Programming Theory Help

Hello all,
It's strange that I Google searched and found no answer because even Microsoft has asked their community for opinions on changing this sometimes confusing initialism.

Generally...
SDL = Secure Development Lifecycle
SDLC = Software Development Lifecycle (supported by Microsoft)

But my question is really about what are the differences between the two lifecycles? That is the question that I was surprised not to easily find in a Google search. It's like I am the first person, ever, to ask this question. LOL

I think I know the difference, but I don't want to influence my thoughts in this question.

Thank you. :)

Learn SQL Server Core 2016

LVL 13

This course will introduce you to SQL Server Core 2016, as well as teach you about SSMS, data tools, installation, server configuration, using Management Studio, and writing and executing queries.

In short, one company is saying another company has stolen source code.

I have been independently contracted to make this determination.

My first thought was to do a text compare via command line. However, I wanted to reach out to the community to see if there are any suggestions. I know I can write something myself to do this, but I was curious if there was anything “off the shelf” that I could use to assist.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am developing an Electronic Medical Records application which should connect to medical equipment to get the data emitted by this equipment and save it to database.

The equipment also prints the data on a paper.

How can I design a solution by which if the connection from the computer to the equipment is lost, the doctor should be able to enter the data on the paper to the GUI of the App.

I have an application which implements a state machine based on StateForge (StateBuilderCpp) generator. A state machine is defined as asynchronous and uses boost in the generated code:

<settings asynchronous="true" library="boost">

Open in new window

Actions (implemented methods) are very fast but are called frequently - events are triggered with 10ms intervals. State machine uses boost ioservice.

I run the application on a single core atom processor. Generally that pc is strongly utilized by others applications and I have noticed that sometimes when a cpu has a high iowait a dozen or so events are queued. Is it coincidence ? How to explains such behaviour ?

I am currently studying software development at a university part-time. I also have to learn UML which I am having difficulties with because I cannot see any vocational relevance.
Where I work, we work agile and I was told that we do not have time to draw diagrams for hours and then make changes to it whenever the code changes.

Does anyone still use UML or is it only used in academia; that is: in research, study etc..

I assume that UML was used when working in the "waterfall model"?

How much effort do you Experts think should go into defensively 'protecting' a text input field (which will be used to obtain key search terms for a text search) from (possibly) irrelevant input from the operator, such as too many space characters, punctuation and other tokens which might not be helpful to an effective search strategy ? I'm relatively ok with implementing methods that are considered helpful, so this is not a request for coding assistance, but rather about approach and real-life search term management and oversight. (I suppose another way of putting the same point it that I wish to avoid second-guessing the inputter whose attempts may well be valid, but look odd in plain discrete standalone terms. Thanks for any suggestions along these lines.

Need to implement Spring Security for a project.

Option1:

Structure: User table, Permission table, Module table and PermissionGroup table
User will have only one permission group.
Permission table will have read/write/update etc.,
Module will be product/sales/order
Permission group table will be product - read/write, sales - read/write/update

Option2:

Structure: User table, Roles table, Permission table,
User can have 1 role
Permission table will have as product_read, product_write, sales_read, sales_write

Comments on Option2:

We can able to use Spring hasRole() kind of configuration for each method and can associate a role to it.
Drawback: We cannot have dynamic roles as we can able to do it option1

Comments on Option1:

We can have dynamic groups however we cannot use spring hasRole(). Instead we need to get the manual decisions based on the http request - PUT/GET/POST and check for the permissions configured and decide whether to allow the URL or not in the interceptor.

Drawback:

This may not be a standard practice
What would be the best approach out of this two as well as preferable one?

Thanks.

We have a program that was originally a WinForms program. We converted it to WPF and MVVM. Problem is the VIewModel for the window is still 3000 lines. It's difficult to maintain because I'm always jumping around the file trying to find related parts.

I'm wondering if there's a better way to consolidate this, perhaps different parts could be split into different files.

The window has a toolbar, with several buttons on it, and a couple TextBoxes. There's buttons like Play, Pause, Stop, Open File, Save File, typical stuff. A couple textboxes users can enter times in.

The ViewModel has a Play command, a Pause command, a Stop command, an Open File command, a Save File command. There's a property for TextBox1, and a property for TextBox2. The properties send notifications when they are changed. Standard stuff.

It all just becomes a lot when it's all placed together in the same ViewModel file. Even worse, our coding standard dictates that all fields should go in one place, while all Properties go in another place, so whenever I look at a property, the corresponding field is somewhere else if I want to look at it.

