What's better about Ruby than Python? I'm sure there's something. What is
it?
This is not a troll. I'm language shopping and I want people's answers. I
don't know beans about Ruby or have any preconceived ideas about it. I have
noticed, however, that every programmer I talk to who's aware of Python is
also talking about Ruby. So it seems that Ruby has the potential to compete
with and displace Python. I'm curious on what basis it...

I'm realizing I didn't frame my question well.
What's ***TOTALLY COMPELLING*** about Ruby over Python? What makes you jump
up in your chair and scream "Wow! Ruby has *that*? That is SO FRICKIN'
COOL!!! ***MAN*** that would save me a buttload of work and make my life
sooooo much easier!"
As opposed to minor differences of this feature here, that feature there.
Variations on style are of no interest to me. I'm coming at this from a...

I have an arraylist of string values. I would like to search the arraylist
to find the index of a particular string and I would like the search to be
case insensitive.
dim al as new arraylist
al.add("one")
al.add("two")
dim x as integer = al.indexof("ONE") I would like this to find the match
and return 0

Hi,
I'm a bit green in this area and wonder to what extent there may be
some existing Python tools (or if I have to scratch my head real hard
for an appropriate algorithm... ) I'd hate to build an inferior
solution to that someone has painstakingly built before me.
I have some files which may have had the same origin, but some may have
had some cruft added to the front, and some may have had some cruft
added to the back; thus they...

Greetings:
I am attempting to get conditional output based on POSTed form data.
If the posted value is either the key or value of an array, $x=key and
$q=foo. elseif it is neither key nor value(I tried || too) , $q=bar.
Even though $x is properly assigned the new value, $q always ends up
being bar. Abstractions aside, here's the code: (note ## comments

What is the best way to implement "tail -f" in C or C++ and higher

Hi
I have to write a multi-threaded program. I decided to take an OO
approach to it. I had the idea to wrap up all of the thread functions
in a mix-in class called Threadable. Then when an object should run
in its own thread, it should implement this mix-in class. Does this
sound like plausible design decision?
I'm surprised that C++ doesn't have such functionality, say in its
STL. This absence of a thread/object relationship in...

Why?:
One commonly used algorithm is the binary search.
If you don't already know it, you should read on.
Very helpful. Saves much CPU. Reduces computations exponentially.
When searching though a lot of information to find a match, the first idea that comes to mind is the linear search. Loop through all the values looking for a match. If you find it, return the location, or value and end the search.
However this becomes highly...

Overview:
Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Dear forum friends,
With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies. I'm particularly interested in Zigbee because I've heard it does some...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own....
Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
