Do you like Shakespeare? If so, how about "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet", or, shorter these days, "A rose is a rose is a rose."
If you're not a big fan of the Bard, consider "If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ...".
If my superview is a box measuring 10 units on each side, and my subview is 20 units wide, with clipsToBounds set to YES, I'll only see the part of the subview that fits within the bounds of the superview. Otherwise, if clipsToBounds is set to NO, I'll see the entire subview, even the parts outs...
The equivalent is a bit field.
In SQL you use 0 and 1 to set a bit field (just as a yes/no field in Access). In Management Studio it displays as a false/true value (at least in recent versions).
When accessing the database through ASP.NET it will expose the field as a boolean value.
I'm not just what would be the best way to refactor your code, but I still have some tips for you. I'll take parts of your code and show you how I would have done using a before/after approach:

I have to make a function to return a string representation of an integer that is passed as an argument. If the argument is 5, the function should return "5". Anyone has an idea on how to get started with this?
Introduction
Valve recently launched the Dota 2 Workshop Tools, which allows players to create their own maps with custom gamemodes, similar to Warcraft 3 in capabilities.
Ability and unit definitions are stored in txt files under a specific format, very similar to JSON:

Preamble: the default frame positioning with Swing JFrames has always bothered me. Eventually I wrote some code to calculate my available desktop space, not counting my abnormally-large right-side-anchored taskbar, and use that information to size and position my JFrames. Then I got sick of copy/...
I implemented the following (what I believe to be) safe Reverse Polish Calculator.
Now I'm using foldM to take advantage of the power of Monads. Previously, I was not.
Can you please critique my code?

I'm just getting into Clojure, and I wanted to make sure I am writing code the "Clojure way". The challenge I took on is Zeckendorf numbers (fairly trivial). Here's my code:

([n]
(vec (if (< n 3)
(range 1 (inc n))
(concat [1 2] (fibs-until n 1 2)))))

this question is about an improvement of the code from this previous question.

I have a vector with 10000 particles that I use in a Particle Filter. The problem is it's taking too long to compute the weighted selection of the particles. Is there anyway I can optimize this?

I created a utility method ListUtils.partition(iterable, size) to partition a potentially large list to a list of smaller lists:

Hello I have created this program and it works fine its just that its too wonky and huge so I was wondering if anyone knew how I could shorten the program so I didn't have to put all of these into each button

}

I posted this question on Stack Overflow and was advised that it is best suited to this site. I'm trying to convert a couple of simple CRC calculating functions from C to C#, but I seem to be getting incorrect results.
The C functions are:

So I saw a post on a funny pictures site...
"In the word "Scent", is the S or the C silent?"
And I thought I could ask about it here.
In particular, how does the pronunciation of "scent" differ from "cent" and "sent"? Small audio references would help me in particular.
Today we're proposing a new feature to the Meta Stack Overflow community: Stack Snippets.
What do Stack Snippets do?
Stack Snippets make code blocks runnable. Here's an example:
alert("You can even do alerts");

font-size: 1.5em;
}
<div class="hello">Stack...

In addition to Pimgd's remarks I want to throw in:
Program against high Interfaces, not low ones:
Currently your methods all take a List<? extends T>. That in itself is quite nice already. Now a traversal of existing elements does not necessarily have to be done on an ordered Collection only.

Better Test Cases
