[What is the best way to handle multiple permission types?][1]
[1]: /questions/1451/what-is-the-best-way-to-handle-multiple-permission-types
It sounds like an innovative approach, so instead of a many-to-many relationship users\_to\_roles table, I have multiple permissions defined as a single decimal (int data type I presume). That means all permissions for a single user are in one column. It probably won't make sense until you read the other question and answer
I can't get my brain around this one. Can someone please explain the conversion process? It sounds "right", but I'm just not getting how I convert the roles to a decimal before it goes in the db, and how it gets converted back when it comes out of the db. I'm using Java, but if you stubbed it out, that would be cool as well.
Here is the original answer in the off chance the other question gets deleted:
"Personally, I sometimes use a flagged enumeration of permissions. This way you can use AND, OR, NOT and XOR bitwise operations on the enumeration's items.
[Flags]
public enum Permission
{
VIEWUSERS = 1, // 2^0 // 0000 0001
EDITUSERS = 2, // 2^1 // 0000 0010
VIEWPRODUCTS = 4, // 2^2 // 0000 0100
EDITPRODUCTS = 8, // 2^3 // 0000 1000
VIEWCLIENTS = 16, // 2^4 // 0001 0000
EDITCLIENTS = 32, // 2^5 // 0010 0000
DELETECLIENTS = 64, // 2^6 // 0100 0000
}
Then, you can combine several permissions using the AND bitwise operator.
For example, if a user can view & edit users, the binary result of the operation is 0000 0011 which converted to decimal is 3.
You can then store the permission of one user into a single column of your DataBase (in our case it would be 3).
Inside your application, you just need another bitwise operation (OR) to verify if a user has a particular permission or not."

If I go to "localhost", I get the page that says,
> If you can see this, it means that the installation of the Apache web server software on this system was successful. You may now add content to this directory and replace this page.
except, I can't add content and replace that page.
I can click on its links, and that works fine.
First of all, there's not even an "index.html" document in that directory. If I try to directly access one that I created with localhost/index.html, I get "the request URL was not found on the server." So, I'm not even sure where that page is coming from. I've searched for words in that page under the apache directory, and nothing turns up. It seems to redirect somewhere.
Just as a test, I KNOW that it loads localhost/manual/index.html (doesn't matter what that is) so I tried to replace that with something I've written, and I received the message
> The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
The error log says,

But, that page works fine if I open directly with a browser.
so, basically, I don't know what I don't know here. I'm not sure what apache is looking for. I'm not sure if the error is in my config file, my html page, or what.
Oh, and the reason I want to open this using apache is (mainly) because I'm trying to test some php, so I'm trying to get apache to run locally.

Are there pairs that work particularly well together (e.g. Prototype/Scriptaculous) or pairs that don't? | 0 |

**Adds a critical point to failure to the site**<br>
It is not a failure that can be fixed by the site even if detected. If the open-id provider is down for three days, what recourse does the site have to allow its users to login and access the information they own?
**Takes a user to another sites content and every time they logon to your site**<br>
Even if the open-id provider does not have an error, the user is re-directed to their site to login. The login page has content and links. So there is a chance a user will actually be drawn away from the site to go down the internet rabbit hole.
Why would I want to send my users to another company's website?
**Adds a non-trial amount of time to the signup**<br>
To sign up with the site a new user is forced to read a new standard, chose a provider, and signup. Standards are something that the technical people should agree to in order to make a user experience frictionless, they are not something that should be thrust on the users.
------
For all of the downside, the one upside is to allow users to have fewer logins on the net. If a site has opt-in for OpenId then users who want that feature can use it.
**What I would like to understand is:**

Such as a list of sponsors, current fundings status etc.
So my question was, where should I put these master-page database calling code?
Normally, these should goes into its own controller class right? But then that'd mean I'd have to wire them up manually (e.g. passing ViewDatas) since it is out of the normal routing framework provided by the MVC framework.
Is there a way to this cleanly without wiring ViewData passing/Action calls to master pages manually or subclassing the frameworks'?
The amount of documentation is very low... and I'm very new to all this including the concepts of MVC itself so please share your tips/techniques on this.

While this looks much better for most graphs -in my humble opinion- there is a small catch. The smoothing algorithm makes the line take a little 'dive' or 'bump' before going upwards or downwards.
In most cases, if the datapoint are themselves kinda smooth, this isn't a problem, but if you'r datapoints go from say 0 to 15, the 'dive' makes the line go under the x-axis, which makes it seems as though there are some datapoints below zero (which is not the case).

The PIML Idiom is a technique for implementation hiding in which a public class wraps a structure or class that cannot be seen outside the library the public class is part of.
This hides internal implementation details and data from the user of the library.
When implementing the this idiom why would you place the public methods on the pimpl class and not the public class since the public classes method implementaions would be compiled into the library and the user only has the header file?
To illustrate, this code puts the Purr() implementation on the impl class and wraps it as well, why not implement Purr directly on the public class?

