Hard to believe anyone would use that as an example. In C# you could do: filteredArray = allRecords.Find(i => i.someField == filterValue) EDIT: Not sure why the downvote, I'm simply stating that many other languages have far better sy

my_array.select { |item| item == somefiltervalue } At least that's one way to do it in ruby.

I guess it depends on what type of person you are. I'd rather not pretend to be having a real conversation with an electronic device and would rather give simple voice commands when needed. That being said the more conversational style, wit

Browsers have used cache and tmp directories for as long as I can remember and none of them automatically delete that content for me. Is it really so hard for me to get some type of notification from the OS saying I have very little free sp

True, but didn't it used to be that sharecropping mainly meant building plugins to existing applications (i.e. adding a plugin to Microsoft Word). Suddenly sharecropping is broadened to writing an application on someone else's Operating Sys

We do store locations for all events and have easy links that send you to google map of that location. We also allow all parents to send messages either to entire team or to individuals on the team (a frequent use of this has been for paren

Thanks for the feedback. I agree on the screenshot, just not entirely sure what to do with that space (I'm a programmer with very little design skills, but I'll try to remove it and works something out)!

We just recently launched our first application at http://teamloopapp.com . It's intended audience is to help manage the communication of any type of sports teams. I'm most interested in feedback on the homepage and if it explains enough o

Instapaper is more than just an iOS application, so no, iCloud is not the answer for syncing.

Also, per the twitter developer guidelines, you need to parse the tweets and make all links, hash tags, and usernames hyperlinks back to twitter for those individual items. I recently had to do a similar thing for a site I threw together to

These slides makes it look like you have to be one type or the other. I'd suggest that the boy is an excellent candidate for the job and that you could help provide him the lower level understanding that you would like your programmers to h

Fred Phelps is a lawyer and they simply do the things they do to get a violent reaction out of people so that they can then sue those individuals. It's simply about making money in one of the most scummy way possible (far worse than patent

Thank you very much for posting the link to this book. I had never heard of it before and after seeing your comment I immediately read some reviews, started reading the sample chapter, bought the book, and am now 3 chapters in. An amazing r

Most reputable and higher end stores will allow you to take chairs home and try them for several days at a time. Do not make the decision on what chair feels the most comfortable to sit in at a store. If you've been sitting in cheaper chair

MacVim is great for that (if, of course, you are on a mac). It has all the great vi stuff along with the core OS style commands that everyone is familiar with. I believe gVim on Windows does the same but I'm not positive on that.

I disagree. Larry and Sergei wouldn't have been on stage demonstrating PageRank. They would've been on stage demonstrating a brand new search engine that returns much more relevant results faster than anything out there. That would've been

Is it really a problem if I simply use them as a registrar? I have many domains there but that's all I use them for is to simply register my domain. I have liked them for that because they are cheap (if you avoid all the up-sells which is e

Thanks for the feedback. You are definitely right on #3 but we found going through the trials with our baseball teams that parents did want to share photos but none wanted to necessarily post them on any type of public service (such as face

Surely I could filter those resumes just like many employers currently do anyway. First of all we'd likely be talking about some type of entry level position as education plays less and less of a role when looking for experienced engineers.

I think it says something about the kinds of employers that look at people who have spent upwards of 100k to obtain a piece of paper that implies some arbitrary level of understanding in a given subject. The same level of understanding that

It more so to me reflects the knee-jerk reaction of many in the Ruby community to jump to newer projects simply because they are newer. I like rvm a lot and use it all the time. I'm sure rbenv is a good solution as well. I think it's a bit

On top of that you usually can cut out quite a bit on child care costs. I left a job I had for 5 years that allowed me to telecommute for contracting where I was expected to be in the office but made about 160% of what my full time salary w

The problem with making this sound like it's purely a defensive move is that if tomorrow the government decides they agree and would like to massively reform the software patent process would Google really be able to support that. They just

Am I the only who thinks a large reason why MySpace lost to Facebook was design? MySpace just gave way to much flexibility to the users to modify the look and feel of their pages that it just got way to busy and very difficult to look at. I
