Oh, ok. What would be a better suited Stack Exchange site then? Maybe Software Engineering SE? Thanks for the article btw. — bwdm 1 min ago

Also, in future, this type of domain-specific question is better suited to bioinformatics.stackexchange.com, where there is a community of bioinformaticians willing to help you solve your problem and provide specialised advice (e.g. see bioinformatics.stackexchange.com/q/12990). StackOverflow is more geared towards professional programmers so you don't tend to get answers to relatively 'simple' questions in a lot of cases — jared_mamrot 15 secs ago

No problem! This is much better and I've retracted my close vote — hopefully one of the many programmers and data scientists here on SO will help you figure out what is happening in your LSTM — Derek O 9 secs ago

@GhostCat To be fair, I imagine Haily is interested in the underlying technology concepts and implementation details of class loaders, exceptions, and such rather than the surface we know of as day-to-day Java programmers. — Basil Bourque 37 secs ago

If you really want a universally unique identifier, you really should be using a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). Using UUIDs avoids the caveats mentioned in the correct Answer by Ole V.V.. And UUIDs handle many more sequence numbers per fraction of a second than your granularity of ten per second. And UUIDs are standard, easily recognized and understood by skilled programmers and sysadmins, and interoperable with other systems. — Basil Bourque 28 secs ago

I'm not software engineer and maybe I'm wrong. Maybe after view months it will be more clear for me if the code's readability is good enough. — iRex 26 secs ago

@Ken White That's good advice to the data providers. Often programmers and researchers are downstream of something they did not ask for. — Nick Cox 19 secs ago

Welcome to Stackoverflow. Questions like these are not recieved well by stackoverflow users and probably wont get any good answers If you're looking for software reccomendations I suggest you take a look at softwarerecs.stackexchange.com — speyck 12 secs ago

@masoud stupid as most java / jee programmers on this planet. 24 upvotes for nothing. you literally can have default implementations in interfaces currently. nothing would be complicating shit by forcing implementors to declare the fields in their own class just to provide a f**** setter and getter. If the field was possible to declare in the interface things would be less nuclear, not more. Currently we have a nuclear situation. There is no reason why interfaces can not have fields / properties. We just have not gotten around to it, because most Java devs out there are brainless. — mmm 18 secs ago

This isn't the best place to ask for vague product recommendations. If you can write down a specification then your question might be on-topic at softwarerecs.stackexchange.com. — Lundin 36 secs ago

@Atreide two problems are: 1: users want reasonable scrollbars - and that requres knowing count - not perhaps accurate, but give or take 10% is ok. 2: In Delphi 5 (1999) there was no TDataset.IsEmpty function. Programmers were supposed to use TDataset.BOF and TDataset.EOF as a substitute, but most code examples only shown .EOF and not .BOF and i am not sure this was ever documented. So they went easy was with RecordCount <> 0 instead (and -1 <> 0 :-D ). I do not remember which Delphi version introduced .IsEmpty function, but to that year internet was all full with count abuse — Arioch 'The 24 secs ago

I found this answer: softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/106363/363917 regarding your question. I think that the true "polymorphic" solution would be the use of the visitor pattern in this case. — frumle 32 secs ago

Some programmers use MERGEFIELDs as nothing more than placeholders in ordinary documents, and write data to the MERGEFIELDs instead of using them in a mailmerge. Either way, if you have a document that present you with a mailmerge SQL prompt when you open it, it isn't connected to a data source. Accordingly, all you're left with is reading through the fields collection to find the one you're interested in. See code in answer below. — macropod 46 secs ago

Questions that ask "where do I start?" are typically too broad and are not a good fit for this site. People have their own method for approaching the problem and because of this there cannot be a correct answer. Give a good read over Where to Start and edit your post. — gunr2171 32 secs ago

There should be a tool that came with your compiler called a debugger. Because programmers like joke names and acronyms you might have to look up what the debugger is named, but once you have that figures out, you can use the debugger to run the program at super-slow speed and view the variables so you can see what the program does as it does it. Awesomely helpful in finding where thigs initially went wrong. As soon as you see program doing something you don't expect, like storing the wrong value or taking the wrong path, you've probably found a bug. — user4581301 39 secs ago

Welcome to Stack Overflow. Please read Open Letter to Students with Homework Problems. You can't just dump your problem statement here and expect us to do it for you. It's also a good idea to take the tour, read about what's on-topic in the help center, and How to Ask. — Chris 30 secs ago

This, this "is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers" - that excludes asking about the very basics and first steps of programming. — luk2302 36 secs ago

Please carefully read this. It explains why questions like this one aren't suitable for this platform, and why asking for the answer in this manner is actively detrimental to your learning. — nanofarad just now

The purpose of the comments is to lead you into the expected paths to produce a viable question. The documented purpose of the site is to provide an archive of clear questions and answers for professional and enthusiast programmers. You haven't bother to print the problem values -- working through the "how to ask" guidelines is your responsibility. — Prune 22 secs ago

I think you're confused by the way C programmers sometimes talk about things being "part of the language" or not. There's a sense in which preprocessor directives are "not part of the language" because they are handled in a completely separate pass that doesn't know anything about C syntax or semantics. But preprocessor directives like #define and #include are still part of C in that they're standardized and any C implementation has to support them in the way the standard says. On the other hand, something like __attribute__ ((__packed__)) is the opposite: it is handled by the compiler, — trentcl 17 secs ago

Welcome to Stack Overflow. Please take the tour to learn how Stack Overflow works and read How to Ask on how to improve the quality of your question. Then check the help center to see what questions you can ask. Please see: Why is “Is it possible to…” a poorly worded question? (don't just change your question to "How"). — Progman 35 secs ago
