7 | 2 | null | 4 | 522 | null | An explicit cast to `double` like this isn't necessary:
```
double trans = (double) trackBar1.Value / 5000.0;

Identifying the constant as `5000.0` (or as `5000d`) is sufficient:

double trans = trackBar1.Value / 5000d;

IMHO yours seems a little long. However it does seem a little more robust with support for "yesterday" and "years". But in my experience when this is used, the person is most likely to view the content in the first 30 days. It is only the really hardcore people that come after that. So, I usually elect to keep this short and simple.
This is the method I am currently using in one of my websites. This returns only a relative day, hour and time. And then the user has to slap on "ago" in the output.
```
public static string ToLongString(this TimeSpan time)
{
string output = String.Empty;
if (time.Days > 0)
output += time.Days + " days ";
if ((time.Days == 0 || time.Days == 1) && time.Hours > 0)
output += time.Hours + " hr ";
if (time.Days == 0 && time.Minutes > 0)
output += time.Minutes + " min ";
if (output.Length == 0)
output += time.Seconds + " sec";
return output.Trim();
}

25 | 1 | 1,443,907 | null | 175 | 15,845 | I'm having issues getting the C sockets API to work properly in C++ on z/OS.
Although I am including `sys/socket.h`, I still get compile time errors telling me that `AF_INET` is not defined.
Am I missing something obvious, or is this related to the fact that being on z/OS makes my problems much more complicated?
I discovered that there is an `#ifdef` that I'm hitting. Apparently z/OS isn't happy unless I define which "type" of sockets I'm using with:
```
#define _OE_SOCKETS
```
Now, I personally have no idea what this `_OE_SOCKETS` is actually for, so if any z/OS sockets programmers are out there (all 3 of you), perhaps you could give me a rundown of how this all works?
Test App
```
#include <sys/socket.h>
int main()
{
return AF_INET;
}
```
Compile/Link Output:
```
cxx -Wc,xplink -Wl,xplink -o inet_test inet.C
"./inet.C", line 5.16: CCN5274 (S) The name lookup for "AF_INET" did not find a declaration.
CCN0797(I) Compilation failed for file ./inet.C. Object file not created.
```
A check of sys/sockets.h does include the definition I need, and as far as I can tell, it is not being blocked by any `#ifdef` statements.
I have however noticed it contains the following:
```
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
```
which encapsulates basically the whole file? Not sure if it matters.

33 | 2 | null | 14 | 559 | null | `Math.Floor` rounds down, `Math.Ceiling` rounds up, and `Math.Truncate` rounds towards zero. Thus, `Math.Truncate` is like `Math.Floor` for positive numbers, and like `Math.Ceiling` for negative numbers. Here's the [reference](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.math.truncate).
For completeness, `Math.Round` rounds to the nearest integer. If the number is exactly midway between two integers, then it rounds towards the even one. [Reference.](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.math.round)

I have chosen a threaded timer as the other types can drift if the main thread is busy, and I need this to be reliable.
The way this timer works in the control of the timer is put on another thread so it can always tick along with the work begin completed on the parent thread when it is not busy.
The issue with this timer in a console application is that while the timer is ticking along on another thread the main thread is not doing anything to the application closes.
I tried adding a `while true` loop, but then the main thread is too busy when the timer does go off.

Our customer base is in the thousands, so I don't want to have to put in requirements that we modify the third-party vendor's table at every installation.
By I mean changes to table data, not changes to table structure.
Ultimately, I would like the change to trigger an event in my application, instead of having to check for changes at an interval.
---
The best course of action given my requirements (no triggers or schema modification, SQL Server 2000 and 2005) seems to be to use the `BINARY_CHECKSUM` function in [T-SQL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transact-SQL). The way I plan to implement is this:
Every X seconds run the following query:
```
SELECT CHECKSUM_AGG(BINARY_CHECKSUM(*))
FROM sample_table
WITH (NOLOCK);
```
And compare that against the stored value. If the value has changed, go through the table row by row using the query:
```
SELECT row_id, BINARY_CHECKSUM(*)
FROM sample_table
WITH (NOLOCK);
```
And compare the returned checksums against stored values.

