@GuntramBlohm: see also workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/177120/… for his previous work history (seems like he has been sole responsible for a critical app)

@DavidPostill: Thank you for both the info and for taking the time from your busy moderator job.

@DavidPostill: Thanks, Makes sense. Is it ok with the edit to superuser.com/questions/464232/…? Should my question be reopened (there is no real need for me ATM; maybe for later if some easier solution for Chrome comes along), or not?

Hi mods. superuser.com/questions/1263519/… was just closed as a duplicate of superuser.com/questions/464232/…. The latter to me seems to ask about bigger-than-physical viewports, while mine just asks about a specific size that should fit most screens. Should I migrate my answer that just works on physical to the other question, or how should it be handled?

well, yes, but still different sites are different, so your help was very appreciated.

You answered the main point, so the accept was justly earned.

exactly. thanks so much

That is very neat, as it avoids the code repetition yet still loops over integers.

Anyways, thank you very much for all the effort and the answer.

Tor traffic can be analysed using website fingerprinting. This is an attempt to mitigate.

... that was a question what it's for, right?

ok, explanation of randomUrl is there. As for the title, feel free.

let me try

please forgive the browser-crashing.

anyways, it is now toned down to just one class

in FF, it works...

that is a good idea

it was actually supposed to be about for loop with floats problem, but yes, that sounds good

well, this is from an addon, which listens to http requests, etc, so we could start from the trigger code maybe... and that could keep it down

give me some time

sure

would you like me to try that?

sure

Hi all

Hi @Pimgd

@MichaelT Yes, that sounds like a challenge which an RDBMS can take off you. My previous code was key/value (Android SharedPreferences). Worked when sorted by date, yet, as you pointed out, more complicated use cases get harder and harder. (Thanks a third time ;-) ) Yet, MongoDB can probably do that as well as a RDBMS while being less in the way.

yes, SQL is very strict in what you can insert into your table, where MongoDB gives you more freedom. That also means you can make more mistakes. Again, thank you for recommending the chat room. It really helped.

and if you sum all of these up, Mongo gets in your way much less than a SQL DB

yes

1. Schema design, where you can just insert stuff into Mongo. 2. connection to the database is just two lines in Mongo, 3. Database setup: install, run mongo, you're set, 4. having a driver (which admittedly fits better to python or JS vs formatting your (Java) data to fit into the text query. 5. Handling retrieved documents seemed easier, too, but I had given up on SQL before really getting the hang of it.

@Ixrec Concerning your query, you are right. (except that the 30 is a String in SQL (?) and an int in Mongo)

So the next step would be to either research document-based DBs or just to bite the bullet and use SQL. Thank you very much, again.

Compared to SQL, Mongo is just so much easier. But maybe you are right, there, too. (You already were, concerning Snappy)

Thank you. Seems like key/value storage is a poor fit. Concerning Mongo: you can define an index for date, for example. (which, admittedly, is a bit more work, but possible).

db.keys.find({key: {$gt: 30, $lt: 50}}); in Mongo

Yes, that would be possible with MongoDB (not on Android), but Snappy is a poor fit for that.

@MichaelT if you use the date as the key, you can use a snappyDB.findKeysBetween(

@MichaelT Thank you. While it would be a good fit, SQL seems such a kludge compared to key-value storage, though. It is just way harder to get working. Is that effort well-spent? (And Snappy can search for all keys with an item less than a fixed value, so the searching would be easy there, too)

@MichaelT Yes, that's what you said in the last message. I did not get the "new message" from the FAQ, where it says "on a line by itself …"

@MichaelT I tried "a line by itself" in the same message, but the "line by itself" did not work :-(. New message is a good fix.

@MichaelT Thank you.

Hi all, @Ixreq advised to ask here: meta.programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/7584/… . Is there anything to be improved before migrating this question to Programmers, or not? : stackoverflow.com/questions/32246376/…
