How to save data from VapourSynth

You need to use vspipe.exe from Vapour distributive

It seems it returns raw data to stdout

Tables in Latex. Multiline, right alignment

I used tabularx package.
Additional definitions:

\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{L}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X} % left multiline alignment
\newcolumntype{R}{>{\raggedleft\arraybackslash}X}  % right multiline alignment

Table:

\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{@{}p{0.8\linewidth} R}
 Text, aligned to the left, without margin \newline
 Tex in the same cell on the next line   
 &                                          % next column delimiter
 Text aligned to the right \newline second line
\end{tabularx}

Here we have one columt with 80% width and one column with right alignment
@{} is required to suppress left margin in the first column.

How?

How does start menu in Win7 select the most useless new application i've installed?

There were some troubles while recording ConEmu software

Portable version is available

Works well

Temporary files format that can be deleted from project of Visual Studio 2010

Add to .gitignore:

• *.ipch 
• Debug
• Release
• *.sdf - The SDF file is your code browsing database which uses SQL Sever Compact Edition. You don't need to copy this SDF file while you move your project, and it will be automatically populated in the new location once you open your project.

Migrating from SVN to Git and Mercurial

There is a lot of answers here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/79165/how-to-migrate-svn-with-history-to-a-new-git-repository

I found rather useful this one.
A guy made a script according to proposed instructions: https://github.com/onepremise/SGMS

This script will convert projects stored in SVN with the following format:

/trunk
  /Project1
  /Project2
/branches
     /Project1
     /Project2
/tags
 /Project1
 /Project2
This scheme is also popular and supported as well:

/Project1
     /trunk
     /branches
     /tags
/Project2
     /trunk
     /branches
     /tags
Each project will get synchronized over by project name:

Ex: ./migration https://svnurl.com/basepath project1
If you wish to convert the full repo over, use the following syntax:

Ex: ./migration https://svnurl.com/basepath .



I tested on the second structure type and it works. The question is only about saving merge structure. It seems it was lost. :( Branches are ok, but merged revisions are not marked as merged. In other words every revision has single parent

Things about C++

1. rules for resolving calls to overloaded functions: 
• identify the function that's the best match for the call (name, parameters etc)
• checks accessibility for the best-match function.

Resolving function overloads (my)

Private inheritance

Example from Meyers "Effective C++"

class Timer {
public:
explicit Timer(int tickFrequency);
virtual void onTick() const; // Called automatically for each tic, 
// onTick() must be redefined to do things
...
};


class Widget: private Timer { // private inheritance
private:
virtual void onTick() const; // redefined to make job done
... 
};

Now clients of Widget get interface untouched and required job is done

Example of protecting method from redefinition in derived classes:

class Widget {
private:
    class WidgetTimer: public Timer {
    public:
        virtual void onTick() const;
        ...
    };
    WidgetTimer timer;
    ...
};

Classes derived from Widget unable to redefine onClick. Analogue of final in Java and sealed in C#
