Although used within the WordPress platform, this is PHP focussed question. I have an array of child posts, some have content, some don't. My client wishes to display the posts in alphabetical order, but posts without content are to be positioned at the end (still in A-Z order). My solution is ...

I have written a program to solve Sudoku puzzles as a (fun?) way to learn Python. It solves puzzles as a human would, using reasoning algorithms rather than brute force/backtracking, as I thought it would a more interesting challenge that way. I really looking for any feedback on how to reduce i...

I've created a simplified prototype solution as a sort of proof of concept before starting a larger program. Here is the test data used to build the objects: create table blah.dbo.tb_sandpitCreateMultipleLinkedObjects ( CustomerName varchar(50), ItemCode varchar(50) ); insert into blah...

Code can be found on Github. Some coworkers and I sometimes want to delete folders, only to get the very informative: Permission Denied message. I had discovered Handle.exe and Process Explorer to help with this, but the method was still too manual and cumbersome. Thus, I decided to write thi...

I've just started a self-learning "course" on Python practical programming for beginners. I found this book online, and decided to go through the chapters. The book had a half-complete implementation of a Tic-Tac-Toe game, and I was supposed to finish it as an exercise. This is my code so far: ...

I am using a foreach loop to sort an associative array alphabetically. I would like to know if there is a more proper and/or efficient way of doing it. The array: Array ( [gr_c] => Array ( [f] => 'value...' [a] => 'value...' [d] => 'value...' ...

Is there anything wrong with the following implementation of an in-memory top-ten bought products tracker? public class Main { private static List<Integer> topTenItems = Collections.synchronizedList(new ArrayList<Integer>(Collections.nCopies(10, 0))); private static List<Integer> topTenScores =...

Perfect Hash Families (PHFs) are a widely studied combinatorial object. Essentially, they are 4-tuples (N; t, k, v), where the PHF is an N by k array of v symbols. For any t columns chosen, there is at least one row of those chosen columns that has no symbol duplicated in that row. I want to be ...

Problem: Using current cryptography tools provided in the .NET framework results in ciphertext [containing sensitive information] decrypting to String or Byte array objects in memory in their entirety. There does not appear to presently exist a process for decrypting ciphertext into a SecureStrin...

For a little toy project of mine I need to have data available in a certain format in order to be able to feed into a Recurrent Neural Network (Long short term memory), it uses HearthStone card data that is available in JSON format. Example input: { "id":"EX1_306", "name":"S...

I execute JavaScript from a website that opens another page and executes JavaScript: $('#ctl00_button', "www.example.com/").click(); Is this right? If not, can you post the correct way?

My implementation of two shortest single source paths, Bellman-Ford and Dijkstra, are below. All comments welcome. I did not implement a priority queue in Dijkstra, not sure it a trivial priority queue is the best choice, since, after each iteration, several elements change their value, maybe it...
