For years (literally), my application has suffered woes from poorly performing text to speech engines, in particular, the initialisation time when calling: tts = new TextToSpeech(context, myOnInitListener); The above can cause the UI to lag and if you search for 'Text to Speech initialization slow' on SO, you'll find many posts. The embedded high quality IVONA voices used to be the worst culprit, but the Google TTS engine has now taken the prize. Their most recent APK update, causes major lag on initialisation - No...

How to identify a user on iOS?
I am using LibGDX and for the Android version of my game I use the "Get Accounts" permission to identify a user by their Gmail address. Is their a similar way to identify a user for iOS? 3 AnswersAnswers 1 According to the App Store Guidelines, you shouldn't get user's personal data without obtaining the user's prior permission.

How Do I Set Up Visual Studio 2015 with SDL2 For Android, iOS, and Windows Development?
Visual Studio 2015 has integrated Android Emulator support. They even have a pre-made template to set up Windows Phone, Android, and iOS targets. It seems like there should be some way of setting up SDL 2.0 in the same solution to easily toggle between Android and Windows. I am really hoping for an existing template which includes SDL 2.0, or a tutorial on the subject. Where am I at right now? I have a working code base which I've been maintaining in visual studio 2015 based on SDL 2.0, Quite some time back I ported...
Show BASE64 video with node/express
So, bit of an odd problem. I have a bunch of media files saved as base64 strings in mongo, some are images, some are videos. I made an API for getting the media files: app.get('/api/media/:media_id', function (req, res) { media.findById(req.params.media_id) .exec(function (err, media) { if (err) { res.send(err); } var file = new Buffer(media.file, 'base64'); res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': media.type, 'Content-Transfer-Encoding': 'BASE64',...

PHP Azure OAuth JWT App Roles
I've created an application in an Azure AD from a manifest with several appRoles inside of it, and I can assign users to these roles. After a user completes the single sign on, returns to my application and I then request a JSON Web Token from their login. The problem is, there are no assigned roles listed in the token I get back from Azure, as it would suggest there's supposed to be here. Is there a configuration option I'm missing...
Internal ruby error in vim

How to bundle httrack into a python 3 executable
There is a great website copier that I would like to bundle in my executable, created with python 3 and py2exe. On the HTTrack official website in the FAQ section they say that there is a DLL/library version available. But I don't know where to start, or even how to use the DLL once it would be bundled in the executable. So how can I bundle httrack into a python 3 executable, and use its features to start copying websites?

Contact Framework equivalent to ABAddressBook.ABAddressBookRegisterExternalChangeCallback

Best performance in sampling repeated value from a grouped column
This question is about the functionality of first_value(), using another function or workaround. It is also about "little gain in performance" in big tables. To use eg. max() in the explained context below, demands spurious comparisons. Even if fast, it imposes some additional cost. This typical query SELECT x, y, count(*) as n FROM t GROUP BY x, y; needs to repeat all columns in GROUP BY to return more than one column. A syntactic sugar to do this, is to use positional references: SELECT x, y, count(*) as n ...

How to drag a row between other rows in UITableView or UICollectionView
I am trying to implement the view shown in the animation below: I found a great control called TGLStackedViewController which does almost what I need. The way it performs the moving is by taking a snapshot of the card you want to move and adding it as a subview to the collectionView, while hiding the original card. When dragging has stopped the movable view is removed and the original card is made visible again. This works well,...