I'm generating a form for editing the addresses and the names associated with them. It's using Ajax.BeginForm because this is a simplified example derived from a problem I'm having in a bigger app where the form updates a different part of the page using Ajax to get a result.
In the base form's cshtml:
@model Models.Person
@using (Ajax.BeginForm("Update", new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "Post" }))
{

The controller's method for the action:
public ActionResult Update(List<Person> people) { /* snip */ }
When I submit this form, a breakpoint placed immediately within Update() shows that "people" is a list of the right length but it contains absolutely no data--all the addresses are empty strings, even though the form data as appears in Request.Form looks correct.
What could be causing such a problem and what would be an idiomatic MVC way to solve this issue?
NOTE: This is a simplified example of some behavior I'm seeing in a more complex app. I think I've captured the essence of the issue here, but there may be some other unknown complicating factor. Let me know what could complicate this to cause the issue I'm seeing and I'll try to provide whatever additional details I can.
I've tried making Update take a PersonEditorModel parameter instead, but that gets absolutely no data at all.

And later in the page lifecycle of an ASPX page, i should be able to use that variable as

Many people have rules about how to write C++ code that (supposedly) make it harder to make mistakes. I've seen people _insist_ that every `if` statement is followed by a brace block (`{...}`).
I'm interested in what guidelines other people follow, and the reasons behind them. I'm also interested in guidelines that you think are rubbish, but are commonly held. Can anyone suggest a few?
To get the ball rolling, I'll mention a few to start with:
- Always use braces after every `if` / `else` statement (mentioned above). The rationale behind this is that it's not always easy to tell if a single statement is actually one statement, or a pre-processor macro that expands tomore than one statement, so this code would break:
<pre>
// top of file:
#define statement doSomething(); doSomethingElse
// in implementation:
if (somecondition)
doSomething();

but if you use braces then it will work as expected.
- Use preprocessor macros for conditional compilation ONLY. preprocessor macros can cause all sorts of hell, since they don't collow C++ scoping rules. I've run aground many times due to preprocessor macros with common names in header files. If you're not carefull you can cause all sorts of havock!
now over to you: | c++ | guidelines | null | null | null | null | open | Guidelines to improve your code
===
What guidelines do you follow to improve the general quality of your code? Many people have rules about how to write C++ code that (supposedly) make it harder to make mistakes. I've seen people _insist_ that every `if` statement is followed by a brace block (`{...}`).
I'm interested in what guidelines other people follow, and the reasons behind them. I'm also interested in guidelines that you think are rubbish, but are commonly held. Can anyone suggest a few?
To get the ball rolling, I'll mention a few to start with:
- Always use braces after every `if` / `else` statement (mentioned above). The rationale behind this is that it's not always easy to tell if a single statement is actually one statement, or a pre-processor macro that expands tomore than one statement, so this code would break:
<pre>
// top of file:
#define statement doSomething(); doSomethingElse
// in implementation:
if (somecondition)
doSomething();
</pre>
but if you use braces then it will work as expected.
- Use preprocessor macros for conditional compilation ONLY. preprocessor macros can cause all sorts of hell, since they don't collow C++ scoping rules. I've run aground many times due to preprocessor macros with common names in header files. If you're not carefull you can cause all sorts of havock!

