2,630,186 | I am trying to work with an HTML.DropDownList in MVC and am not getting the expected return values. Here is my implementation for the selectList to bind to the drop down -
```
IEnumerable<status> stat = _provider.GetAllStatuses();
Statuses = new SelectList(stat.ToList(), "id", "name", i.status.id);
```
And here is my view -
```
<%= Html.DropDownList("Status",Model.Statuses) %>
```
I am getting an error when trying to run updatemodel in my controller. I then tried to individually set each object. It turns out that I am not getting a single int from the formvalue as I would expect to. Instead, I am getting a value like "5,10,2,3". I think this is coming from how I set up my selectlist, but I'm not exactly sure. Can anyone see an error in the way I am setting up this dd?
Thanks for any help, and let me know if I can clarify anything. | 2010/04/13 | [

it is best practice to list all columns you intend to include values for in the list of columns, so make sure you add them there, as well as the VALUES list:
```
insert into YourTable (col1, col2,..., newCol1, newCol2)
VALUES (1,2,...,new1, new2)
```
make sure the you get the column names spelled correct and that the table actually has those new columns in it. | make sure the column name sequence is the same as your insert data sequence.
Example
INSERT INTO TABLENAME
(ColumnName1,ColumnName2) VALUES (1,'data')
Becomes
INSERT INTO TABLENAME
(ColumnName1,ColumnName2,**ColumnNameNEW**) VALUES (1,'data','**newcolumndata**')
Notice both the new column name and the new data are in the third position in the sequence. |

329,838 | I have, for my game, a Packet class, which represents network packet and consists basically of an array of data, and some pure virtual functions
I would then like to have classes deriving from Packet, for example: StatePacket, PauseRequestPacket, etc. Each one of these sub-classes would implement the virtual functions, Handle(), which would be called by the networking engine when one of these packets is received so that it can do it's job, several get/set functions which would read and set fields in the array of data.
So I have two problems:
1. The (abstract) Packet class would need to be copyable and assignable, but without slicing, keeping all the fields of the derived class. It may even be possible that the derived class will have no extra fields, only function, which would work with the array on the base class. How can I achieve that?
2. When serializing, I would give each sub-class an unique numeric ID, and then write it to the stream before the sub-class' own serialization. But for unserialization, how would I map the read ID to the appropriate sub-class to instanciate it?

---
Perhaps I'm off base here. But I have to wonder: Is this really the best design for your needs?
By and large, function-only inheritance can be better achieved through function/method pointers, or aggregation/delegation and the passing around of data objects, than through polymorphism.
Polymorphism is a very powerful and useful tool. But it's only one of many tools available to us.
---
It looks like each subclass of Packet will need its own Marshalling and Unmarshalling code. Perhaps inheriting Packet's Marshalling/Unmarshalling code? Perhaps extending it? All on top of handle() and whatever else is required.
That's a lot of code.
While substantially more kludgey, it might be shorter & faster to implement Packet's data as a struct/union attribute of the Packet class.
Marshalling and Unmarshalling would then be centralized.
Depending on your architecture, it could be as simple as write(&data). Assuming there are no big/little-endian issues between your client/server systems, and no padding issues. (E.g. sizeof(data) is the same on both systems.)
Write(&data)/read(&data) **is a bug-prone technique**. But it's often a very fast way to write the first draft. Later on, when time permits, you can replace it with individual per-attribute type-based Marshalling/Unmarshalling code.
*Also:* I've taken to storing data that's being sent/received as a struct. You can bitwise copy a struct with operator=(), which at times has been VERY helpful! Though perhaps not so much in this case.
---
Ultimately, you are going to have a *switch* statement somewhere on that subclass-id type. The factory technique (which is quite powerful and useful in its own right) does this switch for you, looking up the necessary clone() or copy() method/object.