AS3 uses a non-deterministic garbage collection which means that dereferenced memory will be freed up whenever the runtime feels like it (typically not unless there's a reason to run, since it's an expensive operation to execute). This is the same approach used by most modern garbage collecting languages (like C# and Java as well).
Assuming there are no other references to the memory pointed to by `byteArray` or the items within the array itself, the memory will be freed at some point after you exit the scope where `byteArray` is declared.
You can force a garbage collection, though you really shouldn't. If you do, do it only for testing. If you do it in production, you'll hurt performance much more than help it.
To force a GC, try (yes, twice):
```
flash.system.System.gc();
flash.system.System.gc();
```

Try looking at WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and other well-known PHP-based CMS to see how their API hooks look and feel. This way you can even get ideas you may have not thought of previously to make things a little more robust.
A more direct answer would be to write general files that they would "include_once" into their file that would provide the usability they would need. This would be broken up into categories and NOT provided in one MASSIVE "hooks.php" file. Be careful though, because what ends up happening is that files that they include end up having more and more dependencies and functionality improves. Try to keep API dependencies low. I.E fewer files for them to include.

73 | 2 | null | 25 | 24 | null | @Jax: The `extern "C"` thing matters, very very much. If a header file doesn't have one, then (unless it's a C++-only header file), you would have to enclose your `#include` with it:
```
extern "C" {
#include <sys/socket.h>
// include other similarly non-compliant header files
}
```
Basically, anytime where a C++ program wants to link to C-based facilities, the `extern "C"` is vital. In practical terms, it means that the names used in external references will not be mangled, like normal C++ names would. [Reference.](http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/mixing-c-and-cpp.html)

71 | 2 | null | 19 | 80 | null | Here's a general description of a technique for calculating pi that I learnt in high school.
I only share this because I think it is simple enough that anyone can remember it, indefinitely, plus it teaches you the concept of "Monte-Carlo" methods -- which are statistical methods of arriving at answers that don't immediately appear to be deducible through random processes.
Draw a square, and inscribe a quadrant (one quarter of a semi-circle) inside that square (a quadrant with radius equal to the side of the square, so it fills as much of the square as possible)
Now throw a dart at the square, and record where it lands -- that is, choose a random point anywhere inside the square. Of course, it landed inside the square, but is it inside the semi-circle? Record this fact.
Repeat this process many times -- and you will find there is a ratio of the number of points inside the semi-circle versus the total number thrown, call this ratio x.
Since the area of the square is r times r, you can deduce that the area of the semi circle is x times r times r (that is, x times r squared). Hence x times 4 will give you pi.
This is not a quick method to use. But it's a nice example of a Monte Carlo method. And if you look around, you may find that many problems otherwise outside your computational skills can be solved by such methods.

For this example source code, you must declare all your plugins before the actual source code that you want to be extendable. I've included an example of how to handle single or multiple values being passed to the plugin. The hardest part of this is writing the actual documentation which lists what arguments get passed to each hook.
This is just one method of accomplishing a plugin system in PHP. There are better alternatives, I suggest you check out the WordPress Documentation for more information.

No errors are generated, however only `tRole` exists. It seems that it only looks at the first query (up to the semicolon- if I remove it, the query fails). Is there a way to call multiple queries in one statement?

98 | 2 | null | 88 | 63 | null | Maybe. But you have bigger problems. `gettimeofday()` can result in incorrect timings if there are processes on your system that change the timer (ie, ntpd). On a "normal" linux, though, I believe the resolution of `gettimeofday()` is 10us. It can jump forward and backward and time, consequently, based on the processes running on your system. This effectively makes the answer to your question no.
You should look into `clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC)` for timing intervals. It suffers from several less issues due to things like multi-core systems and external clock settings.
Also, look into the `clock_getres()` function.

88 | 1 | 98 | null | 106 | 44,472 | I am porting a game, that was originally written for the Win32 API, to Linux (well, porting the OS X port of the Win32 port to Linux).
I have implemented `QueryPerformanceCounter` by giving the uSeconds since the process start up:
```
BOOL QueryPerformanceCounter(LARGE_INTEGER* performanceCount)
{
gettimeofday(¤tTimeVal, NULL);
performanceCount->QuadPart = (currentTimeVal.tv_sec - startTimeVal.tv_sec);
performanceCount->QuadPart *= (1000 * 1000);
performanceCount->QuadPart += (currentTimeVal.tv_usec - startTimeVal.tv_usec);
return true;
}
```
This, coupled with `QueryPerformanceFrequency()` giving a constant 1000000 as the frequency, works well , giving me a 64-bit variable that contains `uSeconds` since the program's start-up.
So I don't want to discover it works differently if the kernel was compiled in a certain way or anything like that. I am fine with it being non-portable to something other than Linux, however.

