Just a couple observations, unfortunately not directly related to your primary concerns but still [hopefully] valuable input from a code review perspective: The class is tightly coupled with several other classes. This may or may not be problematic, just thought I'd point it out - I consider in...

I'm playing with lambdas in Java 8 and I came across warning local variables referenced from a lambda expression must be final or effectively final. I know that when I use variables inside anonymous class they must be final in outer class, but still - what is the difference between final and effe...

Meme: Chiming in Originator: Malachi Cultural Height: The Great Zombie War of 2013 (leaking Zombie brain matter into 2014) Background: when a question needs more answers and someone comes in with a good one, just add a "Good Answer, Thanks for Chiming in!" Very popular on really old Zombies ...

Interesting questions. Is setting 'style' still considered bad practice when creating elements through templating? Only if you cannot reasonably use css classes (which is your case) Should I be setting the style using jQuery after I generate the HTML from the template? Since you know the heig...

Why not get the total product and then walk the array (assuming the product is not zero) by taking the total and dividing the value in the current index?

i want to write a c program where calculation is done in one machine and after calculating the value is send to other machines (suppose other 5 machines) in a distributed system. and the value is stored in a array declared globally.

I have existing java code and need to create Design Document based on that. For starter even if I could get all functions with input / output parameters that will help in overall proces. Note: There is not commeted documentation on any procedures, function or classes. Last but not least. Let m...

Can String.Format() be implemented in VB6, at least a close-enough version of it that could be useful when programming in good ol' VB6? Good resource on the matter of VB6 string manipulation performance: http://www.aivosto.com/vbtips/stringopt2.html On a related not, I also came up with a coup...

I like your usage of Java 8. I'm learning a lot just by reading your code. I'm loving Java 8 a lot and I haven't even used it myself yet. Use a GestureRule class. Take a look at The Mug's Main class and/or The Monkey's static initializer in his enum. Your current way is error prone and causes so...

I am trying to use Java 8 Streams to find elements in a LinkedList. I want to guarantee, however, that there is 1 and only 1 match to the filter criteria. Take this code: public static void main(String[] args) { LinkedList<User> users = new LinkedList<>(); users.add(new User(1, "User1"...

You have some "Magic Numbers". If you wanted to work with a different grid size you'd have to replace 9 at many different places. Find the relationships between your hard-coded numbers and declare them as const. For example, const int Size = 9; and const int Box = 3; I like that you are using yi...

It is better to declare by interface instead of implementation. List<Node> OpenList = new List<Node>(); HashSet<Node> ClosedList = new HashSet<Node>(); Can become: IList<Node> OpenList = new List<Node>(); ISet<Node> ClosedList = new HashSet<Node>(); This allows you to more easily change th...

For example: string 1 = helloworld string 2 = asdfuvjerhelloworld this should return true. Another example: string 1 = helloworld string 2 = lshewodxzr this should also return true. So i'm looking how to make a method that will return a boolean that will check to see if the second string ha...