**OR** you could do it yourself in Packet. You could just use something as simple as:
( getHandlerPointer( id ) ) ( this )
---
Another advantage to an approach this kludgey (function pointers), aside from the rapid development time, is that you don't need to constantly allocate and delete a new object for each packet. You can re-use a single packet object over and over again. Or a vector of packets if you wanted to queue them. (Mind you, I'd clear the Packet object before invoking read() again! Just to be safe...)
Depending on your game's network traffic density, allocation/deallocation could get expensive. Then again, **premature optimization is the root of all evil.** And you could always just roll your own new/delete operators. (Yet more coding overhead...)
---
What you lose (with function pointers) is the clean segregation of each packet type. Specifically the ability to add new packet types without altering pre-existing code/files.
---
Example code:
```
class Packet
{
public:
enum PACKET_TYPES
{
STATE_PACKET = 0,
PAUSE_REQUEST_PACKET,
MAXIMUM_PACKET_TYPES,
FIRST_PACKET_TYPE = STATE_PACKET
};
typedef bool ( * HandlerType ) ( const Packet & );
protected:
/* Note: Initialize handlers to NULL when declared! */
static HandlerType handlers [ MAXIMUM_PACKET_TYPES ];
static HandlerType getHandler( int thePacketType )
{ // My own assert macro...
UASSERT( thePacketType, >=, FIRST_PACKET_TYPE );
UASSERT( thePacketType, <, MAXIMUM_PACKET_TYPES );
UASSERT( handlers [ thePacketType ], !=, HandlerType(NULL) );
return handlers [ thePacketType ];
}
protected:
struct Data
{
// Common data to all packets.
int number;
int type;
union
{
struct
{
int foo;
} statePacket;
struct
{
int bar;
} pauseRequestPacket;
} u;
} data;
public:
//...
bool readFromSocket() { /*read(&data); */ } // Unmarshal
bool writeToSocket() { /*write(&data);*/ } // Marshal
bool handle() { return ( getHandler( data.type ) ) ( * this ); }
}; /* class Packet */
```
---
PS: You might dig around with google and grab down cdecl/c++decl. They are very useful programs. Especially when playing around with function pointers.
E.g.:
```
c++decl> declare foo as function(int) returning pointer to function returning void
void (*foo(int ))()
c++decl> explain void (* getHandler( int ))( const int & );
declare getHandler as function (int) returning pointer to function (reference to const int) returning void

1,669,958 | SQL Server 2008 Database Question.
I have 2 tables, for arguments sake called Customers and Users where a single Customer can have 1 to n Users. The Customers table generates a CustomerId which is a seeded identity with a +1 increment on it. What I'm after in the Users table is a compound key comprising the CustomerId and a sequence number such that in all cases, the first user has a sequence of 1 and subsequent users are added at x+1.
So the table looks like this...
* CustomerId (PK, FK)
* UserId (PK)
* Name
...and if for example, Customer 485 had three customers the data would look like...
```
CustomerId | UserId | Name
----------
485 | 1 | John
485 | 2 | Mark
485 | 3 | Luke
```
I appreciate that I can manually add the 1,2,3,...,n entry for UserId however I would like to get this to happen automatically on row insert in SQL, so that in the example shown I could effectively insert rows with the CustomerId and the Name with SQL Server protecting the Identity etc. Is there a way to do this through the database design itself - when I set UserId as an identity it runs 1 to infinity across all customers which isn't what I am looking for - have I got a setting wrong somewhere, or is this not an option?

However, this smells to me of *naturalising a surrogate* key - which is not always a good idea.
More info here:
<http://www.agiledata.org/essays/keys.html> | That's not really an option with a regular identity column, but you could set up an insert trigger to auto populate the user id though.
The naive way to do this would be to have the trigger select the max user id from the users table for the customer id on the inserted record, then add one to that. However, you'll run into concurrency problems there if more than one person is creating a user record at the same time.
A better solution would be to have a NextUserID column on the customers table. In your trigger you would:
1. Start a transaction.
2. Increment the NextUserID for the customer (locking the row).
3. Select the updated next user id.
4. use that for the new User record.
5. commit the transaction.
