QPixmap::setAlphaChannel artifacts

  I found strange artifact connected with alpha channel in QPixmap. In my project Owely, I use few layers to separate different tools interactions, so you just repaint some level without worries. So all levels had alpha channels set on constructor, but strange stuff appear, on the second initialization they wasn't empty, they was filled with previous screenshot with transparency, check the image


The problem was solved by this article: http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2009/12/16/qt-graphics-and-performance-an-overview/

there was words about setAlphaChannel that works unstable, and should be used with fill() method
m_pixmap = QPixmap(parent->width(), parent->height());    
m_pixmap.setAlphaChannel(m_pixmap);
m_pixmap.fill(Qt::transparent); // this fix the deal
I don't advise to use fill on paint event, or somewhere in the loop.

It's childish way to say system is too complicated, read the f**king manual, omg is this so hard?! So from perspective technical guy that have a lot of finished high loaded projects on the back, I want to explain my "sucky" point about it.  1) The thing that bothers me for last few weeks is news about Magento acquir...

Bounds.intersect is bad, mkay?!

I was trying to check when enemy ships are getting out of screen to destroy objects (optimization). First version Vector2 screenSize = new Vector3 (Screen.width, Screen.height, Mathf.Abs (Camera.main.transform.position.z)); Bounds screenBounds = new Bounds (new Vector2(0f,0f), screenSize); Debug.Log ("Ship " + ship.renderer.bounds + " Screen " + screenBounds); if (!ship.renderer.bounds.Intersects (screenBounds)) ship.Destroy (); So apparently this operation is taking significant time to check, end up replacing with this Vector3 screenPos = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint( ship.transform.position ); Vector3 screenSize = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint( ship.renderer.bounds.size); if (screenPos.x + screenSize.x < 0) ship.Destroy ();

Magento API + Java != Friends

Recently I've had a task to write small integration of Java to the Magento API, and meet a lot of troubles on the way. First of all Magento supports SOAP web-services that actually don't work well, I've found one solution http://code.google.com/p/magja I didn't tried because we spend much time trying to make them work with no result, so next was XML RPC based API that worked quite well on PHP examples, but caused more trubles. Login worked pretty well: XmlRpcClientConfigImpl config = new XmlRpcClientConfigImpl(); config.setServerURL(new URL("http://magento.dev/index.php/api/xmlrpc/")); XmlRpcClient client = new XmlRpcClient(); client.setConfig(config); Vector params = new Vector(); params.addElement( "defsan" ); params.addElement("123456"); String session = (String)client.execute( "login", params ); But other call's did worked, instead they show: Exception ...
