Why Does Java not see 0 or 1 as false and true

hello,
all other languages i have worked with see a 0 and 1 as a true or false value
for instance...in perl this would be the case
if ( 0 ) same of javas if ( false )
or
if ( 1 ) same as javas if ( true )
same with javascript
im am asking if there is a way in java to use the boolean type or object in this way. seems strange to me to store "true" or "false" as a varchar in a database when with all other languages you can store 0 or 1...faster to store int's

Many of the differences the creators of Java made in the language were to address what they saw as problematic features in other languages. This is one of those cases.
How many nasty, hard-to-find bugs in C or Perl do you think have been caused by this kind of mistake: int cnt ;
cnt = howMany() ;
if (cnt = 0) /* whoops: should be == */
[/code

Why does Lightroom not see my teathered camera in Windows 8?

When I teather my Nikon D300 in Lightroom 4, It seem as the Windows 8 operating systems takes over the function and Lightroom does not automatically open captured image. Instead, Windows' picture window appears. I have not been able to figure out how to override the windows function so that Lightroom opens the captured image. Need Help!!!

Where is that in the menu...couldn't locate it?

Why does Find not see a visible file at Volume level?

I recently searched (Find) my iMac's internal hard drive for a file that I knew I had created ("MAC addresses.doc"), but it found no such file, either by File Name or Contents. I had to try to remember where I filed it, and then I found it in [Macintosh HD] > Library > Documentation > User Guides and Information. Searching (Find) again at the level of any folder within the volume, even Library, finds the file immediately, both by File Name and Content. The file has no unusual properties, and its Permissions allow everyone to at least Read it. This occurs even after repairing permissions of the volume. Why should the OS be unable to Find this file for me when searched on the volume name? Should I change some setting/preference in order to allow that (all files to be found at Volume level)?

Thanks Frank,
SYSTEM_PARAMETER is a table owned by X. If I qualify the select statement by adding the owner it works, but of course I do not want to do that. Here is the DDL for creating SYSTEM_PARAMETER:
create table SYSTEM_PARAMETER
name         VARCHAR2(256) not null,
date_value   DATE,
number_value NUMBER,
string_value VARCHAR2(512),
comments     VARCHAR2(512)
alter table SYSTEM_PARAMETER add constraint PK_SYSTEM_PARAMETER primary key (NAME);
Again, if I rewrite the procedure to the following (only difference is the red X.), it works:
create or replace procedure ztm_get_debug_level is
vc_pkg_name system_parameter.name%TYPE := 'DEBUG_LEVEL_PKG_BASE_KEYS';
vn_error     services.debug_log_level.debug_level_id%TYPE := 30;
v_debugLevel   system_parameter.number_value%TYPE;
function get_owner return varchar2 is
    cursor c1 is
    select owner from all_tables where table_name = 'SYSTEM_PARAMETER';
    v_Ret_Val VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
    OPEN C1;
    FETCH C1 INTO v_Ret_Val;
    CLOSE C1;
    RETURN v_Ret_Val;
END;
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('AAAA - ' || get_owner);
select s.number_value
into   v_debugLevel
from   X.system_parameter s
where s.name = vc_pkg_name;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('BBBB');
exception
when no_data_found then
    NULL;
when others then
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('p_get_debug_level.WHEN OTHERS');
   raise;
end;
This procedure exists in 4 other environments where there are no issues. It can't be a privileges issue as the table is owned by user X and as you can see by the lookup (which was added for debug) against ALL_TABLES the owner is clearly X. So, why can X not select from it's own table unless we include the owner?
Thanks,
Thomas

HT201413 Why does iTunes not see my iPod when connected?

My computer does not see my ipod when I connect it to it. Nor does it come up in iTunes. How can I sync my music with this problem going on?