This should ensure that simultaneous additions of users don't result in the same user id being used more than once.
All that said, I would recommend that you just don't do it. It's more trouble than it's worth and just smells like a bad idea to begin with. |

Surrogate keys are supposed to not have any kind of meaning. Why would you try to make a key that, simultaneously, is the surrogate and implies order?
My suggestions:
1. Create a date\_created field, defaulting to getDate(). That will allow you to know the order (time based) in which each user\_id was created.
2. Create an ordinal field - which can be updated by a trigger, to support that order.

3,060,765 | I've been looking into view models for mvc and I'm looking for the best way to do them. I've read loads of different articles but none seem to be clear as the "best way." So far example I might have a Customer model with the following properties:
* First Name
* Last Name
* Title
* Location
Where location is a foreign key to a location table in the database.
I want to be able to edit this customer but only the first name, last name and location. I'm not bothered about the title in the edit. So in my view I will need to pass a customer and a selected list.
Now from what I've read I have the following options (there's probably many more).
So my question is basically which is the best one?
1)
Add a select list to the `ViewData["Location"]` and just create a strongly typed view of customer?
2)
Create a view model where I pass a customer and select list (the data access is done in the controller):
```
public class ViewModelTest
{
public Customer Customer { get; set; }
public SelectList Locations { get; set; }
public ViewModelTest(Customer customer, SelectList locations)
{
Customer = customer;
Locations = locations;
}
}
```
3)
Create a view model where I pass a customer and list of locations and create the select list in the view model.
```
public class ViewModelTest
{
public Customer Customer { get; set; }
public SelectList Locations { get; set; }
public ViewModelTest(Customer customer, List<Location> locations, string selectedLocation)
{
Customer = customer;
Locations = new SelectList(locations, "LocationID", "LocationName", selectedLocation);
}
}
```
4)
Pass a customer and repository and do the data access in the view model.
```
public class ViewModelTest
{
public Customer Customer { get; set; }
public SelectList Locations { get; set; }
public ViewModelTest(Customer customer, IRepository repository, string selectedLocation)
{
Customer = customer;
Locations = new SelectList(repository.GetLocations(), "LocationID", "LocationName", selectedLocation);
}
}
```
5)
Create the view model with just the properties I need:
```
public class ViewModelTest
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }

] | Here's what I may suggest: have a view model which reflects the fields of strongly typed view:
```
public class SomeViewModel
{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string Location { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> PossibleLocations { get; set; }
}
```
And in your controller action populate this view model:
```
public ActionResult Index()
{
var customer = Repository.GetCustomer();
var locations = Repository.GetLocations();
var viewModel = new SomeViewModel
{
FirstName = customer.FirstName,
LastName = customer.LastName,
Location = customer.Location,
PossibleLocations = new SelectList(locations, "LocationID", "LocationName", customer.Location);
};
return View(viewModel);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(SomeViewModel viewModel)
{
// TODO: Handle the form submission
return View(viewModel);
}
```
Of course doing the mapping between the model and the view model manually as shown my example could become quite cumbersome and in this case I would recommend you looking at [AutoMapper](http://automapper.codeplex.com/). | I'd have my ViewModel as this
```
public class SomeViewModel
{
public Customer Customer { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<Location> PossibleLocations { get; set; }
}
```
My controller like this:
```
public ActionResult Index()
{
var viewModel = new SomeViewModel
{
Customer = Repository.GetCustomer(),
PossibleLocations = Repository.GetLocations()
};
return View(viewModel);
}
```
and then you can access everything in your Customer object in the view like this:
```
Customer name - <%: Model.Customer.FirstName %> <%: Model.Customer.LastName %>
Location - <%: Html.DropDownList("LocationID", new SelectList(Model.PossibleLocations as IEnumerable, "LocationID", "LocationName", Model.Location.LocationID))%>

1,023,967 | On a Rails project, I'm using Sphinx together with Thinking Sphinx plugin. I index a table with an attribute :foo that is a float.