You could profile your application to see its memory use, and determine that if its managing a lot of memory when it should not be you could say it has a leak.

Unmanaged code is its own beast and if a leak exists within it, it will follow a standard mem. leak definition.

It seems very feature-complete and nicely integrated into the Windows shell, and more importantly, it's fairly painless to teach to colleagues with little or no experience with source control. , since we have moved to Windows Vista 64bit, Tortoise has been very buggy and has seemed to cause lots of explorer.exe abnormalities and crashes. This has happened both with older versions of the software and the latest version (1.5.1 build 13563).
I was curious if anyone has suggestions for other Subversion clients that will run on Windows (specifically Vista 64bit). Developers here use a variety of text editors so using Visual Studio or Dreamweaver for SVN is not ideal.
I have heard great things about [Cornerstone](http://www.zennaware.com/cornerstone/), and would love something similar for Windows if it exists.
---
I'm correlating the Vista/explorer problems with Tortoise because they normally occur when I'm using the functionality in Tortoise. Sometimes bringing up the "merge" screen will cause the GUI to start acting very strange and eventually hang or crash.
I did not see 1.5.2 -- I'm installing now, maybe that will fix some of my issues.

My explorer does, however, crash about every other day (sometimes multiple times a day if it's having an "off" day). I'm not positive it's being caused by TortoiseSVN though. From what I hear, the explorer just crashes a lot in Vista...
Have you tried uninstalling Tortoise and using Windows for a day or two and seeing if it still crashes? Do you restart your computer at least once a day (It seems the longer I go between restarts, the worse the crashes get)?

19 | 1 | 531 | null | 351 | 67,439 | I'm looking for the fastest way to obtain the value of π, as a personal challenge. More specifically, I'm using ways that don't involve using `#define` constants like `M_PI`, or hard-coding the number in.
The program below tests the various ways I know of. The inline assembly version is, in theory, the fastest option, though clearly not portable. I've included it as a baseline to compare against the other versions. In my tests, with built-ins, the `4 * atan(1)` version is fastest on GCC 4.2, because it auto-folds the `atan(1)` into a constant. With `-fno-builtin` specified, the `atan2(0, -1)` version is fastest.
Here's the main testing program (`pitimes.c`):
```
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#define ITERS 10000000
#define TESTWITH(x) { \
diff = 0.0; \
time1 = clock(); \
for (i = 0; i < ITERS; ++i) \
diff += (x) - M_PI; \
time2 = clock(); \
printf("%s\t=> %e, time => %f\n", #x, diff, diffclock(time2, time1)); \
}
static inline double
diffclock(clock_t time1, clock_t time0)
{
return (double) (time1 - time0) / CLOCKS_PER_SEC;
}
int
main()
{
int i;
clock_t time1, time2;
double diff;
/* Warmup. The atan2 case catches GCC's atan folding (which would
* optimise the ``4 * atan(1) - M_PI'' to a no-op), if -fno-builtin
* is not used. */
TESTWITH(4 * atan(1))
TESTWITH(4 * atan2(1, 1))
#if defined(__GNUC__) && (defined(__i386__) || defined(__amd64__))
extern double fldpi();
TESTWITH(fldpi())
#endif
/* Actual tests start here. */
TESTWITH(atan2(0, -1))
TESTWITH(acos(-1))
TESTWITH(2 * asin(1))
TESTWITH(4 * atan2(1, 1))
TESTWITH(4 * atan(1))
return 0;
}
```
And the inline assembly stuff (`fldpi.c`) that will only work for x86 and x64 systems:
```
double
fldpi()
{
double pi;
asm("fldpi" : "=t" (pi));
return pi;
}
```
And a build script that builds all the configurations I'm testing (`build.sh`):
```
#!/bin/sh
gcc -O3 -Wall -c -m32 -o fldpi-32.o fldpi.c
gcc -O3 -Wall -c -m64 -o fldpi-64.o fldpi.c
gcc -O3 -Wall -ffast-math -m32 -o pitimes1-32 pitimes.c fldpi-32.o
gcc -O3 -Wall -m32 -o pitimes2-32 pitimes.c fldpi-32.o -lm
gcc -O3 -Wall -fno-builtin -m32 -o pitimes3-32 pitimes.c fldpi-32.o -lm
gcc -O3 -Wall -ffast-math -m64 -o pitimes1-64 pitimes.c fldpi-64.o -lm

gcc -O3 -Wall -fno-builtin -m64 -o pitimes3-64 pitimes.c fldpi-64.o -lm
```
Apart from testing between various compiler flags (I've compared 32-bit against 64-bit too because the optimizations are different), I've also tried switching the order of the tests around. But still, the `atan2(0, -1)` version still comes out on top every time.

