Formatting of dynamically generated HTML - does no one care?

北战南征 提交于 2019-12-24 19:00:12
问题 I have very little experience in web development, so this may be a very basic question. It's just, from the limited experience I do have (a little PHP, and a little Ruby on Rails), it seems that the way dynamically generated HTML is formatted just "doesn't matter"; it ends up ugly, with weird indentation, and nobody cares because that isn't what the users sees. Unless, of course, the user is a developer, or even just someone who's curious to look at a little HTML to try and learn something.

Can Guice be configured to hide the class path in stack traces?

佐手、 提交于 2019-12-24 03:18:12
问题 Guice's stack traces can get so verbose that they are very painful to read. Here's an example: 1) No implementation for java.util.Set<com.mydomain.myapp.android.activities.catbrowser.generalizedbrowser.listview.helpers.databaseitem.itemmanipulators.ItemManipulator<com.mydomain.myapp.flash.Cat>> annotated with @com.google.inject.assistedinject.Assisted(value=) was bound. while locating java.util.Set<com.mydomain.myapp.android.activities.catbrowser.generalizedbrowser.listview.helpers

Using true and false as the expressions in a conditional operation

放肆的年华 提交于 2019-12-23 06:58:12
问题 I'm maintaining some code and have found the following pattern a lot: var isMale = (row["Gender"].ToString() == "M") ? true : false; instead of this: var isMale = (row["Gender"].ToString() == "M"); Is there any reason why anyone would do this? Does anyone think the former is more readable or clearer? Is there some sort of old C "gotcha" that this is a hold-over from? 回答1: A valid reason? No. It's usually produced by people who don't really understand that a condition is also in itself an

Is it bad style to reassign long variables as a local abbreviation?

会有一股神秘感。 提交于 2019-12-22 08:19:16
问题 I prefer to use long identifiers to keep my code semantically clear, but in the case of repeated references to the same identifier, I'd like for it to "get out of the way" in the current scope. Take this example in Python: def define_many_mappings_1(self): self.define_bidirectional_parameter_mapping("status", "current_status") self.define_bidirectional_parameter_mapping("id", "unique_id") self.define_bidirectional_parameter_mapping("location", "coordinates") #etc... Let's assume that I really

Access member variables directly or pass as parameter?

别等时光非礼了梦想. 提交于 2019-12-22 03:48:47
问题 I noticed that even when paying respect to the single responsibility principle of OOD, sometimes classes still grow large. Sometimes accessing member variables directly in methods feels like having global state, and a lot of stuff exists in the current scope. Just by looking at the method currently working in, it is not possible anymore to determine where invidiual variables accessible in the current scope come from. When working together with a friend lately, I realized I write much more

How “self-documenting” can code be without being annoying? [closed]

问题 Closed . This question is opinion-based. It is not currently accepting answers. Want to improve this question? Update the question so it can be answered with facts and citations by editing this post. Closed last year . I am not sure what the best practices are here, but I often see abbreviated variable names especially when the scope is small. So (to use simple Ruby examples) instead of def add_location(name, coordinates) , I see things like def add_loc(name, coord) —and I might even see

css styling using custom attributes to make it more readable. good or bad?

Is it better to reuse SqlCommand when executing the same SQL query several times?

£可爱£侵袭症+ 提交于 2019-12-18 19:05:15
问题 When querying the database with the same query but different parameters, is it better to: do it in a single using, or to create two separate queries? Example of a single using: using (SqlCommand addProduct = new SqlCommand(@"insert into [Products].[Products] ([Name], [Price]) values (@name, @price)", sqlConnection)) { // Insert the first product. addProduct.Parameters.AddWithValue("@name", "Product 1"); addProduct.Parameters.AddWithValue("@price", 41F); int countAffectedRows = addProduct

iOS access to Safari Reader feature through UIWebView

六眼飞鱼酱① 提交于 2019-12-18 10:24:58
问题 I am using iOS 4.3 & was wondering if there is any way that I can access the Safari's "Reader" feature through which webpages are removed of ads & other riff raff & the content takes the center stage. If one opens any article in Safari (on say Wikipedia website), then a "Reader" button appears on the URL bar. Clicking on it presents a new window presenting the content beautifully. How can I leverage this this functionality in iOS through UIWebView ? PS: I know there is something called
