for AS3 XML Parsing

What are good ways to set up a reasonably efficient environment for web development. I am using Subversion, and have two servers, a live one, and a dev site that is pretty much a mirror for the code. Up to now, I have been coding directly on the dev site, but I'm now thinking I should pull back and just use it for testing, with each developer having his own version of the site.
This does mean having to set up local versions of the database etc. for each user though, and has complications of their own.
Does anyone know of a good way to manage this? Perhaps setting up virtual machines and just cloning them to each person, using VMWare perhaps?
One slight problem is that some of the code depends on the URL (specifically the subdomain), which means you couldn't just run things on localhost (at least without changing the code I guess, which is a possibility).
In any case, I am quite sure issues like this have cropped up again and again, so I would be very interested to learn how other people deal with these issues.
I should probably mention that most of the code I write for the web is PHP, though with some Javascript as well. One big benefit of switching to local machines is that I could use a proper debugging environment for PHP, as I am starting to get very frustrated with just echoing data structures to the browser as a way to fix issues.

Yesterday I was informed that the first line of text on my website appeared upside down in Internet Explorer 6 without flash player. I'm pretty sure that assessment was wrong, owing to no flash player = no sIFR. But I'm getting some odd behavior on my pages, at least in IE 6, 7 and 8. I only really wanted to use sIFR because my fonts looked crummy on my computer in Firefox.
My question is: if you use sIFR, when do you use sIFR? In which cases do you disable sIFR? When is it better to just use the browser font?

I thought I'd try to accomplish it using javascript and not CSS in an effort to keep the requests for image files to a minimum (yes, I know that it's possible to combine all required rounded corner shapes into one image) and I also wanted to be able to change the background color pretty much on the fly.
I already utilize jQuery so I looked at the excellent [rounded corners plugin][1] and it worked like a charm in every browser I tried. Being a developer however I noticed the opportunity to make it a bit more efficient. The script already includes code for detecting if the current browser supports webkit rounded corners (safari based browsers). If so it uses raw CSS instead of creating layers of divs.
I thought that it would be awesome if the same kind of check could be performed to see if the browser supports the Gecko-specific -moz-border-radius-* properties and if so utilize them.
The check for webkit support looks like this:
var webkitAvailable = false;
try {
webkitAvailable = (document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(this[0], null)['-webkit-border-radius'] != undefined);
}
catch(err) {}
That, however, did not work for -moz-border-radius so I started checking for alternatives.
My fallback solution is of course to use browser detection but that's far from recommended practice ofcourse.
My best solution yet is as follows.
var mozborderAvailable = false;
try {
var o = jQuery('<div>').css('-moz-border-radius', '1px');
mozborderAvailable = $(o).css('-moz-border-radius-topleft') == '1px';
o = null;
} catch(err) {}
Is there any javascript/CSS guru out there that have a better solution?

- [TCPView][4] - GUI for netstat, for debugging simple network issues. Also lets you close net connections, which can be helpful for testing network error handling in my apps.
- [Wireshark][5] - packet tracer, for debugging network issues
- [cygwin][6] - For a good commandline experience in windows.

That code, in an of itself, works OK, but the other server returns a response from it's XML parser stating:

I looked that error up and this is normally caused by whitespace before the XML, but I made sure that the XML file itself has no whitespace and the trim() should clear that up anyway. I did a TCPDump on the connection while I ran the code and this is what is sent out:

Is this what is causing the problem and, if so, how can I remove it, or am I looking too far and this may be an issue with the server I'm posting against? | php | curl | xml | null | null | null | open | cURL adding whitespace to post content?
===
I am attempting to POST against a vendor's server using PHP 5.2 with cURL. I'm reading in an XML document to post against their server and then reading in a response:
$file = 'test.xml';
$fileHandle = fopen($file, 'r');
$request = fread($fileHandle, filesize($file));
fclose($fileHandle);
$request = trim($request);
$curlHandle = curl_init($servletURL);
curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('XML'=>$request));
curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_HEADER, FALSE); # Have also tried leaving this out
$response = curl_exec($curlHandle);
That code, in an of itself, works OK, but the other server returns a response from it's XML parser stating:
> Content not allowed in prolog
I looked that error up and this is normally caused by whitespace before the XML, but I made sure that the XML file itself has no whitespace and the trim() should clear that up anyway. I did a TCPDump on the connection while I ran the code and this is what is sent out:
POST {serverURL} HTTP/1.1
Host: {ip of server}:8080

I have three basic tables: Card, Property, and CardProperty. Since cards do not have the same properties, and often multiple values for the same property, I decided to use the union table approach to store data instead of having a really big column structure in my card table.
The property table is a basic keyword/value type table. So you have the keyword ATK and the value assigned to it. There is another property called SpecialType which a card can have multiple values for, such as "Sycnro" and "DARK"
What I'd like to do is create a view or stored procedure that gives me the Card Id, Card Name, and all the property keywords assigned to the card as columns and their values in the ResultSet for a card specified. So ideally I'd have a result set like:
ID NAME SPECIALTYPE
1 Red Dragon Archfiend Synchro
1 Red Dragon Archfiend DARK
1 Red Dragon Archfiend Effect
and I could tally my results that way.
I guess even slicker would be to simply concatenate the properties together based on their keyword, so I could generate a ResultSet like:
1 Red Dragon Archfiend Synchro/DARK/Effect
..but I don't know if that's feasible.

But when they made the "return" versus "enter" error, they blamed themselves. After all, they had been told what to do. They had simply erred.
A common response to many technical problems (though not so common on SOFlow, thankfully), is to simply say, "[RTFM][2]" (warning: explicit). I'm sure there are cases when this really is the best response.
But take a problem like `printf`, where there is mass confusion. (See [this question][3]; in particular [this response][4] and [my counter][5].)