127 | 2 | null | 126 | 65 | null | This has religious war potential, but it seems to me that if you're using a getter/setter, you should use it internally as well - using both will lead to maintenance problems down the road (e.g. somebody adds code to a setter that to run every time that property is set, and the property is being set internally w/o that setter being called).

128 | 2 | null | 126 | 20 | null | It depends on how the property is used. For example, say you have a student object that has a name property.

Now let's say you have a private integer counter in your object that counts the number of times the name has been called. You may want to not use the Get method from inside the object because it would produce an invalid count.

I've been given a database with nearly 300 tables in it and I need to turn this into a MySQL database.

What would be better is if there was some tool that could connect to both SQL Server and MySQL, then do a copy. You lose views, stored procedures, trigger, etc, but it isn't hard to copy a table that only uses base types from one DB to another... is it?
Does anybody know of such a tool? I don't mind how many assumptions it makes or what simplifications occur, as long as it supports integer, float, datetime and string. I have to do a lot of pruning, normalising, etc. anyway so I don't care about keeping keys, relationships or anything like that, but I need the initial set of data in fast!

Encoding.Unicode.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(txtURLText.Text));
```
What is the proper way to translate this encoding without using SQL Server? Is it possible? I'll take VB.NET code since I'm familiar with that too.
---
Okay, I'm sure I'm missing something here, so here's where I'm at.
Since my input is a basic string, I started with just a snippet of the encoded portion - 4445434C41 (which translates to DECLA) - and the first attempt was to do this...
```
txtDecodedText.Text = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(txtURL.Text));
```
...and all it did was return the exact same thing that I put in since it converted each character into is a byte.
I realized that I need to parse every two characters into a byte manually since I don't know of any methods yet that will do that, so now my little decoder looks something like this:
```
while (!boolIsDone)
{
bytURLChar = byte.Parse(txtURLText.Text.Substring(intParseIndex, 2));
bytURL[intURLIndex] = bytURLChar;
intParseIndex += 2;
intURLIndex++;
if (txtURLText.Text.Length - intParseIndex < 2)
{
boolIsDone = true;
}
}
txtDecodedText.Text = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytURL);
```
Things look good for the first couple of pairs, but then the loop balks when it gets to the "4C" pair and says that the string is in the incorrect format.
Interestingly enough, when I step through the debugger and to the GetString method on the byte array that I was able to parse up to that point, I get ",-+" as the result.
How do I figure out what I'm missing - do I need to do a "direct cast" for each byte instead of attempting to parse it?

Perhaps ;)
Another approach would be to utilize a private/protected method to actually do the getting (caching/db/etc), and a public wrapper for it that increments the count:
PHP:
```
public function getName() {
$this->incrementNameCalled();
return $this->_getName();
}
protected function _getName() {
return $this->name;
}
```
and then from within the object itself:
PHP:
```
$name = $this->_getName();
```
This way you can still use that first argument for something else (like sending a flag for whether or not to used cached data here perhaps).

The opposite case could be made that if you use the getter/setter and somebody changes the getter/setter they have to analyze all the places the getter and setter is used internally to see if it messes something up.

134 | 1 | 206 | null | 39 | 1,433 | I have a pretty standard table set-up in a current application using the [.NET](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework) [XSD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_Schema_%28W3C%29) `DataSet` and `TableAdapter` features. My `contracts` table consists of some standard contract information, with a column for the `primary department`. This column is a [foreign key](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_key) to my `Departments` table, where I store the basic `department name`, `id`, `notes`. This is all setup and functioning in my [SQL Server](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SQL_Server).
When I use the XSD tool, I can drag both tables in at once and it auto detects/creates the foreign key I have between these two tables. This works great when I'm on my main page and am viewing contract data.