My desired behaviour when sorting for column :foo would be that nil values always appear at the end of the list, e.g.
```
id; foo (order foo desc)
-------
1; 5
2; 3
3; -4
4: -5
5: nil
6: nil
id; foo (order foo asc)
-------
4: -5
3; -4
2; 3
1; 5
5: nil
6: nil
```
If it was normal sql, I'd sort like:
```
:order => "(foo IS NULL) ASC, foo DESC"
```
But it seems not to be possible, as I think NULL values are translated to 0 (is that true?). Using sphinx ordering expressions seems not to sort my floats properly.

] | The solution you've provided is what I would suggest - as yes, you're correct, Sphinx treats NULLs as 0's. | One solution I came up with in the meantime is to index an extra attribute, like this:
```
define_index do
indexes foo, :sortable => true
has "foo IS NULL", :as => :foo_nil, :sortable => true
end
```
what lets me order like this
```
:order => "foo_nil ASC, foo DESC"
```
It's a bit clumsy, especially as I have many attributes that I want to have ordered like this. |

In Windows 7, the fonts aren't visible inside the File Explorer as opened by any other program. So, you'll need to copy the Fonts you want (whose normal, 'bold', 'italic' and 'bold italic' ttf files are clogged as one by Windows in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder under the typeface heading e.g. Verdana) into some other folder.
Now choose the file containing the 'normal' version of the typeface (the file named same as the typeface name), under 'Install Font' in iReport. Follow the wizard, add the other typeface versions and finish it.
After that, you need to make a jar extension and store it in a folder which preferable does not require Adminstrator permissions to perform an edit. You can't save it in the default folder shown unless you've opened iReport under Administrator permissions.
After saving it, manually transfer it to the default folder shown earlier, which is the place for storage of extensions to iReport, (Installation folder)\ireport\modules\ext\ (yourfontfile.jar).
After this process, open the iReport tab under Tools -> Options again in iReport, add the jar file to the classpath.

] | Obviously you are mixing VBO mode and VA mode. This is perfectly possible but must be use with care.
When you call:
```
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
```
This means that next time you render something with `glDrawElements(..., ..., ..., x)`, it will use x as a pointer on the indices data, and the last call to glVertexPointer points on the vertices data.
If you **don't** unbind the current VBO and IBO (with the above two glBindBuffer calls), this means that when rendering with the same glDrawElements, x will be use as an offset on the indices data **in the IBO**, and the last call to glVertexPointer as an offset on the vertices data **in the VBO**.
Depending values of x and glVertexPointer you can make the driver crash because the offsets go out of bounds and/or the underlying data is of the wrong type (NaN).
So for answering your question, after drawing with VBO mode and then drawing with VA mode:
1. unbind the current VBO
2. unbind the current IBO
3. specify the right vertices address with `glVertexPointer`
4. specify the right indices address with `glDrawElements`
and then it will be fine. | Bah! Found it. When I did
```
glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);
glBindBuffer(GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);

before rendering the flickering+crashing stopped. Is this the expected behavior? Sorry for wasting time and space. |

```
(function($) {
var index = -1;
jQuery.fn.nextElement = function() {
index = (index + 1) % this.length;

] | If you break up a large piece into multiple smaller pieces and properly glue them together, you basically add stiffeners (as a result of printing walls). This could lead to a more stiff model; this might have been confused by calling large prints more brittle opposed to constructed models.
If printing is conducted at similar conditions on large printers, there shouldn't be a reason why the model becomes more brittle unless the conditions aren't the same. But that would be true for printing at small printers too, e.g. if one print was printed in a draft. | I'd recommend getting the object to fit together by design, rather than glue - though I tend (if the item is never to be disassembled) use Zap-a-gap - that stuff sticks like crazy though you must not squeeze the parts together but let it naturally sit. |

[See this for it.](http://phpsec.org/projects/guide/) | If you put the values in the database then you have to worry about SQL Injection. If you aren't using parametrized quires, then you might have a serious problem with SQL Injection and moving the values to the database could be a bad idea due to this increased attack surface. In MySQL SQL injection can be used to read files like val.php, make sure your web application doesn't have "FILE" privileges. You also have to make sure your privileges are setup properly on this file. `chmod 750` is a good one of this file, the last number 0 denies all access to everyone that isn't you or in your group.
by keeping the values in val.php you still have to worry about directory traversal vulnerabilities like this:
```
print file_get_contents("/var/www/whatever/".$_GET['FILE_NAME']);
```
Go though your code and pay attention to where you are reading and writing to files. Make sure you aren't passing in user control variables.

