Back in the good old days I used to use a tool for file comparison with one incredible feature -- you open file1, file2, see a difference, no magic here. But then you could insert an empty line(s) into file1 with one keyboard combo and into file2 with another keyboard combo. So you could easily adjust how C / asm function are aligned in case the diff engine failed to recognize similar stuff. Of course, after the adjust (insertion / removal of one or more lines in either file) the whole diff was "recalculated".
I fail to find similar features in diff, KDiff, ... I'd prefer a Linux app but I'm OK with a Windows app as last resort...
Thanks for any hint!
Check out Beyond compare (Trialware)

Beyond compare is best for comparison of 2 files

I'm trying to debug my iOS code on device and simulator. Every time i drop to LLDB I find it extremely frustrating to do even basic commands like "print". I find lldb to be poor at resolving return types.
You'd think something like p myView.bounds.size.height would just work, but it's actually much more complicated usually, involving casting multiple return types along the chain to finally get the value you're looking for.
Friends who i've watched code seem to just put up with it and spend a lot of time on LLDB semantics. Are there really no better debuggers (or plugins or something?) available?

I need a control which can display thumbnails similar as seen on the attached image.
It should support:
virtual mode
handle up to 50.000 images
thumbnail groups
scaling
work with Delphi XE3.
If such control does not yet exist I would have to create one from scratch. What is the best strategy for developing a control like this?
See an example of what it should look like
RMKlever has a series of blog-posts and sample code here. that can emulate a wide variety of things, but you would have to make code modifications yourself if you're particular about your desired format.
I believe the control is one of his own called rkView. The demos may require a lot of work to get them working for you, I found working with his stuff was difficult to get started with due to lack of documentation and samples but I eventually figured it all out.

Using spreadsheets is definitively non-authoritative: source mappings change as you design and test your ETL jobs. A spreadsheet that once functioned as the single or authoritative catalog of all source mappings might not get updated -- or (just as likely) might get updated with incorrect or incomplete information -- as the ETL design process evolves. How do you solve your data mapping problems?
Only allow 1 person to change the dictionary; but allow everyone to view it. On one of the sheets keep a track of all change requests (yes manually): name of person, datetime, fields they wanted updated.
Sounds more like you have a version control issue than an ETL issue.

The US census for 1930 is available online as a series of large pdfs. Sadly, as far as I can see, there is no free service that has also run OCR on it. There are, on the other hand, a lot of online examples of successful OCR done by "enthusiastic amateurs". So, let's start at the beginning.
For example, a single page can be seen at http://i47.tinypic.com/2i7tt8k.png, and here is another one:
What would be a good way to extract the different words from the image so that one can start to try to train a system to recognise them? Ultimately I am seeing this as a tricky machine learning problem.

I am looking for good and fast xml parser for ARM platform (I am using Beaglebone) . I have spent sometime searching in google, and got following parser libraries.
1.libxml2
2.ezxml
3.minixml
Can you please suggest a good parser for ARM platform.
These are all portable parsers - the platform really doesn't add any extra considerations beyond the usual: memory usage, performance, and whether you need a fully featured parser and DOM or something lighter weight using SAX.
I wouldn't expect the results to be substantially different from those when these libraries are used on x86.
libxml2 is fully featured. You'll probably want this one if doing heavy XPATH, schema validation or XSLT. It's almost certain to be included in any Linux distro.
