...nd confusing: int a = b > 10 ? c < 20 ? 50 : 80 : e == 2 ? 4 : 8; Moreover, when using ternary operator, consider formatting the code in a way that improve readability: int a = (b > 10) ? some_value : another_value; ...

...d to remove such a simple record from the DB? usually you are dealing with more complex records that include FK relations. hence my comment. – baruchl Sep 30 '14 at 18:46 2 ...

...sform" attribute. The performance of both geometric zooming examples feels more than adequate. For semantic zooming, you'll notice that D3 is significantly faster than Protovis. This is because it's doing a lot less work for each zoom event. (The Protovis version has to recalculate all attributes on...

...s well). But that's not enough when you want to represent characters from more than one language, so cramming all available characters into a single byte just won't work. There are essentially two different types of encodings: one expands the value range by adding more bits. Examples of these enco...

... to learn programming languages or platforms. These generally give you no more than a little taste of the language. To really learn a language, you need the equivalent of a "book", and in many cases, this means a real dead-tree book. If you want to learn C, read K&R. If you want to learn C++...

...ing an actual array would be inefficient. You'll have to ask someone with more knowledge about specific implementations to answer what excatly triggers the shift from dense to sparse, but your example should be perfectly safe. If you want to get a dense array, you should call the constructor with a...

... ignore the memory footprint of your application -- obviously, smaller and more efficient does tend to be desirable. However, you should consider what your actual needs are. If you are writing a standard Windows Forms and WPF client applications which is destined to run on an individual's PC, and is...

...u can read up about it here (old article), but basically .sidebar.right is more specific than .sidebar. That is probably the problem. Use web inspector to figure out what's overriding it. – citelao Apr 21 '13 at 0:55 ...