If it's not the array that's bothering you but the fact that you have to work with an array inside the function, try
```
function my_function($array)
{
extract($array);
...
if (isset($number)) echo "Number is: ".$number;
}

```
my_function(array("number" => "one")); // Will output "Number is: one"

function keysAndValues($items) {
/* ... */

keysAndValues(
'key1' => 'value1',

to make sure you have the trailing 0's. | There is a problem with the `Math.round` solution when trying to round to a negative number of decimal places. Consider the code

double mul = Math.pow(10,dp);
double res = Math.round(l * mul) / mul;

100 rounded to -2 dp = 100.0
1000 rounded to -3 dp = 1000.0
10000 rounded to -4 dp = 10000.0

1000000 rounded to -6 dp = 1000000.0
10000000 rounded to -7 dp = 1.0E7
100000000 rounded to -8 dp = 1.0E8
1000000000 rounded to -9 dp = 9.999999999999999E8
```
The problem with -5 decimal places occur when dividing 1 by 1.0E-5 which is inexact.
This can be fixed using
```
double mul = Math.pow(10,dp);
double res;
if(dp < 0 ) {
double div = Math.pow(10,-dp);
res = Math.round(l * mul) *div;
} else {

] | As some others have noted, the correct answer is to use either `DecimalFormat` or `BigDecimal`. Floating-point doesn't *have* decimal places so you cannot possibly round/truncate to a specific number of them in the first place. You have to work in a decimal radix, and that is what those two classes do.
I am posting the following code as a counter-example to all the answers in this thread and indeed all over StackOverflow (and elsewhere) that recommend multiplication followed by truncation followed by division. It is incumbent on advocates of this technique to explain why the following code produces the wrong output in over 92% of cases.
```
public class RoundingCounterExample
{
static float roundOff(float x, int position)
{
float a = x;
double temp = Math.pow(10.0, position);
a *= temp;
a = Math.round(a);
return (a / (float)temp);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
float a = roundOff(0.0009434f,3);
System.out.println("a="+a+" (a % .001)="+(a % 0.001));
int count = 0, errors = 0;
for (double x = 0.0; x < 1; x += 0.0001)
{
count++;
double d = x;
int scale = 2;
double factor = Math.pow(10, scale);
d = Math.round(d * factor) / factor;
if ((d % 0.01) != 0.0)
{
System.out.println(d + " " + (d % 0.01));
errors++;
}
}
System.out.println(count + " trials " + errors + " errors");
}
}
```
Output of this program:
```
10001 trials 9251 errors
```
**EDIT:** To address some comments below I redid the modulus part of the test loop using `BigDecimal` and `new MathContext(16)` for the modulus operation as follows:
```
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int count = 0, errors = 0;
int scale = 2;
double factor = Math.pow(10, scale);
MathContext mc = new MathContext(16, RoundingMode.DOWN);
for (double x = 0.0; x < 1; x += 0.0001)
{
count++;
double d = x;
d = Math.round(d * factor) / factor;
BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(d, mc);
bd = bd.remainder(new BigDecimal("0.01"), mc);
if (bd.multiply(BigDecimal.valueOf(100)).remainder(BigDecimal.ONE, mc).compareTo(BigDecimal.ZERO) != 0)
{
System.out.println(d + " " + bd);
errors++;
}
}
System.out.println(count + " trials " + errors + " errors");
}
```
Result:
```
10001 trials 4401 errors
``` | This was the simplest way I found to display only two decimal places.

