java - Web Interface or Graphic UI -

-

hey, i've simple question.

task: program backup system can used server-, or desktop-systems. backup system should include graphical configuration , status view. programming language should java.

question: use web interface, solve these jobs or create gui in swing?

my thoughts: - web interface has advantage is accessible everywhere (server - configuration made easy without additional software on client side). - gui has advantage more responsive web interface , maybe more professional on desktop-system than, web interface version.

which solution whould choose?

thanks!

the desktop vs. web app discussion depends on use application, , where. if it's going used person sitting @ desk (or @ desk of server), desktop application choice. if user may remote web application way go.

another consideration deployment. going deployed on 1 or 2 machines, or need installed / available 10's, 100's or 1000's of users? deployment , updates across hundreds of machines can onerous desktop applications, non-issue web-based apps.

generally speaking, can give richer experience desktop app. in case, however, "rich" isn't requirement. you're going have few buttons, perhaps window showing log of sort, , that's it. usability perspective can create compelling ui using either method.

if deployment , rich ui don't factor in, pick 1 either a) know well, can job, or b) want learn assuming have time.

since actual question asked "which choose", i'd choose desktop gui based on little information provided in question.

c# - Is it possible to remove an existing registration from Autofac container builder? -

something along lines: builder.registertype<mytype>().as<itype>(); builder.registertype<mytype2>().as<itype>(); builder.deregistertype<mytype>().as<itype>() var container = builder.build(); var types = container.resolve<ienumerable<itype>>(); assert.istrue(types.count == 1); assert.istrue(types[0].gettype == typeof(mytype2)); scenario: go through bunch of assemblies , go register types want make sure have 1 implementation of given type. need before create container. track on own nice if autofac me bit. this cannot done directly using containerbuilder , unless start on new one. mind you, having first built container should able construct new container filtering away unwanted types , reusing registrations first container. this: ... var container = builder.build(); builder = new containerbuilder(); var components = container.componentregistry.registrations .where(cr => cr.activator.limittype != typ...

php - Mysql PK and FK char(36) vs int(10) -

-
i have read mysql can handle indexes , searches better if tables keys integers rather char(36) uuid's. is worth converting int(10)? note: use 1 server , have have plans use multiple databases concurrently therefore removing 1 of big reasons using uuid. our tables innodb if makes difference. thanks in advance. usually rdbms can handle integer keys pk more efficient, other datatypes. reason how build index column, yes: long dont require string (or other typed) keys, should use integers. however: char(36) , int(10) far away being equal, because int(10) much smaller, char(36). dont know, if require many different keys, should keep in mind. update, complete last paragraph: int(10) 32-bit, char(36) 36 - ^byte^ (= 288-bit). not mean, int consumes less space, means, char(36) has 4 times more different keys.
