Back when the idea of beta sites was young, the expectation was that beta was a fairly quick process. Even now, Area 51 sets the expectation that 90 days is a good "start thinking about graduation" checkpoint, and today I got this in email for a new private beta:
Q: How long is the beta?

What should our logo and site design look like?
Groups have an amazing ability to self organize — not by following rules or hierarchies of authority, but through basic human nature. Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a spontaneous brainstorming session with a group of colleagues? Sometimes you just know that you’re at the start of something big — something important — when everyone is abuzz with ideas, collaborating wildly with enthusiasm and energy.
That’s how it feels each time a new Stack Exchange site is launched. Not only in the questions and answers that are posted, but in the back room collaborations where the self-governance is starting to take shape — in meta. …
The Goal:
Build a Person object for each row, with first_name, last_name, and email attributes. This list of people should be encapsulated in a class that can do stuff like return unique by different attributes, ie: people.unique_by_first_name. Also, the people object should be Enumberable.

This is my naive (but currently working) attempt at reading JSON commands from a Java game server in Objective-C. I am afraid I might be doing something wrong, so hopefully this question will be a learning experience for me.
To give a little background, someone else built the game server in Jav...
i need to find the avarage of an array [100, 100, 70]
and it keeps giving me 0 instead of 90
var x = [100, 100, 70];
function average(x) {
var i,
sum = 0,
len = x.length;
for(i=0;i<=x.len;i++)
{
sum =+ x[i];
}
return (sum/len);
}

I have a handful of images working as jQuery toggle switches - Showing or hiding an element on a click event.
The code below mostly works as intended, but I'm fairly certain I'm using a lot of unnecessary stuff to make it happen. Any suggestions o...
now = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
now.strftime('%d %b %Y %I:%M:%S.%f')[:-3] + now.strftime(' %p')
Is there a cleaner solution for this? I don't want the extra 000 to appear everytime in %f.
I wrote a fonction that allow me to read a binary file using 3 blocks what ever the length of file.
So I decided to divide the length of my file into 3
block 1: ______________
block 2: ______________
block 3: ____
As you can see this is almost the length of the 3 blocks that I will have usi...
I'm trying to design a protocol for sending/receiving serial data.
The basic plan is to allow for text data to be entered in the command prompt, translate that to a hex string and send it out over the serial connection.
The hex protocol with the serial device is as follows:
byte[0]: address of...

So I just wrote a program that reads a specific file and returns the frequency of each character used. This was done by using a singly linked list(not java LinkedList, but very similar). What I want to know is why this:
while(txtFile.read() != -1){
Character letter = (char) txtFile...
This is a generally good solution. Pretty good adherence to naming conventions, and generally quite easy to read. It's probably just fine as it is, but if you do want to make it better, there are some improvements that can be made:
Extracting the outermost method
First off, we have:

Those shouldn't be there. Those should be declared within functions. If another function required the value of one of tho...

You can create a manifest file and set the app to require administrative privileges. This will trigger the UAC user prompt with the dimmed screen when your application is run without requiring any code on your part.