double x = 123.123;
System.out.printf( "%.2f", x );

The internal implemetation of this method is:

}
public static double round(double x, int scale, int roundingMethod) {
try {
return (new BigDecimal

.doubleValue();
} catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
if (Double.isInfinite(x)) {
return x;
} else {
return Double.NaN;
}
}
}
``` | The code snippet below shows how to display n digits. The trick is to set variable pp to 1 followed by n zeros. In the example below, variable pp value has 5 zeros, so 5 digits will be displayed.
```
double pp = 10000;
double myVal = 22.268699999999967;
String needVal = "22.2687";
double i = (5.0/pp);
String format = "%10.4f";
String getVal = String.format(format,(Math.round((myVal +i)*pp)/pp)-i).trim();

153,724 | What I would like is a method to convert a double to a string which rounds using the half-up method - i.e. if the decimal to be rounded is 5, it always rounds up to the next number. This is the standard method of rounding most people expect in most situations.
I also would like only significant digits to be displayed - i.e. there should not be any trailing zeroes.
I know one method of doing this is to use the `String.format` method:
```
String.format("%.5g%n", 0.912385);
```
returns:
```
0.91239
```
which is great, however it always displays numbers with 5 decimal places even if they are not significant:
```
String.format("%.5g%n", 0.912300);
```
returns:
```
0.91230
```
Another method is to use the `DecimalFormatter`:
```
DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.#####");
df.format(0.912385);
```
returns:
```
0.91238
```
However as you can see this uses half-even rounding. That is it will round down if the previous digit is even. What I'd like is this:
```
0.912385 -> 0.91239
0.912300 -> 0.9123
```

**Edit**: Added round brackets. Casts the whole result to double, not the first argument only! | Keep in mind that String.format() and DecimalFormat produce string using default Locale. So they may write formatted number with dot or comma as a separator between integer and decimal parts. To make sure that rounded String is in the format you want use java.text.NumberFormat as so:
```
Locale locale = Locale.ENGLISH;
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance(locale);
// for trailing zeros:
nf.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);
// round to 2 digits:
nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
System.out.println(nf.format(.99));
System.out.println(nf.format(123.567));
System.out.println(nf.format(123.0));
```
Will print in English locale (no matter what your locale is):
0.99
123.57
123.00

] | **Update based on comments:**
**Short version:** It doesn't matter much, but it may depend on what they host. They all host different things: Google doesn't host jQuery.Validate, Microsoft did not host jQuery-UI, since 2016 they do!!, Microsoft offers their scripts that would otherwise be served via `ScriptResource.axd` and an easier integration (e.g. [ScriptManager with ASP.Net 4.0](http://weblogs.asp.net/infinitiesloop/archive/2009/11/23/asp-net-4-0-scriptmanager-improvements.aspx)).
**Important Note:** If you're building an intranet application, stay away from the CDN approach. It doesn't matter who's hosting it, unless you're on a **very** overloaded server internally, no CDN will give you more performance than local 100mb/1GB ethernet will. If you use a CDN for a strictly internal application you're **hurting performance**. [Set your cache expiration headers correctly](http://code.google.com/speed/page-speed/docs/caching.html) and ignore CDNs exist in the intranet-only scenario.
The chances of either being blocked seems to be about equal, almost zero. I have worked on contracts where this isn't true, but it seems to be an exception. Also, since the original posting of this answer, the context surrounding it has changed greatly, the Microsoft CDN has made a lot of progress.
The project I'm currently on uses both CDNs which works best for our solution. Several factors play into this. Users with an **older browser** are still probably making 2 simultaneous requests per domain [as recommended by the HTTP specification](http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html). This isn't an issue for anyone running anything decently new that [supports pipelining](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_pipelining) (every current browser), but based on another factor we're knocking out this limitation as well, at least as far as the javascript.