This question is about how you use text editors in general. I’m looking for the best way to _delete_ a plurality of lines of code (no intent to patent it:) This extends to _transposing_ lines, i.e. deleting and adding them somewhere else. Most importantly, I don’t want to be creating any blank lines that I have to delete separately. Sort of like Visual Studio's SHIFT+DELETE feature, but working for multiple lines at once.
Say you want to delete line 3 from following code (tabs and newlines visualized as well). The naïve way would be to select the text between angle brackets:
<pre>
if (true) {\n
\t int i = 1;<font color="red">\n</font>
<font color="red">\t</font> <font color="magenta"><</font>i *= 2;<font color="magenta">></font><font color="blue">\n</font>
\t i += 3;\n
}\n
</pre>
Then hit backspace. This creates a blank line. Hit backspace twice more to delete <font color="red">\t</font> and <font color="red">\n</font>.
You end up with:
<pre>
if (true) {\n
\t int i = 1;<font color="blue">\n</font>
\t i += 3;\n
}\n
</pre>
Notice that <font color="blue">\n</font> has taken the place of <font color="red">\n</font>.
When you try to select a whole line, Visual Studio doesn't let you select the trailing newline character. For example, placing the cursor on a line and hitting SHIFT+END will not select the newline at the end. Neither will you select the newline if you use your mouse, i.e. clicking in the middle of a line and dragging the cursor all the way to the right. You only select the trailing newline characters if you make a selection that spans at least two lines. Most editors I use do it this way; Microsoft WordPad and Word are counter-examples (and I frequently get newlines wrong when deleting text there; at least Word has a way to display end-of-line and end-of-paragraph characters explicitly).
When using Visual Studio and other editors in general, here’s the solution that currently works best for me:
Using the mouse, I select the characters that I put between angle brackets:
<pre>
if (true) {\n
\t int i = 1;<font color="magenta"><</font><font color="red">\n</font>
<font color="red">\t</font> i *= 2;<font color="magenta">></font><font color="blue">\n</font>
\t i += 3;\n
}\n
</pre>
Hitting backspace now, you delete the line in one go without having to delete any other characters. This works for several contiguous lines at once. Additionally, it can be used for transposing lines. You could drag the selection between the angle brackets to the point marked with a caret:
<pre>
if (true) {\n
\t int i = 1;<font color="magenta"><</font><font color="red">\n</font>
<font color="red">\t</font> i *= 2;<font color="magenta">></font><font color="blue">\n</font>
\t i += 3;<font color="green">^</font>\n
}\n
</pre>
This leaves you with:
<pre>
if (true) {\n
\t int i = 1;<font color="blue">\n</font>
\t i += 3;<font color="magenta"><</font><font color="red">\n</font>
<font color="red">\t</font> i *= 2;<font color="magenta">></font>\n
}\n
</pre>
where lines 3 and 4 have switched place.
There are variations on this theme. When you want to delete line 3, you could also select the following characters:
<pre>
if (true) {\n
\t int i = 1;<font color="red">\n</font>
<font color="magenta"><</font><font color="red">\t</font> i *= 2;<font color="blue">\n</font>
<font color="magenta">></font>\t i += 3;\n
}\n
</pre>
In fact, this is what Visual Studio does if you tell it to select a complete line. You do this by clicking in the margin between your code and the column where the red circles go which indicate breakpoints. The mouse pointer is mirrored in that area to distinguish it a little better, but I think it's too narrow and physically too far removed from the code I want to select.
Maybe this method is useful to other people as well, even if it only serves to make them aware of how newlines are handled when selecting/deleting text:) It works nicely for most non-specialized text editors. However, given the vast amount of features and plugins for Visual Studio, I'm sure there is better way to delete and move lines of code. Getting the indentation right automatically when moving code between different blocks would be nice (i.e. without hitting "Format Document/Selection"). I'm looking forward to suggestions; no rants on micro-optimization, please:)

Are help files, user manuals, and context sensitive online help with F1 key dead? Have I failed if user could not find out what to do from the UI? If not, what degree of help should I provide? (both for desktop and web app)

Now I'm working on a page where you can add suggestions to a 'stop words' table, which means that if they occur in the table, they won't be suggested anymore.
I put a button inside the LI elements and when you click on it it should do an ajax request to a page which then adds the word to the table. That works. But then I want the suggestions to be refreshed instantly, so that the suggestions appear without the word just added to the table. Preferably the selected word is the word next or before the previously clicked word.
How do I do this? What happens instead now is that the LI you clicked the button of gets to be the selected word and the suggestions disappear.
The list items look like this:
<li>{0}
<img onclick=\"deleteWord('{0}');\" src=\"delete.gif\"/>
</li>
where {0} represents the suggested word. The javascript function deleteWord(w) gets to call the webhandler which can add the word to the 'stop words' table.

What am I doing wrong? | javascript | internationalization | character-encoding | null | null | null | open | international characters in Javascript
===
I am working on a web application, where I transfer data from the server to the browser in XML.
Since I'm danish, I quickly run into problems with the characters æøå.
I know that in html, I use the "æøå" for æøå.
however, as soon as the chars pass through javascript, I get black boxes with "?" in them when using æøå, and "æøå" is printed as is.
I've made sure to set it to utf-8, but that isn't helping much.
Ideally, I want it to work with any special characters (naturally).
The example that isn't working is included below:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
alert("æøå");
alert("æøå");
</script>

Our suspicion is these allocations are failing due to memory fragmentation.
Therefore, we've been looking at some alternative memory allocation mechanisms that may help us and I'm hoping someone can tell me the best one:
1) Use Windows [Low-fragmentation Heap][1]
2) jemalloc - as used in [Firefox 3][2]
3) Doug Lea's [malloc][3]
Our server process is developed using cross-platform C++ code, so any solution would be ideally cross-platform also (do *nix operating systems suffer from this type of memory fragmentation?).
Also, am I right in thinking that LFH is now the default memory allocation mechanism for Windows Server 2008 / Vista?... Will my current problems "go away" if our customers simply upgrade their server os?