If I'm trying to trace the Play button, for example, the ViewModel constructor sets up the PlayCommand. The PlayCommand variable however is defined elsewhere. The constructor just sets it. Then the Play() method it calls is elsewhere in the file, and the CanPlay method is elsewhere. And mixed in with this all is the code …

json encoding

import org.json.simple.JSONObject;

class JsonEncodeDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args){
      JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();

      obj.put("name", "foo");
      obj.put("num", new Integer(100));
      obj.put("balance", new Double(1000.21));
      obj.put("is_vip", new Boolean(true));

      System.out.print(obj);
   }
}
On compiling and executing the above program the following result will be generated −

{"balance": 1000.21, "num":100, "is_vip":true, "name":"foo"}

Open in new window

what above example doing
is it encoding jsonobject to java object?
i see output also seems like json to me?

Following is another example that shows a JSON object streaming using Java JSONObject −

import org.json.simple.JSONObject;

class JsonEncodeDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args){
	
      JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();

      obj.put("name","foo");
      obj.put("num",new Integer(100));
      obj.put("balance",new Double(1000.21));
      obj.put("is_vip",new Boolean(true));

      StringWriter out = new StringWriter();
      obj.writeJSONString(out);
      
      String jsonText = out.toString();
      System.out.print(jsonText);
   }
}
On compiling and executing the above program, the following result is generated −

{"balance": 1000.21, "num":100, "is_vip":true, "name":"foo"}

how above one is differen from first one?

Keyword matching software

Consider algos/softwares that take keywords in one document and match them (possibly a kind of set intersection) with keywords in N other documents, possibly producing a match ranking.

a. Is there a specific name for this?
b. Are there implementations in Java and PHP?

Example use cases would be

patients submitting a list of symptoms and then software looking for matches against known conditions
applicants submitting skillsets and looking for potential job matches
dating websites

See this code:

$piece1 = $test;
$piece2 = "";
$piece3 = "";
$ln = strlen($test);
if ($ln > 84) {

	$arrayWords = explode(' ', $test);

// Max size of each line
	$maxLineLength = 84;

// Auxiliar counters, foreach will use them
	$currentLength = 0;
	$index = 0;

	foreach ($arrayWords as $word) {
    // +1 because the word will receive back the space in the end that it loses in explode()
		$wordLength = strlen($word) + 1;

		if (($currentLength + $wordLength) <= $maxLineLength) {
			$arrayOutput[$index] .= $word . ' ';

			$currentLength += $wordLength;
		} else {
			$index += 1;

			$currentLength = $wordLength;

			$arrayOutput[$index] = $word . ' ';
		}
	}
	$piece1 = $arrayOutput[0];
	$piece2 = $arrayOutput[1];
	$piece3 = $arrayOutput[2];
}

Open in new window

This works perfectly, except I need a variation where I can limit the FIRST line ($arrayOutput[0]) to 84 & the subsequent lines to 94. See attached image for visual of this need. The text is printed using a pdf generator on an existing form image (with the word Remarks & the lines.)

How can I do this?

Thank you

eclipse call hierarchy

If i do Control+Alt+H on eclipse java class method say methodA() it does show call hierarchy of who is(lets say methodB()) calling that method (methodA())

If i do control Alt H on methodB() it shows methodC() which is calling methodC()

my question is how to find by selecting methodC() that methodB() is its parent method and methodA() its grand parent method.

i mean to debug upward as well not just downward using call hierarchy.
is there is a way i can do both ways?

Hello, I have the following code while practising for loop but what I don't understand is, why we have a loop inside a loop?? what's the deal here?

<?php

// Create a script to construct the following pattern, using a nested for loop

Hello,

I am looking to create a web-based application that, at a later date, may have a supporting windows program and mobile app (but not for phase 1).

I was considering the language to write the code in and which one would be best and was looking for your advice. These were the high-level requirements.

Will utilize a back-end database.
Will need to create PDFs based on templates and information held in the database (i.e. like an order receipt).
Will need to create PowerPoint, Word and Excel documents based on templates and information held in the database (i.e. create a copy of the order in PowerPoint format).
Allow the user to view information in tables that can be edited directly in the table with a double click or similar.
Ability for the system to generate and send emails
The ability for the system to generate an email in Outlook and save in the user's draft folder.

It would be great to get your thoughts on this given the high-level requirements.

I love the notion that my REST web service could deliver a complete UI to the client, which that the client could then display complete functionality inside a window, on their own site. What's kind of client/server relationship is this?

Is this what Code-On-Demand does?

Does it return HTML/JavaScript/CSS?

What kind of control is needed on the client to receive this? An iframe?

What kind of problems might there be with this kind of interaction?