Google's CDN we're using for:
* [jquery.min.js](http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.0/jquery.min.js)
* [jquery-ui.min.js](http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.7.2/jquery-ui.min.js).
Microsoft's CDN we're using for:
* [MicrosoftAjax.js](http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/beta/0911/MicrosoftAjax.js)
* [MicrosoftAjaxWebForms.js](http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/beta/0911/MicrosoftAjaxWebForms.js) (until 4.0 we're not completely removing all UpdatePanels)
* [jQuery.Validate.min.js](http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery.Validate/1.6/jQuery.Validate.min.js)
Our server:
* Combined.js?v=2.2.0.6190 (Major.Minor.Iteration.Changeset)
Since part of our build process is combining and minifying all custom javascript, we do this via a custom script manager that includes the release or debug (non-minified) versions of these scripts depending on the build. Since Google doesn't host the jQuery validation package, this can be a down-side. MVC is including/using this in their 2.0 release, so you could rely completely on Microsoft's CDN for all your needs, [and all of it automatic via the ScriptManager](http://weblogs.asp.net/infinitiesloop/archive/2009/11/23/asp-net-4-0-scriptmanager-improvements.aspx).
The only other argument to be made would be DNS times, there is a cost to this in terms of page load speed. **On Average:** Simply because it's used more (it's been around longer) `ajax.googleapis.com` is likely to be returned by DNS sooner than `ajax.microsoft.com`, simply because the local DNS server was more likely to get a request for it (this is a first user in the area penalty). This is a **very** minor thing and should only be considered if performance is extremely important, down to the millisecond.
*(Yes: I realize this point is contrary to my using both CDNs, but in our case the DNS time is far overshadowed by the wait time on the javascript/blocking that occurs)*
Last, if you haven't looked at it, one of the best tools out there is [Firebug](http://getfirebug.com/), and some plug-ins for it: [Page Speed](http://getfirebug.com/) and [YSlow](http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/). If you use a CDN but your pages are requesting images every time because of no cache-headers, you're missing the low-hanging fruit. Firebug's Net panel can quickly give you a quick breakdown of your page load-time, and Page Speed/YSlow can offer some good suggestions to help. | You should absolutely use the Google CDN for jQuery (and this is coming from a Microsoft-centric developer).
It's simple statistics. Those who would consider using the MS CDN for jQuery will always be a minority. There are too many non-MS developers using jQuery who will use Google's and wouldn't consider using Microsoft's. Since [one of the big wins with a public CDN is improved caching](http://encosia.com/3-reasons-why-you-should-let-google-host-jquery-for-you/), splitting usage among multiple CDNs decreases the potential for that benefit. |

] | My answer is bit different than others, I will go with microsoft if you need jquery validator which almost everyone need if you are using jquery.
Microsoft CDN http connection is Keep-Alive which is big plus when you are requesting multiple items.
So if you need jquery validation then use Microsoft CDN, even if you need jquery ui use microsoft because google not not keeping keep-alive so every request are on it's own. so mixing in that way is plus. if you are using microsoft only for validator then you are doing seperate connection with google server for each request. | Also consider when using Google CDN that some times people make typos such as ajax.googelapis.com. This could potentially create a really nasty xss (cross site scripting) attack. I have actually tested this out by registering a googlapis.com typo and very quickly found myself serving requests for javascript, maps, css etc.
I emailed Google and asked them to register similar CDN typo URL's but have not heard back. This could be a real reason not to rely on CDN's because there are potentially dangerous attackers awaiting the typo requests and can easily serve back jquery etc with an xss payload.

For example, when you include Google Analytics in a secure application, the browser still sends the current URL as the "referer" header. Any identifiers, say a session id or secret token may appear in their logs. For example, if a client IP of 192.0.2.5references <https://healthsystem.example/condition/impotence>, then well, you can infer information which is considered to be rather private.
Other cases include information of consequence, such as an account number, social security number or session information in the URL. That sort of data should never be in the URL as it can be used outside of the application.
While you may trust Google, Microsoft or Yahoo, your users may not.