However, when I go to my administrative page to modify the department data, I typically do something like this:
```
Dim dtDepartment As New DepartmentDataTable()
Dim taDepartment As New DepartmentTableAdapter()
taDepartment.Fill(dtDepartment)
```
However, at this point an exception is thrown saying to the effect that there is a foreign key reference broken here, I'm guessing since I don't have the `Contract DataTable` filled.
How can I fix this problem? I know I can simply remove the foreign key from the XSD to make things work fine, but having the additional integrity check there and having the XSD schema match the SQL schema in the database is nice.

Forgive me if my Java is a little off, it's been a year since I programmed in Java...
It seems people are assuming I am talking about private or protected variables/properties only. When I learned OO I was taught to use getters/setters for every single property even if it was public (and actually I was told never to make any variable/property public). So, I may be starting off from a false assumption from the get go. It appears that people answering this question are maybe saying that you should have public properties and that those don't need getters and setters, which goes against what I was taught, and what I was talking about, although maybe that needs to be discussed as well. That's probably a good topic for a different question though...

Basically, in a memory leak occurs when referenced objects are rooted and thus cannot be garbage collected. This occurs accidentally when you hold on to references beyond the intended scope.
You'll know that you have leaks when you start getting OutOfMemoryExceptions or your memory usage goes up beyond what you'd expect ( has nice memory counters).
Understanding 's memory model is your best way of avoiding it. Specifically, understanding how the garbage collector works and how references work — again, I refer you to chapter 7 of the e-book. Also, be mindful of common pitfalls, probably the most common being events. If object is registered to an event on object , then object will stick around until object disappears because holds a reference to . The solution is to unregister your events when you're done.
Of course, a good memory profile will let you see your object graphs and explore the nesting/referencing of your objects to see where references are coming from and what root object is responsible ([red-gate ants profile](http://www.red-gate.com/products/ants_memory_profiler/index.htm), JetBrains dotMemory, [memprofiler](http://memprofiler.com/) are really good choices, or you can use the text-only and , but I'd strongly recommend a commercial/visual product unless you're a real guru).
I believe unmanaged code is subject to its typical memory leaks, except that shared references are managed by the garbage collector. I could be wrong about this last point.

Title: Make React useEffect hook not run on initial render
According to the docs:
​> `componentDidUpdate()` is invoked immediately after updating occurs. This method is not called for the initial render.
We can use the new `useEffect()` hook to simulate `componentDidUpdate()`, but it seems like `useEffect()` is being ran after every render, even the first time. How do I get it to not run on initial render?
As you can see in the example below, `componentDidUpdateFunction` is printed during the initial render but `componentDidUpdateClass` was not printed during the initial render.
​`​`​`
function ComponentDidUpdateFunction() {
const [count, setCount] = React.useState(0);
React.useEffect(() => {
console.log(""componentDidUpdateFunction"");
});
return (
<div>
<p>componentDidUpdateFunction: {count} times</p>

Details on the HTML to Markdown conversion
Using Jsoup, the original Body field was converted into a Jsoup Document. The child nodes (has special meaning in context of Jsoup) of this document were recursively traversed in a depth-first order.
Jsoup defines .text()
as follows:
... the normalized, combined text of this element and all its children. Whitespace is normalized and trimmed. For example, given HTML
<p>Hello <b>there</b> now! </p>
, p.text() returns "Hello there now!"
Jsoup defines a Node
as follows:
The base, abstract Node model. Elements, Documents, Comments etc are all Node instances.
Additionally the existence of the TextNode
should be noted, which represents floating text inside an HTML document that is not itself an HTML element.
Thus this text tag <p>Hello<code>World</code></p>
would have two Jsoup child nodes TextNode(value="Hello")
and Element(tag="code", value="World")
.
The value field
of a TextNode
contains the free standing text without any further treatment (no whitespace stripping, etc.)