Try one or more of the following:
> Restart your computer
> Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iDevice Settings (will not delete everything)
> Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if your iDevice shows (should show as a digital camera)
> Restore iDevice completely (will delete everything)
> Make sure both iTunes and iOS firmware is Up-To-Date
iPod Classic driver not recognized in Windows 7. Tried to "troubleshoot," message says "Not Fixed." No recommendations - Microsoft Answers
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
Hope this helps.

Why does Java not have a RealNumber class?

This is a question that continues to bug me.
There is Number. Double, Float, Int ... all extends Number and then
implement Comparable independently.
I know plenty of Math geeks troll this group. I know why Number is not
Comparable, but number has methods like: "doubleValue()"
What I would love is something like:
public abstract class RealNumber<T> extends Number implements
Comparable<T> {
public class Double extends RealNumber<Double> {
// impement comparable <double>
public class Integer extends RealNumber<Integer> {
// impement comparable <Integer>
That way I could do ... Set<RealNumber> someSet = new
TreeSet<RealNumber>();
I don't care which type they are, as long as they are all the same and
I can't do <Number> because they aren't comparable.
And, I already know I can do:
Set<Number> someSet = new TreeSet<Number>(new Comparator<Number>() {
int compare(Number a, Number b) {return a.doublValue() -
b.doubleValue());}
But this has the inherent flaw of precision issues between Integer
and, say Double that this would mask.
I am tempted to actually implement this exact solution for my problem
space through delegation but I am hesitant that there might be some
hidden number theory problem with this approach.
I will have to work with numbers and perform basic mathematical steps on
them but I won't know which types until runtime. What I am working on
will not know if it will be Integer Double, etc. So, unless I want to
make methods for all those types (and then types I don't know about --
like subclasses of BigDecimal) I would like to just have (in a perfect
world) a method like
NUM_T extends RealNumber
public void doJob(NUM_T a, NUM_T b) {
a / b;
I want to polymorphically encapsulate mathematical operations without
having to overload the same method for everytype. I understand that
isn't possible now, and so, that is what I am asking.
If I had a class called "RealNumber" that I could count on for these
basic ops, I would be set. I am looking for education though, not lecture.
Thoughts?

Number doesn't implement Comparable, but maybe something like this could help you:
public static <T extends Number & Comparable<? super T>> void doJob( List<T> numbers ) {
}But I'm afraid I don't quite understand your problem. The type declaration above may answer your question about Comparable and Number, but from looking at this code snippet
public void doJob(NUM_T a, NUM_T b) {
a / b;
}I assume you're looking for a way to invoke a mathematical operator on two numbers of the same type. This is not possible because there is no interface that declares methods for these operators - there is Comparable which declares compareTo(), but not Dividable which declares divideBy().

Why does Finder not see files on formatted DVD-RW?

I recently did a drag and drop of more than 90 text and pdf files onto a formatted DVD-RW. The DVD now shows up as a blank disc. I swear that I managed to add a couple of files and see them in Finder at least twice. How do I get back into the files? Disc was formatted for RW using Disc Utility which still sees the 1.7 GB of data on the disc in Info. What happened?

Thanks Lex:
I don't think Invisible will help. Because I left the DVD-RW open after dragging and dropping files onto it there is no lead-out and the optical drive sees it only as a blank disc. Somehow I got back into the disk before but since the last OS update 10.8.4 I am unable to get the disc to mount. Seems I remember Bonjour finding and opening it once. Nothing since. Right now I'm leaning toward recreating the archive disc and then closing it as a data disc so I can mount it. I recall doing this open RW in years past so I could continually add other files until the disc was full. Protocols must have changed. Bob Mehaffey

ITunes says 3.2.2 is current for iPad. Why does it not see the new 4.2

My computer is running Vista. I have been using the newest iTunes 10.1.0.54 for a while now, but when I plug my iPad in, iTunes tells me that my iPad is up to date with 3.2.2.
Can anyone shed some light on why it's saying this. I have no other way of downloading the new OS?