* The *correct* interpretation, however, is that the *width* is 10 (including decimal) and there are two digits after.
Clearly we can't redesign all of `printf` now -- too much would break. But in the next version -- let's call it `aprintf`, can't we make the usage match the expectation?
I think there is a danger in saying, "it's the user's fault for not reading the spec," when the spec is poorly designed.
*Nota bene*: I'm *not* saying that the design of `printf` is the wrong one; maybe there are *really good reasons* why it *must* be that way. But users can't be expected to foresee those reasons, so the design is counterintuitive.
In summary: blaming the user gets us designers and programmers off the hook, but it doesn't make anyone's life easier in the long run.

Following on from [Teifion][1]'s recent post "[Easiest language to start with][2]", I interested in the community's thoughts on what is generally considered the **hardest** programming language to learn. Something of an elitist's dream to be able to mention at geek cocktail parties.
I'm not just talking about ones with the strangest syntax, but also the ones that have the most bizarre overall concepts! Are there any really scary ones out there?

Whilst I appreciate PRINCE2 is a great method of running projects, and, we've had a lot of success with it, I feel it's fairly high level for the nitty-gritty of building software.
Is it unheard of to run an AGILE method such as SCRUM for the day to day building and deployment of code underneath, or, within the framework of PRINCE2?
Obviously we have a number of qualified, experienced PRINCE2 practitioners in the business so I'd never suggest replacing PRINCE2 with SCRUM, but I can still see the benefits of SCRUM.
Anyone any thoughts, in practice do the two contradict or complicate one another, does anyone have any personal success stories. What about other methodologies? Can we let PRINCE2 take care of the high-level stuff and then run another method for the nuts and bolts of developing?
Thanks

So is there really no way to do this with form Size?

_This is a follow-up to my question ["Best way to bind Windows Forms properties to ApplicationSettings in C#?"](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18421/best-way-to-bind-windows-forms-properties-to-applicationsettings-in-c)_
As Tundey pointed out in his answer to my last question, you can bind nearly everything about a windows forms control to ApplicationSettings pretty effortlessly. So is there really no way to do this with form Size? [This tutorial](http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/UserSettings.aspx) says you need to handle Size explicitly so you can save RestoreBounds instead of size if the window is maximized or minimized. However, I hoped I could just use a property like:
public Size RestoreSize
{
get
{
if (WindowState == FormWindowState.Normal)
{
return Size;
}
else
{
return RestoreBounds.Size;
}
}
set
{
...
}

I am not convinced that entity objects should exist.
By entity objects I mean the typical things we tend to build for our applications, like "Person", "Account", "Order", etc.
My current design philosophy is this:
- All database access must be accomplished via stored procedures.
- Whenever you need data, call a stored procedure and iterate over a SqlDataReader or the rows in a DataTable
(Note: I have also built enterprise applications with J2EE, java folks please substitute the equvalent for my .NET examples)
I am not anti-OO. I write lots of classes for different purposes, just not entities. I will admit that a large portion of the classes I write are static helper classes.
I am not building toys. I'm talking about large, high volume transactional applications deployed across multiple machines. Web applications, windows services, web services, b2b interaction, you name it.
I have used OR Mappers. I have written a few. I have used the J2EE stack, CSLA, and a few other equivalents. I have not only used them but actively developed and maintained these applications in production environments.
I have come to the battle-tested conclusion that entity objects are getting in our way, and our lives would be *so* much easier without them.
Consider this simple example: you get a support call about a certain page in your application that is not working correctly, maybe one of the fields is not being persisted like it should be. With my model, the developer assigned to find the problem opens *exactly 3 files*. An ASPX, an ASPX.CS and a SQL file with the stored procedure. The problem, which might be a missing parameter to the stored procedure call, takes minutes to solve. But with any entity model, you will invariably fire up the debugger, start stepping through code, and you may end up with 15-20 files open in Visual Studio. By the time you step down to the bottom of the stack, you forgot where you started. We can only keep so many things in our heads at one time. Software is incredibly complex without adding any unnecessary layers.
Development complexity and troubleshooting are just one side of my gripe.
Now let's talk about scalability.
Do developers realize that each and every time they write or modify any code that interacts with the database, they need to do a throrough analysis of the exact impact on the database? And not just the development copy, I mean a mimic of production, so you can see that the additional column you now require for your object just invalidated the current query plan and a report that was running in 1 second will now take 2 minutes, just because you added a single column to the select list? And it turns out that the index you now require is so big that the DBA is going to have to modify the physical layout of your files?
If you let people get too far away from the physical data store with an abstraction, they will create havoc with an application that needs to scale.
I am not a zealot. I can be convinced if I am wrong, and maybe I am, since there is such a strong push towards Linq to Sql, ADO.NET EF, Hibernate, J2EE, etc. Please think through your responses, if I am missing something I really want to know what it is, and why I should change my thinking. | sql | database | orm | entities | null | null | open | Why do we need entity objects?

markdown-batch ./*.markdown
Any ideas? | bash | markdown | null | null | null | null | open | Are there any tools to convert Markdown documents to HTML en masse?

I'm writing some documentation in Markdown, and creating a separate file for each section of the doc. I would like to be able to convert all the files to HTML in one go, but I can't find anyone else who has tried the same thing.

As the app evolves you would be making the same changes to both.
However, there are usually subtle differences. For instance, a field might be read-only once it's been added, and if that field is a DropDownList you no longer need that List in the ViewData.
So, should I create a view data class which contains all the information for both views, where, depending on the operation you're performing, certain properties will be null?
Should I include the operation in the view data as an enum?
Should I surround all the subtle differences with *<% if( ViewData.Model.Op == Ops.Editing ) { %>* ?