For industries like Finance, Legal and Health Care, you may want to establish your own CDN with the help of a vendor (e.g. Akamai) with which you can sign a BAA. |

* Microsoft is offering the **JQuery validation library** on their CDN, whereas Google is not (<http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/cdn.ashx>)
* Google is offering the **JQuery UI library** on their CDN, whereas Microsoft is not (<http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxlibs/documentation/>)
Depending on your needs, this may be relevant. | My answer is bit different than others, I will go with microsoft if you need jquery validator which almost everyone need if you are using jquery.
Microsoft CDN http connection is Keep-Alive which is big plus when you are requesting multiple items.
So if you need jquery validation then use Microsoft CDN, even if you need jquery ui use microsoft because google not not keeping keep-alive so every request are on it's own. so mixing in that way is plus. if you are using microsoft only for validator then you are doing seperate connection with google server for each request. |

] | You should absolutely use the Google CDN for jQuery (and this is coming from a Microsoft-centric developer).
It's simple statistics. Those who would consider using the MS CDN for jQuery will always be a minority. There are too many non-MS developers using jQuery who will use Google's and wouldn't consider using Microsoft's. Since [one of the big wins with a public CDN is improved caching](http://encosia.com/3-reasons-why-you-should-let-google-host-jquery-for-you/), splitting usage among multiple CDNs decreases the potential for that benefit. | Google will send you a jQuery version minified with their own software, this version is 6kb lighter than the standard minified version served by MS.

If your site is targeted for general public, then using Google's CDN would be a good choice.
If your site is also targeted at China, then using Microsoft's CDN would be a better choice.
I know from my experience, as Google's servers kept getting blocked by the Chinese government, rendering websites that uses them un-loadable.
\*Note that you can of cos create region specific sites, e.g. cn.mysite.com to cater specifically for China, but if you're low on resources and time, its worth a consideration.

They have since renamed to **ajax.aspnetcdn.com**, which reduces the likelihood of blockage by firewall rules. |
2,148,144 | So let's say I have a red square image that turns green when the mouse goes over it, and it turns back to red when the mouse leaves the square. I then made a menu sort of thing with it so that when I hover on the square, it turns green and a rectangle appears below it.

] | 1. It seems like your second version only reads one chunk, while the first version reads the whole file - this would explain the big speedup. **Edit**: Another issue: I just noticed that you run `for lines in data` for no reason - this would actually encrypt the characters individually, which is much slower. Instead, just pass the data to `encrypt` directly.
2. There is no point in starting more CPU-heavy threads than you have processor cores.
3. The threads can only work in parallel if they call an extension module which unlocks the GIL while running. I don't think PyCrypto does this, so you won't get any parallel work done here.
4. If the bottleneck was disk performance, you wouldn't see much of an improvement here anyway - in that case it would be better to have one thread that does disk I/O and another to do the encryption. GIL wouldn't be an issue since it is released while doing disk I/O. | Threads are not a magical way to speed up programs - splitting work into threads will usually slow it down unless the program is spending a significant part of its time waiting for I/O. Each new thread adds more overhead to the code in splitting the work up, and more overhead in the OS in switching between threads.
In theory if you are running on a multi-processor CPU then the threads could be run on different processors so the work is done in parallel, but even then there is no point in having more threads than processors.
In practice it is quite different, at least for the C version of Python. The GIL does not work well at all with multiple processors. See this [presentation](http://blip.tv/file/2232410/) by David Beazley for the reasons why. IronPython and Jython do not have this problem.
If you really want to parallelize the work then it is better to spawn multiple processes and farm the work out to them, but there is the possibility that the inter-process communication overhead of passing around large blocks of data will negate any benefit of parallelism. |

1. They only provide speedup if they allow you to get multiple pieces of hardware working at the same time on your problem, whether that hardware is CPU cores or disk heads.
2. They allow you to keep track of multiple sequences of I/O events that would be much more complicated without them, such as simultaneous conversations with multiple users.