If history is to be trusted, it should hit at roughly noon my time (central). So 10:00 by Cupertino time. Sorry, I don't know about UK time zones. I would say 8 more minutes, give or take an hour.

Why does ios7 not have the date (month, day and day of week at the top of the screen? I have to bounce back to home page every time I need the date. Perhaps someone can answer or pass this on to ios7 group!

Anyone figure out how to let ios7 find the time zone it is in? The little spoked wheel just keeps going round and round.

The return policy of the retailer where you purchased your iPad governs.
If you bought from Apple, their policy would apply; since you purchased
from other retailer, you must deal with them. No cheating is involved. Apple
does not control the retailer. Take the retailer to court if you wish.

I wanted to make it clear that I am not talking about the publically accessible Amazon Store but the Amazon Web Store which is used for those who have an online shop or set up e-commerce.
The fact that Amazon is a large company does not protect it from making a crappy site. If its e-commerce pages don't work in Safari, that's laziness on the part of their web developers, pure and simple. There's no reason for a modern web site to fail to work in any standards-compliant web browser. This is something you'll need to address with Amazon.

Why does brasero not burn a DVD?

I have a DVD to burn, but every time I run Brasero I get a message to insert an empty disk or otherwise it will attempt to make an image. With the empty disk inserted seems like brasero does not see the device and disk.
With my external DVD writer connected I can't burn anything to it. The user is added to optical group and the device is found. Growisofs however works with the provided path. Why does brasero not see the writer and how do I make it burn the dvd?

A likely cause of this error is that some program did not report memory usage correctly to the OS.
This ARTICLE will give tips on finding "clues" as to what was happening at that moment. Chances are good that that program, or Process is identified somewhere in the Event Viewer. Now, be prepared to do a bit of reading, but follow EVERY link in any of the error, or warning messages.
Good luck,

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

Why does Java have such a large footprint?

I've been curious about this topic for a while, but I haven't ever looked into this to any depth. I also posted this to stackoverflow but haven't gotten any solid responses so far:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1107991/why-does-java-have-such-a-large-footprint
Java - or at least Sun's Hotspot JVM - has long had a reputation for having a very large memory footprint. What exactly is it about the JVM that gives it this reputation? I'd be interested in a detailed breakdown: how much memory goes to the runtime? (The JIT? The GC/memory management? The classloader?) Anything related to "auxiliary" APIs like JNI/JVMTI? The standard libraries? (Which parts get how much?) Any other major components?
I realize that this may not be straightforward to answer without a concrete application plus VM configuration, so just to narrow things down at least somewhat: I'm primarily interested in default/typical VM configurations, and in a baseline console "Hello world" app as well as any real-world desktop or server app. (I'm suspecting that a substantial part of the JVM's footprint is largely independent of the app itself, and it is in this part that I'd like to zoom in, ideally.)
I have a couple of other closely related questions:
Other similar technology, such as .NET/mono, don't exhibit nearly the same footprint. Why is this the case?
I've read somewhere on the intarwebs that a large portion of the footprint is due simply to the size of the standard libraries. If this is the case, then why is so much of the standard libraries being loaded up front?
Are there any efforts (JSRs, whatever) to tame the memory footprint? The closest thing I've come across is a project to reduce the on-disk footprint of the JVM [1] and to modularize the standard library [2].
I'm sure that the footprint has varied over the past decade or so with every new version of Java. Are there any specific numbers/charts chronicling precisely how the JVM's footprint has changed?

Presumably versus some other VM. I would suppose the fact that much of the VM is written in java has something to do with it.

Not sure I agree with that. What size do you see with a .Net app that uses 3.0/3.5?
I've read somewhere on the intarwebs that a large portion of the footprint is due simply to the size of the standard libraries. If this is the case, then why is so much of the standard libraries being loaded up front?
Good question. There is a feature that allows multiple VMs to use the same memory footprint version of the loaded libraries. That is a new feature and it isn't clear to me if it covers the entire API. I do not know if that is dynamically built.

Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.
