Really ignorant TextField (AWT) question from an idiot.

by: C. Armour | last post by:

Help me, I'm suffering! Situation: I have a load() function which loads a bunch of TextFields with values. There are TextListeners registered for each of these TextFields. Thus, changing the text in any of them fires off a TextEvent, even if done programmatically (by means of setText()). The problem: I need all the various TextEvents fired off during the load operation (as a result of using TextField.setText())

I'm just an idiot when it comes logging

by: olsongt | last post by:

I'm trying to be a good boy and use the logging module but it's behaving rather counter-intuitively. I've posted a simplified test script below. To summarize, I've set the basic config to only log root level messages with >= ERROR level. I've created another named logger that logs on info level. I've set it up so it just shows the message text without "INFO:: logger:" boilerplate. The way I see things, when I call otherLogger.info,...

The war of the OSes was won a long time ago. Unix has always been, and will continue to be, the Server OS in the form of Linux. Microsoft struggled mightily to win that battle -- creating a poor man's DBMS, a broken email server and various other /application/ servers to try and crack the Internet and IS markets. In the case where they didn't spend their own money to get companies to

Speaking of trying to read deeply nested if-else blocks...

Forgive me, I'm an idiot but can someone clear up something for me? ASP.Net Session Vars.

by: Bill Dodd | last post by:

Is there really no way to have different asp.net applications share session variables? The problem I'm running into is that I have numerous asp.net (and asp) applications that were written as standalone apps and are now one by one being added to an umbrella project.

Two Ways To Identify An Idiot Web Developer

I can't tell you how frustrated I get when going to a web developer's website and observing he or she is an idiot that has not grasped the most fundamental element of usability: page title naming conventions. 1.) You know you are at an idiot's website when there is no page title. Listen up idiot. Give every page a name using the HTML <title> element. 2.) When naming your page do not put the name of your website or your company 'after'...

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

by: Oralloy | last post by:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

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,...
